All I see when I come here are questions on divorce or cheating. Our marriage is not glitz and glamour, but it is strong, healthy and happy. We work really hard at this and the reward is going home to your best friend every night! Does anyone talk about the lighter moments of marriage? The good stuff?

My marriage sounds the same as yours. We are very happy, and yes, we have our bad moments, but we make a point to sit down and discuss them and work them out. That man is my best friends, my rock, my everything. My face still brightens when I see him and there is nothing better to me than going to bed with him at night, and waking up next to him the next morning. That may sound sappy, but it's just so true!

My husband and I have been together 15 yrs this July and married 13 on the 27th of this month and we are very happy together, we hardly ever fight and when we do we make up in minutes, I have a lot of health problems and we have been through a lot together, maybe that's what has made our marriage stronger. My sister acts all sick when she sees us kiss or hug, her marriage is a joke, husband never works and they nag each other all the time, I know quite a few marriages like that, guess people don't like to hear how happy other people are when they aren't.

Good question. My wife and I are still going strong after 20 years together and 17 married.
We have had a few rocks in our road too. and while we could not always avoid the pot holes, we never needed any major repairs.
Here's a little something that might make you laugh a bit. My wife and I where asked by our daughter what our first date was like.
I took my wife to Red Lobster and was so nervous that I put tarter sauce on my baked potato.
On our first anniversary, my wife as a gift gave me a potato and a jar of tarter sauce.
We still laugh about that. My daugther thought it was funny too!

My wife and I have been together for 10 years and we both agree we have a strong relation and we look forward to improve it even more.
We do have our hard times, fights, etc, but also good times, fun, and yes, lots of sex… lol. And we do enjoy being with each other and we always try to understand and help each other. That is what really counts.
Don’t forget, nothing is perfect in this life, and besides, if it was, it would be boring. A good matrimony has to be balanced, and we think ours is. Is it yours?

I've been married for 20+ years. My husband and I have eight beautiful children and our marriage is as strong today as it was when we first fell in love.
I enjoy coming home each night to my husband. We work together but we try not to see each other during the day but when we see each other at work, we flirt with one another as if we were still courting. The employees thinks its so cute to see us still in love.
Dont get me wrong, we have had our share of lifes ups and downs but I believe in my heart, that those changes that happend in our marriage, brought about a stronger bound to keep us tied together. And although we're comfortable being married to one another, we always keep the spntaneity going in the marriage. We sometimes drive his old 1977 Pontiac, and I snuggle up beside him as he drives. We act like two young people in love for the very first time. And when we have our arguements, I give him his space to calm down and he gives me mine. We never disrespect each other with nasty names or words. We play fair. I love him and he loves me
Two of our children our grown. The oldest was married in Sept. 2006. When he explained to us that he wanted to marry his high school sweetheart, I cried. I'm his dad's high school sweetheart. He even stated that she's on her way to be a great cook like you mom. That statement melted my heart.
I love my husband and through him, I'm a better woman, wife, mother, daughter, friend, etc...And I love being married to the man I vowed to love 26 years ago.

I am happy with my husband, there are times he drives me nuts, but I wouldnt trade that for anything. But I think people come on here as a place to get advice and also vent when something is wrong, when things are good you dont really have to talk about it b/c most people dont want to hear you gloat anyway

Yes, ours is, too! I have the same feelings you do about your marriage. We, too, are best friends, and have been married over 17 years, with one teen son. I wish this category were divided into Marriage, and another total one for Separation and Divorce, for example.

Married couples that are happy don't have many
comments because of just that , they are happy,
and because the majority of married people are
not happy that is why so much is read on them,
however if a happy couple can help those that are
not happy then there would be happier people in
this world married or not.

Been married for almost three years now. Second time for both of us. We have not had a single argument or disagreement. I've never been so in love with someone, in a relationship that required no effort, just coming naturally.
