Have you been completely faithful to this person? By choice?
Do you ever mourn not being single?
Would it be as solid a relationship if you were just co-habiting?

I have been Married to my Husband for almost 49 years coming this June, and couldn't be happier, and No, I do not mourn being single, and I have always been faithful to him, because, ever since I laid eyes on him I knew he was meant for me. We have always tried not to let any problem get out of hand, we usually talk it out and that has made us closer together, that I do not know what I would do without him, if God decides that his time on Earth has come to end. It would not matter if a couple is co-habiting, as long as they Love each other and is there for you.

Yes
Do you ever mourn not being single?
Not at all
Would it be as solid a relationship if you were just co-habiting?
Probably not,
We have 2 beautiful kids a boy and a girl. I could not be any happier after 13 year of marriage.

I am in a happy marriage that will be 21 years long in June. I have been completely faithful to my husband because that's what being married means. You are married to that one person and that person ONLY. This of course is my choice, but I made the choice when I said "I do."
No, I do not mourn not being single.
No, it would not be as solid a relationship if we were 'just co-habiting.' That's not a union.

I have been married for 9 years now and have a major "7 year itch". I am not happy in my marriage but will stick it out for my 3 year old daughter.
Yes, I do mourn being single and wouldn't mind going out again. This might have to do with my 7 year itch. I am not sure why I feel this way other than our marriage has become very blah...I know its me.
It might be a better relationship if we were co-habitating but I don't want that. I either want to be happily married or divorced and living the single life!!

Yes- over twice that long
I have been absolutely faithful, by choice-- I had opportunities to cheat, but did not, nor did I want to
I do NOT mourn being single- being in this relationship has made me more free than I could have been- I feel strengthened by it...
I think being married is preferable to co-habitating. It is an outward symbol to others, and a vow to each other & God that this is THE person, and not a game

Yes. I have been happy most of our 33 years. Not to say we didnt have our ups and downs, and had some rough times. I'd be dead now if I had been single. I dont mourn being single. I am where I need to be at and I am enjoying it. However, I think my wife got the worst end of the bargain.
I have said this in response more than once: " If I had married me, I would have divorced me a long time ago. I'd even have kicked my *** a few times" There's how it plays out with me. Youd have to ask my wife how she feels.

I am a cancer (sun sign) so I am naturally faithful. I do not find it difficult to stay monogamous. I am very attractive I get lots of looks and a lot of offers, but I personally CAN'T cheat!
I do miss the days I could just do what I wanted without telling any one, but mourn No!
I think that it would be just as fulfilling with or without a license. All that is is a piece of paper!

We've been happily married over 17 years. Both have been totally faithful. Very happy to not be single.
No, shacking up is not a good option for a great relationship. Better to have the commitment of marriage as you get to know one another, and share your lives together.

almost 9 years and yes, I am very happy. No, I have never cheated - never even wanted to cheat. No, I don't mourn being single, and no, it would be as strong.... Marriage forces you to work together...
