Married 32 years....very happy.
We talk and listening to each other about everything and anything...we learned how to do that during 6 months of counseling very early in the marriage.

Married 20yrs,4months, and16days. There is no
secret, it's called both parties being responsible
to each other and committing, and loving each
other. As for the biggest obstical , never had one
as marriage is blessed.

I've been married for 8 and a half years. We've been together for almost 14 years...since we were 16 and 17 years old. We love each other very much and we both want to make the best home for our children. When you have love and respect for each other, even the biggest obstacle seems to be a little bit smaller.

I have never been married and i am not sure if i am ever going to find what i am looking for. One thing i am tired of hearing people say is that it's 50/50 it should be 100/100 in any/everything that you do you should always put in your whole 100% and then some especially in a marriage. I am looking for someone that can communicate/express his feelings/emotions/wants/needs etc... (without me having to pry it out of him) I am looking for someone that is honest(not using honesty as a way to be spiteful/devious and vindictive). I am looking for someone that keep in touch with his humanity and is compassionate and will not be afraid to tell me when i am straying away from those very same things.

One Month! One week!
We've been together for four years though.
I think it's because we communicate openly, and he makes me laugh. We're able to lead our own lives as well....we don't spend every single second together.
The biggest obstical we've gotten over was the wedding. Man that was stressful.

Our 18th anniversary will be the end of July.
Best thing to make things work is realizing the amazingly wonderful differences between men and women - our minds just work differently, and our emotions just come out in different ways. You learn that over time together. Keeping fun in the relationship; our love has grown and deepened over the years, and so has the fun and lust!
Biggest obstacles - serious health issues for each of us, unfortunately...

11 years this past June.
Make our marriage work by being open and honest -- we fight, but we get over it.
Biggest obstacle - He has an anger management problem. He has threatened me. However, he is working past those issues. It sometimes means we have to put a fight on hold so he can get hold of his emotions -- rather than work out our problems right away which would make me happier.
And I have issues with being independent. I like to come up with a solution to a problem and get to work on it rather than wait for his opinion.

married 24 yrs this october. no secret to staying together but, mutual respect and comunication are a must. biggest obsticle would have to be when we started having kids and he was working to much. it's hard being a single parent when that wasn't the plan.you just kind of keep going and do what you have to do. somehow we made it through.

7 years with a great guy. Things work smoothly unless we run into communication problems. I have to remind him when a problem arises that it is important to talk it out and resolve the problem so that it doesn't hang around to haunt us.
The biggest obstacle however has to be my dumba** ex husband and trouble he tried to create early in our relationship. Our love was stronger than his idiocy and now we're living happily ever after.

28 years.
Biggest obstacle: mistrust in one another for we made mistakes.
How we made it work? I guess we didn't, it was and still is the Lord who's making it work by making us stay focused on what we said when we made the vows. So we're together more on being servants of the Lord and not just in being husband and wife but parents to our kids whom God entrusted to us.
