So often in this forum, there is all the divorce talk. My marriage is great, we have our moments, but things are wonderful. We have three wonderful children together and in October we will celebrate 11 years married. I have yet to find a woman who could possibly come close to be a better match for me. My wife is my best friend, the best lover, my greatest supporter, the best mother and the best person I have ever known. I have posted this question a while back, but I love to hear the good side of marriage since there is so much negativity on this forum. Tell me your good marriage stories.

Jax - to comment on your answer. That stat is incorrect. You look at the divorce stats that are provided. Here is how they are calculated. The total number of marriages during 2007 is 1000000 (made up number) and the total number of divorces is 500000. This appears to be a 50% divorce rate. But this is not 50% of the people who got married, it is 500000 of the total number of people who are married in the us at that time. It is a number used by those who wish to scream about the divorce rate. Of the 9 couples that got married when my wife and I did, 8 are still married and doing very well. And also, if you did not have a good story, than it was not a question for you to answer. Go to the sad divorce questions and have at them, this was a chance for people to feel good about what they have, or be happy for some others, such as Brooke M's story.

I'm not married but my story isnt about me it's about my grandparents. They met each other as teens and went through some very tough times together but they stuck it out and remained married to the day my grandpaw passed away Sept. 9 2006. They were together for 55 years.

YAY! Good question!!! And major kudos for your great marriage and family life!
My husband and I are very happily married. We don't have any kids yet, but we definitely plan to in the next few years:) I can't imagine anyone better for me than him. He is my best friend ever, the love of my life, the best lover, my constant encouragement, an amazing leader, and I know he'll be a great father someday:) I fall more in love with him every day, even those days when we have our moments (he's very attractive when we work out a problem, lol) and every day I'm amazed that I get to spend all the rest of my days with him:)

Well I am not married but my bf and I have been together for a year and a half. We moved together after 6 months of dating, we are still in college and that is one of the only reasons stopping us from getting married right now. My boyfriend and I have talked about marriage and what we want out of it. This is my soulmate and we do belong together, the year of living together proved it to us, we do fight but not as much as other couples do.
He is thinking about proposing sometime during christmas which will be our two year mark.
I hope that this relationship turns out like the marriage you have minus a kid, he wants four but I only wanted one so we have agreed on having one and then adopting one.
I do remember the first time we kissed it was romantic in a way. We were both at a party in college and we both wanted to play chess but could not find a darn chess game in the house, he said he had one at his apt., we ended up kissing that night and well I slept over but we didn't sleep together, which in college is unusual, he offered to give me the bed and him sleep on the couch as well but I told him no. I think that was sweet of him and I cannot think of another guy I rather be with right now.

My husband is a wonderful man and partner. Everyday he tells me he loves me and every day he goes out of his way to ask how my day was. Everday if he goes to make something for dinner for himself, he asks me if I'm hungry. Everyday he takes time out to play with our dog even when he's tired, even though the dog was my idea and my responsibility. If he leaves for work in the morning before I wake up, he comes in and kisses me before he leaves. He does chores without being asked and never acts like its beneath him.
He tells me how beautiful I am all the time and rubs my feet without being asked. He makes an effort to get along with my father even though their personalities are completely different. He goes to school full time AND works so that he can keep up his end of the expenses. If he goes to the grocery store on the way home, he grabs sodas for me even though he doesn't drink them.
He's my best friend and the best companion I could possibly have.
Marriage between equals who truly love each other are beyond compare!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but, most marriages end in divorce, and it confuses things for the children, so its no wonder so many questions are posted about it. It helps a little when someone can relate.
but it is great that u and ur wife get along so well!
ur children are blessed beyond their comprehension.

My husband is the finest person I've ever met. We've been very happy together for just over 21 years. Does that help?
