We've been married 7 and 1/2 years now, and we love each other BETTER than the first time. Both the physical & emotional side of marriage just keep getting better for us - and it was terrific to start with!
It doesn't take much work to make it tick - for us, it just seems natural. For whatever work it does take - she deserves most of the credit. I'm very, very lucky.

After 12years of being together,9years of marriage I love my wife more than ever. But I guess I feel this way is because were always seperated from each other. I have been in the army for 17 years, and being apart from one another just makes us realize how much we love each other and miss one another. I am currently in Iraq for the second time, Desert storm, many feild rotation's and 12 months in Korea. But we have 4 children( 1- boy, ex wife, 3 - girls with her) I do have custody of my son.

I've been married for 6 years and we have a wonderful marriage. I still love him more than anything in the world. You have to be honest with each other when something is not going the way it should. Comunication is the key!! You have to have date nights sometimes. Even if you just go to a movie or dinner. Enjoy each other all you can.

Yes, it's still like the first time, but there are some days not. After 17 years, you learn how deal with each other in a effective way. It takes about 10 years to truly learn this trick. At least it did for me.

The lack of drama there is when you completely trust someone. My marriage keeps me on an even emotional keel.
It's not the I-feel-dizzy, feverish feeling of the first couple of years, but in those days every high had its low because while I loved my husband, I had not fully learned that he loved me, too. I like things better now.
We also share a lot of funny things we've heard or seen. A sense of humor helps buoy us up.

After 15 years with my husband, I have to say that it is better than the beginning. No, my stomach isn't in knots with the anticipation but I do have that awareness and knowledge that this was and is the right man for me. We have grown, fought, and made many mistakes but in the end we are together and we have had more joy together than we would have apart.

Tragic as it may be, it was around the 7 year mark that I realized my wife had some very abusive tendencies for anyone under her authority - especialy females. That's when I knew I was in for a wild storm that may be too much. You see, I was in the process of winning full custody of my daughter.
