I mean, haven't even divorced once? And like been together for 10 years and still love each other?
It's just my parents were divorced and just about everyone I know is divorced. I had to go through it as a kid and it makes me sad sometimes. I don't even know what it is like to see a family with a mom and dad who genuinely love each other.

I've only been married for a year so I can't speak, BUT my parents have the most awesome marriage you could ever think of. They still truly love each other very very much. They still have date night, still hold hands, say I love you, go to the movies together and truly love each others company. They have been married for 45 years!! All of my Aunts and Uncles are still married to the same person and have been 30+ years each :)
It really does still exist ♥

Married 15 years and still in love. I only know a couple divorced people. Your question makes me sad, and I'm sorry you haven't experienced a happy family life. Growing up with a happy mom and dad is something I wish every kid could have. The world is not fair that way.

I am an Hispanic Woman that has been Married to my Husband for 49,years, and Next Year in June is our 50th. Anniversary. We got Married in 1958, I was 16, and my Husband was 18, we Loved each other a lot that no one could separate us so, we decided to get Married that Young. back then when you got to that age you were considered an Adult, and Girls, knew how to cook and keep House, and also raise Kids. We have 7 kids, all married with Family of their own, and we have seventeen Grand-kids, also a Great Granddaughter. Do we still Love each other? you bet we do, and we will still be in Love till our dying days. To make a Marriage work, all couples should keep their Love alive, and for some reason you feel like there is no longer that spark between them, then what they should do is have a long talk, and air all that is bothering them and I am sure that any marriage will florish, and couples will be together, Loving each other for always.

My wife and I have been married for 15 years and have two kids, and have been together for 19. We are still romantically in love, and have no signs of slowing down. I've read others saying that you have to work at marrage. I disagree. If you find you have to work at marriage, then you're in trouble; it should be as easy and natural as breathing. I think people make the mistake of thinking they can change the person they're marrying instead of accepting who they are - people are hard to change.
Ironically, both of our parents were divorced. I think seeing that misery while we were young made us want to be sure we were making the right decision beforehand.
I'm just lucky that way.

I guess i was a lucky kid. My mom and dad were together for 40 years. My dad passed a few years ago or they would still be together. I on the other hand have been divorced. I am now remarried for nine years and have no intention of divorcing again... LOL

Absolutely!!!!!
I've been married to my husband for 8 1/2 years. We got together 14 years ago when I was 16 and he was 17 and we have two little boys. Of course, we've had our ups and downs like any couple, but we've always managed to work through the hard times. I love him more and more every day.
Also, my parents have been married for 35 years. And both sets of my grandparents have been married for over 55 years.

That's sad to hear but we are out here there are a lot of married couples that are happy and have been married much longer than 10 years. I myself have been married over 28 years and have a 26 year old son who was raised in a loving home. I was raised by my two parents who showed no love towards me or toward themselves so i was going to make sure that my son was raised in a happy home with two parents who loved him.

The problem is, people make love a "feeling" and not a choice. My husband and I have been married for 11 years. To be honist, I don't care for the man everyday. He tends to annoy the crap out of me. If I let my love for him be a feeling and not a choice, I woulda dropped his as* two years ago.
