What were your reasons for or against marrying the person you chose? and how long has your marriage lasted?
Are there some major issues that you've overcome? did some issue you thought you could overcome end your marriage?
Just curious!

these answers are great so far guys, thanks! How about some examples of what issues you've overcome, or failed to overcome? I love the guy I'm with right now... but we have a trust issue. It's gotten a lot better over time but i'm not sure it'll ever disapear 100%.so i was wondering, is it right to keep going if we love each other? and have others encountered such problems (maybe with a different issue than trust)?

I knew my husband and was dating him when I was 16. I married him when I turned 22 and he is the love of my life and my best friend. Yes we have had some really tough issues come up in the first year of our marriage and I really thought we were going to go our separate ways but we worked it and stuck it out with each other and have become more closer then ever. I really hope my marriage last til death do us part

I married my husband because I really love him. I thought about it for a long time before I said yes. We have been married almost 3 1/2 years. The major issue we are still dealing with is that he is in prison. We were together before he went in and just because he made a mistake does not mean he is not worth my feelings. We have both learned a lot about each other going through it and since we can really do nothing else but talk, I think we have a stronger relationship for it. It's not always easy and we do have our arguments but we do love each other and are willing to put the work in to make it last.

I married my husband for love, although we only knew each other for a 1 1/2 month. We've been married for 9 years, but have been seperated for 2 1/2 years. Don't plan on making the marriage work.
I don't think I've overcame any major issues. I have a hard time trusting men because my husband had an emotional affair.

My first husband I married for the wrong reasons. I wanted to get out of my parents home due to it was unstable and also wanted to act like I was an adult. He was wrong for me from the very get go. We had one child together and we were together for 6 long long years. I am currently married. I married my husband for the right reasons this time. He is a hardworking, honest, faithful man. It does get hard at time with being in a blended family. I do love him. We have been together for almost 9 years married for 6 years.

20 years.
Wonderful marriage and no major issues.
We enjoy each other, we have our roles and we know each other's limits.
We've always communicated and after we had our child, we made sure we set 2 days out of the week aside (no matter how busy we got), so we could spend time with each other.
Communication is a priceless in a marriage and never take each other for granted, purposely make time for each other.

My reasons to get married were financial...my reasons against marriage is because I really didn't WANT to get married. I moved 3,000 miles leaving a very lucrative position and after 6 months had no permanent position and no benefits and it was either leave (which he didn't want) and return to my home and the job or stay...Like a dummy I stayed, we got married, 23 years later we got divorced. I'll never do that again..

5 years - We met whilst he became into 18 and that i became into 17 and dated for the period of school. We married whilst he became into 23 and that i became into 22. i think of maximum "experts" advise a later age (late 20's or previous) because of the fact the appropriate age, yet we've been married for over 35 years now, so it ought to have been the appropriate age for us. and probably it fairly is the genuine key - date for an prolonged adequate quantity of time which you fairly get to journey plenty and get to comprehend one yet another properly, then do no longer worry approximately what the appropriate age is for marriage, in simple terms what the appropriate is for YOU!

I will be married 7 years this Dec. We got married after only 2 dates. I don't advise it to people but for me it just worked. Honest opinion I don't know why, other than the I loved him and wanted to be with him. It worked out wonderful in my favor but as they say on t.v. *results may vary.*

I've known my husband for 12 years, together for 7, married for 3.
Every issue we've faced, we've faced together. We've never been on opposite ends of any debate.
A marriage is a partnership, and ours is no difference.
