I can't answer for anyone else but I can tell you what I see in my parents.. I see cheerful speech every minute of everyday.. I see love genuinely given and received.. I see smiles and hand holding and lots of touching. I hear kind words and lots of favors done ( without them being asked for or talked about ) ... I see love. I see real love. Founded on a true belief in God first.

It begins with a committment to Jesus Christ and agreeing that divorce is not an option. That doesn't mean it is easy, but anything worth having takes a committment. I heard the best definition of love at a retreat...Love is the choice to sacrifice for the good of others and is motivated by God.

Twenty-four years…it hasn’t seem so difficult…we love each other…we need each other…we enjoy our time together…it’s great. We are both Christians…we include prayer in our lives…we pray for each other and our children. We put our trust in the Lord and know he will keep us on the right path.

My parents have been married for 22 and a half years. I think mostly its about never losing that playfullness where you joke around with each other and alot about facing every problem the second it comes up. No bottled feelilngs, discuss everything right when it happens.

Hard work and not taking each other for granted. A good marriage is hard work which is why so many fail.
And unfortunately I am not speaking from experience, it's just my own personal theory from seeing so many marriages fail.

Loving each other, being able to communicate and compromise, trust, a good sense of humor and great sex. I have been married almost 15 years.

We stay married because we are madly in love. We do wonderful things every day.
Simple.

Children and unfair divorce laws. You take the children away and make the laws fair the divorce rate wouldn't be 51% it would be 99%!
