Does Anyone Else Have a Good Marriage?

[mickeyfan2]

This June it will be 23 years. We both respect, trust and love each other. We have a wonderful marriage. I knew who I was marrying when I got married. I went in with my eyes wide open (as he tells me he did too). We both got the person we wanted to be married to. We are still on our honeymoon. And we have no set "available" time either.

I'm in a very happy marriage. I do tend to talk more about my failed first marriage--simply because it's a lot more drama than the fact that I am head over heels in love with DH. Even better--dd adores him and my mom and my sister think he's the best guy ever (aside from my dad--whom we jokingly refer to as Mr Wonderful.)

We're very appreciative of each other and go out of our way to do things for each other. He's the perfect man for me.

Going on 15 years for us, and we have something great. We both feel like we married our best friend. We also made sure we knew all about each other's morals, opinions on major issues, and thoughts on kids before we said "I do".

I am proud to say that my DD has no divorced family members. My parents have been together 46 years. DHs parents are working on year 41. His DS and DBIL have been together 12 years, and my DB and DSIL just celebrated their 21st anniversary.

We are lucky- we pick 'em right the first time!

This is my and hubby of almost 22 years:

We've been through some very tough times together, but we never lost sight of the fact that we are committed to each other. Sometimes when things are rough the feelings aren't there for a while, but we know we made a promise to each other, and so we stuck it out. It's amazing how the feelings come back when you never give up on each other. I know he's got my back and I've got his. It's such a comfort to have that safe place at home, and it makes me love him more and more every year that goes by.

DH and I will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in June this year; we've been together for 17 years (half our lives!). We have a very happy marriage, thankfully. It hasn't always been that way, though. We put each other through holy heck before we learned how to make it work. There were times when we were both ready to throw in the towel, but we persevered and learned how to get along. It was worth it; I can't imagine my life without my best friend!

Together 23.5 years.
Married 15.5 years, very very happy. Minor bumps in the road.

I still get butterflies in my tummy when I see him. I still have a crush on my DH.

July will 10 years for us and we both still adore each other and are best friends. We've had some very rough times and I almost didn't make it but we just worked at it and now feel we're closer because of it.

I am very happy being married to my dh! We will be celebrating our 7th anniversary this year. We've survived being poor, losing two children, dealing with major medical issues with our children, moving several times, job changes, and he's a firefighter who is away at work more than he's home - but we've survived it and I think it's made our marriage stronger. I can't imagine being married to anyone else! He is truly my best friend.

Married almost 18, dated for 4. Life is good!

Happily married here! Married for almost 20 years, together for over 26, since we were 16 . I still get happy when I hear his car pull in when he comes home.

 

[Aidensmom]

We have been happily married for almost 5 years.

I think the key is that although we have had our ups and downs, we both agree on what is a "problem" and work together to overcome them.

Maybe I shouldn't be posting on here since we only hitting the 4 year mark this December but let me tell that it has been some crazy 4 years. I've known Matt 5 years total(dated a year before getting married). In the 4 years, we have survived almost 3 deployments(halfway into the last one), numerous other couples divorcing and both the MILs. We joke that we are making it because in the past 4 years we have spent just over 400 days total together. Our secret is communication and being best friends. He still makes my toes curl.

Matt would also be happy if I was avilable 5x a year lol. No wonder his soldiers are happy he is leaving soon.

I can't see arguing about petty issues with anyone else! Err, I mean, yeah, I'm happy.

DH and I will celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary later this year. We dated 3 years before that. We are happily married!!!!! He and I both talk about how thankful we are to have each other. He tells me that I am his best friend. I let him know that he is my best friend. We love spending time together!!!! I have such fun with him. I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful to be in a marriage that brings me such happiness!!!! I love being with my DH!!!!! I thrill at his touch!!!!!!!!! On the day that we married I was SOOOO in love with him. I had no idea that I would be able to love him more, deeper.....I couldn't have imagined our marriage being better than it was on that day. But every day I grow to love and appreciate him more. Every year our marriage just gets better!!!!!!

We've been married more than 11 years and together nearly 15.

I think what makes most people unhappy is they are looking for a storybook spouse and that just does not exist. There is lots of give and take in a good marriage and so long that the give/take is 50/50, and you respect each other, that to me, is a strong foundation.

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

Married almost 26 years, been together 30.

We love each other and still WANT to be together.

Things definitely haven't been perfect (what is??) but we've been willing to work together through the tough times, and I think that's what makes the difference.

DH and I will be married 13 years in October and dated 9 years before getting married. Everyday that we have together is a BLESSING and I feel so fortunate to be so HAPPY. It hasn't alway been easy as pie, but we stuck it out and truly appreciate each other. He is the love of my life!

DH and I have been together 18 years - married for 13 of them. He truly is a great guy. I am so lucky. We have our moments but we both feel this is forever and some days just mean more work than others.
