Does Anyone Else Have a Good Marriage?

[tammyandtommy]

as I passed this post, I thought Id drop in and say, that I have been with my husband since I was 15, I am alomst 29, we have had terrible times, ruff roads, and a few bumps. BUT we are still so much in love, our freinds dont understnad we still act like newly weds, kiss, hug, PDA's etc, they actually ask us to stop. I understand where it is coming from none of them are as happy as Tom and I but why should I stop becuase they are uncomfortable. I tell them I understand how they feel, but this is my husband and I will kiss him and hug him when ever I want, we still have that magic, where they dont, I go out of my way to make sure we dont lose it, some people dont want to go out of their way to keep that, and they fall into the mundane. Some people have to learn life is what you make it.

Oh and PDA, I dont mean we are drooling on each other just lovey dovey! LOL

Been happily married for 11 1/2 yrs. We were high school sweethearts and been together over 20 yrs. I feel very blessed.

He calls me from his cell phone, as he's pulling OUT of the driveway and we talk while he's going to work (after we just got finished talking in the house).

That's just like my DH! I look forward to that cell phone call every morning. My DH is my best friend and soulmate. We have been married for 2 1/2 years and together for almost 11 years. So, yes, we definitely have a "happy" marriage!

DH and I have been married for nearly 11 years and been together for almost 15 years. Today we just returned from an anniversary trip to Big Cedar Lodge. We both can't see being with anyone else for the rest of our lives.

I got lucky and got one of the really good guys. It'll be 20 years of marriage in June. (He'd better get me something really good...just kidding! )He makes me feel attractive (and he's pretty hot himself) and he laughs at all my jokes---what more could I ask for? (Well, that he not floss in the living room...but I digress)

I just asked my wife and she said "Yes, we do have a good marriage."

My DH and I have been married about 6.5 years. Still newlyweds by some standards, married forever by other standards. We've had our share of ups and downs but when the day is done there is no one I'd rather be saying goodnight to. Does anyone else feel this way? Or are we all doomed...

Same here! I have a wonderful husband. I am very lucky!

I wanted to jump on board and say how excited I am to see so many good marriages out there. DH and I have been married 3.5 years (together for 5). We always aim to respect and love one another. Yes, we have bad moments, bad days, etc but we always come back around. We both come from divorced homes and have decided we don't want that fate for ourselves or for our future children. We are committed to doing right by one another. There's nothing better in my life than going to bed every night knowing that I get to wake up next to him in the morning

My DW and I went on our first date February 11, 1978 over 28 years ago. We were married August 28, 1982. This August will be 24 years and I can never imagine not being married to her. I love her more now than when we got married. We have had ups and downs but for the most part it has been very good. I think the key is a commitment to work on the things we disagree on and allow the other to have space when they need it. We take care of each other and have many similar interests but also allow each other to do things that we may not care for. It's so much give and take. The other key is we can still make each other laugh and that always helps.

DH and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in a few months. We are crazy in love with each other and would marry all over again in a heartbeat.

I honestly think a major overlooked secret to a happy marriage is---be nice to each other. It's amazing to me how many couples seem to skip over that one.
