How would you rate your marriage?

[Jackie0824]

I guess the post about how your would rate your spouses looks made me think about this?
Its funny(well not so funny)how everybodys marriage is different. I had a friend tell me she would never allow her husband to do what my husband did. My husband put together a so called race car over the summer. Last weekend he drove it 2 hrs away to run it on a test track(there isnt any in our area).She said she would never allow her husband to do that.hmmm. Anyways, on a scale of 1-10(10 being the perfect marriage)how do your rate yours.
On a general basis, I would say ours is a 5, some days it is a 7 or 8. Other more trying times 2 or 3. Hey what can I say, Im honest

I'd say a 7. There are areas where we really need some improvement. Our fights are mainly over childrearing issues. It's next to impossible to come to some sort of compromise over it.

Other than that, we get along very well despite the fact that I'm difficult to live with.

Hmmm, let's see. Well, I took off one point because noone is perfect, and then one point because we could always find ways to improve...and then one point cause he really pissed me off this morning, LOL...so I'll say 7

9 here. We both put the other one first, we both raise the kids, we both do house work, and we are both supportive of the other ones needs.

I'd say an 8. We both work really hard at our marriage, and think of each other first. We both could be a little more organized but we get things done. There's nothing we're in "need" of in our relationship. I think it helps that we also think of each other as our best friend.

If you had asked me two months ago, I would have said a 5. We went through a really tough time. But things have improved dramatically, so now I would rate it an 8.

I'd say 8 as well. 10 is perfect and I don't think there is anything as a perfect marriage or perfect people. We have our disagreements as i think all couples do, but for the most part it is a loving, respectful marriage. 15 years and counting.

That is really awesome. It is so worth it when you can weather the storm and actually be better for it.

9.5. It is just about perfect (well DH is anyway). We have the same wants, desires, plans, goals, we have disagreements that are resolve quickly, never argue about money and enjoy each others company. DH does laundry, cooks, cleans bathrooms, cleans dishes and vacuums. The only thing that he will not do is dust (worried he might break something). And the best thing is he loves to vacation at Disney. I count my blessing everyday. BTW we have been married for 22 years and hope to have many many more.

I'd say mine is about a 7. However, it would be higher if I made a bit more of an effort to stop being so childish.

We get along most of the time and have a great time together. I can't imagine my life without her. However, I do at times think like a child, wanting things for myself.

Some days an 8, some days a 9.
Maybe once year (or less often) we go through a few days of 5's.

We all want things for ourselves. Maturity comes in tempering what we want with what's best for the family.

Wow, I was going to write the same thing--right down to the dusting! We haven't been married for quite that long. For us I think that the old saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" truly applies, as my DH is away on business up to three weeks a month. The first day or two when he gets home is a little difficult, he throws off my groove, but then the first couple days when he's gone again are difficult too, as I miss him!

I was going to write almost the same thing, except my DH will dust!!!! We've only been married since September so I guess we're still in the honeymoon stage...but I just don't see things changing that much. I can't imagine my life without him and I can't wait to get home from work every day to see him!!!

8.

Down to a 4-5 on days when my back pain is kicking my *** (but that's my fault)

It would be a 10 if my DW would let me remodel our family room & buy a new HD TV

 

[kydisneyfans]

An average of 8 here.

9 during 26 days of the month-a 3 during the other "4" days where I cannot do anything right no matter how hard I try.

9.5 as I can't say anything is perfect in this world

He's my best friend. We've been married 14 years, together for 21 years. He respects me and that is the key. Plus, we both feel fortunate to have each other in our lives. I just love him so. We've been blessed with two daughters who make us smile everyday.

I thank god everyday for my family.

I would say a 7-8. We really have a lot of trust in each other and are definitely Best Friends. But, DH has been working 50-60 hours each week at work lately. And most days, I'm completely drained by caring for a toddler and a preschooler. (After hearing, "me, me, me" all day, I just want some time for ME.) So, any time for DH and I to spend alone has really gone by the wayside. I'm looking forward to our vacation and to DH's time of during the holidays as a chance to reconnect as a family and as a couple.

I'd give us an 8. We are best friends, we rarely if ever fight/argue, there is a ton of respect and love between us.

It is sad to look around at our friends because they ahve either all gotten divorced or have broken up. They seem to fight all the time, I mean down right screaming at eachother for stupid things too...

I thanks God everyday that I was lucky enought to get Bryan.

I'd say about a 9... nothing is perfect, but ours is really good
