Married?

[sailortriforce]

This thread is only for those of you that are married.

How long have you been married? Do you think your marriage will last?

Thanks. Just need some things answered, that's all..

I've been married since April 23rd. This is the guy I've always dreamed I would find, and I'm sure we'll be together as long as we "both shall live." It took some time for me to find the right man, having had a disastrous first marriage.

Do not attempt marriage if:

1. you think you can change him/her
2. you think time will change him/her
3. you don't love yourself
4. one of the reasons for marriage is you don't want to be alone
5. he/she has habits/addictions that you hope they will quit.

Yep. We got married just a few months ago, went on our honeymoon to Kauai and are very happy.

Personally, I haven't been married, and it doesn't look like it's happening, but I have witnessed quite a few good marriages.

My mom and dad have been married for 21 years now.
My grandma and grandpa have been married for over 40 years now.

I must agree there.

I have been married for almost 3 years now. We are both verry happy, and I hope to be married for many decades.

Well, I'm glad you have so much faith in me ST.
And what's really cool is that even after all this time they're still really devoted to each other.

Psssh, any guy who doesn't like you is unbelievably stupid.

That's awesome; I hope I get married to someone like that.

Let's see... it is 33 years since I received my life-time sentence ;D

I got married when I was 18. I just had my third anniversary a couple of days ago. The only thing going against my marriage is that my husband is much older than I am and has already experienced life. I skipped a lot of experiences by getting married so young and that occasionally makes me bitter.

Wow, that's young..is everything working out ok, if I may ask?

About 2 weeks into our marriage his ex-wife caused a lot of problems for us. She made their son lie about me to the police and we have been tied up in court ever since. My step-son puts a bit of strain on me as well. He's 13 and I'm 21. My husband is very sweet though and has always tried to make me happy, but he's a bit possessive and that tends to make me want to go out and have fun without him which doesn't make him happy at all. And who can blame him. So I guess my marriage is full of up's and down's but we are trying to make it work just like everyone else.

Well, it sounds like being married is stressful..
