Since we have been married 25 years, I would say what has made the marriage work is the following:
We have good jobs and make enough money to keep ourselves in touch such as vacations yearly.
We have 4 grown children who are good people and have borne out the values we taught them of respecting others, seeking education in areas that interest them and in which they have abilities.
Mostly, the ';secret'; to our marriage has been to support one another in everything. We don't automatically criticize without thinking or cut down one another's dreams. We do find time to do the little things together such as quiet picnics, country drives and visiting our children, giving each other little gifts on Valentine's Day and our anniversary and watching a good movie we have been told about. We do make each other first in our lives although that had been difficult when the children were younger.
Strangely, we don't have a lot of friends but the ones we have are held dear and share in some of our little adventures.
Hope this has given you an idea of the positive aspects of our marriage.
D.What makes your marriage stand out from the crowd, what positive thing can you share with others?
We laugh - loud, and alot! We have a good time together, and we also know we each need some space and time with other people too - life is too short to argue about stuff... I see couples arguing over money or their kids or who looked at someones azz and I think dang life's too short for that crap!
When people try to involve me in a marital fight I have one thing I always tell them... when your mad and your about to fight, no matter what it is about, go to bed, have really great sex, and if you still want to argue go for it, but I'll bet the moment has passed and you can discuss it like adults...
the most positive thing I can say about my marriage is I married someone I want to be with - and I can imagine being with him forever and a day... that's a life sentence ; )What makes your marriage stand out from the crowd, what positive thing can you share with others?
We have been best friends since I was 15 and he 17. We share the same exact childhood and feel each others pain. We know that we will be together forever and always. He says to me without me he is nothing and together we are one. We have been through many years of growing and changing but evolving to realize we can not live apart. People are jealous of us...we keep each other strong when one is down. We will make it together I'm 33 and next wednesday he will be 35
First my wife is my best friend. Also communication has keep our marriage strong.
We actually like each other. So many of our friends and family members truly cannot say the same.
We still play with each other like horny squirrels.
After all these years.....I'm still alive!!
