Been married almost two years and i'm very happy. No marriage is perfect and it is a lot of give and take. Any specific questions?

After over 11 years togther we are still happy. We are polar opposites and that seems to work for us. We talk to each other like the Bundys (Al and Peg) and it sometimes freaks people out thinking we are fighting when in all actuality it the opposite. I still adore my wife as though it was our first day toghter.

My Wife tried to stab me last night

any more questions?

Yeah, Mrs. baughman, let him tap it soon! He seems like a very sweet hubby :)

very happily married - we were pretty unhappy a few years ago - def have had our fair share of problems in the last 10+ yrs - there are plenty of things that go into making a marriage happy - honestly, sharing the joy of raising our son has left us more happy and fulfilled with one another than ever before (though it's not always rainbows and lollipops) - we love and respect one another and truly enjoy each other's company - he's still my fav person to be around - we make each other laugh - and no, i'm saying this just bc there's a remote possibility he might read it (he hasn't lurked OT in forever*) - i actually mean it, as cliched and ghey as some of it may sound :)

EDIT: *guess i shoulda knocked on wood :)

Only married a year, but I've been with my wife for 6-7 years. I'm happily married. There are ups and downs. As should be expected. If you've previously lived together not much changes just because you're married.

I'm lucky because my wife is very forgiving, loving and puts in a lot of effort to making our marriage work. One can never have enough patience and that obviously goes both ways. I think the most important thing that makes us work so well is, focusing on how to deal with similar situations in the future, rather than focusing on/holding a grudge about the situation that just happened.

We are also very lucky in that we both have 100% trust in eachother. It's hard so hard for others to fathom the understanding we have of eachother. I could easily tell you that I would never ever worry about her cheating or hiding anything from me.

I'm sure things will change more when kids come into play, but if we are both aware that we will disagree/fight about the kids, prior to their existance I think we will be ok.

Talk to me again in 5, 10, 15, 20...... years.

I've been married for three years, together for eight. Definetly married up.

Our first year 1/2 of marriage was very horrible. I moved her away from her family and home, which she took out on me... completely changed our relationship.

Now she loves it, very confident, and our relationship is the best it's ever been.

At one point we were in the middle of getting a divorce... my dad has been married 8 times, my mom 3... I decided not to be like them and make it work no matter what.

btw... pics???

8 times??? OMG! He must be an eternal optimist lol

This is why we get along.

Me: Sweet it's on with Lefty's wife.

We hit 2 years this month, and for the most part I'm loving life. Our personalities really go together well, although I think that my severe weirdness rubbed off on her so much when we were dating that I ruined her for any other guy. We have a 2 month old son, a 1 year old golden retreiver, a 5 year old house that we've been in for just over a year, one cat that's cool as shit and one that reminds me a lot of Kim Bauer, but also pisses everywhere. If I didn't hate my job so much I'd say I really can't complain about anything.
What makes our marriage happy? The biggest reason is that we laugh a lot. Our senses of humor are really well tailored for each other, and stuff I find funny that she used to not care for (like commercials with old people riding scooters) she has come around on, to the point where she points it out to me if we're driving somewhere and there's an old lady riding one on the sidewalk.

Oh :( Guess women always think that they'll be the one he doesn't treat that way, huh? "I'm the exception, those other women couldn't make him happy like I can". Riiiiiiight! And the abusive guy is thinking "This is HER fault, SHE makes me act this way, I'll just find someone else and she'll be my dream woman and things will all work out". Does that sum it up pretty well?

Sounds like you didn't follow in your parents' footsteps, so good on you!

Mrs. Blonde and I have been together 16 years and happily married for 8. If you trust the person you are with it's easier to be happy. It's not perfect..and we have our battles, but we work through them. First few years were real bumpy. That was before either of us were committed to the relationship. And Im sure neither of us were in love with the other and we were off more than we were on. But the more time we spent apart the more we wanted to be together. Once we had kids we pretty much were dedicated to making the relationship work at every cost. If for nothing else but to give our kids a better upbringing than either of us had.

We woulda got married a few years earlier but we put off the wedding to save up for a house. We were living in a shitty cockroach ridden apt that we wanted out of more than we wanted a wedding. The true test of any relationship is how well it holds up in a crisis situation....and ours has faired well over a few very major disasters. I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for her.

I was married for a few months, but I'm a widow now. My wife was killed by a ghost. It was very tragic.

I have been married for 11 years and i am happily married. Of course i am never home but it doesnt seem to affect our marriage adversly. If it does anything it keeps it new and fresh because every 6 months or so you are relearning your spouse. So women could not handle their husband being away all the time so i am happy i found a great lady who can.

That would make you a widower, b :)
