Thank you for the well wishes.

it's not just about choosing wisely.

it's about choosing again and again and again.

choose to be with her, choose to want her, every day.

not like a ritual but because that's what marriage is. there is nothing on that license that guarantees you will stay together. the two of you make that happen by choosing each other again and again.

I know. But I'm not planning on going anywhere. I know whats out there, and I know why these guys are all bitter. And I know what I have.

money does not necessarily equal happiness but no money equals sadness

people who tell that money does not equal happiness usually don't have any...

:heart:Longer even than that, thank you very much. :heart:

And PlatinumGold has it exactly right
"it's not just about choosing wisely.
it's about choosing again and again and again."

2+ yrs here, loving every minute of it

 

[Patt]

Coming up to 4 years here ... and we both love it

Of course there are a lot of good and happy marriages. When it's going well, there is nothing to talk about. Because it is going smoothly. How many people do you see talking about how well their marriages are doing. "Hey dude, guess what, my marriage is going great." "How about your's?" It's just not done.

When it is going wrong, and we don't have the answers right away, people like to biatch, and complain. Then there is something to talk about.

11+ years here (not to mention 5 years of dating) and getting better every day

I'm not trying to rub this in anyones faces or anything, it just seemed like with all the divorce threads lately. (I'm sorry to hear of your troubles guys) I'd throw my other side of it in there. It paints a pretty depressing picture when you only see the bad side of things.

Sure, we've only been married since Oct 1st...been together for over 3 years, but things are going great. The wedding went beautifully, the weather was amazing and I had a good time. Things have gotten back to normal, and we're both sort of looking for better jobs. Neither one of us makes a lot of money, although we're doing fine. The local housing market is showing signs of softening, which is good news for us...since we'd like to buy in the next few years.

The few months up to the wedding day pretty stressful for me and for her, because the wedding planning pretty much dominated our lives. But with that behind us I'm feeling a lot better. Up next we need to formulate a plan for getting a new car to replace her ancient one. And I guess I'll have to gimp my junker on for a few more years.

I'm optimistic about our future together. We both have a plan regarding children and home ownership, and most of our disagreements are over pointless things. She's a wonderful woman, I'm lucky to have her. I know I need to work a little harder on doing some romantic things for her, which I've sort of neglected in the past few months. And we need to work on finding a few hobbies we can do together.

Shens... the ink isn't even dried on your marriage certificate yet,....

 

[HardcoreRobot]

that is GREAT to hear, restores some of my faith

however, the fact that it HAS been only a month or so basically just reaffirms all the negative storeis (starts good, sucks later)

 

[IronWing]

12 years this month. Going strong.

The wifey and I have been married a little over a year, together for a little over 9 years before that. Everything is peachy and going fine. Everyone here wants to paint marriage as a hellish experience, but it's what you make it. Oh, and don't marry a crack whore.
