Who's happily married?

[Goth]

Happily married for 3+ years. 2 kiddies on the way next month. A dog and a cat round out the family.

going on 7years, excellent times

5 years, 2nd marriage, still pretty damn happy.

If my wife or I pulled 1/2 the sh1t I read about the couples on this forum, I'd be single, kids or not, house hold to split or not.

And while it'd suck, I'd enjoy being single as much as I enjoy being married.

I'm happily living in sin....does that count?

 

[zbalat]

Never been happier. We celebrated 10 years in December '03, have been together for 13 years and have 2 very cool kids. Also, most of the kiddies here think she's hot even though that is way down on my list of her attributes.

 

[RossMAN]

2 years 5 months 13 days and counting

Valentine's Day (February 14th) each year is our 6 month anniversary, married on August 14th, 2001.

7.5 years ago I went into an internet chat room to kill some time, I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would meet my future wife there from Australia!

 

[Mr N8]

3 Years as of Jan. 6th. We're very happily married, and are hoping to increase our tax deductions soon.

I'm curious, how does that change EVERYTHING?

Would married couples with kids please offer your first hand experiences? The good and the bad

Coming up on 1st anniversary, 3 years together.

My belief in why there's such a high divorce rate is the misconception that marriage is just supposed be MAGICALLY wonderful and without work. A REAL marriage means you BOTH learn to adjust to each other's goods and bads and above all else COMMUNICATE! it DOESN'T matter how long you've been together, do NOT assume the other person should KNOW everything you're thinking and feeling!

...Of coure it's easy for me to preach it, but I myself sure as hell suck at practicing it...But I KNOW that's the right thing to do and we're BOTH working towards it.

Hehe, then someday we WILL be able to read each other's minds.

well i have an 18 month old daughter. the child does add more stress to the relationship. You have more arguments about money, cleaning, child raising etc.

Two years in June. Very happily married.

Well, before children, you can pretty much go anywhere, do anything, and at any time if you have the money. Once you have kids all attention is on the kid and you can't be as wreckless and crazy or spontaneous as you once were.

First wife...married for 15 yrs this June. We've been through tough times together and we are happier than ever

FWIW...I still think she's hot too

Children add a lot of stress into the relationship.

You are forced to comprimise your time with each other and learn to put the needs of others first always.
The ability to have the easy go lifesytle is gone. Maturity must take over.

Yup. Frozen solid.

Yeh, I have to stay in marriage for a year. Restocking fees on returned Russian Mail Order brides are a real bitch.

 

[HappyPuppy]

30+ years and counting. Started late with the kids, so my daughter is only 13 while my son is 22 and bumming it.

Having kids doesn't just add stress because of less spontaneity, it also means a lot less money to throw away on fun things. Kids are godawful expensive.
