    Been together for 10 years, married for a little over a year. I'm incredibly lucky to have found such a great partner and I try hard not to forget it.

    I 'met' my husband online when I was 15 and he was 17. We 'dated' and he flew up for my high school graduation in 2005, where we first met face to face. When I started college, we broke up for a year and a half, then started talking again. We got back together in January 2008, got engaged in April 2008, I moved to Louisiana to be with him in August of that year, and we got married in November 2009. So we've been married for a little over 2 years, and we've been together for what feels like forever, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

    16 happy years, there have been ups and downs, highs and lows, but I can't imagine life with anyone else. We've both been on the downside of the lows but we always pull through. He's kind, not perfect, and works so very hard for our family. I thank God everyday for the imperfect man, that is so perfectly fit for me.


    That is sweet! Noone every said relationships were easy. They do take work. Obviously there are certains things that can't be worked out like abuse.

    Married for 9+, together for 12 total this month. Best decision I ever made. I love my life and myself, but enjoy him being a big a part of that. There were some struggles around years 6-7 when he was unemployed and getting depressed, and not every day is puppies and rainbows but do fully believe we will be together for the rest of our lives.

    Married 9 years, known him for 17. Barring abuse or infidelity, I plan on sticking around:smile:

    I do think people give up way too easy these days though. Marriage isn't all rays of sunshine blown up your bum, it takes commitment, work and loyalty. In fact, I found the first year of marriage was the toughest of all.:laugh:

    I've been married for 11 (almost 12!) years... I love the man even though he drives me crazy, and he swears he still loves me enormusly even though I KNOW I've got my quirks too! I just tell him mental health professionals are on the list of people he can't see, because if they ever cure his "crazy" he'll realize what a bit*h I am... and he tells me I can't get glasses because then I'd see what he really looks like...

    I know, I sound all flowery and sappy and romantic... what can I say, it's a good week. We've had issues. We've been through 4 states, 2 kids, his stint in a wheelchair from a broken back, medically forced retirement.... wow, that's just the first 4 years, too. But we're stuck with each other, and 95% of the time that's a good thing! =D

    I've been married since 9/30/2006, met my husband on-line 5 years before that. Moved half way across the country to be with him, and haven't looked back. Yes, there are trials and tribulations, but communication is the key!

    Married for 24 years this September. Dated for 2 1/2 years prior to getting married. So together total of 26 years. We married when I was 17 and he was 19. Not saying we haven't had our rough times but he is my best friend and I couldn't imagine being with anyone else.
