    Dating Since October 9,2004
    Married Since September 1, 2007

    As I always tell people we are definately not in the "honeymoon stage" anymore. We have been through ALOT and the D word has come up but we try to sit down and talk instead of holding it in (me) or getting angry and yelling (him)!!

    We've been married for almost a year and a half, but TOGETHER for nearly seven and a half.

    Still as much in love as day one, honestly. Our life was made easier and better by our marriage. Plus, he is so supportive of me on my fitness journey!

    I have been with my husband for over 10 years (married for 6). So far so good. We have our ups/downs and our differences, but it's not like it's something we can't work through. Relationship is work and I am lucky to have found that one person I want to work with the rest of my life.

    I got married relatively young at age 20 and we have been married for almost 8 years now (together almost 10). It is still wonderful. Definitely not puppies and rainbows, and we definitely have HUGE ups and downs, but you have to work it out and WAIT it out. Whenever things get really bitter, they end up turning around a few weeks or months later. My husband just turned 30 and he has changed and grown so much, pretty much all for the better. Who knows, if you are patient and persevere when things are bad you may end up with a different person in a few years anyway. People do change.

    For me the key is mindset. I went into this with the mindset that divorce is not an option, except for physical abuse or infidelity. Now no matter how furious and vicious things get between us at times, I never wish we weren't married, I only ever wish the situation or his behavior was different. I know it's very hard and everyone's circumstances are different, but I also think some people give up WAY to easily. I've seen so many people divorce for lesser things than we've been through. Why get married at all? If you are only going to stay together until things get unpleasant, how is that different from just dating?

    We've been married for 12 years. We've definitely had our ups and downs. Marriage is definitely not easy, but when it comes down to it, I can't imagine my life without him.

    My husband and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary next week and were together for 3 years before we got married. I'm sorry your marriage is ending, even when you look forward to the end it's not easy. My first marriage lasted for only a few months before I decided he wasn't the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I hope you find happiness! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:

    Married 42 years in April. Not always rainbows and puppydogs, but we've always had each others back. There have been times when I thought "justifiable homicide" would be a strong defense, but we've made it.

    My husband and I are highschool sweethearts. He proposed on our 6 year dating anniversary, we got married on our 7 year dating anniversary and we will celebrate 3 years of marriage this October! We've been through a lot, but I can't imagine not having him by my side! I can truly say I am lucky to have in my life!

    I was in an unhappy relationship for 5 years, cut that one loose a year ago and now I'm with an amazing man who I'm pretty sure I'm going to marry. We've been together 6 months... yes, I know how this sounds, but when you know, you know. And I know. :)

    Married for 6 years and together for 10. The thing with marriage is that it is not easy. Everyday it is work and it takes commitement. There are always reasons for a divorce like abuse or cheating, but to me anything else can be worked through. :)

    Hmm thats sucks, im sorry your marriage is ending.

    I have been with my husband a total of 6yrs. Married for 4yrs we got married when I was 17 and he was 19. We have two kids together to. I will say we have had our very bad times, our seperations and our hate to look at eachother times. But we realized, there was something that made us fall for each other and stick it out this long, if we both put away our differences and try to help each other out more we might just make it. We decided that about a year ago... and now we are better then we have ever been. I am only 21 so I don't have many years on me, or dating experience but I know if you truly love someone and get married you vow in good and bad, sickness & health, and its a promise that you dont just throw away because you cant figure out your differences and comprimise.! But yeah :) that is just me though! everyone is different
