I think the key to marriage is not getting a divorce...just kidding. DH and I have been together almost 9 years.I love him to death and he is my best friend.I trust him 100% and he trust me.We also give each other space.I think it's important for him to go out once in a while with his friend and he likes it if i go shopping with a girlfriend.My mom babysits Jesse often so DH and me can have some time together.It is important to be totally comfortable with each other.Sometimes we are both on the computer,in the same room but we still enjoy "being together".I am still so in love with him.He has his things and so do I,and with a problem we talk about it and if i am really upset I write him a letter....that way he can't interupt me and he gets the point better.

I can say that I grew up with my dh so we can deal with anything together bc we have been through it all. I think the reason why my son laughs all the time is bc we do. We are so unbeliveably corny in this house that we crack each other up. Fun with him is like fun with no other.

Yup. divorce can be a marriage spoiler! LOL

I've been married 8 years and 4 months, but we've been together close to 10 years. Toya, I think your parents are right when they say the first few years are the toughest (sort of like the make or break it years), and it does get easier as time pa__ses. The love I have for my husband is, by far, way deeper and multi-faceted than it was in the beginning. He's life juice to me, without him I would be nothing! The keys to a long, happy marriage?.... My guess would be having the same morals, life-values, goals, and sense of humour! You need to be able to laugh together. I mean really bust a rib!

MORE multi-faceted, that is...

I have only been married 4 years... We dated for less than a year and were engaged less than a year. I knew the day I met him that I was going to marry him. I think the key is respect. I know he has so much respect for me and I respect him. The first year was tough, though. We were in a horribly small apartment.... After that, it was a breeze!

I have been married almost 7 years (oh my gosh I had to think about that). I think the key is communication and compromise. We have also worked very hard at "fighting" more appropriately. We TRY to never fight in front of the kids, and we TRY not to say things to just be mean. We really try to listen to the others perspective and most importantly not let things build up and then explode. You have to remember the other person can't read your mind so you have to let your needs and wants be known. And we try to have fun and really enjoy eachother and life.
