43 years for us and he is still just as gorgeous. We have had ups and downs, but when you find someone you truly love and have a strong bond with, you overcome problems.

Dont give up

That is fantastic:D what's the secret of such a long happy marriage?:D

i never like to jinx things by saying "yes I'm happy"...but put it this way I'd rather be with him than without him.

I have now been single for 16 years and have had all their tears and tantrums.
A must admit, I very much doubt I will ever settle down with anyone else. I am too set in my ways now. And I don't think I could put up with what some of my friends do.
I do find it hard though; as they ask my advice knowing I wouldn't put up with it, then I sound like a man hater. Which I am not. Honest.:D

I'm 20odd months into a *very* happy marriage (been together 12.5 years) and I have to say, I don't really know anyone in an unhappy relationship - my parents are very happily married, by sister's happily married, everyone at work I know that's hitched seems very happy...If any of these people *are* unhappy in their relationships, they certainly don't let on - so, I guess the reassuring news is that there *are* happy people out there.

Gosh, if a marriage was that hard, I've have left my OH years ago!

Every marriage will go through some tough times but, mostly, it should be a good place to be.

I've got a wonderful OH - I knew the moment I saw him (across a crowded room) that he was "the one".

Happily married for 20 years and love him more each day. It really was love at first sight and within a few days of getting together we knew we never wanted to be apart.

We had a bumpy time a few years ago but hung in there. Other than that we are and always have been very, very happy together. I feel incredibly blessed to have him in my life.

I'm happily married 6 years in we found the first year the hardest as we moved in together and had twins but i never went around bad mouthing him, maybe thats yoru friends problem...complianing to others instead of trying to work things threw with they're partners?

Oh and my marriage is very little work now it just clicks, we make an effort to go away together once a year as we have 3 kids, just a cheapy hotel break but thats not a huge effort either it's just special us time and not mummy and daddy time.

<<<<<<very happily married.

I have a failed marriage behind me, as does Mr H, but we found each other against all the odds 10 years ago (a long story!)

Life's rollercoaster is never easy or smooth but we ride it together, always.

Hi

We celibrated our 50th last week and are still very happy together. I am afraid it seems to me these days some people moan about their partners for any reason they can, the grass is not always greener on the other side. we hav over our years together worked through any problems together by talking to each other and worked out what the problems were and how best to solve them.
Moaning to friends ect does not and will not solve anything,maarrage is a partnership and is a lot of give and take to make things work and when you meet the right one things work if our marrage is anything to go by :0)
