See true love is still around congratulations

Yeah, I think a lot can happen when people marry and I don't think you can point to any one reason.

A couple tips for a solid relationship:
For him:. If she's right, admit it. If you're right, deny it.
For her:. Let him think he's right once in awhile, it will stroke his ego.

Relationships are not, I repeat NOT a 50/50 compromise. If you both aren't willing to devote 100% to it, it won't last.

I agree papamike, You're absolutely right

i think another tip for a solid relationship is understanding their likes and dislikes because that can cause alot of problems,for example i smoke and my hubby hates it,,i have tried giving up ,maybe for a short period but the cravings are always there...i am trying to give up right now by cutting down drastically to 5 a day and it's kinda working.

what partners really need is an understanding,of each others needs etc...if it's hard to come to an agreement then meet each other halfway then that way either of you is proving a commitment or some way to resolve the issue,,,

anywayz love is a funny old thing,can't be seen or touched or felt but it's there,an emotion which has made and destroyed.

it takes alot to keep a marriage going but so little to tear it apart,but congrats papamike,,thats a hell of a longtime

many Congratulations papamike

still many years to go.....

By end of this month i will be completing 10 years of marriage with my hubby

Yes both have to work together for marriage

There are many compromises to make and even hurts are to be forgiven and strengthen the relationship

i agree with you sony,many pains and emotions are all part and parcel of a relationship,if you love each other enough then you will learn to forgive and move on....................i know sometimes its hard to forgive and forget somethings which either of you have done but that's the test,,,you either fail or win,a good heart will always conquer!

Wow 43 years is a long time Hubby and I have been married for 22 years, and he is not living here but neither of us believe in divorce. He said he thought a lot about coming back but he still hasn't due to our son still being with him. He is an issue around me and our daughters. But we talk daily when our son isn't around.

That sounds like all right for her only

Bad in my opinion , 100% for her , nothing for us

In my life it is around 60% for me and 40% for her

If she not like , she is free to go , good luck to here



Married for many years is no proof for happy relations , I am married for 36 years [ or say it in hell for 36 years ] just for sake of 3 kids [ and that is stupid reason ]

Yeah but you know what tasman1, I just betcha if she was gone, you would miss her.

Congratrulations with wishes for many more yes in wedded bliss.

I can relate to Walter. He's probably the other personality I have.

Congratulations PapaMike!!!

I wish you many more years of true love and bliss.

The highlighted portion is so very true. 50/50 would never work. 100% is all it takes. Thanks for the words of wisdom.
