How long have you been married?

<Raised on Promises>	I turned 23 the day before my wedding. He was 46, we have an AWESOME marriage! I can honestly say that man is my lover and my best friend. It'll be 2 years in August!

Alexa's mommy â™¥	My husband and I've have been married almost 2 months. And we are incredibly happy together â™¥

Miss Behavin	Been married for nearly 27 years. I was 19, met him and 2 months later got married. Pretty darn good, I mean everyone has problems now and then, but nothing that we couldn't handle as a team/couple.

Susan C	Been married 26 years,we were both 19 when we got married.Yes it is a good marriage.The key is commitment and communication!

BELLE	been married 20 years and still happy 11 year age difference but that hasn't been an issue really I find it sad so many people divorce and split familes up

Anji	Congrats :) I was 22 when I married my husband 12 years ago. Marriage is not always easy but if you know how to communicate and learn how to pick your battles wisely, it will work out.

oh_jo123	the first time I got married we stayed together for almost 7 years and not very happy as he loved to drink and hit me the relationship I am in now is the best one EVER I plan on staying with him forever and ever good luck

Berly	Was married at 25 for 4 years and i know him all my live and again when i was 30 its been 1 1/2 years and i am very happy new him about 6 mounths.

jojo	I was 26 and my husband was 36. We've been married 2 years. It's been really rocky. We are going to go to marriage counseling. But most couples are happy together as I'm sure you will be.

anjum a	me too 2 weeks.... :) if I recall your expressing so much stuff has greatly improved, english has improved considerably. How did you learn excellent english THAT fast. Care to inform me on anjum1us@yahoo.com i.e. if not too much a bother. Thanks. anjum azad

~Baby D~	28, yes, been married a year and a half. This both our second marriage and it feels so much better in every way this time. We are expecting our first child togather in 21 weeks.

LDJ	1. 20 years 2. 13 years 3. 4 years and marriage is to death do we part. It's just sometimes comme before you want it to. So give all the love you can to each other.

og	I got married when I was 19 When I was 31 When I was 54 I planned on 1 marriage also .... Seems the third time is really the charm for me . Good luck .. marriage can take a lot of work ... my only advice to young married couples is .. BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER

Richard Phua Gek Khoon P	Hi Friend, The road is still a long way. See how faithfully you both of you can keep on going. The sky is not alway blue. Starting is good but for long journey we do not know. So alway pray for lord Jesus Christ. I do not know you are Christian or not but I trust the lord Jesus Christ.

TheSafetyMan	17 years in September. Its a great marriage! Marriage like all relationships have there ups and downs, the real trick is making the committment to be together through it all, communicate, trust, and love unconditionally. God Bless!

Lstar	The 24th of May will be 5 yrs. Together for over 8 yrs now. I love this man with all of my heart. He is an amazing father and husband. We got pregnant on our first date- and have been inseparable since. We complete each other. If you love your husband as much as I love mine- you are set for life sweetheart- GOOD LUCK!!

BrewTownbadass	We will be married for 3 years in September. We were both 23 when we got married. We've definitely had our rough patches but I would consider it a good marriage. My pastor described marriage to me as a ball on an incline. If you don't continue to work on it, it will roll down the hill and you will eventually fail. that is what has kept me going, knowing that it's not easy but it's SO worth it!!!

Triple M(Queen of the Ring)	TOO LONG!!! ha ha just kidding, we are very much in love. We have been married for four years, started out with nothing. Someone had to buy our wedding rings for us. Marriage is a roller coast, you just have to learn how to ride it! ITS AWESOME! GOOD LUCK!

db	I got married when I was 31 my husband was 42. We have been married this July will be 4 years, and it has been very hard for us. At first it was all great but, things with our kids and his kids mothers and just life with us has been hard. We have been to counseling and it really works miracles.So just remember that. Wish you the best of luck !!

Lee21	Been married for 7 and 1/2 months... and I will be 21 (next month)... I will tell you just from my last 7 months that ITS HARD!...My tips are these: don't make divorce an option... Don't talk about it or seperating... To make a relationship work its a choice everyday. Some days it comes naturally and some days you really really have to work at. There have been times that I have looked at my hubby and thought to myself "why did I marry him" At one point after about 3 months... we went to counseling... I thought our marriage was starting to fall apart.. but my counselor said that what we disagreed about were things all people disagree about. He said "Its all about balance... learn to balance your life together..." Also.. I have learned that you have to pick your fights... We have always fought... almost from the very get go. I had guys walk all over me for years and then i woke up. I don't let him walk on me and he is used to that (now.. well sometimes) But for the sake of argument sometimes you have to just walk away from a petty fight and say "baby you win this one." And accept certain things... Like I have been telling him for 5 months straight to close the shower curtain after a shower so it won't mold but I've come to the realization... HE IS NEVER GOING TO REMEMBER THAT! lol... So I let it go. Congrats and good luck!

buttrfly52	First piece of advise... no matter what, the first year is the hardest. You are learning to deal with his quirks and visa versa. Remember everyday to thank him for something, even if it is a smal something. Read Dr. Laura's proper care and feeding of husbands. It helped me soooo much. Best wishes on your wonderful day, and every day after.

Stace	I've been married 11 months, 2 weeks and 1 day (I just barely figured that out, I don't walk around with that number in my head!). I was 20, he was 29. It's been a very hard marriage. I married my hubby, children, and an ex-wife too! It's been very hard, but it's been worth it. I'm still here and I don't plan on ever leaving. We've gone through court battles, ex-wife hitting on him, children being taken away, CPS being called, and a whole lot more. But we don't have a whole lot to sort out between the two of us (knock on wood). It's definitely worth it though.

Valerie	I have a good view about marriage, although I am divorced now after 12 years of being hooked. I think circimstances change and things happen. I agree with Susan C. It depends on commitment and good communication. Something that my husband and I never had. I say, go for it, good luck and never ignore each other. And I hope you live a happily married life with each other until death due you part.

Tired and Cranky	we've been together almost three years married for almost 1, in general yes it is a good marriage........ I haven't been married that long but I wish someone told me this before I got married....... it doesn't always stay that great. Of course there will be hard times that you both will have to work through but if there is one MAJOR lesson I have learned since getting married it's that things change, men (and women alike) think that all of a sudden that it's ok to stop treating eachother special, they seem to get in a rut. My biggest piece of advice from what I have learned to far is 1. when you get mad STOP count to 10 and then start a conversation 2.make sure he knows that holidays are special (i.e anniversaries, mothers day (if you have kids) etc.) 3.you both have to make time for togetherness (like a date night) and make time to be apart (you go shopping he goes fishing) Good luck

badcat	I was 17 when we got ingaged and moved in together.And I was 19 when we got married.two weeks ago we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary.Our marriage is good we still love eachother very much.Marriage is a wonderful thing if you respect it.And you are willing to work on it.Remember to never take you partner for granted.And leave your need to be right and always win the fight at the door.One of the biggest problems I have seen in relationships .Is someone always wanting to get on up on the other.

Mel	Meet and got together in high school from 1990-1992 I moved up to San Francisco to attend college for a few years and so we went our separate ways. When I came home during my last spring break in April 1998, we ran into each other and hooked up. Been together ever since. Got married in October 2005 (I was 31 and he was 33) Alot of crazy "life" things have happened since we married - my grandmother died, his uncle died, I left my job after 7 years for a new better paying job, his company closed its doors last summer and he's been looking for work ever since. Its been rough, but we've known each other for soooooooooooo long and our foundation is so strong, we know we'll make it through all of this. Once things settle down and he finds a job again, we'll buy a house and plan for a baby!

KSPENCER	I have been married for two years, n its hard. You really have to learn to adjust and accommodate in order to make it work. The best thing isn to pick your battles, and remeber that it's the little thing that make the biggest impacr, both positive and negative. Never go to bed mad, and make sure that if you have kids, that you always make time for each other. But also, never compare your relationship to someone else's. What is good for the gander is not always good for the goose!!!

Momma	CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MARRIAGE!! I was 21 when I got married and we have been married for 6 years. We are happily married. Marriage takes a lot of patience, compromise and acceptance that you two are different people with different thought and ideas. And always respect each other. If you loose respect you loose everything in my experience. Oh and its ok to have an argument but keep your self under control it is EASY to say things that cut to the bone and you can't take that back. Good Luck with your Long and Happy Marriage! If both of you are determined to make your marriage last and devoted to making each other happy You Will be together til the End!

blujello	Good for you guys, and congratulations! Your plans of staying together till the end is brilliant... My wife and I have been together for over nine years and married for almost eight years. We have two awesome little boys... and we love our life together, and like you guys we plan on staying together till the end... I could probably beat you up with advise from the experience of my marraige but I will spare you an agonizingly long answer to your question, but I will say, tell each other you love each other daily and multiple times throughout the day... also, don't ever go to bed angry, and let no other man or woman become your best friend, you have the best friend you could ever have and everything you could ever want right there under your roof...
