We have been married 25 years last month.

Our love for each other has kept us together.

Our singleness of purpose which is serving Jesus has kept us together.

Down playing the importance of possessions have kept us together.

Not having a TV has kept us together. Therefore better communication.

I've always had a job. If the husband does not hold a steady job there is big trouble.

We don't look at our differences and try to defend them. We look at our differences and decide how will this help our marriage. If they don't help our marriage they are rejected. Marriage comes before our individual desires.

God answers prayer. So I credit Him in keeping us together.
Our involvement with other Christians (church) has been a steadying factor in our relationship. I feel it is important to have the same faith.

When in an argument there is more involved than the argument. I keep this in mind. Most disagreements when looked back on are not that important. We never had a culture shock when we got married. IE there are a lot of assumed things that just fell into place. We didn't have to argue them out. Neither of us were or are into city night life, (drugs, alcohol, movies, TV, parties) and we both enjoy nature.

No one else has mentioned this, but sex is an important element in marriage and frequent sex keeps us together. Along with this of course is being considerate and caring not demanding.
