Is there anyone here happily married?

Guess only happily married will post in this thread, which is fine. God bless you all

Very happily married for over 11 years.

I think many people tend to only post about problems. People don't always post when things are going right. CF used to be a lot more chatty and light-hearted some years ago. I wish it was still like that.

Happily married for 35 years. We have tried never to go to sleep angry at each other. (Didnt always work but we tried).
Seems like we argued more at the beginning than now. We hardly ever do now, I guess we know what to expect of each other. He is truly like the other part of me. Just like the Lord wants it to be. I am blessed.

My husband and I are still newbies to the marriage thing, but we're happily married nonetheless, and have committed to continuing on that way. We work things out in tough times, and yes we've had some even though we are new at it. Practice makes progress though, and if either of us is unsatisfied, we talk about it and make a plan to fix the problem. We have some pretty great times together, and always looking forward to more wonderful years yet to come.

Good attitude JoJo. Keep it up. He is your life partner, think of that. You have so many wonderful times ahead, so many smiles, hugs and even tears to share. Keep the Lord in your life and ask for His blessings in your marriage. I have a feeling you are already doing that. May He continue to bless your union.

Happily married for a little over a year! (we're still noobs)...It's not quite what we expected, but we're looking forward to the rest of our lives.

I have been happily married for 10 years! My husband and I both love our marriage. It gets better every year. There was a bit of a rough start, but I'm so glad we stuck it out because it is wonderful and we are very blessed. It's so discouraging to see the people around us divorcing, because most of them are good people, and we feel like if they just committed to try they could make it work. They have no idea what they're missing.

Been married for 3 1/2 years, it could be lots better, but then again, I suppose it could be worse. I guess no marriage is perfect.

Hi,
I think "happily married" is a relative term. We all go through seasons of ups & downs. Its what you do with those seasons that counts. I regretfully admit I had contemplated leaving my husband in our 4th yr of marriage but thank the Lord I didn't! I even gave him an ultimatum however the more other people told me that we wouldn't make it out of the storm the more I believe God led me to try harder & get over myself. We all have struggles & its hard sometimes to let go of expecation but its a must.
If your going through hard times tell yourself that this is only for a season. It won't last & God will make a way. All you have to do is believe & try to feel it as if you've already received an answer. Practice gratitude through prayer every morning. Please feel free to ask me anything & I will do my best to help. *hugs*
Matt & I have now been happily married for 8 & a half yrs. ☺

we have been married almost 15 yrs..i would say we are content..we have had lots of ups and downs...i think we don't necessarily fuss less , but actually get to the point of is this really worth the trouble to have him sulk, pout, and be angry for 3 days...i guess i have chose to pick my battles per se.. our last argument i hate to say the comment me of leave if you don't want to be here, but I have to stay bc i made a promise to god...that really hurt...makes me wonder if he still loves at all...and just doing out of his promise or bc he is comfortable...time has been easier for us..since we took our family to church and he was saved 5 months ago...here to the future

Keep steady in prayer & I will pray for your family as well. I highly recomend doing "the love dare" without him knowing. I hid my book in my car & would read it & journal during my breaks at work.

Have y'all ever noticed there's a fine line between being committed and SHOULD BE committed???? Just joking...but sometimes I wonder...

 

[blessedwife318]

I'm very happily married. I waited a long time to meet the right person but it was with it. We have been married 2 wonderful years and being a wife is a very fulfilling life for me.

Sometimes I agree yes there is a fine line. All kidding aside, I do think if abuse is going on then I would condone leaving. However that is strictly my opinion & not biblically based. I'm not sure that the bible even touches on that subject. I would have to do some digging to find out.

I couldn't be more happily married.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

I have been married 21 years, three kids, started near the bottom, got promotions, acquired wealth, lost a job, lost a house, lost one of the two cars and a bunch of other material things, unemployed for 15 months unable to get any government assistance until the last two months, got a new job last year, getting promotions and re-acquiring stuff. Still just as happily married as day one, we took the “better or worse, sickness and health” part seriously.

 

[johndoo]

I go to internetmonk.com some and yesterday's Valentine post talked about what love/romance is after 10 years of marriage.
It is a thoughtful piece.

Aye! Together for 15 years, married for 10. Never had 'ups and downs', just 'good, learning and ups' . I still do somersaults when I see him, he does the telephatic Carlton when he sees me (thank You Yeshua ben Elohim Sar Shalom).

Sounds like you two where a match made in heavan. Glad to hear you're the exception to the "rule".
