[quote=Anonymous]I met my husband in a bar when we were both really young. I gave him my number, he actually called. We started dating. That was all luck. Realizing that he was the one and committing even though we were young (and despite having other options at the time and kind of wanting to be single for longer)  turned out to be the best decision I ever made. But the the last 20 years of making decisions together, moving in the same direction through life and choosing each other over and over is not luck. It's the day-to-day grind of marriage and sometimes it really pays off. Helping each other build careers while at times making big sacrifices to do so (those happened to become lucrative after a lot of work), giving each other grace (eg. not sweating the small stuff), supporting one another to keep in shape even when the kids and life got busy, prioritizing sex and seeing ourselves as a team --those things are earned and both partners need to put in the effort. Anyways, I guess what I'm saying is that based on my experience of a very happy, fulfilling marriage is that it starts out based on dumb luck but long-term success is based on years of tiny and big decisions that always put the relationship first.[/quote]
