[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus Christ...does anyone in this town have a happy marriage?

I'm engaged. This page tells me we are eventually going to be unhappy and hate each other. My husband will cheat on me, I will be blamed for not putting out enough and spending too much time on our kids, and then, for financial reasons, we will stay together, in misery, for the rest of our lives, wishing we never met each other.

Yay.[/quote]

Happily married for 28 years.  We've been through it all and it hasn't always been easy.  We have had difficult times in our marriage, financial challenges,  more sleepless nights than I could begin to count with five kids, as they got older challenges just got bigger.  Now that they are adult children, there is a whole new set of issues.  And now that we are almost 50, we are dealing with some (fairly minor) health problems and the reality of being empty nesters.

We decided a long time ago that we were going to stay together and put our marriage first no matter what.  We have kind of a "you and me against the world" philosophy.  We love our parents.  We love our kids.  But we love each other first.  My DH is my number one priority.  He knows that no matter what else happens in this crazy world, I have his back.  I am his biggest cheerleader.   He would (and has) said exactly the same thing about me.

His parents just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary.  My parents have been married 50 years.  I think our parents' marriages gave us a huge advantage.  We knew what a healthy marriage was supposed to look like.[/quote]
