[quote=Anonymous]I've been married 10 years.  We have an average to very good relationship depending on the day/circumstances.  Biggest stresses over the course of our marriage that created strain:  having 3 young kids, constant demands on our time as a result of having kids, lack of sleep, feeling imbalanced in terms of responsibility pertaining to the kids, lack of time together due to kids, stress over job demands and potential moves or long distance travel as a result of promotions and job opportunities.

Biggest stresses/life changes that have brought us closer together: childbirth, death of parent (one for each of us), hospitalization of kid, learning challenges with oldest kid

For us, marriage was kind of a cake walk before kids.  We definitely bicker more than before kids.  I miss those carefree days sometimes when we would come home from work have sex, cook dinner together while drinking wine and chatting about our days.  My husband is a solid, hard-working man.  He is supportive of me and trusts my judgment.  I feel lucky everyday that he married me  Sex is still good although I'd love it we we had more (1-2 times a week now ).

Our kids are now between the ages of 3-6 and it's so much easier than it was.  We have a date night at home once a week, a real date out at least once a month, sometimes twice (great babysitter) and 2 weekends away each year (spring and fall) thanks to Grandma.[/quote]
