[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married 13 together 20. Very happy.  Mutual respect communication, laughing, still in love.  It's work - both of us make each other feel special and important.  Always say thank you.  Spend a lot of time together as a family and enjoy each others company.  You won't be happy unless you both work at it.  [b]If it's not what you want now, take the lead and change your behavior first, be positive up beat,   He may follow your lead.[/b]  [/quote]

I agree with this poster.  We've been married 10 years and together for 13. [/quote]

I'm the 10:39 poster and I just wanted to say that I agree with this 100%.  For many  years I stewed about the fact that certain things in my marriage weren't the way I would want them to be, and wished my DH would change.  One day I woke up and it sounds really fucking trite, but I just kind of realized I have to (to misquote Gandhi) be the change I want to see in my marriage.  I didn't do it subtly, either.  Well, some of it I did, but I also made a point of talking DH through it and telling him that I was doing certain things b/c I really wanted things to change, and luckily he did not feel threatened or defensive by it but instead he joined me.
