same here, but 5 years. [/quote]

Your reply made me think.

We were very happily married at 5 years.  Now at 14 things are sort of a different story.  We're both highly committed to the relationship but I wouldn't say we're happy most of the time.  Somewhere between about 8 and 12 things got HARD. 
I'm not saying this will happen to you but I do think you're still in the honeymoon phases of the marriage. [/quote]

Why does pp have to be in the honeymoon phase? Why can't some couples just be happy and others not say it's bc they aren't together long enough?[/quote]

I see it as a couple married only 5 years doesn't have as much time to slip into that comfortable groove with their spouse. I'm in that groove and it's not a bad thing but it lacks that early momentum you get from wedding - joint housing - kids - career building - more kids - possible relocations. After a while everything kind of settles down and some couples don't do well without as many outside forces distracting them from being just "us."[/quote]
