    7 secrets to a long and happy marriage

    Hey guys,
    I got this site in my mail
    I've been married for 42 years and I can vouch for these suggestions. Also, most of the time its not too late to get some help and save a marriage....within reason as I don't think anyone should stay in an abusive relationship.

    Check it our and add your two cents worth!

      7 secrets to a long and happy marriage

      Nancy,
      Going through life with one partner is beautiful. My parents did it. As well as my grand parents. I could'nt do it. Sometimes one partner will carry an uneven yoke. After 9 yrs. with the first one I could'nt. I've been with my 2nd lady for 20 yrs. Our yoke takes the load evenly. IAD.

        I like the part where it says " Now that he's gone, I wish I hadn't had so many headaches"

        I try very hard to think about what I would do if today were my last day with the person I love, and lately I think I had forgotten it a bit...this reminded me of that.
        It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

              That was a very interesting read, I must say. I am thinking we (me and hubby) need to start working on those. Our marriage is pretty much lacking all of those. Makes me wonder why we are together............ hmmmmmm

                Thanks for reading guys.
                I think long term commitment is one thing that is missing today.
                Marriage is hard work but so worth it in the long run!

                I know we have to each give 100% No 50/50 involved it seems!

                    I agree -- it takes three -- all three -- sometimes one of the two mortal ones is not there -- so it can't work....

                    If both can commit..God will surely be there ...

                    I have a 31 yr marriage which I guess some would say is successful...it has never been bad enough for either of us to leave

                    However, I try not to judge ...
