Is anyone else happy with and proud of their marriage?

Absolutely! I am married also to a wonderful man with 3 great sons. Yes, we do respect eachother and when we come across problems, we don't run away from them, we fix them! We do anything to make eachother happy even if it is just the little things like saving the last baked cookie for my husband. (smile) I thank God for him and my boys to the fullest each day!

Ladies, there are three things that form the basis of a strong marriage and they are: Appreciation, Respect, and Love

So make a difference by doing those things for your husbands or wives.

Marie, thank you for asking this question. Yes, there are many happy marriages and ones that last a long time. What is lacking in society is the realization that when you marry, you are making a committment to someone; way too many people rush into marriage thinking - Oh - if I don't like it, I can get divorced. If you are going to have that mentality, live together, don't get married. Marriage is a vow; one not to be taken so lightly, and, it is a mutual effort. Your mate is not there to please you; to make your world perfect; only you can do that. Your mate is there to go hand-in-hand along the journey of life; to support you when you need it, to keep your confidences, to be that 'soft-spot' to lean on should you need it and to love you unconditionally. The reason people cheat is they think they never will do so. Life is long and during the 'downs' in marriage, you might feel neglected, bored, overworked; whatever - and this is the time to turn toward your mate with your feelings; not to someone else. Many turn to someone else for that feeling of 'new excitement' or ego boasting. If only they would have talked to their spouse first they would have found what they needed all along. Okay - I have been married for quite a few years and both my husband and I feel the same as we did when we first met. I see him across the room and I just melt; he is so yummy and sexy and all. I tell him, the sight of you still brings out the desire in me. We treat each other with respect, kindness, and cherish each moment we have together. He is my best friend, my lover, my confidante and I am so lucky to have met him. He feels the same about me, but we do little things like call each other in the middle of the day to just say hi, I love you, or put little notes in each others car and we are playful; laugh together, very passionate still also. When you have the best, why look for any of the rest? Yes we've had down times in our marriage and, as I said, it was during those times that we turned to each other and needed the support and love the most. We do not judge, blame or get too angry with each other. When we tell each other the truth, we realize it is how we are feeling at that moment; not necessarily the truth, but it is how we are feeling and thinking; not blaming and ridiculing. So far, I've loved being married to this man and know I will adore him as long as I live. Any relationship takes work, understanding and lots of faith and love. Take care cherie'

I am very grateful to be with such a loving, and supportive husband. He is my world and he is my first priority. He has helped me be a better person, and wants nothing but the best for me. We have separated for two weeks because I was being the naggy, b*tchy wife, and I've learned that my attitude effects his mood and we are much better off after I realized my mistakes. My husband doesn't deserve to be treated with nothing less than respect, in fact, no man deserves that treatment.

We will live happily ever after and get through the rough spots together.

Yes my husband and i are for sure... We are very happy in our marriage and life together. Married going on 8 years almost together for 9. I feel very lucky to have my husband in my life. He is a God send and the best man that ever happened to me and my life. Yes we sure do expect to live happily ever after till death do us part. Great question by the way! Congratulatiions you you and your wife and to the other happy married couples on here!

I definitely feel lucky to have my husband! We've been together since I was a senior in high school but just recently got married. I can't imagine my life any other way! I know that no matter what happens in my life he will always be there to support me. I fall more and more in love with him everyday!!
