For those of you that are on your first marriage, ten years or less, what is your opinion on it, good or bad?

For those of you on your first marriage, eleven years or more, what is your opinion on it, good or bad?

Update:

I am curious, as to how ones opinions on a first marriage changes after a decade, but, anyone on whatever marriage they are on, at any year are more than welcome to comment.

    Soon to celebrate 13 years and it is going great! I would do it over and over again.

    I am looking forward to the next 13 and 23 and 33 and 43 years of marriage too!

    Oh, having to clarify "first marriage." Classic.

    Anyway, yes, I'm in my "first marriage," and have been married 6 years. I'd give it a thumbs up:) We are still very happy. We have a nice home, good friends and family, great careers, and 5 of the best cats ever to grace the planet (or take up space on the bed).

    Can't speak for other people, but we are happy.

    I've been married about 20 years (first marriage)

    and it slowly but surely has gotten worse and worse

    over the years, I had lots of hope that things would

    get better, and I was committed to giving my kids

    a mom and a dad in the same home.

    now my marriage has dwindled down to a bad taste

    in my mouth, but I'm stuck, for now.

    we tried counseling, but the counselor met with me

    separately and told me that my husband is emotionally

    abusive and just basically has a toxic personality

    and he couldn't figure out why I hadn't left him already...

    Well...My first marriage didn't make it four weeks.

    My second didn't make it six years

    And my third one I am just now hitting 2 years..

    So maybe when I'm 70 and I'm too old to escape a marriage..I might be able to tell you what 10 years feels like...but my guess will probably be the same as it is now....HELL!

    I'm 2 1/2 years in and I think that he hid his abusive and erratic nature very well for a year and a half. Up until then, I thought it was great.

    It's interesting....sometimes I think we are fine and then sometimes I think we're not. I guess the first year is all about formulating rules and boundaries that you can both work with. Oh 6 months by the way.
