Can a marriage be happy and long lasting if?

Good to see you're back !

I must agree with Sugar-Glider Queen.

It's a start... And at least, you communicate, don't you ?!

That completely depends on *how* you disagree on everything else. Do you argue endlessly? or do you disagree but discuss and compromise for each other?

My husband and I don't agree on everything .. seriously. We are extreme opposites -yet we do hold the same morals (no cheating, lying, drugs...). We don't even agree on what TV shows to watch. The thing is, I watch "The Dudesons in America" (or whatever it's called) with him and he watches "Grey's Anatomy" with me. Neither of us would watch the other show without each other, we just like to be together.

We didn't agree on when to have more kids even. I wanted them close in age, he wants to be financially secure (like a millionaire secure lol). Well life has a funny way of doing things. We had a surprise pregnancy right after our daughter turned 1.. then miscarriage a week later. We then decided to try for one right then. -and we had him (now age 2). Now I don't want more at all and he says "it wouldn't be the end of the world if we had another" -hint hint. I am okay with that. -The point is, whatever life brings we face it head on because we have each other.

The thing is, we don't argue about our differences that range from religious beliefs to how to fold and hang pants properly (lol -he is the pickier one). We just appreciate the differences in each other. With my husband and I there was no beginning. We went on our first date and that was it for us.. we were like we had been made for each other. We just fit.

So, it is all in how you handle your differences and even disagreements. It is all about compromise and communication.. and .. well - love. sometimes you give a little more, sometimes he gives a little more. when things go bad is when neither is willing to give at all.

YES! If by happy you mean miserable and long lasting means that each day feels like a lifetime.

u need to agree on fundamental things like, when to hav kids, priorities etc etc. small things can be overcome.

Yup! There are LOTS of marriages that are proof of that today...

Well, yes.

At least you agree about something ?

And, of course FANTASTIC sex.

Peace.

I guess that's a start :)

uhhhhh....this is a joke right?
