Everybody thinks my marriage is going to fail?

I dont think it has anything to do with what happens with other family members.

That is up to you and your husband. Every person is different. You may come from a background that apparently doesn't train very well for marriage. That doesn't mean you have to follow their pattern. If you and your husband are committed to each other and work to nourish your relationship on a daily basis, then there is no reason why your marriage should fail. It is in the commitment you carry for each other. Do you cherish each other? Do you care for each others welfare? Do you strive to meet the other persons needs before meeting your own? Do you have similar values and goals in life? It is important that you are pulling together to achieve what you both want out of life. Finally, love each other. Focus on each other and do not allow yourselves to be distracted by other friendships. It is up to you. You can do it. Forget about your relatives problems and focus on your own relationship. It does take both parties working together to succeed.

Best wishes.

My wife and I married when I was 20 and she was 18. Many people didn't give us much chance for success, but we are pushing 50 years of marriage so far. When we got married, we realized that everything was not going to be ideal all the time. We realized there would be rough spots (there were), but we were committed to make things work. We jokingly said "divorce, never --- murder, maybe" :-)

If you are committed to making the marriage work, it will. If you start to consider that divorce looks like an easy way out, the marriage probably is in trouble. The choice is up to you. Good luck.

My marriage is fairly gratifying. No, marriage isn't for each man or woman. definite, my important different is the same man or woman he has continually been. Marriage is lot of paintings on the two human beings. a marriage in basic terms doesnt take place, that's created via 2 human beings. If some thing is going incorrect, you fix it and dont bypass down that course returned.

not at all

my family gave us two years until we divorced

we have been together for 25 years last March

you just have to be aware of the baggage you bring into the marriage and deal with it straight on, if you don't, that is when the trouble begins

Despite what other think and what they think they know, your family history is not about you but them.

You make your own fate, how you and your spouse conduct your lives in the relationship is all based on both of you.

I can tell you this, I would not ask them for relationship advice since they are not exactly experts under that area.

No it's only you two that can make it fail. There are tough times ahead of you and there will be plenty of ups and downs but don't give up.

no youre a totally different person than them, that doesent have to be your fate too

dont make it a self fulfilling prophecy, and youll be fine

YES 100%

The fact that you asked this shows it has already failed!
