Sometimes we all need a nice little story like that.

m grandparents have been together for 60 years and are still in love, even though my gran nags and my grandad has todo most things cos she has a problem with her leg, you can still tell they love each other because of their respect for one another, and the way they act - its really sweet

I’ve been married for 15 years now. We are still very happy, and I contribute that to sick humor and violence and morals that are the same. No its true, we agree about how to raise our children, we agree about the treatment of eachothers family members and we box with soccer bobbers and play video games that allow us to shoot eachother in the head. we love each other very much, and I can respect a man who can take a punch :P

I have been married for almost 13yrs. I have a wonderful marriage. We have had financial ups and downs and have had to deal with judgments from from family. But there has never been any major problem between us. I just love him and trust him with all that I am. He has been there for me in all my personal struggles and I have been there for him. We support each other in our dreams and goals. We work out our differences of opinion with out judging each other. The more we go through together in life, the better it gets. I think our love is beautiful.

I think what stops us from getting bored is we always find new things that interest us. As individuals and as a couple. I love exploring my spirituality and going to church and classes. It is probably one of the last things he would enjoy doing. He enjoys drag races and cars. Something I would never do on my own. We both like to go camping and nature. So we each stay our own person but just share ourselves with each other. We do not try to force each other to be someone different then who we are.

Another thing. I do not look at the little things that drive some people crazy. Like he leaves his laundry on the floor. In the big picture how important is that? I always look at the big picture of what we have in terms of our love and our lives.

I hope this is what you were looking for when you posted.

It’s ironic, but I find myself wondering the same things that you do. The ratio of marriages that last to divorces is depressing. I, too, am a single female. But I do know plenty of relationships that last. I think, of course this is just my opinion, but the majority of relationships that fail are because they were not based on love in the first place. If a couple truly loves each other, they are capable of making it through all hardships. It is just a matter of finding that special someone that is willing to go through everything with you, and not quit.

my grandparents are also together for over 60 years and are so thoughtful and considerate of each other. they are very good people and i admire them.

i am actually in a very happy, loving marriage. i have only been married for a little over one year though so some people might consider us in “the honeymoon phase” still. however, we have weathered a lot of stresses (death of my Dad, problems with his parents, a change at his job where he was unexpectedly out of work - and had no income - for three months, serious health problems i had that we never expected — i was healthy when we got married - fraud/unethical behavior by our lender when we purchased a condo so we had to fire him last minute… and so much more)…. and we are still in love, if not moreso than ever. my husband writes me a love note every morning before he goes to work, every one is 1/2 page long and they are all beautiful, unique and sincere.

I guess its all about the people in question
some people are able to commit to things better than others. Sometimes things happen, say a death or a life threatening situation that make people realize things. i know when younger couples get married there isn’t a big chance of them staying together, i have seen it happen to a couple i know, the girl had a death in the family and that somehow made her realize she had her whole life to live and didn’t want to be tied down. But i believe when you find the right person and your mature enough to make the important, life-changing and binding decision of marriage it will all work out in the end.
Just gotta know how to pick em’!
If it’s meant to be, it will work out :-)
