Pro marriage and other long-term commitments

Personally, I'd like to hear what's going right with marriage. How long have you been married? What do you love about it? Why is it important to you? What do you do to keep it the relationship you want?

Thanks.

Peace,

daughter

I've been married for just over a year. But we knew each other and dated on/off for 10 years before we got married. I had bad experience with marriage before this one, and didn't know if I really wanted to do that again.

What I love most about my marriage is that I'm married to my best friend. I'm so impatient to get home every night, knowing that I get to spend time with my family. Home is my santuary...always happy and peaceful. Believe it or not, my spouse and I have never had an argument.

To keep our relationship special/happy? We realize that the other person is an individual, and that we do not own each other. We discuss issues as they come up without trying to place blame, etc..

Other than that, I don't know.....I guess I'm just lucky!
