LadyK2 If the 2 of you love each other and are willing to do whatever it takes to work through things and be a family again, then yes, of course it's worth it and very possible. It won't be easy, and you'll both have to work together and not let past hurts get in the...

What do you think about marriage? Is it still realistic today or is it outdated and unrealistic? What about the current statistics for marriage? Share your beliefs and ideas.

LadyK2 I am happily married to my husband - it is our first and what we hope is also our only marriage. I thought I was going to marry someone else, but luckily it didn't happen - I say luckily because I know it would have never lasted and been an unhappy union. My...

LadyK2 sure - I'm still friends with a few of my ex's and I have pics of them. One of them is even the god-father to one of my kids. I'm happily married and not interested in my ex's as anything other than friends, so it doesn't bother my hubby that I've remained...

LadyK2 My husband calls me several times a day just to check in, and at the end of the work day he calls and lets me know he's on his way home - or that he's running late or going out with friends. He's considerate enough to give me advanced notice of what's...

So I'm sure many of you know I have a daughter that is 11 weeks old. My friend from work offered to watch the baby tonight while my husband and I have an "us" night. Just go to the movies or rent one or just have time for us. Well...

LadyK2 My personal opinion? Next time someone offers to watch the baby, take them up on it - and don't tell him about it! Drop off the baby and go out for a night with the girls or just by yourself! If he can do it so can you! And when he gets home and finds you...

LadyK2 My husband and I know all about all our ex's - we were friends for 4 years before we started dating. We don't have a problem with it and even jokingly tease each other about various ones on occasion as we knew them ourselves. You have to feel secure in your...

LadyK2 My personal opinion - while I may not agree, it is not for me (or anyone else, honestly) to judge. What they do in their lives is something they have to live with - and as it doesn't affect anyone outside of their homes, what does it matter? Sorry - but I...

LadyK2 I've been there! You need to work on it Now before it gets worse. First, you need to fix your communication - maybe for 30 minutes a day you could set aside time for just the two of you to discuss the important things, and go from there. You also need to...

LadyK2 Me personally, I've known my husband's family for years and was told to call them mom and dad after just a short time of knowing my husband. Mind you he and I were just friends for a few years before we began dating, but I was still a part of the family. I've...

I often think about this. When you are in a long-term relationship after a while it seems that people don't find each other as attractive any more. They start seeking out the younger and hipper versions of their long term lovers....

LadyK2 I still see the sweet 17 y/o boy I met when I look at my husband. Don't get me wrong, I can see he has aged, and gained weight - as have I - but to me he will forever be 17. He's still taller than me, and he still has the strongest yet most gentle arms I've...

What differentiates marriage (aside from a legal document) from a long-term relationship where the couple lives together in a home they both own and have several children together?

LadyK2 Marriage - is a legal (government) term for a long-term relationship. If I had married my husband with no officiate, no witnesses - basically with no "proof" of our marriage - in a grove of trees, next to a serene lake and, with only nature and God watching,...
