I've been with my hubby for a little over 5 years. We've been married for 3.5 years. Its been a hard relationship since my ex likes to really butt in but in the long run our love for each other has grown more.
When we fight we always say love is never the issue its everything else!!

We've been together for 6 years. Actually it will "officially" be 6 years on May 13th but we tend to count the 2-3 months leading up to that because we had gotten to be very close friends during that time and knew we both had feeling for each other but didn't think it would be right to act on them. He WAS my (ex)husband's friend but after we separated I still stayed close to him and even lived with him for about a week while my ex moved his belongings out of our house.
It's been a long 6 years though and I'm not sure if I love him MORE. I love him differently but it isn't the same and things haven't been looking very good for us lately.

Thanks so much! Today was actually a good day. I know there's hope because I can't imagine life without him, I'm just struggling with "the life with him". But we both came into this with a lot of baggage and this is the longest relationship for both of us (well one of his was longer but by just a couple months now) so we're in unfamiliar territory and waiting for "the other shoe to drop" like it has in our pasts. I've heard that the best things in life are worth working hard for so I just keep telling myself that all this work is a good thing.

I'm sorry that things aren't going too well lately. Hopefully they will get better. I never thought marriage would be so much work. People told me that it wouldn't be easy, but didn't think it would be so challenging.
I wish you and your dh the bes and hope all works out - don't give up

My husband and I have been together 9 years and married for six of them. (it is our sixth wedding anniversary next in July.) I love him more everyday as well and we are happy and still have lots of fun together. We never go to sleep cross or upset with one another, we always talk and sort things out. I would do anything for him and I know it is the same for him. He helped me see that life really was worth living and has always made me feel good about who I am. He makes me laugh and can put a smile on my face 99.9% of the time. We are there for one another and take it turns being the strong one for the other to lean on. I always let me husband know how much I love and appreciate him and he does the same for me. We still leave little love notes around the house fo each other ( like in the sugar bowl, or in the cutlery draw.) We are one anothers life support. I am happy that you love your husband still and even more than the day you married him, it is a wonderful thing and I don't think it is at all weird. If people find it weird I expect they are jealous.

Well, we've gone to bed bad at each other, and it's not the best thing to do. We now try to settle things before we go to sleep, and it's still a work in progress, but it's getting there.
It's so great to hear when other couples are still leaving love notes for one another, or still do the 'courting' part of the early relationship, because we loose that sometimes, and that's what keeps the marriage alive and never boring.
Best of luck to you and your dh!

I've been married yet. But I have a boyfriend. Can it be called partner too? I've been with him almost 2 years. My friends didn't believe it. and I did neither. Because we are in long distance relationship. We chat only with SMS, phone, video call, or game online. And we've ever met only once!
I love him very much. Maybe it's also because I've already been together with him about 2 years.. And I hope I will be in his side as soon as possible.. ^^

that's what we call the magic of love. sounds weird when we say that we love them more today than yesterday, but it's just the same, that's true love. loving one person beyond expectation, beyond everything else in this world. feeling contented with what we have is one of the most wonderful feeling that a person could experience. hold on to that love that you feel for your husband and cherish every moment you spend with him and your family. God bless you.

I do cherish our moments together and i have to admit that it is true love. he is my inspiration, my beacon, my everything. I don't know where I would be without him today. I love spending time with him just doing nothing, and that's something special.
Thanks for your comment.

LOL WOW! within two weeks, now that's pretty intense. We were married within 7 months of getting together. Friends and family said the same thing to us, it will never work. But we proved them wrong, we've been together for 9 years and going strong.
Although, we did have our share of issues in the begining, but we're way over them now and right on track.

Let's see... when I was 25.. I met this nice guy.. Found out he was 18.. We were a couple for 2 1/2 years.. We ended up breaking off the relationship.. Then life happened and 18 years later I happened to be in a downtown Hartford spanish market and lo and behold.. heard the nickname he always called me.. I turned and there he was.. 40 yrs old.. We've been together now for the last 7 years.. I can't fathom my life without him in it.. He's my heart..
