I was just wanting to see how many of us on here are happily married and how long you have been that way. I have been married for seven years last month. It hasn't always been happy, or rosey, or perfect, but it has for the most part been a wonderful marriage. I have been with my husband for over 8.5 years, we have two children, six and two.

I am married. I have been married almost 19 years. My husband and I were engaged for 4 years though, so we have actually been together for 23 years. We have three children, 2 boys and 1 girl. The oldest is 12 the youngest is 4. We are still quite happy, and still in love after all these years. Marriage is a constant work in progress, and you have to be willing to constantly work at it.

We have been married for 10 years now and have 2 girls. A 3 and 8 year old. Boy has it been rough. It has been rough and loving at the same time and I'm surprised he has stayed with me as long as he has. He is a very loving and aggravating man, but that is why I love him. We got married late in life and I'm glad I waited as long as I did or I wouldn't have found him.

I agree completly about the aggravation. My hubby is so freakin weird and annoying some times! But, I chose him so I'll live with it!!!

I'm happily married, but I'd still be considered a newlywed. We have been married for just over 1 month. My husband and I did everything backwards though. We've been together for over 4 years now. We have 3 children and they are 4 years old, 2 years old and 7 months old. It's just the way things worked out for us, but we are happy together and happy to finally be married. We've been through a lot since we started dating as well, and it's only made us stronger as a couple.

My wife and I were married 53 years on the 8th of this month. We raised 4 good boys and have 4 wonderful Grandkids. Life is what you make it! We have had a satisfactory relationship, and have been happy. When asked to define our relationship I usually say," Its a Life Term with no Parole, and no time off for Good Behavior."

That is awesome and hilarious. I figure if life was meant to be pleasant all the time then I'm for sure in the wrong place but we are ok. I am happy and look forward to celebrating those huge milestones like you have with my husband! Thank you.

Congrats! You made it that long. I really salute those couples who passed their years of marriage. I am married too, but not as long as you do. We are married for two months now. Sad that we are not together right now. We just got married at the 28th of July and he went back home last August 15. I envy those couples who were together now. I do believe there's no perfect relationship. The relaionship is not normal when there are no little misunderstandings sometimes. Hope ywe could reach until our golden anniversary :)

we've been married for 10 years, we have a 11-yr old daughter and a 9-yr old son.
we have lots of ups and downs, there came a point where in we were talking about separation. but as of now, with God's help, we're still together, and we're starting all over again. i just hope we'll stay this way, having a happy marriage.
