How many of you in my lot are married?Are you happy?

Yha all are happy. Otherwise no reason to remain togather.

I've been married for 12 years but been with him for 16 years and all I can say is that you NEVER know what "marriage" will bring you. (I'll use the word "marriage" for "life partner") Some marriages are wonderful at the beginning but then there are events that happen in your life when you TRULY find out if the one you married is the right person. It's HOW you react and get through the major events in your life that help you decide if indeed it was the right move. Unfortunately, none of us can see into the future, so if you are thinking about getting married to someone - make sure above ALL ELSE you can TALK to each other because when all the sparks diminish, and life beats you down into nothing - you still have each other to bounce off of. There is nothing better than having a partner who can sit with you for hours and talk about nothing or everything. Marriage is WORK. It's funny we are so willing to put in 40 hours a week to make someone else rich - but yet when it comes down to our own lives - we give it the least bit of attention. Some Marriages have wonderful beginnings and then both partners grow at different speeds - and eventually end up getting in each other's way to accomplish things in life. Some marriages have a very bad start but then the bad start actually makes their bond stronger and they end up staying together for ever. One thing you must always remember - if your marriage is in trouble and you think having a child will help it - DONT DO IT. Not only is it selfish to the child - but its selfish for you because having children brings a lot of pressure to the household so if your marriage is not stable before having kids - you can only imagine how chaotic it will be after children. A marriage is always 2 individuals coming together - sometimes 1 individual wants to stay an individual and sometimes the other one wants to do everything together - and that can cause conflict. But if you marry a talker - in my opinion - you'll be fine :)

i am single .

I was married...Now I am happy...got married early that's why...now I can choose who to marry...

I have been married for six years going on seven and it has it ups and downs, but mostly more ups. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't met my hubby! he got me out of a previous bad relationship and I'm so happy that he was there for me at that time. We have a wonderful son who is now four years of age and has made our life more happier.

I am married and have been now for 23 years. we have had our ups and downs but are very close. Between us we have 7 chlildren all raised now. His (4) mine (2) and one together. I can't say that there haven't been times that I have felt that I could have done differntly but over all it has been good and I am very happy with my relationship.

I have been married for 4 yrs now, we've been together for almost 9 and yes I am very happy with him..Our marriage isnt conventional by any means but I truly think that is the key to why its worked...
