Heh... my ex doesn't suck or anything... it just wasn't right and we were too young to realize it at the time (we'd been dating since we were 17). I knew my current wife before I married my ex, and I'm about 80% sure I coulda swiped her away from her then-fiance/now-ex had I been on the market back then. Hindsight is 20/20 and all, and we're both thankful we got the chance to correct our oversight from our younger days.

1. How long have you been married for?
2. Are you happily married?
3. If you could go back in time, would you still get married?
4. Is this your first marriage?
5. Any other info you want to share!

Thanks for playing!

Well this survey is pointless, everyone has a perfect marriage and got married just the right time. Why do you think this would backfire?

As far as "a couple is always happier when the man wants the woman more than the other way around" Mod cut: language

Good thread.

1) 3 years
2) Absolutely yes.
3) To my present wife, yes. Although... how I get married might be different! (Wow it was a lot of work)
4) Yes
5) What else is there to say? We have our moments to get through but who doesn't? We get through them because we love each other and want to get through them. 99% of the time, we are content, happy, in love, and moving forward.
