This might totally backfire on me - but we always get people on here saying that marriage is dead or that nobody stays married anymore. And we get a lot of people talking about how we never have any threads about happy marriages (well, we do, but they die a quiet death). So, I thought I'd do a little marriage survey and hope that we see some happily married people!

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!

1. 3 years
2. Happy- yes!
3. Yes, marriage was one of the best things that happened to me.
4. Yep first marriage.
5. Marriage is wonderful and really makes an individual a better person when done right. Take criticism and grow from it! Build your spouse up and help them become better. Grow and become better together. It's a lovely process.

We started dating our freshman year in college and been together ever since. Valentines day in 2015 will be our 21st year together. I don't know why people make marriage more complicated than it really is. It's not that difficult. My wife and I are two simple people, in a simple marriage. We don't make things more complicated than it really is.
