Abuse, adultery, addiction but even those aren't unpardonable to some.

One couple I knew were married very young and died in their 80's. For the last 20 years they sat together on the couch mostly but bickering on and on about everything in particular. When he died the wife stood by his casket still arguing with him, telling him maybe God would forgive him but she didn't know if she ever would but she missed him terribly and died a couple years after.

My husband's grandparents are the same way, they are in their 70s, lived together forever and bicker all the time. They remind me of Frank and Marie from "Everybody Loves Raymond".

My first one and only girlfriend from high school, went steady for 9 years throughout a long distance relationship while I went to the Navy for 4 years, and throughout college.

After I got my job post college, we got married. Got a kid within the first year, a mortgage, a miscarriage, 2nd kid 4 years later, and a surprise 3rd kid 9 years later.

Despite our many difference, we have many shared values. I think I have had a lot of personal growth; mainly learning to listen as well as communicating redical honesty. Learning to accept her flaws; as I learn to accept my own flaws.

There is always balance to priorities. There were times that commitment were questioned. Ultimately, we both understand that our marriage is each of our individual choice to be married with each other.

Talk about rough crowds, the only ones smiling round here and having a blast in life are the bikers in groves of Vrrooom Vrrooom!

Everyone else is rude in line at the store, disrespectful cashiers, and grumpy commuters.

I just want to get stupid, climb up the flag pole, possibly butt naked, and use a megaphone to tell the world to shut off the damn news, smile, and just FA-GHET-ABOUT-IT!

Oh Max's Mama I love this tread....

I've been with my husband a lifetime....I truly can't really imagine not being anything but his wife.

We not only love each other...we actually like each other. We allow each other to have our own opinions....let's just say we've canceled out each other's votes on numerous matters numerous time.

We love the fact that we can screw up and the other one will help us fix it.

We are so not into the looks.....I've held his hand during some really rough stuff and he's done the same for me.
I still get girly when he shows off for me.

It's not about control. When I see young marriages and hear talk of "she won't be allowed to do this or he won't be allowed to do that." I know it's not going to work.

He's my best friend and who wants to hurt their best friend?

I had to marry three times to get it right. I love my marriage. I love my life now. I love my husband, we respect each other. Never take each other for granted. Life can be wonderful with the right person.

That's the key, you have to choose the right partner Unfortunately, that is easier said than done for some people!
