But only one true love this lifetime that none of those things compare to.Remember this, married couples. And look forward to this, singles.And when you have it, don't take it for granted.

I totaly agree with you..What is tragic are the ones who fall inlove with our spouses and try and ruin it...As when you are married you are not looking for love we have it..Its those that dont just yet fall inlove with the ones who are not available anymore..People should respect married people if married people want to cheat than they should not of got married...You have a beautiful marriage I hope others just leave it alone and not ruin it for you...All the best...

Hi there. Yes, marriage is a great institution, that's for sure.
I have been married now for almost 26 years, and I wouldn't ever swap it for being single again.
As long as you keep the lines of communication open all the time, so you can both feel free to talk about anything and everything - big things and small - then you can't go wrong really.
It's also pretty important that you both have a certain amount of time apart (say once a week - for a couple of hours maximum), to pursue a few hobbies and interests of your own, to make your own individual life interesting and fun. Plus both of you having some friends of your own that you see on a regular basis - say once a week or fortnight. Friendships are also very important for both of you.
Having hobbies, interests and seeing friends, can breathe fresh air into your relationship with your wife and it keeps things in balance.
The more variety you can put into your own life, the more interesting you become as a result. It also gives you more to talk about with your wife. You will be happier when you have this balance.
Having balance is so important, and it puts you in a place of complete peace. And that's a really nice place to be.
And not to mention, you and your wife making your time together interesting as well. Doing some fun stuff together whenever you can. It doesn't have to cost much money, and again it's about the variety of life.
If you spend a lot of time at home just watching tv and never going out, well then you are both going to eventually get bored with that, for sure. Then resentment sets in.
We all need a sense of purpose in our lives, because it gives us a reason to get up in the morning and to look forward to starting our day.
Another important thing to do is to really listen to each other whenever you talk, no matter how trivial the matter might be. Talk face to face, sitting opposite each other - instead of shouting from opposite ends of the house. Good communication is so important.
Communication can either make or break a relationship.
