Hubby and I are going on 10 years also....Brother in law once told us the secret to a long happy marriage is honesty. Brother in law has been married for 30+ years and they are all they ever had, they started dating in 9th grade. Marriage is great....Mercury poison is a slow process, wonder how much money i can get from Starkist...Damn tuna diet. Snapped is a great show on oxygen network.

My heart goes out to you. The reason you do not understand marriage is in your statement. It is not in finding the person "Who can STAND you for better or worst". Oh No my dear, it is all in finding the person "Who can LOVE you for better or worst!"
I wish you well in finding the man who can love you and cherish you for the wonderful woman you are.Here's what is happening in my neck of the woods....

The only reason for marriage this day in age, is because they want kids. Other than that, there is no reason.... unfortunately, one cannot stick to the old school rules anymore, it seems 95 percent of the Americas are living in sin. 85 percent has diseases. Heres what you do, get an official stamp on everyone who is NOT infected with an STD and you make your own population, and get married to un infected people.

Single = freedom.. no stress, dependencies, get with a girl when you want to, do whatever the hell you want. No guilt from cheating or wanting to cheat, hang with your buddies, and total control of your life. Marriage can be great, but it's not for me anytime soon.

Oh my, You ask the hard questions don't you. lol
Well first off I was not always the choirboy I am now. I had my first experience with a woman after I was out of high school. After that experience, I tried my best to make up for lost time. Shall we say my preference then was for the kind of woman that had their reputation somewhat tarnished. The more tarnished all the better! (That Scarlet Letter thing sure would have been helpful. Ha! Ha!)
So, there I was thinking I was king of the world and enjoying the lusty ways of many an eager young comely lady when my grandmother stepped in and changed my life. She did not approve of my dating (fu*king) so many tarnished women (whores) and said that I should be dating a nice woman. Well in my arrogance, I stated to her that I would date the first nice (would not put out) girl I could find.
It just so happened that I was home visiting my parents and the next nice woman I ran across was a neighbor girl that I had grown up around. Keeping true to my word, I asked her out. We hit it off right away. She was an ugly duckling when she was young but had turned out to be an extremely good-looking and very sexy woman. I could not help myself and was smitten right away. I could not say it was love at first sight but lust was high on the list.
I knew I would fall for her with our first kiss. I had never felt a kiss like it before. I do not know what it was and I have spent years thinking about it but I cannot truly explain what happens when we touch. The only thing I can say is that it is like some kind of magic! I married my wife 362 days after our first date and I have never been with another women since. Now 25 years later it seems our love has carried us along like one long soft kiss.
You asked what has made our marriage last....
I guess it could be summed up by six words:
Love
Honesty
Commitment
Faithfulness
Trust
And Respect.
Each of these ingredients given in abundance to each other and to yourself makes for a solid foundation to a long and happy marriage. Break any one of these ingredients and your marriage will truly suffer.
Lastly, I want to pass along the best advice that was given to me about marriage. It was from my wife's Grandfather. He said, "Sometimes marriage is like sitting on a hot stove. You just have to learn to live with the blisters!" Truer words of wisdom were never said.Last edited by Brother Steel; 06-22-2008 at 01:24 PM.

All the ones that i know seem happy and their wives are working. One of my friend got a divorce last year though.
Find a woman with a job. It's like year 2008 women have jobs, all of my girl friends are working ( 3 of them even have higher salary than their hubby ), even those with kids. My mom was a housewife, but thats like a generation ago.
