Why do you think your marriage will beat the odds and last a lifetime? What makes your relationship special?
My answer....
Nothing is a guarantee in life. I truly hope and believe we will make it till the end. I think we've both been around the block and have learned a lot from past relationships that have failed. We both realize that a relationship needs constant tending or it will fizzle out and die. If neither person cares to put any effort into a relationship, then what's the point? Of all the relationships I've been in, ours has been the most effortless, but that doesn't mean we don't work at it. I also feel safe with him. When I'm not with him I feel incomplete. When he goes away for a few days, I can't imagine that being a lifetime away from him. I can barely fight with him because inevitably one of us will make the other laugh. Honestly, I think we'll make it because we know how to make each other smile and we know how to support one another. He wants me to succeed in life and not settle for anything but what's right for me. I want the same for him.

Think we will grow old together because we both have been in relationships which wasn't love and now that we have found it. We find it very hard to stay mad or to make the other cry. Since we started the week talking about sex and love. I will share our no. 1 rule. No matter how mad we are over what the other said, we do not take it into our bedroom. Since most saying are said in every place but in bed, we feel and and need to know we will be held and love in the morning. We can finish that discusion in the morning.

Re: QOTD 10/3
I personally believe you can get thru anything and that divorce is just an easy way out for people now-a-day. Marriage isn't easy and a lot of people just can't handle it. My brother is actually divorced now 3 years and his ex is a drug addict and alcoholic among other horrible things she did to herself and my brother and nephew. He's a single father and he was the one that tried to make it work. My point is that both people have to be in it for the long haul and be willing to give it everything they have. I've also grown up with parents who tell me divorce is never the answer and as much as the two of them want to kill each other, they always get through whatever comes their way, loving each other stronger in the end.
As for fh and I, we've already been thru ups and down living together and getting used to change together. When your love is tested, thats when you really see the other person for who they really are. I think we've been there before and will continue to be through out our lives but love and commitment (among other things) will keep us going. Also, fh and I like to say that we've taught each other so many valuable things and that's why we are so important to each other and will last. For instance, I've taught him about family and the values that have been instilled in me and that will help us in the future. I could go on longer but I won't lol. That's just my thoughts.

Re: QOTD 10/3
His parent's are divorced, mine have been married for 35 years and I can't see that ever changing. My mother became handicapped a few years back and my father has been there for her no matter what. I've always looked to them as role models when it comes to keeping a marriage together through thick and thin.

We will be together forever because for the first 4 years of us dating it was long distance without ever breaking up, he went to school in florida while i stayed in NY then moved to London for 6 months. We have been able to over come a lot of things while dating and know that this is it for us.

I think we are both stubborn and dont give up. So even if down the road we want to strangle one another...we'll probably stick with it. LOL. Sounds crazy, but I truly believe we will be together forever b/c neither is going to walk out. I just hope we always love each other as much pr more than we do now...and dont just stay together miserable : )
That is the exact way me and FH are and I feel like it will be the same with us
