To say that long term marriage

[Bluey124]

Can be easy, fun and that you can stay in love as much as you always were?
This forum can be so depressing at times. We married at 23, still together 14 years later and very happy. Many of our friends are the same and this isn't looking happy for social media either

It's like anything though - people turn to forums for help when there is an issue.

That's true - going to get a skewed outlook on here about relationships in general as people only ever tend to post if they're unhappy/being abused/suspected affairs or whatever!
Not all the rest happy with their lot, content and still happily in love - they've no need to seek advice or comfort.

We’ve been married 32 years. We still have loads of fun together and the romance is still alive and kicking.

There are loads of happy relationships in my family. Both sets of grandparents were married for over fifty years and utterly in love the whole time. My parents have been married for 29 years and are the happiest they've ever been (full disclosure, they both had brief marriages that ended in divorced before meeting each other). My aunt has been married 35 years, seems very happy.

Then in my generated, my sister has been with her now-husband for 18 years (though it took them 17 to get married), my brother has been married 10 years and I've been with my husband for 9 years.

19 years and still as good at it was at the start. Second time for us both. For me after 40 years on my own, so I do occasionally think “ wow”, but not in a as way.

Nice Thread.

20 years here. feels like we’re on a bit of an up atm after several tough years.

it’s not always easy,. In our case we grew apart as we got older and he had the freedom to persue his career while mine has been compromised due to maternity leave and part time working.

I’m optimistic we’ll get back on track though
