Just felt that I'd like to start a thread for anyone that is happily married and madly in love with their DH/DP's! I wouldn't swap my DH for the world we've been together 13yrs have one DS age 6 and are in as much love now as ever! surely i'm not the only one who is happy?

Seacret to sucess= marry the right person at the right time if you possibly can. Have a big dollop of good luck in doing this

Me too

Heading for our 12th anniversary and working together as well as living together

We each have our faults - but they are part of who we are and each accepts the other

spidermama · 25/09/2005 19:51

We've been married for 16 years and though it's mostly great, it's utterly horrible at the moment.

Tortington · 25/09/2005 19:51

married 16 years

happy ....mostly!

burstingbug · 25/09/2005 19:52

Married for almost a year, been with him 2.9 years. We have a 7mth old ds. Am I happy? yes, more than I've ever been

happymerryberries · 25/09/2005 19:52

in 18 years we have had about 5 arguments.

I won those.

He has won every argument we never had!

JonesTheSteam · 25/09/2005 19:52

Very happy - been married 6 years and been together about 11 - we argue occasionally (but who doesn't!!), but he's a wonderful, kind, caring, gentle man, an excellent dad and I wouldn't swap him for the world!!!

BitMoreTaintedSaintGeorge · 25/09/2005 19:53

Married 16, together 17.

Some major traumas during that time that we have weathered together and that have doubtless made our relationship stronger.

Love him to bits.

brownbunny · 25/09/2005 19:53

Welshmum. We had fertility treatment too! think because you go through so much brings you closer together!
So many replies don't know who to speak to obviously lots of other loved up people in this world too!

Lonelymum · 25/09/2005 19:53

My dh and I have been together 15 years and married for 11. I can't say we don't have our difficulties but I wouldn't ever want to get divorced from him. Our difficulties mainly lie in the fact that our lives are so full of stress rather than any incompatibility or lack of love between us.

The secret of a successful relationship is, I think, to remember that there will be storms to weather as well as good times.

welshmum · 25/09/2005 19:54

Not running down the other in public - ever.
Trying not to go to sleep on an argument.
An element of daftness.
Trying for equality in the household/childcare duties.
Luck

welshmum · 25/09/2005 19:55

It brought us closer together bb it's true - bloody horrible though and I'm glad I'm not intending to do it again.

brownbunny · 25/09/2005 19:58

Well lets spread a little love! and give those not so lucky a few tips!

OP posts:
happymerryberries · 25/09/2005 20:00

welshmum.....so agree on the not sleeping on an argument thing. That would just make things fester.

Plus there have been times when dhs job has been so dangerous that he might not have come home at the end of the day (sounds over dramatic when you type it but it has been true on times)

NomDePlume · 25/09/2005 20:01

Add me please ! Known him for almost 5 years, married for just over 2 .

muppet73 · 25/09/2005 20:01

Welshmum knew our element of daftness was there for a purpose!
