I thought it would be neat to see how long everyone on 4WT has been married. So, how long have YOU been married?

I've been married for 1 year and 2 months. :cool: So, I voted for 1-3 years.

My husband and I have been together for three years but we officially tied the knot in June. So I guess the answer is 3 months going on 10 years. We feel like we've been together forever.:)

We just celebrated 15 yrs of wedded bliss, but have been together for 20. I'm lucky because it just keeps getting better! Since we lived 'in sin' for 5 years before we made it official we got all of the BS out of the way early and knew exactly what we were getting into.

So my thoughts for you, Khristine, is that you know what you are getting into and life will be good!

So, here's a question for all you married ladies....is it true what they say, that the first year is the hardest? Or would you disagree? What are your secrets for a healthy relationship?

Definitely the hardest, but we didn't live together before getting married. In fact until we were married we were long distance & only saw each other on the weekends. We are both loners so living with someone was a system shock for both of us. At about 18 months we hit our stride & it's been pretty good sense.
My best advise is always take your spouses side when it is them against an outside person or thing. The two of you are a team & need to be a united front.

Oh, I DEFINATELY agree with this one. Hubby and I always talk about this, about how we are a team. Sometimes when we are in a silly mood, we'll say to each other, "We make a pretty good team!" :p :p :p

I don't think our first year was the hardest. Things went pretty well up until the 7th year. I think after awhile you have to re-adjust a little bit. Kind of like a new car, after so many miles or years, you have to have a little tune-up....:)

I do agree with that one. People change.

Janet, it can be a miserable thing too. I know that from my first one. It took me over 4 years to decide to try it again... Greg was proposing off and on for 3 of those. LOL

I haven't even dated in ten years. I am not very good at judging character so I just don't try. Even if I found a good one now I think I am to independent to try. I have seen a few really good marriages thow just not right for me.

I've been married for just over 6 months now! We love it! Although, it has been hard adjusting because I also moved 3,000 miles away from my "home" to be with my hubby (he is in the Army). God has been so good to us and has given us an incredible church "family" so WA is starting to feel a little more like "home" here lately!

Our 14th anniversary is coming up in July. We will have been together for 15 years tho. I think that our first 5 years were the worst and hardest. He was working for a company that required him to travel ALL the time. We got married on a Saturday at the preachers house with his wife and My granny being there. That was it. He had to leave Monday morning to go out of town. It was non constant and it took a very serious toll on our marriage. He found a new job that allowed him to stay home. Things slowly started to get better. We had to now adjust to the fact that he was home all the time. I guess we did something right. We have made it this far! lol

We've been together for 8 years, married for less then a year. I always knew he was a wonderful man, but never realized how wonderful than over the past 6 months as we've been undergoing fertility treatments - he has been my rock throughout this emotional roller coaster.
