Married for a second time
My first marriage was miserable. I had one daughter in that marriage. I divorced and was single for a few years before daring to risk it again.
I've now been married 21 years, and have been with Greg for 24. He's gone much of the time driving semi, so our time together is limited, which I suspect actually has helped us keep things together this long.  We're both very independent types who like our space but are totally loyal to each other. We have 2 adult kids together.Greg would like if I'd get my CDL and team drive with him, but I can't imagine the 2 of us living in a semi togeher. Too much togetherness would be a shock to our systems and probably the end of us!

I'm on my 3rd marriage and happy now.
 Third times a charm as they say right? My first marriage I don't count much. I was only 16. I don't regret it though because I was given a beautiful son who is now grown into a very mature man. My 2nd marriage, ugh. He sucked! But again don't regret it because I was given 2 other beautiful children. Both of which still have lots of maturity to go yet. But I have faith in them, LOL. My daughter who is 16 and my son who is 18. My 3rd (AND LAST) is to a awesome man who is such a special gift to me. I don't know what Id do without him ever.

I will be married 25 yrs. this May, it is both our first marriage. It has had its ups and downs along the way. No marriage is perfect you need to constanly work at it as a job. I went through a period where I was not happy and was ready to leave him, but he is stubborn and refused to acknowledge that I meant business. Low and behold I am still in the marriage it has gotten a bit better, I guess I was going through a phase. We did the marriage counseling but what happened was that year I broke a metasal bone in my foot and that actually brought us together he was there by my side helping me. Funny right.

I was married the first time for 7 years - UGH! BUT, I have a beautiful 30-year old daughter, for whom I am so grateful - and TWO beautiful granddaughters. My second husband and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary. He is my best friend and I am so lucky to be married to him. About 3 years ago, he developed heart failure (among other chronic illnesses) and had to suddenly and unexpectedly retire so he is home all the time now (I still work). I thought it would be hard having him home all the time, but I am so happy to have him with me now so much. His heart condition means that he will probably not live a long and healthy life, so we are trying to enjoy every moment that we have together. You just never know what life will throw at you!

Happily married......
I too wish that my husband would be more affectionate and more emotionally supportive, but he is wonderful. He is a great husband and and good dad. We have been married for 3 years. I think as we grow closer to our church and The Lord our relationship will grow. Now I just have to get him to go to church besides sunday mornings! But Hey! Thats a start!!
