re: Divorce Board Spin-Off: If you have been married, why did you get married?

quote:

---

I'm genuinely curious for the married folk why you got married.

I was thinking that I wanted to spend my life with my best friend and she says something similar. We wanted to go before God, family and friends to make this relationship permanent.

Looking back, do you think it was for the right reasons?

---

We think so.

And for the successfully married OTers, what do you feel like has made your marriage last?

---

Humor and a recognition that we are both seriously flawed people.
Rather than making demands for change, we enjoy and laugh about our imperfections.
We compliment each other - in both senses of that word.

But it has only been 4 decades, we might still figure out that we were wrong all along - someday...
