I have 2 guys probably your age that have been mentoring me and we meet regularly. Marriage was always pretty good but it's been incredible the last 6 months since I started putting additional (and intentional) effort into other aspects of my marriage.
It takes two to make it work.
Congrats OP.
Married for 33 years.

If anyone gets married thinking marriage is just about how you feel and being happy with unicorn bubbles coming out your butt, then they probably shouldn't get married until they do get it. It's called GIVING, and LOVING without regard to the other returning it, and when you do, you will receive as well. Today however, I think many people are wanting to receive first before they give. It's bass ackwards. You make a commitment, not an agreement that if everything is warm and fuzzy. It's a real generational issue here that's fueled by FEELINGS rather than hard work, which is what it's about. It's all about feelings today...
...taken from another marriage thread on this board. I thought this guy was spot on with his analysis.
So totally agree with this ...

Congratulations to you and the others in this thread who have made your wedding vows work for many years.
forever, best wishes on your marriage. You must be freezing your arse off in Chicago. I wondered how you did on your trip during the storm.
One of the biggest failures in my life is the fact that I was not able to make marriage work. I take my share of the blame for failed relationships, but I am truly jealous of those who go through trying times; come out the other end; and get to look back on their struggles with the satisfaction of knowing that each worked hard to make it work.
Time for me to head to the courthouse. My best to all of you!

well no shite. Marriage almost always benefits the woman. Women have everything to gain and men have everything to lose by getting married.
OP is a smart woman....

Iona I'm not in Chicago ... although a friend IS trying to talk me into running the marathon there in October!! I'm in South Louisiana and the ice is now gone.
And I don't necessarily see it as failure ... sometimes things just don't work despite hard work. I was mainly posting for those that are way cynical and haven't even been married. And to give "hope" to those who have skewed views. And I take my share of blame for the issues that we have had ... it was usually my fault!
Have a great day Iona!

That's been my philosophy on marriage also. When I point the finger at my wife, there are always three of my fingers pointing back at me.
We both wear our emotions on our sleeve. We will have a flash up and then it's over. We committed long ago to never go to bed angry with one another. That's been a great help in helping us overcome pitfalls in our marriage.
