frick that.. why would you try a second time??? That's like smashing your dick in the door once and going "oh shite that sucked, let me try that again and see if it sucks the second time"

True, but identifying the right one isn’t so easy.

Almost 20yrs
The key is to find someone who you like to be around and do things with. I’m amazed by the amount of people who marry and don’t really like each other or being around each other, but get married cus he or she was hot or rich and then wonder why it don’t work out?!

10 years. Together for 15.
The secret is dont be a selfish prick. Marriage isnt about you as an individual

Been married 18 years.
1) Don't lie, don't cheat, don't hide money. Learn how to communicate with your wife. You don't always have to agree, but you need to learn how to tell her what's on your mind.
2) Never call your wife a name that you'll have to apologize for. They might forgive you, but they'll never forget what you called them.
3) Don't go to bed angry at each other. So much simpler to say you don't agree, but that you love her.
4) Always treat your wife with respect in front of other people. Especially your children.
5) Make big financial decisions together. Don't keep separate bank accounts.
If you can't do these simple things then you need to question whether you're really committed to each other.

22 years and six states of residence.
We were young and always far from family. Had to learn self-reliance and to depend on one another for everything.
No grandparents around or built-in daycare.
I guess it was a struggle early on, but we didn't know the difference. If it didn't break us, it was bound to make us stronger.

Yes. 35 years this summer. My only marriage.
Be friends then be lovers.
She comes first before family or friends.

6 years this upcoming November (2nd marriage)
Biggest key to success is something the first wife never understood. Understanding that a marriage is 2 individuals, each with their own values and views on life, and with their own friends. Disagreements happen. The key is being open to the other person's side and understanding that opposing views are not always a bad thing. Judging your own marriage against the posts of others on social media is a massive mistake, and I believe it's the number one reason for the amount of divorces we have out there. Wives and husbands see the bright and shiny posts on facebook, and think their marriage should be like that all the time.

6 years this year, dated for 2 years prior.
I’ve found that its really awesome to have 2 or 3 shared interests that you can do together, but that you both still need your own things to do independently.
Joint bank accounts and doing a budget together goes a long way in reducing financial stress on the marriage.
Above all else: pick your battles, apologize when you realize you're in the wrong, try your best not to be selfish, and have the awareness to understand that love is a commitment, not a “feeling”.
