There's lots of talk about marriage here on the Fire lately. Some good. Some great. And some not so good. You can't pick your family. But you CAN pick your spouse... How'd you do? Are you happily married?

Extremely.
Never enough time or money, but dang we sure love each other...To paraphrase Willie Nelson, loving her is the easiest thing I do. I really need to tell her that more often.
Not to say we don't fight, and we had to work hard at keeping it together in the early years, but it's all been worth it.

I got really lucky. We’ve been married over 35 years.

I get along fabulously with several of my wife's personalities. There's a couple of them that are a PITA.

A man can be made or broken by his choice of spouse and God blesses me immensely when He gave me my wife. We’ve been married for over 20 years and have 5 incredible kids, 1 great son in law, and one grandson.
Very grateful for my wife.

The first best thing in my life is being Saved by Jesus. The second best is my wife.

Been with my current for 43+ years and wish there was enough time on the clock of life to spend 43 more years together......I guess you could say I'm happily married.

I was married 11 years to high school sweetheart. We didn’t get along well, both quick tempered, both hold grudges. We are good friends now. She married a laid back guy 35 years ago. I married a laid back girl 33 years ago. She is an engineer, way smarter than me, easy to get along with as long as I take her dancing every other weekend and I don’t leave crap laying around she has to pick up.
I am happy!

40 years coming up, 43 together, first boyfriend/girlfriend for both of us and we just kept going from the start. We can piss the chit out of each other like no one else can and have in the past both been to stubborn to call it quits when we might have. There are some things I would change at certain points, more patience, less harsh words... but I wouldn't change her for another woman... though she's going to be pissed I left my dirty cloths on the floor this morning...

Very happily married here. The key to a good marriage is understanding marriage and women. I highly recommend this series of books. It's a 26 volume set. Very worth it in my opinion. [/img]

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

I honestly am. First marriage showed me how empty life feels when you're not loved. Twenty years into my second marriage, and I've never felt that for one day.

I out kicked my coverage with my choice of a wife and have been very blessed and happy since. She's much better than I deserve but she stays with me regardless. A wonderful mother, partner and lover. She's perfect.

1. Never tell everything that you know.
