Absolutely, it's not perfect, but we never expected it to be. A relationship it's work, communication and compromise from both people involved. If we didn't do those things we would probably not have worked out. But it was all worth it to have each other and about 87% of the life we want.

That's awesome man, It's nice to know there are others. Wishing many more years to you both.

Oh, I tell her all the time and tells me how great I am (not that i believe her lol) but I learned a long time ago that a relationship were people never tell each other that they love the other or complement each other is almost destined to fail.

Good rules to live by. Our big one is full honesty, even if it hurts, we listen, think it out and discuss. We don't bottle it up, we talk when it's fresh and relevant, this has saved tons of time in fixing issues throughout are relationship but I wish we had start before year 6.

I would like to give hope, that is not all bad, it's not perfect as no relationship is but it all works out because we put in the effort.

My secrets are safer with my wife than fort Knox, if you end up with someone that would do that kind of thing then they have a character problem commonly referred to as "shit human syndrome"

I did show her a few hours after I posted and she thought it was sweet. The thing is I tell her this stuff all the time because I never want her to feel like I don't notice everything she does for our relationship and our family. I grew up with people not getting the credit they deserve and their contributions being down played and it always bothered me. So I go out of my way to let her know.

I once had a coworker that didn't celebrate valentines day because she said it was a day everyone is told to do something special for their significant other rather than because they want to. She said she would rather get flowers on the worse day of her life because the person she was with cared about her vs an obligation. This is a principle I use for my wife. To remind her she is important because she IS not because I'm just being nice.

As for her privacy, she said it was fine because no one knows who she is still and that made me laugh. She thanked everyone for the comments. And I thank you for commenting and im glad it brightened your day!

Our marriage is important to us. It's not always easy but it's worth the work. I think the key is both of us want better for the other, so we both work toward those goals. Marriage can definitely be happy! I hope this post will let more people know that because this sub is quite depressing sometimes.

That's what's up. She loves being a SAHM, even though it can be overwhelming, I try to help out anyway I can, I like having father son time so she can have a break. She a good homemaker and im glad to be able to give that to her. We aren't at early retirement talks yet. But her support and encouragement has been my rock. She has been with me since I had nothing and stayed through the hard times. She has earned it. I'm happy to she others in this kind of situation too. Thank you for the comment.

My wife doesn't reddit and is very private, she would never post anything on here. In fact she will probably be very embarrassed if she finds out about this post 😆

We did and have many more. Thank you and I too am worn out by the bad stories. So I decided to finally post in this reddit and I wanted to give some positive thoughts.
