Wow, that really sums it up.
Today's disposable society needs some fixing.

Amen, and Amen! It'll be 38 years for us in December. I won't say it's been easy, but few things worthwhile ever are. It takes work and compromise. She works and I compromise! LOL!
That last part was a joke, BTW!

Just a "rookie" at 28 years. Blessings and good thoughts to those who have the desire to make it work.

While this is a neat photo and the caption says a lot, remember that there are some spouses out there that cannot be fixed.
It is still illegal to beat someone over the head with a baseball bat and that is the only way to fix some of the physical abusers.

Sometimes a marriage just can't be saved. Not just physical abusers but serial adulterers are also on the list. Having been with one and being forced to leave because of it gives me a lot more respect for couples that manage to stay together without that kind of thing happening.
Having been married to my first wife (she is also on her first husband) for 50 years I agree with the sentiment. If it broke (and it did more than once) we fixed it. But, you have to want to fix it - it won't fix itself. While there are some people too abusive to be married, no one will ever convince me that more than 50% of the marriages have such a partner. Most divorces I'm familiar with were due to trivial and transient reasons.

19 years with my only wife...wouldn't change a thing. For better or worse means just that. I'd hate to think of going through the life we've had and the rest to come without my sweetie...just hope I stay a good man...she deserves a lot better than me. A secret for you younger guys out there...I always get the last word in our house..."Yes Dear"

The till death do us part was my goal with my first wife. We both agreed before we got married as we came from broken homes. She forgot that part 19 yrs in and exited stage left. I remarried and the 21st was 14 yrs. Commitment is key IMO.
