Keys to a good marriage….
Ok, I was no angel growing up. I made my mistakes with love and trust and relationships. All I did taught me everything I do not want in a marriage. It was hard to learn to trust someone enough to be myself. To be true to myself was very hard. I suffered sever depression for many years and though I battle it here and there now, I finally have a hold on my life in a positive way, I learned to love myself. I know a lot of married couples. I have to say more are not happy then are. I want to hear from people who are happy and how they live and love their husband or wife. I definitely have my eyes and mind open, life’s not always easy but at the same time I can not imagine my life without Chad. So send me your marriage advice!!!

It takes two people to make a marriage work and both my wife and I are at fault. It’s what we didn’t have that I want to point out. Real connection. Being around you and Chad has been good for me and seeing you two together and hanging out makes me happy. You two get along as people first and foremost and you treat other people kindly. You’ve seen me at my not-so-best, I make a lot of dumb jokes (I just can’t help it) and you’re still my friends. That started over a year ago and helped me rediscover the confidence I had lost in my marriage. Let’s just say my ex-wife didn’t have a great sense of humor. Fortunately, my girlfriend now does and I’ve never felt more totally at ease with someone. Be yourself no matter what and you’ll find happiness.
I agree with you…I know a lot of married couples, too, and more are not happy than are. I was one of them. And I know why. And you hit on it in your blog post.
You and Chad have connection and honesty. Isn’t that what love’s really about?
Mark Boyd added these pithy words on Feb 23 09 at 5:19 pmOn my response, I meant to say my ex-wife and I were at fault for our marriage failing (see my second sentence there). I tried to write my comment in between calls at work and I realized after I clicked the “Speak!” button that it didn’t make too much sense. You and Chad are wonderful people and all you need is to just keep being yourselves with each other. I believe that’s truly all it takes
