I hear that's the object in negotiations, at least.

We fight. We don't fight very often, but have mini arguments during the week, and lots of make-up...on the weekends.<BR/><BR/>We are very happy most of the time, but I think a lot of that is because our lives are so busy, that the times we get to spend together we try to make count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-1141084859165111622006-02-27T17:00:00.000-07:002006-02-27T17:00:00.000-07:00I have been married for just over three happy year...I have been married for just over three happy years. Having a baby has definately made things interesting. I was a bit worried for a while. We just weren't getting along.

As an empty nester, marriage is the one thing you want to hang around the longest!<BR/>I wisely tell my chidren that you won't always get along, but you can get over that too.

I'd been in relationships - even engaged - before, and let me tell you - they were all HARD. Constant pushing and pulling from both parties. When I met my husband, though - we just fell into natural step together, and it's been easy ever since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-1141016384815207072006-02-26T21:59:00.000-07:002006-02-26T21:59:00.000-07:00Yah, it's hard work-if you want to keep it togethe...Yah, it's hard work-if you want to keep it together!

I wouldn't classify it as hard work... just learning the things that you REALLY care about and then letting them win on the things you don't. It's all compromise... with (hopefully) a lot of laughter.Heather Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814444108289873041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-1140967216610282772006-02-26T08:20:00.000-07:002006-02-26T08:20:00.000-07:00When kids come into the picture I think marriage b...When kids come into the picture I think marriage becomes a little work. You have to work on spending time together alone and work on agreeing how to raise your children. I think if you marry the right guy then you can do anything together.

I married mine. We've been together 7 years. I know it's not a lifetime but it's not hard work. It's not work at all except when we fight but we don't fight very often.

I've had one failed marriage that lasted 3 very long, hard years. But I've since remarried, and the same number of years into it, it still feels like we're newlyweds!
