Seriously how the hell do you do it?
Would you have left if something huge happened (drugs/affair/etc) in your marriage? Or has it been smooth sailing?
Our marriage is our number 1 priority. We have had tough times. We work through them together. The good have far outweighed the bad. We have 30 yrs invested.
Those 3 words have made it possible for us to work through every obstacle that has been put in our way for over 18yrs.
So what's with the magic # of 15 years?? Just curious. My mom didnt' have an affair until after 25 years of marriage.

We're they able to work through it? (You don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable)
Because we took our marriage vows seriously and we knew going in it was NEVER going to be easy. I had been married 2 times before and they were pretty abusive. He on the other hand had never been married, but in just one really serious relationship.
If it is always smooth sailing then something is wrong in the relationship. It has not always been easy, because let me tell you from my point it would have been way easier to walk away than to stay and make it work. In our relationship there has never been drugs, affairs or antyhing like that. Yes if you 2 truly love each other you can really work through anything you have to be willing and you have to get to the root of why one did what they did.
Affairs and drugs can happen at any time in a relationship. You just have to remember that the grass is NEVER greener on the otherside and the moment you step over you can't go back to what was!
My magic number was 5 once I made it past the 5 year mark I knew I was in it for the long haul! :) We have been married for almost 19 years now....
They're still together at 30+ years. So I guess they worke don it. lol Anyway, so long as there is still breath in someone there will be issues. Just my opinion. Doesn't mean they have to be marriage ending.
