Wow, there are some really sorry posters on this thread. Has no one been successful at love here?

Tuesday we celebrated our 25th anniversary. Our three kids are too young to throw us a party, so we had our champagne and crab legs at home. The kids are turning out great, even the two teenagers. They've added so much to our joy. We've been so blessed, and I can't remember when either of us stayed angry with the other for a whole day. It's no secret my husband adores us. When he's had a hard day he loves to come home where everyone races to the door to greet him, and where he could "relax in the bosom of his family." As for me, I'd never even be tempted to look elsewhere. Why would I?

I have a friend, who also has a successful, long term marriage. Her grandmother told her on her wedding day to give 75% of the effort required to keep her marriage happy. She does, and somehow her husband seems to want to do the same.

Marriage isn't about taking. It's about giving. That's why it's so worthwhile, when done right.

You, sir, are a real man. Wish there more single men out there with your mindset.
