My husband and I have been talking alot lately. More than ever. It is so nice for a change to be able to speak out all my fears I have. It feels good. I hope we can continue to be happy.
How to stay happily married
How I did it: My hubby and I have talked so much about everything and nothing. I have become my husbands girlfriend now.
How I did it? I listen to Dr Laura a lot, and her advice are great. I also read some of her books, they are worth gold! I really recommend them.
Resources: All of Dr Lauras books.

I have been married for ten years and I want to stay married for many more.
Every day I realize what an extraordinary husband I have. I love him very much. We just had two kids (twins!) and I am more in love with him than ever.
yep, marriage is hard work. but i want to stay happily married. i know it’s not always going to be perfect sunny days because I’ve seen the storm clouds roll in many a time in the past ten years. BUT, i want to feel the butterflies in my stomach when he looks at me in that certain way.I want to grow old with the one that knows me so well that he can finish my sentences, know when i’m feeling under the weather and touch me like no one else can. it’s truly amazing even when it’s not going so great..it’s pretty damn close to perfect.
yes, we have split up several times but I think after the first 10 years it has gotten significantly better. The one thing I have learned is to stay busy. I have a full time job. My husband also works full time but he gets home early from work so he gets to take care of the kids for several hours before I get home. He has learned after taking on a ten year old, an 8 year old and a one year old..how hard laundry is…what gets on my 8 year old’s nerves and how to handle a messy baby. Kids make our lives interesting and wonderful. I believe without kids it’s hard to say you have experienced a marriage. Before we had kids we really didn’t know each other well at all.
I think the key to this is doing my Bible readings every day. It keeps me from being selfish. We’ve made it to our first year and past my serious depression and homesickness. I’m now planning on University here, I’m appreciating my current job, I’m getting on with the in-laws, and am finally past the point of wanting to go back home! I am now happily married : )
This basically comes down to getting more sleep so I don’t get catty and take stupid stuff out on him. I also have to encourage him to help me around the house and to keep things tidy instead of doing it all myself and then getting upset. He has a million things to do as well and has to deal with kids at school all day so I need to be nice to him all the time.
