I stay with my husband because I love him dearly. We have been friends for along time. And we know and enjoy each other's company. We have a precious little girl who means the world to us. And I want us to be together always.

Hello Dominique. I stay in my relationship because I love my husband, he is a remendous man, he is adorable, he makes me happy every single day! He a great father, he take care of our son, teach him math when our son has problem with math, give advises to him,and work hard for us. And I do my best to please him too, he always says that couldnt ask for a better wife, because I have all what he wanted. We met in 2008 and have four month of marriage, and we are so happy.

I'm so happy for you. That is absolutely wonderful. Always continue to work hard at your marriage and don't give up. Hard times will come but as long as you can continue to have love and respect for one another you can make it through the difficult times. Keep your marriage a center part of your life. When people let other things crowd out their marriage that is when problems start. Have fun with each other and do things that you enjoy together and as a family. This will strengthen your marriage. Thanks so much for sharing.

I am sure it is love that keep any relationship intact. When there is no love at all, every relationship breaks. I understand it's not only love, but also respect,care,understanding and a lot more. But love alone can stand the test of time. have a good day jaiho®

I do agree that love is very important in all relationships. I do feel that a lot more is needed in order to keep that love alive. After a couple has been together for a while or the honeymoon phase there is real life, real stresses, and faults of our partner that may rub us the wrong way. It is up to us in order to make changes in ourselves to be happy and not be looking to our partner/spouse to always make us happy. When we have the right attitude it makes a huge difference. Have a wonderful day.

I'm happy for you. That is a great idea to use your mylot money towards your wedding. That would make taking time to mylot even better. Knowing that you are going to be using it for something very important. Keep your relationship strong and always be willing to take good advice when it comes to your marriage. Marriage really is hard work but it can bring a lot of happiness as well. Marriage is not all about the lovey dovey stuff that movies portray. But it can be a real genuine love for your spouse. Have a great day.

Same as you, I love my wife very much. Our marriage is already lasting more than 25 years, still not really veterans, but we do our best!

That is so wonderful to here. A lot of marriages are ending fast. There is so much stress and anxiety in our lives that greatly affect our marriages. I'm so happy to hear that you and your wife have been married that long. It is truly a great thing. And those of us who haven't been married 25 years can learn a lot from older couples and how they have stayed happy and in love.

Good to hear you're happy. There would be no other reason for me to stay in a relationship but love. We've been together with my girlfriend for 8 months now, and I'm happy being with her. Like you, I wish us to be always together.

I'm happy for you as well. Falling in love is such a wonderful thing. Staying in love is even better. Work hard to keep your relationship strong. We work hard at everything else we want to be successful in. We need to do the same in our relationship. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks so much. I hope the best for my family and others as well. It's not always an easy thing to do, to have a successful family life. But if all in the family are willing to work at it, it's a great help.

that's so nice to hear... my relationship with my man is not a perfect relationship, but what matters is that we make each other happy. Like you, we also have a beautiful baby girl who keeps us together. Whatever problems we may come across, we are sure that we'll be stronger as time passes and that we'll always have each other.
