Throughout a marriage there is good times and hard times. But hopefully for the most part there is more good than bad. What things do you love about your marriage, your spouse? How do you work to strengthen that relationship.

When are home is a peaceful haven it really does make life and marriage wonderful. When we say and do nice things for one another it really shows how deeply we care for each other. I'm happy that your wife shows you so much love and helps you feel better when things perhaps are stressful at work. It makes a difference.

I agree little things like that add so much to our day and our life. I think it is good to do these things regularly. So many people are negative and self centered. That it's nice to be able to come home to a nice loving environment. It makes going to work and doing other things alright because we look forward to coming home.

Yes, I like the simple everyday things like the fact that there's someone who is interested in your day, someone to give you a hug, provide support and share a laugh with.

Hi Dominique, What I love about being married: 1) I feel complete, 2) I love the thought growing old with someone who shares what I love, 3) it gives my kids the feeling of security of having both parents together 4) I prefer doing things the legal way and that piece of paper(marriage contract) makes everything legal... I personally believe there are more benefits of being married than going thru life alone, but of course it differs from person to person. I've been married for 15 years now and I'm still loving it.

I agree with you that making everything legal is the best thing. It benefits the whole family and it really is security for the whole family. I'm so happy that you and your husband have been married for 15 years and that you both are still very happy. It is a great accomplishment to be married for such a long time and still be happy together. Marriage to the person that we love does provide us with security really in all areas. We are secure in the thoughts and feelings of needing and being loved. And our family has the security of knowing if anything happens to one or both of the parents that things have been taken care of. And it is a wonderful feeling growing older together and growing closer together as well.

The joy of knowing my husband loves me for who I am. That he's by my side through thick and thin. And him being sexy helps too.

Yes that is a great thing. It means so much when we see and feel that they love us. For who we are as an individual. Sometimes it may take us a while to realize and reflect on why they love, because we are at times hard on ourselves. I'm glad that he will be there for you. We do need support especially when we are going through rough spots in our life. Lol about the sexy part. Yeah that helps.

I love that no matter how horrible my day has been my husband will come home and cheer me up, whether its tells jokes or tickling me. He always knows exactly what to do to get me in a better mood and vice versa. I love that I can trust him whole heartedly. He is my soul mate and the one that God meant for me to be with. Half the time we can finish each others words. I think the best way to strengthen a relationship is to talk. You have to be able to communicate with your spouse in order for it to work. Its taken me 9 years to realize this. Talking about your feelings and problems is easier and better than holding everything in and waiting for it to explode one day

I'm so happy that you and your husband have this type of relationship. Most marriages do not. It is such a great wonderful thing when couples work hard to make each others day better. It makes coming home or staying home a joy. We are happy to do things for one another when we see how much our spouse cares for us. I strongly agree that communication is a vital key to a good marriage. And if we don't talk about things one day things will come out and perhaps not in the most kind way. So It's good to talk about it before we let things simmer.

It depends who will become your spouse if your spouse is your love one may be your relationship can be strengthen. its because i found in our place a married man and woman because of their parent like them to be married only so i dont think they love each other.

I couldn't imagine being forced to marry a particular person by my parents. It would be something I would be unhappy with from the start. But I would hope over time that the person I married that we would warm up to each other. It does make a difference how a person feels about getting married and why that affects their marriage.

I've been married now for six months and I love every minute...no every second of it. He's not my first husband but he'll be the last. What do I love about being married? Since I'm married to the right man it makes life so much better. I have someone I can wake up with in the mornings and spend those moments of waking up cuddling or talking about whatever comes to mind. It's not dealt with not wanting to talk or be with him. He gets up and starts getting ready for work with the clothes I've washed and put away for him. I love and care for him that much that his appearance is important. When it comes to making meals, there's not only myself that I need to think about (for when it was, it was always cheap cheap cheap no brainer meals) but him as well. He's a hard worker. When he comes home I want to make sure he's got a nice hot home cooked meal he'd be proud to boast about at work. When it comes to spending money on something not so trivial, I have to put him into consideration as well. How would he react to this and is this something we really need? But with all of these, the best thing about being married is knowing I'm the one he thinks about at work and I'm the one he comes home to. After that...the details are not needed...but let's just say he's a very happy man. =D ~Stjarntydarna

I'm glad that you are enjoying being newly married. Being married to the right person is definitely a good think. Being able to talk about what is important to us with the person we love is special.It is a good thing that you know what things are needed to buy and what things aren't. At times when a couple is newly married it can be hard to have that balance. Especially if you have extra money coming in.
