I am married for about 3 years now. I and my husband love each other but sometimes we argue or fight a lot. and i think that is this what a marriage is supposed to be? sometimes regret getting married. sometimes am happy about it. But as such overall i feel there needs to be more. So just wanted to know your experiences. Thanks!

To be honest with you, I have been married 3 times. This is my third marriage, and yes at times we have are disagreement and fights as well. The biggest thing when it come to marriage is, there is no "me" or "you" once you say "I do". It becomes an "us" and sometimes that is hard for a person to adjust too. Yes sometimes that can cause a marriage to fail. The biggest part to getting through a marriage is, just like any other relationship two important things "Trust" and "Communication". I did not have that in my last two marriages, and that is why they failed. I do not believe what you going through is what a marriage is suppose to be. I'm not Oprah or Dr.Phil. This is just my own option.

I've been married to my husband for just over four years now. We love each other very much, also...more than we ever dreamed was possible. We almost never fight, because we sat down before we were married and talked about a lot of things that we know can CAUSE arguments in relationships. We worked out things before they ever had a chance to be problems for us. In over four years, we have NEVER regretted getting married, and I hope that we never will. The things that I think are important to a loving marriage are communication, trust, honesty, and loyalty.
