so was thinking today how people make marriges work? my parrents have been married for 37 years and my mom was the first woman that my dad dated. I have one brother and one sister for some reason unknown to us we all married the first person we dated. now all devorced. well I am in the process. anyways how did it work for them and not any of us. just thinking.
they make it work, if they "BOTH", want to make it work...
they ride over the bumps together slowly, and appreciate the smooth roads...
They are business partners, they know thier roles, they have strong minds, and hearts..... They are humble, they appreciate each other. They are blessed...

Decades ago it was not so easy or common to get a divorce so some couples had no option to "make it work" seemingly on the outside at least
My Mam and Dad where married for 44yrs, doesnt mean either of them was happy though, I never remember a kind word being exchanged between them it was more a case of 'you have made your bed now lie in it'

Hi Zell, i agree the choices were not there, divorces was considered unacceptable

Hi Morgan Yes, my mother was stuck in an abusive marriage for 39 years which only ended when my father died. I also remember many of her friends kind of stuck in similarly long sad marriages

Seems when we were younger divorce was not an option. Today it is called short term gratification. If the first argument does not go their way, their out. No communication.So many things have been said as to why marriages don't work, but it does however take two to tango and to make it work.
