    • The secret is not abandoning your relationship when things get a little tough/ boring Sadly some men, and most women, check out at this stage because it actually requires effort to make a relationship work for many years. Talking upwards of 10 years. 80% of divorce rates are initiated by women too That’s just this generation now sadly. I feel like there’s a very small group of men and women who want monogamy and commitment but will rarely cross paths. Most people base relationships now on what the other person can do for THEM. When you should be basing it on that person’s character, personality and core values and beliefs. These are the things that will carry you long term. And don’t be afraid to have differences too

  • My husband and I were happily married for over 50 years, which does give me some qualifications to speak on the subject of lasting marriages. I think most people are too selfish to be half of a loving, lasting marriage. Instead of wondering what they bring to the table themselves, all they think about is "what can this person do for MEEEEE!". Also, if you select a life partner on looks or what kind of job they have, you are building a house on quicksand. Their character is much more important, because all the externals change over time. Maybe character doesn't give you that immediate "in love" feeling like instant physical attraction does, but it creates a lasting love, and makes you proud to share your life with someone. If you think I'm wrong about this, come back and state your case when you have completed 50 happy years with someone.

    • Lady, congratulations on your long innings. However I’m sorry to burst your bubble. I have seen many couples with long lasting marriages around me. It’s not really something uncommon either. Most of those couples are not ‘in love’ and never have been actually. They just know how to make a marriage last on paper for which they don’t really have to do anything if you think about it. Most people have limited options to start a new life past a certain age so all they need to do is just hang in there lol They are about as selfish or sometimes even more than some of the lifelong singles that I’ve met. That’s because they aren’t really able to be real and vulnerable with themselves or their partner but too much of a chicken to leave. It’s more of an arrangement for easy access to sex, companionship, security and social status. They just get used to that life and then romanticize to feel better about it. You’re lucky that yours was different as you say.. but most of the time it’s ‘love’ without true intimacy. I’d rather be single than have that.

  • My husband and I are happily married for 43 years. First marriage. If I could be so bold as to give advice: Marry someone that you truly like as a person. If you wake up one day and he’s broke or disfigured, does what’s inside him still make you feel warm? Life will bring so many ups and downs. But, one thing I can say with all honesty is he’s the best person I’ve ever met, and he brings out the best of me.

Mom was a virgin and only went on 2 dates prior to meeting my dad. Growing up was a dream, they never really argued...always were together there never was any curse words spoken ...ever in my house by anyone. They were faithful catholics...I couldn't eat at the dinner table unless I had a proper shirt on... I was blessed...I promised them I would always be for them when they were sick...I prayed to God to let me fulfill that promise.

  • I’m fifty five and have been married 32 years but met when we were 19 and have been together ever since. I wouldn’t say love is physical attraction as much as mutual respect and trust. Allow the other person to continue to grow and expand. Marriage isn’t easy. It requires work. And, remember, if you have a loving partner - the grass on the other side of the fence isn’t greener - it’s just different grass. I always think about this. I’m not sure if it means anything to anyone else but it just reminds me of the value of what I have right in front of me.

I had approached her several times and she finally agreed to date me in December and all of our dates were chaperoned (no kissing, hand holding, nothing). I asked her to marry me in February and we were married in May which was over 37 years ago.

  • Love is an involuntary response to virtue, so to be in love you need to be virtuous. I've known my wife for 51 years and we've been together since she was 19. (34 years) My advice is.... 1. Don't have sex until you have established you are right for each other. Sex can create a false bond and you are then involved before you really know the person. 2. Discuss your values and what you want from life ahead of time - Kids (How you are going to parent - peacefully hopefully) etc. 3. Don't ignore any red flags. Address them immediately they come up and before you commit. 4. Take your vows 100% seriously. Once you are in it, it's forever, no matter what. 5. Keep fit and don't let yourself get overweight. You owe it to your partner to remain attractive. 6. Never stop working on self-knowledge and talk about everything. 7. Read the book (or listen to the audio book) 'Real Time Relationships - The logic of love.' 8. Don't be promiscuous before finding the right person. The higher your body count, the less likely your marriage will succeed. 9. Have kids young. Female fertility declines very rapidly. 10. Defend your partner in every situation, no matter what. Those who do these things have a very high chance of a successful marriage. Hope that helps.

    • 5 and 8 are ridiculous, but everything else makes sense yes. I love people for who they are inside, physical appearance is ridiculous and changes with time. The body count thing, its not really an issue, its may be a sign of a red flag early in relationships but if you reach the point of marriage, having already built that commitment, trust and loyalty etc it shouldn’t matter. I have a massive body count because when single I don’t hesitate to hook up, but i’m still a very compassionate, honest and loyal person who has no issues being wholesome. What matters isn’t the body count before a relationship, what matters is the individual’s ability to control themselves and commit. I stoped hoeing around just because, while I could commit and be loyal and a proper wife, The world never saw me that way or gave me a chance. Until one man did and all of a sudden everyone was shocked that I’m actually a good loyal partner - when everyone thought I would be disloyal and cheat. Someone who liked me but didn’t pursue me because “im a hoe” - someone I liked too - even tried to get with me after seeing how I change when dating someone and i found it hilarious because, no chances were given to him, I already found my love and am committed to him. When it comes to high body count, people need to let go of their hang ups and look past their misconceptions and biases

  • For what you said about approaching an attractive woman, I have a story: When I was young, around 12-13, there was a girl that I liked that, after having known, at least "of", her for years I finally worked up the nerve to approach her and tell her that I liked her. She ripped me apart. It was as if she took my heart, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it like it was a cockroach. She told me things like how to her it's ridiculous that anyone could love me at all. In the end, another kid in our class walked up to her and said, "Is this guy bothering you? Let me steal you for a second. Sorry, some guys just don't get it." I went home, and I cried. I cried my eyes out. This was back in the year 2000. It was years before I could ever be that vulnerable with anyone again, and in some ways, let's just say I always prefer to tiptoe into swimming pools now rather than just cannonballing into them. That said though, I am married now. Our marriage isn't perfect and certainly has its issues, but we manage. There isn't anyone else in the whole world I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. When we first got together, I remember many people my age hinting that I could probably do better. I never responded as I probably ought to have, but if I could go back, I would tell them, "She's human. I'm human. She makes me happy, and I her. She isn't crazy, or superficial, or vane. She's smart. In a lot of ways, she's smarter than me. Even if I could, there's no point in finding someone better. She's as close to perfect as I want her to be."

  • This channel is always a refreshing break from the fatalism of so many others spearheaded by "kids today" (I jest; I'm much older than this enterprising young man). I have to say, though, after plenty of dating in the pre-internet age, I met my wife online and we've been happily married for over a decade. Meeting that way CAN be done--it's not necessarily how you meet, but everything that comes after that's important. I have to agree with the stylish woman in the sunglasses: A successful marriage is, in part, about caring for the other person while giving them space to be themselves and getting the same in return. Well before she met me, my wife knew exactly who she was; she was and is the queen of her universe. I can add to that. I can be supportive of that. But there's no expectation to "make" her happy, because she already did that for herself a long time ago. On the other hand, it took me nearly 30 of my 46 years to find myself, changing my career, health goals, etc., and finally arriving at a happy place that keeps evolving. She's been very helpful with that, and yet, it's not her job to make me a whole person. That's what I would add to this conversation: For a good marriage, love. Live. Don't try to "fix" your partner, they're not a project. And regard them not as someone who's there to complete you, but rather as a guide on the journey that you're both taking together.

    • What you say about "don't fix their partner" is easy when your partner is not crazy like in having an erratic behavior or doesn't deny physical intimacy regularly. There are some compatibilites needed in order for a relationship to work. And it can work if people willingly solve out their differences and accept them and try to be better for the other one. Nowone can be human, imperfect, not give a damn and still be in a relationship.

  • "To find love in a world that is increasingly complex, turn to the basics. Find things that you love to do and do them. Hang out with people that you like to hang out with and cherish them. Travel to places that you've always wanted to travel to and enjoy them. Fall in love with who you are and never stop. And throughout all of this, keep your eyes peeled. Start conversations, and don't be afraid of rejection. If you do all of these things, you won't find love; love will find you." ❤️ I believe this

  • I've been married for 22 years and all I can tell you is that life has been a roller-coaster for me, but someone has constantly been sitting on the next seat, sometimes not fully understanding what was going on or not fully agreeing on how to raise our children, but neither has ever wanted to throw the other person out of the carriage knowing that that option would have had a much worse result! Life isn't perfect, I'm not perfect and my husband isn't either, but we stick it out together and mostly enjoy our ride! Sorry, but I've always believed that the very notion of romantic love is a trap!

  • If morals matter to you, then you need to find a person where morals matter to them. My first husband did not have a good example of long lasting love shown to him by his parents, but my parents were as much in love on the day my mother died as they were when they met, when my mum was just 14 (married at 19). Morals = trust I have found and trust, love and respect are the three most important ingredients. Also it is very important that you both want roughly the same things out of life. My first husband had no drive and he resented me wanting anything. My husband now of 38 years is my best friend, soul mate and lover.

  • The key to a lasting marriage is the acceptance of your partner. It's equally important to view yourself and your signifikant other as a unit, as " us".Without the willingness to sacrifice what is necessary to sacrifice for the relationship on both parts there's no marriage, therefore no future. It's not your money, it's our money. Their 're not your children, they're our children, and so on. You have to give to receive. There's no equality. The power- balance is shifting, and if you're not ready to accept that love is a battelfield, stay single.Then, there's peace and harmony. That won't last. But it comes back.😊

  • Each person's journey is unique and can't be replicated exactly. We all have our own set of experiences, successes, and failures that shape who we are and what we can achieve. While we can learn from others and gain insights from their stories, ultimately, it's our own actions and decisions that determine our path. Embracing our individual experiences, both positive and negative, can help us grow and navigate our own paths toward success.

  • Very well said with plenty of great recommendations and life learning lessons from actual couples who have lived, learned, and gone through all of it themselves. I would say one of thy most important things someone can do, other than what these different awesome couples have suggested which is great advice, is each individual person needs to learn to feel and be 100% happy with themselves, their life, their environment, and their situation and love and believe in themselves first and foremost. If you do not learn this and how to be okay with yourself alone, you will not find someone out of real love, you will find someone out of desperation to not be alone, to include you will end up putting a lot of unneeded stress and pressure on your partner, like threatening suicide if they attempt to leave, because you are unhappy with yourself and your so desperate not to lose your partner. That is a very scary and unhealthy relationship dynamic and unfortunately I've seen and dealt with these types of horrible relationship couples and they are not pleasant to be around or put up with. You have to learn to be happy and okay being single and alone and once you master loving yourself and feeling 100% complete without a partner, then you are truly ready to have and create standards of what your wanting and looking for in a true partner. Hopefully they are on the same level as you, or pretty close, and so if your 100% and they are 100%, then together you enhance one another to 200% and if things ever end because they don't workout, then by ending the relationship and separating, you should both still be 100% on your own, this is the key!
