It makes me sad when people say "don't marry for love, marry for money!" and moan and complain about their marriages. Yet somehow, same sex marriage will ruin the institution of marriage. Yeah, right. I think it's already done.

Polygamy is the glue holding our marriage together right now.

Alcohol is the only glue holding our marriage together right now.

If not for rum and the occasional bit of tequila, my marriage might not survive.

Having married in my mid-30s, with a well-paying professional career, education, interests and a hefty bank account, I can honestly say that all those articles about how women in that bracket come out the losers in marriage were absolutely correct. Absolutely, mindbogglingly correct.

Most people stay in unhappy marriages for the kids or money. I stay cause I'm all alone in the world with no family or solid friends and because I don't want to be a single mom. It's too scary.

I think part of why dh and I have a good marriage is because we the same personality about money. All of our accounts are shared. We're both cheapskates. On paydays we set aside money for the next 2 weeks of bills, we go grocery shopping for everything we need for our family of 5 for 2 weeks (I meal plan everything), we fill up both vehicles with gas and dh takes enough cash to fill his car up again, and we dump the rest in savings. Leaving nothing in the checking. Neither of us spends money unless it's a real need. Each of us would have a heart attack if the other just randomly spent $.

You tell the world on facebook how great your marriage is, and how happy you are to be pregnant. But how will your dh react when you have a bi racial baby, that is not his? I can't wait to see what happens. Thank you karrma. lol

headed to counseling next week. We want to improve our marriage and communication skills. There's no way I'll be divorcing him because we failed to communicate with one another.

It seems like it's unpopular these days, among my friends, to have a happy marriage with few complaints about your spouse. In my circle, every one gripes and moans about their husband. Mine? I have no complaints aside from the usual farting, leaving the toilet seat up, and putting empty boxes of cereal back in the cabinet.
