    My husband and have been married for 21 years. I love him more now than ever! Last year I became critically ill and I was in a coma, on a ventilator, and multi organ failure. I was dying. My husband went against my family and did everything possible to save me and I survived. I ended up on dialysis for a year and ultimately heart surgery. My husband took care of me through multiple hospital stays, rehab stays, surgery, and trips to the dialysis center. I recovered enough to get off dialysis but I still may need a kidney transplant. For much of my ordeal, we were separated due to COVID restrictions. My husband did everything possible to keep me motivated to get back home to him! That is what love looks like! I am so blessed to have married such a wonderful person!

      So glad you had someone fighting for you. My wife had to do almost everything for me when I broke my back in two places 22 yrs ago. It took 5 surgeries including having an electronic spinal cord bypass implanted, and years of physical therapy, but I learned to walk again and she never complained to me once about all she had to do during those times. The love of a spouse is an amazing thing...
      I hope you eventually get the transplant you need 😇

      My parents were married 35 years before they died. Their marriage absolutely ruined me for dating. They had discussions, rarely argued other than bicker pokes, never said unkind words to each other, listened and changed to make each other comfortable, never made a threat or raised a hand. They were a loving team until they died. Its an example and upbringing I wish more people were blessed with.
      Sometimes we are the cruelest to those we are the closest to because we feel like they will still love us at our worst.

We laugh a lot, spend time together but not afraid to tell each other stuff that is bothering us, or at least I am not lol He is so easy going, nothing bothers him EVER or if it does he won't say (which I think is more accurate lol). It sometimes annoys me how he can let things go and not stress over it but I am thankful for it because I've gotten better about that too thanks to him.

      I still don't get short marriages. Most of the failed marriages I know about are because "someone changed." Nope, you didn't talk before you got married. Or the "we had a bad fight" excuse. Cool off and resolve the issues that are causing the fight. Couples fight. It's life. However. You're a team. My dad told me once, "What's more important, your car and the dent or your wife?" I said,"My wife." He the told me to get my a$# in front of my wife and apologize. I did, and it got a lot better. My dad's words made me realize that no matter what happened, my wife was what I truly cared about. We are doing great now that I have realigned my priorities.

  • @jonathan53356

    The farting thing is so true. When you're dating or newlyweds, you hold it in till it hurts. Now we just fart and giggle about it. Being married to someone you love is amazing. Our first year stunk. You have to figure out everything from money to toilet paper brand. Our first year was a constant learning experience. Now marriage is easy. We are still learning about each other, but we know how to both get what we want without hurting each other. Also, you learn how to make your wife happy, and you do things just to make her smile, which makes life awesome.

  • @debrahall709

    Well, after 45 years together, I have to admit we've learned to ask for what we want, learn disappointment at not getting it and just getting what we want for ourselves if we want it that badly. It's just a serious of compromises. We probably disagree a whole lot more than we did when we were first together. We have grown in different directions. We don't even sleep in the same bed (he snores LOUDLY and fidgets). We are old people in our 70's now and facing the prospects of leaving this earth without ever doing everything we dreamed of doing one day. That being said, we say I love you every day, can't imagine life without each other, best friends that always have each other's back and still hold hands and cuddle when watching tv together. Yep....relationships aren't easy, but nothing in life is. You have to really work at being successful at anything, but it's so worth it. Love you two. I hope I live another 30 years to see you guys get old together!

      Same. 40 years in January. Got married 3 months after we met. Had a baby 11 months later. We also sleep in separate rooms because he snores and has restless leg syndrome. But we love each other, farts and all and will be together forever. Zero doubts. It’s a fun ride. And now we are growing old together and dealing with whatever life throws our way. Because it’s better together. We’ve got each other’s backs, thru thick or thin. We made a promise 40 years ago and it still matters. I wish everyone could experience a long term marriage because it’s so special and comforting and it gives you a promise of a future at every age and every stage.

      Marriage is awesome and beautiful and God ordained marriage really is a thing to be celebrated and going into marriage, it really is important that you go in with the intention of staying with that person for the rest of your entire life. Just like life isn't perfect, marriage isn't perfect, but the perfection of marriage, is that man and wife gets through the imperfections *together* and work on it and _through_ it together.
      I can say that after having kids and having several relationships, and then being married once and being divorced.

    We started dating when I was 16, got married when I was 24. We never really went through a newly wed phase. I think it wouldve totally been like this if we met when we were older. But instead we grew into adults together. I miss the early days of our marriage, but I think we appreciate eachother more now. Long story short, I developed a progressively disabling disease at 30. So we’re living the in sickness and in health part earlier than most married couples.

I am my Wife’s 3 wife, and She says (about me) “3rd times the charm!” We are different in so many ways, but I agree with Kim; I absolutely love us now, from back in 2005. I am much more comfortable with myself, and especially helpful was finally getting the proper diagnoses of CAPD, ADHD, and autism, from a lifetime of being told I was bipolar. Not only do we now know more and more how to help me communicate and share life, but my confidence is through the roof. My Wife, (who is 11 years older than me) is still my Bestie, my partner in crime, and still my favorite person to be a goofy kid with. Life is beautiful. Even the dark moments. Staying grateful, it makes getting to a lovely spot so worth the hard work, sweat and tears! We love you guys. Thanks for being so real, and it makes us feel happy to know other couples are just as silly and enjoy life!

    The married parts... 😂🤣 that is so my marriage. The hair everywhere from him and me the pillow wall that's so me. It's a good thing we have enough of the silly newlywed stuff still going on to keep us still in love otherwise we'd probably drive each other to drink. Also, thanks to years of being together and being each other's best friend we are comfortable enough to do all the things that others find discussing but still love each other and we are able to be honest and yes ask for what we want and know that our partner knows that it's what we really mean instead of assuming that the other can read our minds. It's so much better when you grow together and understand one another. I highly recommend that.

    Been with my hubby almost 12 years and you hit the nail on the head with newly wed gas, snuggling, and cleaning up after another. 😆 Those were fun times! He still thinks I'm beautiful too. 🥰 Best part of being married a long time is finally training them to do everything THE RIGHT WAY 👍. Blanket stealing in bed has been dealt with by each person getting their own blanket aside from the community comforter to avoid midnight chills. Great video, very relatable! You guys are great and seem to have a wonderful marriage. Congrats on making it this far.

    I love your videos - and this one was so accurate! We're right at 2.5 years into marriage and have a 17 month old baby. Life really got rolling a lot quicker than we expected but we wouldn't change it. However, I have recently been really missing the care-free newlywed days when all we wanted was to be together and make each other happy. Being married has shown me how selfish and immature I can be and the work you have to do on yourself as a person (with God's help) is no joke. I really want to work on seeing the positives in our relationship again instead of dwelling on the negatives.
    Thank you for this. It was so incredibly encouraging to read through comment after comment of other people sharing how much better their marriages have become after years of hard work!

We just...know each other better. And we are doing more to care about each other and do for the other person instead of just thinking about ourselves and being disappointed when we don't get what we want. I guess we are less self-centered now and more "us" centered. Getting better and better!

There is no one I would go through life with other than my hubby. It's a shame that the younger generations have no interest in marriage because if you find that right someone, there really is no greater gift. Going through life's ups and downs knowing that person is on your side no matter what.

    Me now: "I do what I want. This is what I want to do. Lead, support, or get out of the way."
    Us, newlywed: "Let's cuddle!"
    Us, now: "I'm so tired, I can't even roll over to kiss you goodnight." So he says, "flop your hand over" and I do and he kisses it. Perfect.

The only differences ive noticed over the years are the body function noises (burps/farts/noisy nose blows) which i was never privy to during courtship days and we are less possessive of time spent together than before (at least ive gotten used to the workaholic in him and spend my time with my own interests when hes busy).

    Got married at 20 and have been married 7.5 years. We exited the newlywed stage pretty quick when life threw us a curve ball of a house fire after 5 months of being married. Going through something so major like that caused us to really grow in our relationship and cut straight to the tough stuff.
