Quoted from SDTMinSTL:

Seen both sides. I married young in a knee jerk reaction and was divorced within a year (no kids). Swore I would never remarry because I didn't want to go through it again. She was a dispicable person.
I have been remarried for coming up on thirteen years to someone I could not live without. She makes me better, and that's not easy. She supports all of my ridiculous loves (pinball, cars etc) because they make me happy. It's how it should be, in my opinion. We have a son that is smarter than me, better looking and has his mom's huge heart. I wouldn't trade my life for anyone's.

Quoted from CLEllison:

I love to read happy stories. I "was" married 16 years to the most incredible woman to ever grace this earth. I could literally write a book about how life can beat the happiness out of anyone.
All I can say guys is make a moment just for her every chance you can. And above all remember what may feel petty and stupid to you means something to her. A woman can feel loved but if she doesn't feel respected it's only a matter of time and you'll lose her. Instead of playing pinball to have fun, you'll be playing it to forget even if for a brief moment.
