04/13 Engaged Too Soon!

Quote From: k8yann

     What I don't get is why people live together for years on end before getting married, and then end up divorced not to long after they get married.  

     Marriage is a life time and weddings are one day. I think that if you put as much time into your marriage as you do into your wedding you can make it work.  

     I did get married quickly to my husband but I knew he was the one and we have great communication and do not let things get out of control. We know how to fight fair, we keep no secrets from eachother and we remain open minded to eachothers thoughts on the big and small things. 

     What is right for everyone is different and like Dr. Phil said "you can't always make the right decision, but you can make your decision right." 

     When you point your finger at others alway remember that you have 3 fingers pointed right back at you. 

I totally agree. My husband and I were married after dating for only like three or four months. We are in our early twenties (I just turned 21 in January and he will be 21 in July) but we knew that we were right for each other. For me there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. God lead us together and I know that no matter what happens I will always have him and he will always have me. You have to make a marriage work. My parents divorced after 20 years of marriage and they had dated for over eight months.  

  

Never judge a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes.

My realtionship with my husband moved pretty quick, we moved in together about four months after we met and got married a year later. 

We have always been honest with each other.  I have told him the truth when I would have looooooved to make up a nice lie.  We know each other inside out.  He can read me like a book, I can be thinking somethig and he will comment on what I am thinking about.   

In the three-plus years we have been together we have never raised our voices at one another.we have had a disagreement or "two" but we always discuss them like the adults that we are.  In order for a mariage to work you have to find someone that will tell you the truth even if it might hurt your feelings.

I thnk it's because marriage requires commitment.  When someone you're living with does something, there's always the possibility you could just move out.  When you're married, sometimes people feel stuck with the other person.  Yes, there is divorce, unfortunately too much of it, but moving out of a living arrangement is easier than a divorce.  I feel sorry for children in such relationships.

so, if you got married quickly, and you say it is ok, how long have you been married now?  After you got married, how did you deal with your conflicts?  HAve you learned how to live with each other's bad habits, or annoying behaviors?  If you can't do that, you will have a miserable marriage, if you decide to stay together!  I'm curious to know how long you have been married, so we can get some insight on your relationship.  I think that getting to know your partner is a vital part of having a healthy relationship!! What are you holding back from him because you don't feel comfortable with him yet?  Because I would think that may be an issue!   LIke when you first start dating somebody and you have a hard time eating while you are in front of him because you are nervous.  Did you have any issues like that?  Interested to know!
