15 Reasons My Marriage Lasts 15 Years

My wife and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this month. Sometimes we wonder where time has gone. Although I started dating in high school, it didn’t seem that long. But we’ve actually been married for 15 years.

Like many people, our marriage has experienced many ups and downs. We have been tested in many areas, but here we congratulate 15 years. Because of our alliance, we have three children. We both learned a lot. When I reflect on our relationship, I see at least 15 things that will help us stay married. These 15 things will help you consolidate your marriage.

1. Solid foundation.

Large buildings are built on deep foundations. On the contrary, buildings with weak foundations will be broken. My marriage is long because we have laid a solid foundation.

2. Agreement.

Before marriage, I didn’t promise anything, or at least no one. Marrying my wife is the biggest commitment I have ever made, and the only real commitment in a relationship. This commitment not only makes our marriage lasting, but also our commitment to serve each other.

3. Lifelong learning.

We still understand each other. Become a lifelong learner of your wife, and your marriage will not be boring. She is changing, so are you. Never stop learning, because you always have to learn something new.

4. Never give up on the other party.

I made many mistakes in my marriage, from disrupting our finances to losing our jobs and families, failing businesses, and poor communicators. My wife never gave up on our marriage. “She also made many mistakes, and I never gave up on her.” I promise that we will never give up, never divorce, and we have been trying to become closer and better.

5. Solve problems quickly.

We’ve done things that hurt each other. We have all done something that has caused some damage to our relationship and even to our families. To help us is to solve these problems. The sooner we solve the problem, the better. Don’t make your problem worse. In love, deal with them with your spouse.

6. Choose happiness and look for beauty.

Choosing happiness and looking for beauty in your marriage is one of the best things you can do. Recently, many negative things have happened in the world. Some negative things will happen in your life. I have noticed that the more I focus on negative things and let them control my feelings and emotions, the greater the harm to my wife, children and others. Choosing happiness and looking for beauty in your marriage is one of the best things you can do.

7. It is not an island.

Marriage can be difficult. It’s too difficult. I don’t want you to do it alone. No matter good or bad, it can not become an island in marriage. To help us, we contacted other couples and more experienced married couples in the form of groups. They are the source that supports us to gain more insight and perspective. Without this relationship, our marriage would be seriously challenged, and we might not be here even today.

8. Have fun together.

We are used to marriage and family life seems to be a career; calendar, calendar, things to do, etc. Enjoy each other and find interesting things they like. Dating is important in this respect. When we don’t date, we miss some entertainment opportunities. Try to have fun with your wife.

9. Make love!

I think I can let it sit there. Do you want to add anything else? God has given us a beautiful sexual gift to enjoy in our marriage. Those who use this gift in marriage are moving towards a long marriage.

Raising children.

Our greatest happiness is because of our three children. Of course, sometimes their behaviors and choices seem to be the biggest source of our frustration. But we will never trade anything. Whether born or adopted, raising children together is an amazing experience. I like it very much. I love my wife more when I see her interacting, teaching, teaching and loving them.

Let’s pray together.

This can be traced back to my first, that is, there is a solid foundation. Our foundation is based on our faith in Jesus Christ. No matter how different our opinions are, we will return to our faith. Praying together is part of it. Praying together is one of the most intimate things a couple can do. Without it, I don’t know what our marriage would be like today. Today, please feel free to share these 10 mother prayers with your wife.

Laugh together.

I like to think I have a good sense of humor. My wife seems to be too. Sometimes she will laugh at my jokes. Laughing is like medicine in our marriage.

13. We pursue better.

Our marriage is not perfect and will never be perfect. But at the beginning of our marriage, we found that our marriage can always be improved. Through consultation, reading and guidance, we can grow into human beings and couples.

14. Leave regularly.

Every June, we stay away from everything and attend the wedding dance on the weekend. It makes people refreshing and rejuvenated. We need it. Sometimes we just want to break the rules. This kind of break is better when we learn how to better establish a husband and wife relationship.

15. We choose love, although it is not always so lovely.

I am not always cute, nor my wife. But we already know that love is not just a feeling or feeling, nor does it depend on what the other person has done or has not done. We choose love and practice through patience, kindness, tolerance, gentleness and selflessness.

I am proud that we have been married for 15 years. I look forward to the next 15 years or more. Sustaining your marriage will be your priority. I hope this post can give you a gold nugget or two. You can apply for the continuous and substantial marriage you want.

The question of solidarity

Squeeze together with your wife and ask. “What can we do to make our marriage last forever?”
