These polls never fit me. I would be most accurate saying "Extremely satisfying; working on issues". Every marriage has to have issues if the marriage is between two human beings. As people I can't see how we could go through life without issues. Where issues play into a satisfying marriage I think is when the partners can solve the issues and often strengthen the marriage from the solution.
So many of my friends these days can't seem to find a way to resolve the issues that are damaging their relationships with their spouses. My wife and I are the ones married the longest among all our friends. But we've had our fair share of difficulty. In the end though we overcome these troubles.
I often think that people don't really consider the lines in traditional wedding vows. The "For better or worse", "Richer or poor" and "Sickness and health" situations are real and we will all likely face them at some time or another. Often all at once. Regardless of religion or culture, we need I think consider what those vows mean.
