My wife and I have been married since 1967. If my math is correct that is about 36 years. Have they been a glorious 36 years of total bliss? No. I don't think you'll ever find any couple that have been married for anytime that do not have good days and days that are not so good. Marriage is a partnership and you get out of it the exact same thing you get from any partnership - when both parties are trying to make it great, it's great. If one is not doing their share it causes bumps in the road - sometimes big bumps. When both quit trying to make it work it is over. Marriage isn't perfect - My wife isn't perfect! I'm perfect! Right! We work at being us. We have been us for a long time and will probably be us until the very end. Marriage is what you make of it - just like any other agreement between two people - Like an old song says - "that's the story of...that's the glory of love".
