I was reading an article in the NY Times about marriage...(See The Happy Marriage is the "Me" Marriage)
Having just celebrated our 33rd anniversary, my husband and I often discuss what has been/is important to us in the relationship. Invariably communication is one of the first items mentioned. We both feel that if we can spend time together discussing an issue or a problem, we can get through it without hurting one another. We are, first and foremost, friends. Strength of character along with absolute trust and support are off shoots of our friendship. While all 33 years have not been a walk in the park, there have been very few bad times and we have never had to "work" at our marriage. My wish for my children is that they too can find spouses who will be their life long friend.
If you wonder where you stand in your relationship, take the quiz here.
May your relationships, whatever form they take, be as fulfilling as ours has been!
