    Do you really think that it's a good basis to build a relationship on? Start and nurture a family? It is certainly essential to take stock and look at where things are going but this is an ongoing thing, all the time - not every 10 years and decide OK.. we stay... nope.. we go....

    Married for 21 years AND alive ;)
    congrats...and another one on heroes list :D

    probably better than a messy divorce after a few years.

    Probably, but it is still 'officially' viewing what one should be looking at a lifetime commitment as something temporary. Even a messy divorce after a few years is not planned. Just seems another way not to have to work at the relationship (after all, it's only committed for 10 years). Call me old fashion but going into a marriage thinking 'we'll give it a go for 10 years and we'll see after that' is just not the same as 'we commit to a lasting relationship where we can have kids and raise/nuture them until adulthood and we will endeavour to make it work'.

    i dont think many people are hardwired for 30 years of marriage without a little cheating going on.

    i bet old grandma or grandpa who have been married 50 years probably played around a little back in the day, but they just dealt with it and moved on. they didnt have cameras and answering machines and cellphones everywhere to catch them. seems the only real way to have a healthy long term marriage :lol:

    We don't cheat cause we don't want to hurt each other. Also our lovemaking is very very good so why ruin a working partnership of life.
