i just got married in 2013 so is there a key to staying married forever?
thanks![]()
Always be truthful and faithful.

the key to marriage is that there is no key to marriage, there is no rule, quick solution or pattern. It's work, day in and day out because people and feelings change over time and my marriage, your marriage and the neighbor's marriage are different. No cookie cutter solution.

Give up the pussy everyday.

Your avi is cute
Are you 16?

i'll agree to thatthe key to staying married forever is to never get divorced. Not even once. Or die.

Exactly what are you expecting by proposing this question to a bunch of anonymous drug-using weightlifters on the internet?
Regardless, the credited response is from Nangiggles, HTH.

I didn't mean it literally, yet you'd be surprised, I would have divorced or cheated on my husband in 2011 if I would have had the time and opportunity, I literally could not stand him at times. Today/2013 I am glad I didnt do any of that, I haven't been so happy with him in years, it's weird.alright i can do that
you mean he might not love me next year? and do you mean he might love me in 2015 after not loving me in 2014?
he works from home![]()

LL agreed
odds are not in your favor if youre 18 and just got married
I just got married in 2013 myself but I was 38. You are not going to be the same person at 38 than when you are 18 so you and your husband are going to have to grow up together, which means having a ton of patience with each other and always keep the communication channels open.
[/end cliche]

Seconded.
Besides, if she is 18 somewhere between now and 10 years from now the question will be academic because she'll be divorced or in the process, I'll bet every dime of Karma I have on it.
I got married at 18, my son got married around 20 or 21. I managed to make it to about 27 before I despised my husband (I also got knocked up one month after we were married, if not for that I would have left his ass about six months after we said "I do"), my son didn't even make it 5 years. In today's society the vast majority of first marriages before mid to late 20s fail.
Here's my advice to you, Polly. Don't buy a house, don't have kids. If you are still in love with, like and respect your husband when you're older than 26, then think about that shit. IOW, wait until your brain has finished maturing before you make any more stupid fucking major life decisions.

Alter or not...
The key to staying married is maintenance. Like anything valuable (your house, car, etc.) a marriage needs maintenance. Several times over the course of your lives you will drift apart; recognize it and force yourselves to spend alone time together to rediscover one another.
It's easy now, but life gets busier as you get older; especially after you have children. Enjoy your honeymoon phase and remember my advice in 3 or 4 years. Then when you feel the two of you drifting apart, schedule some time where the you can be away from all distractions; talk endlessly and be reminded of why you fell in love in the first place.

Have 8 kids and put both of your names on a house together, and make sure you finance EVERYTHING
Also, cut all ties with family/friends so you only have your husband for company, and spend all your time together cooped up inside your financed home
Should work out great

i might change but he won't, he is a lot older and has had wife experience but she died.
they were married almost 2 decades so at least he has experience (but they divorced during the 20 decades and came back together)
he already had a house for us
thank you, sounds very wise!
hubby drifted from his other wife but then they got remarried
not 8 kids lol.
my mum did not approve of our marriage so we don't see her much
he financed everything so far![]()
A naive 18 year old and a 40 something widower, talk about a scenario destined for success. In your case do the smart thing and get your name on the deed ASAP, then get preggo as fast as you can, also make sure he's updated any life insurance and his will. Better yet, get a post nup.i might change but he won't, he is a lot older and has had wife experience but she died.

And the plot thickens...
So how old is your husband? And why did you marry a man with such a disparity in life experiences?
Did you not have a daddy or something ? Decided to find one in marriage?

Bet he's got kids about the same age as you, doesn't he?

BTW, what's a happy newlywed doing out of bed surfing the web at 3:00 a.m.?

How long did you know him before getting married?

Why haven't you posted any nudes yet?

the trick is to always try and outgive the other person.. if you are married to a "Taker" you've got issues..
good luck and congrats..

lol exactly

Dead fucking serious.I can't tell if this is serious post

Dead fucking serious.
The only hope she has of securing her future is to make sure his kids can't wipe her out if he dies or becomes incapacitated. And she should be working toward developing marketable skills and getting some real world work experience.
These May/December things can get ugly as hell when December has kids the same age as the new spouse. And when the older partner wants the younger one to stay ignorant and placid, bad sign.
If he refuses to do a post nup -- he can amend his will but he can also go back and change that without her knowledge; he can get life insurance but if he doesn't pay the premiums the insurance company won't tell her and can't give her information -- the only protection she has is to get her name on the deed (which can't be removed without her knowledge) and a child. At least if she has kids the odds are strongly against the courts putting her out of the home in the event of something unforeseen happening to her husband.

mm why are you telling her to get on his deed and pop a baby to secure her future? How about telling her to get a job, gain independence or go to school? Women don't need to be leaches. Besides, what good is a house or a car if you have no job or money to maintain it?

Apparently only samoth and I noticed that our polly said "i didn't study business/money ever but hubby is experienced with those things."I assume she's going to UMelbourne for finance or law.

And Nan, did you not notice I said: "The only hope she has of securing her future is to make sure his kids can't wipe her out if he dies or becomes incapacitated. And she should be working toward developing marketable skills and getting some real world work experience."
Little FYI to all those 20-something four and five year marriage veterans out there, the worst thing any spouse can do is choose to remain ignorant of critical aspects of the marriage. And it's a very, very bad omen if one spouse does not WANT the other involved or informed, particularly when it comes to money matters.
However, if learning about household finances is too much like work for our pretty Polly, making a baby and getting on the deed (I didn't say mortgage, big difference) guarantees a little security. And yes, you can be on the deed but not on the mortgage.
And if he balks then something's not kosher.
Seriously, what does a 40+ year old man have in common with an 18 year old? Nobody can fuck 24/7, eventually you should have some sort of a conversation. There's only 11 years between my current husband and I and we still run into him saying "Hey, do you remember?" and I go "Shit, I wasn't even in kindergarten then."
haha thanks! haha! It said it was spelled wrong but I looked at it and couldn't figure out what I typed was wrong..fucking T!

Eh, maybe the reason he robbed the cradle was so he could have a second family, some men do that and generally speaking older fathers have way more fun than their younger counterparts. If he's leaning towards kids I'm just encouraging her to get started.a kid isn't a tool to gain security. that's asinine.
I agree she should be included in finances but having a kid for security purposes is terrible advice
I need to get myself a 18 year old I think

Best advice I ever heard was "Keep your fights clean and the sex dirty."

Dude, you better warn it's seriously NSFW.

Let's face it, if she isn't an alter we are talking about a chick that came here for marital adviceThe track record of this group in general (myself included) isn't exactly stellar in that regard.

wow thats incredible the way it can change so much each year.
thats pretty scary how some people who got divorced in 2011 could have waited and been ok in 2013!
amazing
i was looking in google for a forum about exercise/health/fitness cos i play tennis everyday and also cos hubby is into lots of exercising too so i find it pretty interesting too.
thats good me too i'm in melbourne for sure![]()

you can take your pics down polly, but I already saved them.

I'm going to assume backyard pool lounge is code for anal.i've never heard of a couple like ours, so its uncommon and people think i'm his daughter because they stare strangely when we kiss
we are pretty clean/oldfashioned in both ways (except he likes the backyard pool lounge lol) but we could become dirty in the future![]()
I meant when you were old!!
