First time around married way too early, tried to gut it out too long. Divorce. Still have two wonderful kids (now adults) from it.

Second marriage, I got it right. We've been together for 15 years and just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary last weekend. Have two young children. She is truly my best friend. We laugh together every day. We've gone through some stressful times and ended up in couples therapy for a few months about 7 years ago. Things have been smooth sailing ever since. We take on life as a team and couldn't imagine being without each other. So, it's possible, kids.

I guess I didn’t give my marriage stats. 27.5 years and we are blissfully happy. We don’t argue, we really don’t even gripe. We laugh non stop, even through bad stuff. We spoil each other rotten and we’ve raised 4 well adjusted happy kids.

We knew each other for 3 weeks before we got married at 21 years old. We broke every single rule (we were flat broke, didn’t know each other from Adam, and did it on a whim) and got unbelievably lucky. Neither of us have a selfish bone in our body and we both had traumatic childhoods and were determined to do better in our lives and with our children. I think that has fueled a lot of our marital success.

Well that plus she’s just freaking awesome. She makes it easy (me not so much).

I voted what are my options again. We are happily married for 19 years but I don't consider it luck. It's hard work and sacrifice in service to the vows we made and in love for the other. Love is a verb. It doesn't just happen to you.

This seems like reality to me. I'm glad you and your wife made it work. Congratulations.
