7 Things to Love about Being Married ...

October 24, 2010 will make 7 years that I have been married. I got married when I was 18 and I do not regret one second of it. The years that we have been together have been a good experience and I look forward to spending many more years – my whole life – with my husband. Below, I am going to give you 7 things to love about being married …

When you are married, you will always have someone there to talk to. When you had a crappy day at work and you need someone to tell your problems to, then your spouse is there for you to speak with. Surely, in a good marriage, your spouse will listen to your problems and give advice when you seek it.

Sex

When you are in a good marriage, then the sex is going to be good. It is also good to have one sex partner and knowing that you can trust your partner and know who he or she has been with. Take note that if the spouse has another sex partner, this obviously is not classified as being a good marriage.

Happiness

Congratulations Mel!

What the hell? Mel you just wrote "8 Benefits of Being Married" a few weeks ago and they are almost the exact same article. Okay yes you're married. Okay yeah you think it's great. Write something about marriage with a little more depth to it if you have to constantly be talking about your marriage.

I agree with Lisa. The blog needs more variety.

@ DrÃ© - It made me smile to hear that you like reading my blogs. That is exactly the impression I want to have- I like to share my experience and I know that it will give some people hope. I always say that if my blog touches at least one person, then I have done my job. =) I don't know why Lisa bothers reading my blogs, it's almost as if she goes to me just to say rude things - if you have noticed that. DrÃ©, keep reading my blogs and commenting on them - I'd love to hear more from you. Melanie

She was just trying to point out that you do not need to brag your marriage a lot of times. We're happy for you but must you always mention it in almost every blog you say about marriage/love? Btw, I like almost all of your articles, some are quite interesting but I noticed that you always argue with those who disagree with your blogs. Everyone is entitled for different opinions btw. :)

Hi Melanie, This is the first article I read on your blog and I really don't know how I ended up here LOL but I'm glad I did. I'm so happy you have written artices as positive about marriage like this one. Also I'm glad your marriage is doing very well :) I myself am 21 and planning my wedding! This blog just made my day really. Hope to read from you soon :)

I loved this blog. I am seventeen and I completely disagree with Lisa and Jane. I think it is really fantastic that you are still happy in your marriage since 50% of marriages end in divorce. It fills me with hope and I'm really excited to have that as well. It makes me happy to hear that you don't regret getting married so young. It just shows that not every young married couple will be a statistic. I would brag about it too. I would be shouting it from the top of a mountain and if nobody wants to hear it...that's okay. They don't have to listen. The same goes for your blog. It's YOUR blog. I am very happy that you are continuing because I love hearing about it.
