Married for 26 years now.. Extremely happy...Have two kiddos and the only, the only regret I have is not having 2-4 more. At the time we were both working and it just wasn't much fun. After mrs. dude stayed home to take care of the kiddos and home school them, I wanted as many as possible, but c'est la vie, we'd already taken care of that after number 2.

Only tip I have is to let each other have the space to be themselves, don't crowd each other and try to make them like what you like, it may/may not happen. If the other has a hobby or friends that doesn't include you that is okay and probably healthy. Always understand that it's a partnership deal and you are both in it and living it together.

Oh...one other thing, set aside time for each other. Actually, physically, schedule time for each other especially when it comes to the bedroom. It can become very easy to forget about taking time for one another.

It's a wonderful thing to have a life-partner who can and does share the woes, laughs and the sunsets as well as sunrises. Good luck.
