Another reason is... after awhile you really learn how each of you communicates... the number of misunderstandings halves with every year you're together.
I get sad when I see people break up over things that I'm sure just wouldn't matter to them after awhile... if they'd just hang in there.
That's one of the reasons I think arranged marraiges often work so well. You HAVE to make it work.
Ok, now I'm babbling...

Okay, csgirl, I cannot say I agree with you often,
but when I read this I almost applauded!!!
I think you hit the nail on the head. People don't want to work to make it happen anymore. It seems most of us married folk here do well, though! And even though you aren't married yet csgirl, I can guarantee you will stay that way if you keep that mindset!!! Kudos!!!
