Will Your Marriage LAST?
The Do’s and Don’ts of staying together

By Dennis Pickering
(Who's been married to the same woman for 30 years.)

In this age of me first and taking care of number 1
marriages don't seem to last very long. Statistics tell
us that 50% of all marriages end in divorce and that
the average marriage only lasts 5 years. Unless you're
in the movie business when 6 months is a record.
50 years ago divorce was unheard of by the majority
of people. The philosophy of marriage was to stay
together for life no matter what we didn't like about
our partner. There were very few Irreconcilable
differences. People were committed to make things work.

Today just the opposite seems to be true. We expect the
honeymoon to last forever and when it doesn't we want
to bail out. Here are a few reasons people gave in a
divorce court as to why they wanted out of their marriages.

My husband keeps me awake all night with his snoring.
My husband never listens to a thing I say.
My wife spends too much time cleaning house and never
pays attention to me.
My husband thinks more of his dog than he does me.
My wife spends too much money on make-up.
My husband won't take me with him when he goes out
with the boys.
I can't afford a wife on what I make.
My wife wants kids and I don't
My wife doesn't like the way I dress.

And the list goes on and on.

All of these people have one thing in common.
They are letting petty problems interfere with their
happiness in marriage. They are looking at individual
concerns while failing to look at the long-term goal.
It has become easier to throw away what we have and
get something new. Just like we would throw away a
pair of worn but usable pants rather than take the time
to mend the holes in the fabric.

After 30 years of marriage my wife and I have made
a lot of holes in the fabric or our marriage, but rather
than throw it away, we have decided to mend the fabric.

Here's a few hints at some of the tools we have used to
mend those holes.

Commitment:

When you get married make up your mind that you are
in it for the long haul. That there not very many really
good reasons that will give you a good cause to divorce
your mate and often times those too can be worked out.

Humor:

Nothing in this life is to be taken that seriously. Find the
funny side to every situation no matter how it may seem
at the time it often seems funny or ridiculous when we
look back at it in twenty years later.

Caring:

Put your spouse's needs first always. If you put your
spouse first and your spouse puts you first then everything
and everybody else comes second.

Trust:

You need to trust one another. If your spouse doesn't
check in with you every 5 minutes don't assume that they
are seeing someone else or don't care about you.
Everyone needs their own space and time for themselves.

Tolerance:

Everyone makes mistakes. If I don't make at least 1
mistake a day I consider it to be a bad day. If you make
a mistake, admit it and get on with your life. If your
partner makes a mistake forgive them for their mistake
and get on with your marriage. I always ask myself
the question: Will it make a difference in my life 20 years
from now. If I can answer yes. Then my spouse and me
would need to talk about the problem. If my answer is
it won’t make a difference 20 years from now, then
forget it.

Communication:

Talk about everything. Lots of people say that after 10
years there's nothing to talk about. But that's not true.
Ask one another about their day, what they want to do
during the week, month, year, and lifetime. What there
problems/needs/concerns are.

Excitement:

Spice is the variety of life. Change the way you do things
often, re-arrange the furniture, dress differently, go
places, and do things together. Spend time together:
go for walks, picnics, watch the sunsets, go to a movie,
cry together, and laugh at everything and everybody.

Remember Today is the first day of the rest of your
life, make it a wonderful day and make it together with
your forever mate.
