My 10 year anniversary is fast approaching and I have decided to have some sort of plaque or trophy made for my wife. I have been racking my brain trying to think of something witty to inscribe on it. You guys seem to be the most qualified to help me with my problem. Any suggestions?

After 10 years, you've obviously missed a few clues. She doesn't want a plaque, even if she says so. She wants a big shiny diamond...

I'm not qualified, I got a divorce at 9 years so I spent what would have been my 10 year anniversary with another Woman. That saved me from having to buy her something for a 10 year anniversary. Even if I had, I don't think she would have been appreciative. :lol:

You're evidently doing something right, so whatever it is, keep it up.

Better than a trophy--give her some TIME. Take one of her daily chores and make it yours (for me, this was the kitchen cleanup after dinner, and I insist that the kids help). Then give her a certificate that says something witty about it no longer being her responsibility. Then stick to it. That won't be easy, but I guarantee it will be worth the effort.

31 years this October for us!
For the 10th anniversary I told her to pick out a new ring. Took almost two years to pay it off! 8O
But a ring, flowers and dinner is the ticket. Re-doing vows at 15 years and 25 years (with ANOTHER ring at 25 years)! This year I am sending the Mrs. and mother-in-law to Germany to visit our daughter. I can't take off from work, boo hoo :lol: . Two weeks home alone!

Last, congrats!!!! A marriage lasting more than a few years is becoming a rarity.

Well then hate to steal the thread but I was wondering....have times changed that much? Iam 32 yrs old...really have no "want to" to get married...can read threads about "women of there dreams" all over. But there are 10:1 dream marriages...any old or young chime in? My parents are working on 45 years...and be grown up Iam far from gay... does any one like variety?

lmao.... my first marriage lasted 3 years.... I got divorced 3 days before I turned 21.

I have yet to have another relationship that has lasted more than 2 years.

I think the rules have changed as the house roles have evolved over the years.

more and more people would rather be independent than to actually invest energy to try and fix relationship problems. I think the reality of the old world was that people were more likely to make the relationship last for Moral, Religous, or family/societal pressure than for actual love.

its proven...... its not human nature to be monogamous.



But to those who manage that, my hats off to you! I barely see past the next date much less 10-15-20+ years....... im super jealous of you all.

I can only dream of finding me a wife. ive come close........ sooooo bloody close........... but I doubt i'll ever get married again.

Im beginning to think its the luvs that drives em all away! they cant handle being only a silver medal to the truck! :lol:

Been married 27 years as of Sept. 03. We dated 5 years before we got married so we have been together for 32 years now! WE are the only ones on both side of the family to stay married. WE are both very strong willed people and our opinions differ greatly sometimes, but we make it work. Not to say there has not been some bumps in the road over the last 32 years, but nothing we could'nt work out. My big mouth still gets me in trouble sometimes, one day I will learn when I need to keep it shut, but I doubt it! ( My wife compares me to RAT in the Pearls Before Swine cartoon)
Its a lot of give and take, compromise, understanding and hard work but if you really love each other everything will always work out like it has for us.
Looking forward to our 50th Anniversary one day!!

???

Sure, those factors influence our marriages. But, do you think "actual love" is some kind of feeling that comes (and goes) spontaneously? No marriage will last if it's based on that. I love my wife because it was a conscious decision I made 31 years ago. When we married, I made a commitment to that decision. Believe it or not, you can "lead" your feelings rather than having them lead you.

Give her a woman's day out. Massage, pedicure and all the other stuff. Pay for a friend of hers (that you can stand) to go with her too if you can afford it.

36 years here. Flowers to her work is a great thing. Everyone can see. Marry your best friend. Marriage changes, kids, school, money problems. I went to Back to School at 36 years old... 3 hrs away from home. I came home on weekends for 2 years.

13 Oct will be our 31st anniversary! Same thing as you just said, nothing in common but we both hate MY family! Differences CAN be an asset. Now that I am thinking about this, what am I going to do for MY anniversary? Man, being married sucks! :ebiggrin
