Couples Married for 0-65 Years Answer: What's the Secret to a Happy Marriage? | Brides

[@jemadel7216]

"we don't need each other, we want each other." this

[@scar8o284]

This indeed (I’m the 1k like!)

[@tawanacalamari5712]

interesting how the answers became more and more simple as the years increased.

[@donnal8683]

I think it's because in the beginning, they are still at the stage of earning each other's trust and laying down a foundation for their marriage. That's why they need to feel as if they are the priorities, friends, understood, etc. But once that foundation is built, it becomes really about tolerating/compromising and having fun (humor).

[@kathleenlorenzen4113]

YES!!! I noticed that too and it made me feel better and better as it proceeded

[@delorese9318]

That lady that said make eachother a priority...said it all👆

[@beniciosgirl]

Agreed

[@engjellusheveshi898]

We all love some good pica 😅

[@charlee11127]

That's good advice but when you have children they then become the priority.

[@anima8720]

@@charlee11127 anddd thats why marriages fail and kids are brought up with single parents. No. Children do not become the priority. When the relationship fails, the kids suffer the most.

[@ridonculously]

I love how many times humor came up. My parents have been together for 25 years and my mom always says “The day your daddy stops making me laugh is the day I’m leaving him.”

[@wherearetheavocadossss]

aw bless

[@doc2590]

I tried this, my ex said I'm not in the mood for humour right now.

[@josiahmart5021]

Well I know I’m not going to find someone I’m not even funny

[@fairytori]

The older couples are literally sitting closer together so cute

[@irmalair1]

wow that's true lol, I guess they just actually become one after all xD

[@banon485]

2:03 "Don't take each other for gwanted." So sweet.

[@davidpietarila699]

"A completely unique experiences, not like friendship..." I completely agree. I love my wife, but "Love" isn't the right word. I respect my wife, but "Respect" isn't the right word. I am bound to my wife in the sense that we are married, but "Bound" isn't the right word. There is a more... profound wholeness... that fill those words. As you watch these couples, the younger ones have words because they are describing ideas. But the longer they are married the less specific it becomes because there really aren't words to describe that bond.

[@Chi2024dolls-n-bl]

True. When I try to describe what my husband of 21 years is to me, I'm thinking that he is my father, my child, my best friend, my teacher, my home, my family. I share with him everything. We are like ONE. It is not love in the romantic sense, even though we are very affectionate towards each other. It is a unique bond like none other in life.

[@nimwits6417]

Old couples are so cute omg that couple who've been married for 44 years and were talking about how she used the f-word toward him for the first time remind me of me and my boyfriend like, even when we're mad at each other we always end up laughing not long after pfft . Ramble Ahead . . . . . My grandparents celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary on May 10th this year. My sister and her husband have been together since she was about fifteen or sixteen years old and she's turning 35 this year. They're both huge inspirations to me for my relationship and being the same age my sister was when she started dating her husband I hope my relationship works as well as theirs has even being so young and I hope I can grow old with my boyfriend like my grandparents have. aaa

[@FayeJones]

You mean the couple married for 41 years

[@gabrielas3793]

I love that humor was mentioned quite a lot. I hope whoever I marry can laugh as much as I love to laugh, and that we’re able to find humor in the midst of hardships.

[@roselewis3906]

Humor is a big one! My husband and I have been married 5 years and there is not a day that goes by that we don’t make each other laugh. I love it! 🤗

[@BrianaP.]

married for 5.5 hours and theyre still dressed in their ceremonial clothes lolol wow amazing

[@computerbiscuit]

I've been married to myself for 42 years, I love me:) Tolerance and a sense of humor yayyyy

[@Swiss_Girl]

I like the 9 years couple❤️ still so much in love

[@dogscott7881]

It's hard to believe the couple that has been married 44 years has been married 44 years. They both look great.

[@sosmcs]

The girl with curly hair......lord, gorgeous. And the other one with the shorter curly hair is gorgeous too.

[@Meredith.A]

yes open-mindedness and trying to respect they're difference of opinion agree to disagree...this comming from someone who never been married but studies communication! lol

[@Mushroom321-]

nice! 😁

[@piqueny8872]

Contentment in your partner. the moment you see them you feel happiness pure joy and peace. ❤️

[@jaclpz]

Aww i love the 41-yr married couple’s story

[@raenewnham7490]

"Just bring me back a pizza" that's me as a wife lol

For some reason, the guy with the glasses reminds me of Uncle Ian from Alvin and the Chipmunks lol

[@sgreen9088]

Can we have a follow-up with these couples?

[@Ghosted676]

Hariette is so gosh darn beautiful my goodness

[@ekaputriseptiyani220]

[@grantshepherd94]

That couple married for 58 years are so funny 😂

[@saraschneider6781]

I need to know about his misbehaving. Also buying his book.

[@samlovesrosie]

I love the 4 year couple so much

[@Atymtayeva]

I love the older couples.

[@anomaly9156]

A lot of people on the internet today would say that those old couples are together just because the guy couldn't escape as he had to pay child support, etc. Blah blah blah They can't see that people that are happy in their marriage don't need their useless validation and joke around. Just came from a short where so many people got offended over the wife joking. They decided that the dude is miserable from a 30 sec clip.

[@teamsanity3808]

Im married... but after watching this, i think i am not fit to be married...

[@Singing722]

Secret is stay Best friends.

[@cloudgirl150]

Why the hell would you ask this question to a couple who've only been married 5 hours?

[@indiaxlovee]

cloudgirl150 they could of broke up at 4 hours, but they made it far

[@mrrob8263]

3:06 The one 41 years I wonder what they eat cause I want to look like that young wow 😳

[@nungacynderilla5095]

Wow , sense of humor..... wow

Did you accidentally switch the 57 and 58 couples?

[@illybias9674]

To The couple married for 21 days The gaydar is never wrong hunny

[@fatimaee4184]

wow youre shallow.

[@albusdumbledore7733]

my gaydar couldnt sense it. Slight bi vibes maybe but idk

[@davidb5205]

I didn't want to be the one. Maybe he's just comfortable with his feminine side/raised around more women than men.

[@abdulazizhawsah9884]

I thought its impossible to stay married.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Oh, they're a bunch of liars, actors. Any actors can get together on screen for a couple of minutes and claim they've been married "65 years".

[@reynaflores3500]

I MAKE THE APPLE PIE

You can have a happy marriage only by exercising maturity, establishing unity, and achieving sexual compatibility

The couples who are married for 68, 44 and 41 years are what I hope to be decades from now. P.S. there is a lady who looks like Angela Merkel.

[@tahliawaddle2631]

Its sad you can see the hurt in the couple that has been married 58 years throughout all the videos

[@mandymakhumalo4568]

Just bring me back a pizza

[@SupernaturalWavelength]

The more in watch these the more I notice the man at 0:38 looks like he is pulling away from his wife. He always looks so uncomfortable and unsure.

I can live with that lol

[@raquelr8775]

Just bring me back a pizza, lol me.

[@laurainlondon]

Hilarious

[@skrittle555]

i think the fact that most people had varying answers just means that it really depends on the couple. finding someone with a similar heart and mind is really important in my opinion- someone who shares your values and such. but i do think having a sense of humor is vital, and ideally a similar sense of humor so one of you doesn't end up butthurt or actually hurt.

[@schlubenno3827]

Or it means that you need a combination of things to make a marriage work, and that’s why a lot of them don’t.

[@GreenTeaBiss]

Older couples know what’s really up.

[@Dreimair]

Did anyone else look at the asian couple, do the math on their age and then believed in vampires?

[@Nastya-hd2yq]

it`s all about genes

[@vivianlite6418]

Got married early or still in their first marriage.

[@dejarayvon1604]

Asian people tend to age very well

[@pastelricecharms]

@@vivianlite6418 lol i tried but even if they got married at 18 they'd be 40 phew

[@vivianlite6418]

Phyllis Lam they look about mid 40s or maybe early 50s in Asian age 😂

[@adwoaasarekonadu9622]

I like the Asian couple, "always remember you're on the same team" a lot of them mentioned this and the gaycouple, when he said "to not keep score". And the last one "tolerance and humor"

[@essennagerry]

I like how much they emphasized on humor. I'm not married but I really, really want a humourous person who doesn't panick at everything, who doesn't turn every situation into a serious drama. And I kinda thought I was desiring something unimportant and needed to change my desire. This video was encouraging in that sense. :) I do think humor is important, and it's nice to hear so many long time spouces say so as well.

[@rammarahwhitener7861]

I love the diversity of all the couples

[@sosmcs]

Rammarah Whitener ugh, i bet ur American. Not everything is about diversity and what not. Just focus on the message of the video and enjoy it.

[@lizzyxo9015]

I'm a R'ship Trainer and i teach about having a weekly, 2-minute (minimum) belly laugh. I watched a brilliant documentary about very unusual animal friendships and one of the most common traits between all these friendships was being playful, having fun and being humourous......i really surprised initially to find that bond in that way with anaimals yet it works with us humans so why not other animals :-) Thanks folks for this video......really enjoyed it :-)
