The fact that they have kids who were nurtured in the secure environment of that love gives me more hope for what the future holds and the people that will be in it.

I think they should write a book on marriage. And for anyone who says they are putting on a show for the camera, you can’t fake that kind of chemistry. Been married for 7 years and it’s work. It’s love, but it’s work. Sometimes it seems like a lot of work and sometimes it’s easy peesy. The only advice I can give is to practice patience- you will get better and patience is definitely something that needs practice. (And obviously sometimes that’s not the problem and it’s best to part ways-if the compromise is too much)I was married before for a couple years when I was in my 20’s and we both lacked patience. Stephen and Evelyn have been married for 28 years, I’d bet they’d have some great advice.

Seven whole years, huh?

[@stargazerlillie7]

[@leslieroycroft3569]

@@craigfelter I was not at all trying to say that was a long time. I know it’s not. I was just stating what I had learned from my past mistakes and present situation. In fact, I feel like where we are at now is easier than the first couple of years because of that patience. Though, I will admit that children and age helps with patience as well. I was simply putting out there that that’s something I’ve learned by experience. Then also adding that a couple like Stephen and Evey would have an entire book to write on what they have learned. How long have you been married and what advice do you have for someone like myself who’s been married “a whole 7 years” or for a couple just entering marriage?
