I know this level isn't for everyone [hell, it wasn't for me at one point] but I think if you really want it, it'll happen for you :-)<br /><br />Mona - thank you for reading and commenting :-) I think the seriousness of marriage is looked at different the older people are when they choose to commit. different stages of life allow some people to see things from a more mature perspective and that always helps.<br /><br />Virgil - thank you for reading and commenting :-) I agree with everything you listed. That "space" thing is SO important to me. My husband loves to smother me and he takes is personally when I say I need space. He's beginning to understand that it isn't anything personal, I just need to maintain who I am aside from us. Like you stated, becoming one doesn't mean be one person but be in accord on the big stuff that matters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378529593008110246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213604020026696422.post-60047475597609692442013-02-27T22:18:53.889-05:002013-02-27T22:18:53.889-05:00Commitment is the first key to a good relationship...Commitment is the first key to a good relationship. With that as the foundation it takes care of the issue "will I be out of here when the going gets tough?" And nearly ALL relationships have tough moments because people are so different.<br /><br />The next step after commitment is to learn to resolve problems, which requires good communication skills.<br /><br />Get those down, i.e., commitment, communication and compromise and you can solve anything.<br /><br />Great post. For what it's worth another real key is s-p-a-c-e. We have to learn to let each other be different. Yes, we're one in the marriage (32 years) but it doesn't mean one person. We're one in our goals and one in what we're trying to achieve together, but it doesn't mean we'll always think about it the same way. We let go of most of the little annoyances and save fighting for the big stuff, which is actually very RARE these days. We rarely fight anymore and we're best friends, and we're still different. But that's OK ... we're on the same page on the big stuff (God, worldview, politics, our church, our kids, etc.) and that's what countsVirgilhttp://savethismarriagetips.com/3tipsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213604020026696422.post-33536197134069376802013-02-26T09:35:22.796-05:002013-02-26T09:35:22.796-05:00We married late, me 37, he 38.

We stayed together 24 years, until his death after a lingering illness. We made a vow, a promise, a contract, however you want to say it. There was never a question of giving up, moving on to someone else no matter how much we might temporarily irritate each other. Maybe we were just old fashioned that way. We believed life partners should be an integral part of our life's fabric, not cars to be turned in when the odometer has turned over once too often.
