How to Make a Marriage Last, Happily.

I am no marriage expert by any means but I have had several relationships and considering all information and experience combined, I would say I am pretty close to expert level,  ;)   I was young once and back then, everyone didn't have some kind of STD like kids these days do. You almost need to get tested every 6 months and keep an updated file on your persons to have sex in today's society. I know if I wasn't married, I would be terrified to let a man put his penis in me, it's like... have you had your shots and where is your STD free card?  Thank heavens I am happily married and do not have to deal with that ever again.  WOW, I got off subject but if you know my writing style then you know that I am all over the place.  ADD writing maybe?  Just ADD? Who knows, I have not been tested for that.  Okay back to topic, my husband and I have been married for five years together for six and we both feel like we are in our honeymoon phase still, it never ended and we figured out why... We never stopped dating, we keep things fresh and new, we are always honest about what we want sexually and emotionally and we actually listen to each others needs and fill those needs as we can.  I don't act like he is my husband, I mean I recognize it of course but in my mind, I am still chasing him, still pursuing him, still doing the sweet things  I did when we were dating, the things that made him fall in love with me.  I only want him to be happy and I will do what I can everyday to make him smile.  I am very secure in my marriage and I know my husband would say the same.  He is my best friend and we tell each other everything.  There are still real men out there that want to be good husbands and if you find one, I hope you will see it and never let it get away.  Good luck. Happy dating forever.
