I have yet to post my own secret, so I thought I’d go ahead and add it to the list…
The number one success secret for me has been…
Praying together.
If you are not a spiritual person, I know that just sounds like foolishness. All I have to say to that is ‘each to his own.’ It works for me!
My wife and I have been married 8 years, but I already said that at the beginning.
I rate my marriage as a 9, simply because there is ALWAYS room for improvement, and nobody is perfect… it sure is a fun challenge to aspire to
flawlessness, though.
My wife also rated our marriage at a 9… I guess I should have added that in the OP. You may rate it as a 10, but does your spouse?
Also, (((as far as I know, my wife doesn’t even check out ATS, so I’m not saying this for bonus points…))) My wife is awesome! I have been a
selfish and difficult person to live with, but she has remained faithful. I know that it is our commitment and love for one another and Jesus Christ
that has sustained us in those trying times. I thank God for her.

I am truly a lucky man!
