I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work, I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.

You have to work for everything. Marriage should not be any different.

Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is certainly easier if you are open, trusting and loving.

Any sex outside of the marriage bond between a man and a woman is violating God's law.

I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
