I've been married for 13 successful years so I know what I am talking about! Marriage is not forever, but putting the work in makes your marriage forever. I am only giving advice to the love between two committed souls!. We are not religious but still managed our marriage because we want a forever marriage...no offense to the religious folks, but tradition doesn't work for us...periodT! We got married traditionally, but our marriage isn't run on tradition. Peace and Love.
