Long -Term Happy Marriage

Marriage today present a paradox.In one hand ,many people believe that the institution of marriage is under severe ,perhaps terminal threat ; others are waiting longer to get married and divorce is increased.Anyhow ,marriage still the deal and never gone out the style for most people in America.Personally,I think  that Marriage is the way to believe in something more important than my self.According to a concept  about marriage  I see my self in scale,and  I open myself to learn from a world that has much to teach me, and I grow into my self  less self-centered and better self.Moreover,the secret of a happy Marriage is love as Bible  said ,'' Love is patient and kind,never jealous or envious never boastful or proud,never haughty  or selfish or rude.Love does not demand its own way ,it does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do wrong.If you love someone ,you will be loyal to that person no matter what the cost''.Based in my experience,marriage is not fifty -fifty  because one part do more then other.Also,Long-term Happy Marriage has to do with high level of tolerance , give and take ,which can go in both side and we need to wear his or her shoes and walking for a mile. Through marriage two people  come to accommodate themselves to each others imperfection and make the necessary compromise. Thus Happy Marriage is a product of a well-lived life,not a goal but it is a archived through the pursuit of comings and goings  that must be meaningful and some time ironically and painful.
