First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes
decades of time together strewn with a minefield of potential relationship
wreckers. It's a wonder that anyone ends up walking off into the sunset,
hand-in-wrinkled-hand, with a silver-haired mate. What do those geriatric
lovebirds know that you don't?
Well, the truth is that even in so-called happy marriages, both partners
probably fantasize some of the time—or even much of the time—about throwing in
the towel. A Woman's Dayand AOL Living poll found that a shocking 72% of
women surveyed have considered leaving their husbands at some point. But
despite the occasional rocky patch, 71% expected to be with their husbands
for the rest of their lives. So how do you make it to the finish line with your
relationship intact?
