The spouse and I have been married four and a half years (together seven) so maybe I shouldn’t speak here but I think 41 years is a tremendous success! Yes it ended but us married folks know how hard marriage can be and to stay committed for four decades – that deserves some accolades. Also, I didn’t get passion from the ’00 kiss, Kay Em! I thought it was sort of strange and uncomfortable. lol

Yes, the Gore’s divorcing was a big shock to me. But it also served as a good reminder that just because we’ve logged a few years of marriage, we’re good! It is definitely something that takes real effort and hard work every day. I never could have imagined how difficult it is to be married and I love to heard wisdom from folks who’ve done it longer than me.

Thank you for your blog!

Marriage is very rewarding and very hard. So many folks just cruise along silently without communicating about the issues. Over time, that leads to resentment. When resentment festers divorce is a very likely solution. I have been married for 11 years and we have survived some of the worst–death of parents, infideility and financial issues. God is a God of Restoration! Praise Him!

I’ve also been married 13 years. I think it’s always hard to see a couple who seemed happy suddenly part ways. It lets a little doubt creep in. I think it is a good reminder that marriage needs to be cultivated. I love your blog and that you guys are making it a priority, and writing about it and encouraging all of us.

As someone who has also been married 13 years (together 15 yrs) I can relate to what both of you wrote. I was in the car with the Spousal Unit when we heard the Gores were splitting and I was stunned, yet the longer I am married the more I am convinced marriage is work. It’s not a bad thing but the reality is people change and grow and the couples that survive are the ones where both parties are working to ensure the success of the relationship.

In the case of the Gore’s who knows what happens, yet to make 40 years is still quite a feat.
