As you get older you start to look more closely at happily married couples to try and glean what it is that keeps them together. What do they have going for them that keeps them together and happy? It appears that some married men never leave because they have no reason to leave.
There is a very true saying in this world and that is -”It takes two to Tango.” That my friends, is the essence of why some married men never leave and others do.
What I am saying is that to make a marriage work and for each individual to be fulfilled, it requires a commitment to the marriage by each party. No marriage will achieve its full potential, unless both parties work together and are totally committed to each other. When this happens, what develops is a marriage where there is mutual respect for each other as well as tolerance, forgiveness, understanding and above all love. Love is the one strong constant that binds all successful marriages. Love is not automatic; it requires work and sometimes, hard work. Too often couples fall out of love and instead of working together to repair why this has happened, they simply walk away and look for someone else to love. Reality is such that when this happens, there is every chance that they never find that true love that they think they are looking for. Truth be known, they had it there in front of them but failed to recognise and nurture it.
Couples, who seek help, generally are able to go on and develop long term and happy marriages. It’s like lots of things in life, if something is not working or broken down, get some help to get the problem fixed. Imagine if we all left our broken cars or lawn mowers where they are without having them looked at for possible repairing? The same goes for a relationship. There are many examples of couples who have the best marriages today, yet at some stage they needed help.
From a male’s perspective, I can tell you that my greatest achievement in life has been to make my marriage work. I have been married for over 30 years and I love my wife who is my best friend without any doubt in this world. Sure there have been difficult times and there have been some sad times. Life is not easy, what with children to look after, careers to be established and mortgages to pay; there can be enormous pressure in any relationship. The pride for me is that I have achieved this, but not without my partner helping me to enjoy our journey together.
Why some married men never leave is easy to understand for me. Why would I want to leave a relationship where – I am loved, I am appreciated, I am content, I am respected, I am happy. Why would I? I know some men who have gone off with younger women. Good luck to them! That’s not for me. Sure my wife has a few more wrinkles than she did when we first met, but guess what? – So have I! We are growing old together and that suits me fine. I am sure that my children and my grandchildren are pleased that this particular married man never left. Life is hard enough at the best of times and I am glad that my life is pretty uneventful and simple and that I am on my journey with the girl that I met so many years ago and we are having a wonderful life together.
For me, home is where the heart is and this is my story on why some married men never leave.
