[Happy] Marriage Survey

I am posting this because I'm engaged :cat: but I have a few curiosities. Plus, I'd really love to hear other people's stories (especially the positive ones, for a pleasant change) and get some advice. (No 'research paper' :p hee hee.) Please feel free to skip over any questions, I know they are rather personal, sorry :angel3:. And some might not be relevant to you. Thank you for your time reading and answering and for sharing! :) Your age and your spouse's age? How did you first meet? How/when did you know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with this person? How long did you date before you got married? How long did the engagement last? Did you and your spouse live together before you got married? If you did, for how long? Are you and your spouse okay with both/either one of you having friends of the opposite sex? What advice can you give to newlywed couples about this subject? How much time do you spend together? And what do you usually do during your time together? How much time do you spend apart? And what do you usually do during your time apart? What did marriage feel like the first year? In 5 years? 15 years? Now? How often do you and your spouse have sex? How have you maintained a satisfying sex life throughout your marriage? (Is there a secret? C'mon happily married people, SPILL IT PLEASE!) What do you think is the best way to prevent infidelity in marriage? What are your roles in your marriage? (By that I mean - who works? Who does house chores? Who cooks? Who handles the finances/budget? Etc.) Do you have kids? If so, how many? How long after you got married did you wait until you started having kids? How do children (or no children) affect marriage? How did you know and your spouse know you were ready to be parents? If you could do it over again, what would you do differently? Why do you think your marriage has lasted this long/has been successful? What's the best marital advice that you can share with young soon-to-be-married couples? :) If you had to describe your spouse in 3 words what would they be? :D What's your favorite quote that you feel most applies to marriage? Also attaching an anonymous poll with this survey.
