I have been married for 40 years, believe me there are ebbs and flows to every marriage. We have been near divorced a couple of times and I still call her a cunt when she acts like one. But to assume that two people will mature and still have common values after 40 years is absurd. Our arguments these days are over dumb shit, we have been through so much shit over our life together that at times we were each others only salvation, the only ones we each could lean on. The early years we were doing our own thing going out with our own friends and then the kid raising years, and now we are in the late years where we sit around listening to music and having drinks together and we are really enjoying each others company. It's a long road. But if you stay on it long enough until the stressors peel away, life becomes enjoyable again. That's where we are now and it's not a bad place to be....
