We definitely don't have a perfect marriage. My H and I are already friends. My focus now is on happiness within myself and in my marriage. I won't give it 7-10 years, but I will give it 6 mos- 1 year. I am unhappy and being unhappy is not good for my child. I need a time frame so that I don't stay in something "just to get through the day" and wake up 10 years later and realize that nothing ever changed. Plus, this will make me "do the work". This road is going to be bumpy and difficult, but I am going to take it. I'm not in this marriage to "make it work", I am going to try for that "next level" that they talk about.
