Okay people we have a major problem. Yes it is the same old problem, we only hear the bad news stories, rarely the good news. There are many people writing about their bad relationship issues and where are the good stories? The happy relationships? I know they exist I am in one. So to encourage the people who are getting the wrong impression that all relationships fail or are miserable, I have set a challenge.

I want to hear from the people who are in a tried and tested relationship (with a fellow human being) and you are glad to be in that relationship.

I do have a criteria so here it is:

You must be at least 25 years of age.

You must have lived with your partner for at least two years.

You are essentially happy and content with your relationship.

You can see your relationship lasting the distance and you can see yourself being happy with this person until one of you dies.

This is open to heterosexual couples and same sex couples.

How to enter the challenge:

You can leave a comment here describing your relationship, it can be brief or long it doesn’t matter. But please convey the length of time and how you feel about your relationship and whether you have been in bad relationships in the past and have now finally met Mr or Mrs Right.

Or you can write your story on your own blog and leave a link here as a comment and include a very a short description.

The prize:

There is no prize as you already have your prize and you are obviously already winners. But you will be helping some people see that true love does really exist.

Okay here is a bit of my story:

I have been married twice. The first marriage was a disaster, we separated under unusually traumatic conditions.

My current Hubby and I just clicked. We have rarely had a fight in the 12 years we have been together and when we have it has generally been a silly male/female misunderstanding. We both had terrible marriages before and we knew what we wanted in another partner and we would rather have been alone than take anything less. There was only one thing on our check list that didn’t meet our criteria and that was the age difference. Hubby is 14 years old than me. But we decided to over look that issue as we may never have found anything as special again. I am 100% sure we made the right decision. The years we have been together have not been easy for countless reasons, my illness is just one of the reasons, but each hiccup along the way has not been anything to do with our relationship just outside adverse circumstances putting us to the test all of the time. But our relationship has always passed the test with flying colours.
