This is the question:
"How have you and your husband managed to survive during the war?"
Is it grammatically correct? If not, how can I make it correct?
Thanks!

@W9RFM,
This is correct if the war is still going...for example if you are talking about the present and live in Syria. If you are talking about a war that is in the past like the second world war then it should be 'How did you and your husband manage to survive (during) the war'. 'During' is a little bit redundant.
