Is marriage worth it?

[biteme]

You guys just have`nt met the right person. The moment I met my wife I had several girls calling me leaving messages on my answering machine... Going out all the time with different girls. I was a bachelor in full force. Then it came to a screeching halt. That`s it. She was the one. IT JUST HIT ME. It was a no brainer decision.

I know it sounds gay but I wanted to grow old with her. Married almost 8 years now. So what if in 5 years from now we get divorced. I doubt it butfor arguments sake. At least the last 12-13 years was bliss. I`ll take it. lol

Yea, as much as I despise my ex wife now, she was a very fine piece of ass and I had a lot of years of great sex so overall it was probably worth it. I wouldn't go thru it again though knowing that it would turn out the way it did.

I like this expression:
Don't marry someone you can live with, marry someone you can't live without.

That sums it up for me and is why I'll end up marrying my girlfriend.

It's too bad they don't cite their statistics

It's not marriage that's the problem, it's us as people. Why do marriages go bad? Ask yourself that. You shouldn't marry unless you TRULY know and understand that you want to spend the REST OF YOUR LIFE with them. That's why I'm so scared of marriage. I don't want to end up getting a divorce 8 years later like my parents did.

My gf was there every step of the way during my injury, surgery, recovery... 2 years of hell... she didn't run away cos it was difficult.. so for that reason and more she is the one I'll marry...

I was married before for 3 miserable years but have a wonderful son... I would do it again if I had to just for that...
Life's a bitch, you never know what you're gonna get. Although I do believe things always happen for a reason and any failure of the relationship has some sort of positive outcome, even if it's a lesson well learnt...

been married ten years, with two rugrats. ol' ladies are cool sometimes, especially if they know how to cook somewhat and clean up after you. i like a good women that can cook, clean, suck a mean cock while still putting in 40 hours a week at her job.

women aint so bad once you live with em for awhile. you have to get one of them docile ones though. not some party ho. all of em can be annoying at times. i just walk away when they start running thier mouth too much. tell em, get in the damn kitchen bitch!!! i mean it!!!

kids are good for doing chores and yardwork so you can hangout with your buddies and drink beer while watching nascar.

No matter how much you love the person you marry you will need to be prepared to compromise and work for the rest of you life.

It doesn't take much of an effort at all to put the woman you love before yourself. If one of you runs out of love then was it 'true love' to begin with?

I think it is totally worth it to get married, but it isn't a farity tale for everyone. I think that today's morals and values have degraded many relationships and rusted many good people. I think that this is why a lot of people marry in haste and relationships fail. Some people get married for the wrong reasons, some people are immature, ill-matched or just plain selfish.

Cipher, good post! Tried to send karma but it won't let me yet..

I'm lucky to be surrounded by lots of great marriages, my parents, my brothers, and 9 sets of aunts and uncles, all still happily married, so my view of it is very positive.
