I had test goggles on, and then when I came off, I had an "OMG, what have I done" moment. 
Seriously folks; I really love being married and friends who've known me thought I'd be the last person on earth to say that.
I married for the first time two years ago, at age 39—my wife was 23, and I knew exactly what I wanted. We love each other to bits, and are best friends—good friends for three years prior to our first romantic date. We had a very brief courtship (3 months) before I proposed.
We discussed everything in advance, and worked it all out beforehand. Things like; who has the final say (me), who does the laundry (her), would she learn how to cook (yes). Never to use sex as a weapon and to always discuss a problem before it festered.
She's a great girl with traditional values. Friends say she reminds them of a "nineteen-fifties" housewife. She runs a tight ship, and she is very appreciative of everything provided to her. It may sound a bit chauvinistic to some, but that's the way I wanted it and she and I are both very happy with our marriage. It's about trust. She knows I'm not a dick; it's just that somebody has to be in charge else nothing gets done. She has 49 votes and I have 51. No big deal. I don't abuse my power, and of course I have the ability to compromise when necessary.
I highly recommend it if you find the right person.
