These days, most people getting married have already lived together for quite some time, so you're kinda preaching to no one.

This sounds very trailer park-y

Option A: get married have lots of kids have your own fiefdom and lineage. Die surrounded by your family who cares for you til the very end.
Option B: don’t get married don’t have kids regret it later oh no it’s too late die alone regret everything.
Which way western man?

I’m on year 27. There’s good days and bad…they all kinda blend together at this point. Most of the time, you’re just “there”. I hope you picked someone that you’re okay with cohabiting with in a few years, because that’s basically what marriage is. Good luck.
25+ years now. God blessed me with one heaven of a woman. Thus far, it hasn't become anything like what you've described.
To answer the OPs question, yes provided you understand God's design for marriage.

I'm 42 yrs into my marriage and don't indulge in such trashy behaviour.
Be/do better.

Ehhhhhhh
I disagree but I don’t
That dude isn’t a baby but he isnt out of this yet.
I was sans kids and wife at 33. My life also kicked arse. I was rich af. I didn’t know it but I was. Freedom is the big thing. frick money. I love freedom. I saw money as a way to freedom and I was running North.
There are pros and cons to being a younger father and being an older father.
Different things are right for different people.
I wasn’t ready. I would have likely been a terrible father at 22. I worry I’m a terrible father now. I don’t think that goes away. I think you always worry.
I know the desire to frick other people doesn’t. You tell yourself you couldnt if you tried. Or you could if you wanted. Whatever makes you move along. The reality is you just know you don’t want to lose what you built.
Cause however good or bad it is, you built it. And man. Kids. I hate fricking kids.
My kids are my heart though. I’d burn everything I ever touched or had down until I met my kids.
It’s your favorite person you never met. It’s crazy.
Just make sure you and your wife are cool. Then your boy Justin has to move his arse out of the spare bedroom. The soon to be wife is funnier anyway, she’s fun to frick and has a job.
Boom your 65

B not so much, at least not for me and I'm at peace with things. I'm 54 and happily never married with no regret in sight. I tried to find one but it's not for me. Life's good, next week I'm going to meet up with an ex in Bali. This Spring I'll hang with friends in Tuscany. I'll get in some more trips before football season where I can wear my boxers all day Saturday if I want to without lip.

Married 25 years. Wouldn't have it any other way.
We suit each other well. What one sucks at...the other is good at. Together we are a solid unit.

I will be married 50 years in may. Both I my brothers have been married a year or 2 longer. All of us would say yes. Children and now grandchildren are the greatest joys in life. I love my wife and wouldn't trade her with anyone that I ever met. Every marriage has rough spots. But overall. It is what you make it. Choose the right person and be kind. Be the best person that you can be. It is not about how much you have but rather happiness. Keep God first and things will go well.

A lot of men would say no, because they chose poorly. When you’re looking for the hot chick who puts out and is fun to marry and you didn’t bother to consider qualities which make a good wife and mother don’t be surprised if she bangs her boss, co-worker or the neighbor.
Guys who say they’re single and never want to get married are just wasting oxygen frankly. They have no idea what they’re missing.
I’ve been married 41 years to my wife. She was a great mother, now fantastic grandmother and the best wife I could have possibly found. I hope I never have to live another day she’s not part of.
So yes, choose wisely and it will be the best thing you’ll ever do.

I plan to raise an incredible family with my beautiful smart lovely wife and once everyone is all good, I will divorce her for a 20 year old. We will of course still have an amiable relationship and get together for holidays and stuff. This is the way

Interesting take. As a female, my namesake died with no male children/siblings. I come from a very small family, even though devoutly Catholic.
I was always good with kids. Pre-school gymnastics teacher, when I was 15-17.
I never had the desire or ambition to have children. I married late in life. 41 yo.
I have zero regrets. Life has been a continual blessing. My spouse is amazing. Kids would only detract from our relationship. I know I am an outlier. .

Would you cancel the engagement before the marriage if you could go back?
Nope. Married two good ladies, they just have questionable taste in men.
