No marriage is not worth it.

My kids are the only good thing i got out of it.

I’d marry him tomorrow in a heartbeat. 10 years down and we’re truly blessed. I’ve been through the wringer this year and I couldn’t imagine anyone else by my side. Looking forward to the next chapter and grandkids.

I’d still marry my wife. She great looking, is an amazing cook and is hilarious.

I’ve been married 33 years. There are always rough spots, especially early on. That’s just life. If you can get past those, you’re golden. Unlike some folks that posted, I think the best part of marriage is now. I have a son that I think the world of, he is such a blessing. I just couldn’t imagine anything else.

I think because my wife and I think each other are really funny, it’s easier. We make each other laugh all day. I can’t think of anything better.

We have made many memories over the past 19 years, but during that time there have been ups and downs. A good marriage is like a level headed investor in the stock market. They enjoy the returns and roll with the punches during the down times and is patient, instead of selling everything off at once when things hit the fan.

You need to pick the right person. At my gym the women over there are nothing but drama, fickle, and mental (although they are hot). The women at my kids school are all motherly, have a reputation to uphold, Little drama, cute for the most part, and committed to the marriage (I am sure there are outliers but I only know of one couple who divorced in both of my kids grades over the years).

I tell my trainer often that his gym stories and the drama of the employees and members is a reminder that I chose wisely.

You have to pick a committed person. The best way to know is to see her at her worst. If she worked through repairing/addressing the issue, and you can accept the worst then that is the woman for you.

We would not be in the situation today had it not been for us being married. We are living the life we never had but always dreamed of.

Just know that marriage is not all rainbows and smiles.

I think this scripture says it best.

quote:

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD. - Proverbs 18:22


Notice it’s “finds a wife” and not finds a woman to marry? There’s an enormous distinction between the two. Just because they have the right plumbing does not mean they are qualified to do the job.


I’d say marriage is worth it when you find the right woman, who is already a wife in her attributes she brings to the table, but absolutely better to be alone when you make a decision with the wrong woman who does not have wifely attributes.

Go wherever you need to go, overseas if you need to, but do not compromise on this, ever!!!

Women can get really weird after having a child. There is definitely a phase of your needs don’t matter, it’s all about the child. But you still better pay attention to hers. Weird time.

This is good advice and one of the things my marriage is missing. We don’t make each other laugh and our sense of humor is completely different.

So in short, it’s worth it if you find one that gives you normal kids and doesn’t take half your crap.

Again I say this:

There is the relationship and there is the marriage.

The first is a commitment and the other is a legal contract. Once you understand that, then you decide how the two relate to each other.

Marrying my wife was the best thing ever, she's extraordinary. We also were clear eyed about finances with legal documentation pre and post marriage that protects our interests.

The relationship is stronger because we decided to have a strong marriage.
