Marriage is hard work!

Yes marriage is hard work! We have such a romantic image of marriage when we first get married. The Knight in shining armor on the white horse bit. Then we get married and find out the armor is rusty and well you know what horses can do alot of! But hang in there it can be well worth the work.

I honestly don't know if I would get married again, at least to the same person, if I got a do over. There are just so many things about my life that totally suck because I married a man with a kid and an ex-wife. Maybe it would have been easier if he were a widower. My mom told me to think carefully about marrying a man with a kid and a psycho ex. She should know seeing as she married my step-dad who had 3 kids and a psycho ex. I feel like life has passed me by.

marrriage is a compromise, because both the male and female thought process is different frome each other.

althought I've been married 35 years if I could go back I'd wait till I was older. I love my wife but she put me through things Iwould rather not have known about. Not to throw it all on her I did my share of dirt also...I don't believe people get married for love but for lust, through the years you fall in love.

You should've thought of that a long time ago =) The right person at the wrong time, is still the wrong person. For people who are still waiting, think about it.. make sure you're prepared emotionally, financialy and spiritually before you make a lifetime decision for your future.

Marriage is really a hard work:-). but if you had known earlier even than probably you would have gone for it for the sake of love. through my observation and bu having many married friends before me, i had a good, if not complete, idea about my post marriage responsibilities and what could come in my way. so i was a sort of prepared for the problems to come. problems do come but with the help and love of each other they pass by and sometimes you even enjoy them. i think that had i known these things before i would have opted for an early marriage :-)

Marriage is hard work and a lot of compromises. I have been married 31 years and now I realise that the all the efforts are not worth it. Everybody changes and what you are looking for in a marriage today may not be the same ,say in 5 years time. Marriage is an institution which one has to examine very carefully before stepping into it. So many successful marriages are only an eyewash and probably unhappy and lonely experiences. For your question...I wish I had waited, I would never get married.

Well then I guess you would say Im lucky then because I havent gotten married yet. I dont think marriage will be all that bad as long as I marry someone I enjoy spending my time with. Its all in finding the right partner and after that all the blocks fall into place. I know it sounds so easy and more than half of us will never experience a marriage like that but its still nice to think its a possibility.

I don';t think it's that MARRIAGE itself is hard work, but that any long term relationship that you live with the person and have to cooperate and get along and share a bed together is hard work. I knew it woudln't be easy all the time, but it still never would have stopped me. I wished I married my husband sooner actually.

marriage is hard work, but is beautiful. i would not have waited..i would still do it the same way we'v done it though.

I don't think anyone is ready for all that marriage entails. There is no way to prepare someone for all of the "surprises" a person gets after they are married.

Although I'm not married yet, but I really believe that marriage is a big responsibility but you'll going to love it if enter on it on the right time.

It's just like anything else in life - it depends on how badly you want it. I think a lot of people think they are "supposed" to get married because that is the way that most societies are set up. You should get married only if you truly want to, and if you truly want to be with that person. If that is the case, then any amount of work - large or small - will be worth it.

If I had known before hand that marriage was such hard work it just would have made me more sure that I was marrying the right person. Everything is not perfect in our marriage but there are very few personality types who I could have gone through it all with.

Well you have to consider a happy marriage you better prepare yourself to what comes next all of the responsibility would be stacking 1 by 1 it is really hard work yet you shouldn't regret anything.

yes u have 2 win over it

Marriage for me is so sacred..it has to be given serious consideration. Before one decides to get married, he/she should be financially, emotional and spiritually ready...

I agree. I have been married for four years now and I have regreted it many times. To make matters worse, I am in one of those international marriages. I met my wife through the internet, then married her six months later. Talk about fast! I even moved half way around the world to be with her. Wow! I have been though so much stuff in my married life. Everything from financial problems to the loss of our first child. So I think I have a good idea of some of the things that happen in marriage. But my marriage is still intact. Marriage can work if you want it to. If you don't, better not to get married at all. God bless
