I have been married 25 years. I think advice to not get married is too slow single men down from making a mistake....most jump in way too early.

Actually incredibly fulfilled in my life and don’t regret a thing. Point was, no matter how hard they are to get along with, the companionship of the love of your life is something every man should experience.

Women NEVER admit to being wrong.
What? That’s stupid as shite.
The advice I would give to other men, in front of my wife or otherwise, would be:
Don’t listen to any man who classifies all women the same. Men who say things like, “Women never admit to being wrong” are seeing women through the prism of their own disappointments.
I have had a beautiful relationship, with a wonderful woman, since 1979. I think I could have had a similarly wonderful relationship with quite a few other women had I never met my wife. There are some bad ones, just as there are bad men. And I have known several men who have had great marriages to fantastic women.
My advice would be to find one of the many selfless women, and try to be selfless also. Always think of your woman’s best interests and place them above your own. Also, don’t beg for sex. If she doesn’t feel good, be understanding - then don’t ask for sex again until she asks for it. Contrary to what others on here will tell you, she WILL ask for it eventually. She will learn from that that she likes sex and she won’t be too casual about withholding it.

I experienced this in real time yesterday. If our one year old plays in the toilet while I'm watching him, then it's because I wasn't paying attention. If he does so while she is watching him, then it's because i left the bathroom door open.

Good one. If she won’t clean for herself, she won’t clean for you

If you marry for the right reason, which in my humble opinion is you really love her, then love her at her worst. Even when her craziness is on full show, be kind, respectful, and love her.
My dad always says make sure she's kind. And make sure you like her, in addition to loving her. They're different.... you can love someone you don't like, but they'll make you miserable.
ETA: 43, never been married. My parents divorced in my formative years, I'm scarred.

Many women don't appreciate being called homophobic slurs during the act of sexual congress. This is particularly true of those slurs that refer to male homosexuals.

Women rarely admit to being wrong, and most of the times that they do, it’s a manipulative ploy to get you to agree to something they want that they don’t think you’d agree to without some buttering up. Women rarely admit they’re wrong unless they have to or it suits her separate agenda. They will always find a way to see themselves as the victim in every situation so that they can self-rationalize any and all negative behavior.

And spend a lot of time getting to know future in-laws, particularly the future mil, that’s a glimpse into your future.
Interesting follow up. In my case the MIL had died a few years before we met. She had committed suicide. That scarring didn't come out in my wife until we had been married a while, and it turned out to affect her more than I realized. I also found out more about my MIL over time, and my wife today is very similar, but I didn't have the benefit of meeting her and knowing her.

Don’t change for a women. See, women only think they know what they want. What they think they want and what they’re attracted to are two completely different things. If she likes you enough to date you and try to change you (and you’re not rich), then she’s fighting herself internally. That means she’s attracted to you, but you don’t hold up to some stupid list in her head of what she SHOULD want, but she does want you. Don’t change for her because she actually DOES like you as you are (even if she doesn’t think so). If you change, she will lose respect for you and not be attracted to whom you become (because she liked you before). If you hold your ground and stay the same, she’ll eventually figure out that the things that annoyed her or didn’t make her list are either endearing or meaningless. She’ll respect you for standing up for yourself and being true to who you are.

* choose a woman with a career, not a job
* her having financially stable parents is a must
* don't get married young. we all change A LOT as the years pass but by age 30-33, you have a clearer idea of what it is you want out of life and a wife....it's often MUCH different than what you wanted when you were 18-25.
* Children, especially young children, will strain your relationship. Be ready to suck it up for those infant-toddler years or your marriage can easily crumble under the pressure
* Watch our for signs of addictive behavior...alcoholism, drugs, gambling, shopping, etc. It's not going to magically fix itself just because she gets married or has kids
* Continue to do things on your own and be your own person. Boys trips, golf/sports league, whatever...you both need alone time and, unfortunately, women often feel differently about alone time. Don't give in, this time is important.

Whatever you did wrong 20 years ago, can and will be used against you today.

And if you are like me, you won't really remember the details, but she sure will, in living color and excruciating detail that you can't deny because you don't really remember it!

If there’s a habit she has that you don’t like now, you will hate it 10x more once you’re married.

Hide as much of your stuff as you can she’s gonna get 1/2 when she leaves.
What she doesn’t know you have or can prove is a win for you. Remember any inheritance she can’t touch any of it.
