Wife #1, hell yes.
Wife #2, no.
Wife #2, no.

In my case yes. My wife and I are best friends and each other's biggest supporters.

Yes, when I first realized she was a cold hearted bitch while dating. Couldn't walk away from that stuff.

I mean. My parents have been married 40 years and don't rip arse (outside of like.. illness/emergency) in front of each other.
I’ve been married for 4 years. Farting openly in my own house for all 4.
Life is short, gas is uncomfortable, and farts are funny. Lighten up everybody.
But it CAN be taken too far.
I’ve never heard my dad fart outside of a restroom, and I think he would be better off if he just let one rip every once in awhile. He’s too uptight.

Would you cancel the engagement before the marriage if you could go back?
My wife now I met 12 years ago, was engaged for 3 years. She was a widow. I can go on and on about her/us, but suffice to say we are best friends through and through.
I now have two young men that I still have some influence over. They are college age. Over the past 5 years I've learned a little about the current male/female dating dynamic. More than one of my single male friends have given up on finding a woman because of the unrealistic expectations and the entitlement mindset of modern females.
My boys see the success of their parent's relationship. Maybe they also can find a unicorn.

33 and not married.
My life is amazing.

My best friend is in this boat.
I would encourage them, as I try (often unsuccessfully) to encourage my friend, to never stop seeing each woman as an individual with her own merits, characteristics, and potential.
There are certainly still good women out there. The ticket to bitterness, loneliness, and unhappiness is to start lumping all of them together. It will subconsciously make you interact differently with them and transform you into a less desirable mate as well.
Men have their own problems. Focus on improving yourself and good things will happen.
And for God’s sake move around and change your strategy. So many just sit in one spot and keep fishing with one bait.

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.

I would marry my wife again every time. She is the greatest thing in my life.

Yes it is. There are obvious challenges but if you stick it out you will have a true friend and supporter for life. Don’t bail because your spouse has a bad spot. You’re most likely going to have one too. You will come out stronger together.

These days, most people getting married have already lived together for quite some time, so you're kinda preaching to no one
Still doesn't change things. Wife and I lived together for a while before marriage. Once you have kids, careers, etc. life changes. We are totally different people. Not saying that's a bad thing, but basing your future situation on today just doesn't cut it. It takes work. We've had plenty of bad times we've had to overcome. And there's always room for improvement. With kids, I could never think about an opportunity to back out if given the chance to go back in time. But I will admit it's not exactly what I'd thought we'd be like today, and that's okay.

Yeah, I've got not complaints, really.
I will say that my wife and I are "evenly yoked": we both came from families with substantial property holdings and social status, we're both the same denomination in religion, both have advanced degrees, etc. Also helps that she was married to a worthless dopehead years before we met, so that made some of my sarcastic assholishness not seem so bad in comparison. I was 29 when we got married, too, which I think makes a big difference vs those getting married at 21-24.
Two people from unequal backgrounds would probably be a bigger issue.

I always laugh when someone says they don’t fart around each other. Nothing says you trust someone more than withholding body functions and acting like your shite doesn’t stink. Try that getting stomach viruses or food poisoning and get back to me. Life happens. You gotta fart and shite. If you can’t do that around your spouse, then it’s gonna be a painful life or a very short marriage.
