But, I'm glad we're married. Is it worth it? Hell, I don't know.

Would you cancel the engagement before the marriage if you could go back?
No. I engaged in too much destructive behavior as a single man, I’d likely be dead or in poor health by now if not for her. Plus she inherited a lot of money which she used to help me accomplish my dream of having my own farm. We have our disagreements but the positives have far outweighed the negatives and she is like my best friend. I can’t think of anyone I know that would make me happier, and all my friends are settled down so being single today would be way less fun than it was 5 years ago

Depends.
As of last October we have been married for 30 years and it absolutely was the right decision for us. I now have 2 wonderful kids, who are married to spouses that we actually really love. They have given us 3 grandchildren so far that bring nothing but absolute joy to our lives. Hasn’t always been easy. There were definitely some rough years, but couldn’t imagine not having any of these people on my life.
Here is the trick. You have to marry someone who has similar religious, financial, political and philosophical ideas as you. Not that you have to agree on every minute detail but have to overall be on the same page. You have to have discussed these things before hand so that you both know what you are getting into.
You don’t marry for looks, hell, you don’t even really marry for love. That feeling you have when you are first dating someone isn’t really love. It’s infatuation. That fades so very quickly. Now I do love my wife but it comes from the shared life experiences. True lasting love grows overtime as you live life.
TLDR: Marry the prettiest, least crazy girl that shares your beliefs.

I had so much dang fun with my wife over Christmas break and NY.
She is truly my best friend.
I wish everyone could be lucky enough to marry their best friend.
I feel sorry for those who had bad experiences with marriage.

Marriage doesn't have an upside. Barbaric tradition.

Absolutely.
Pursue her like you did when you dated and you will have a great time.

Herein lies the problem. Take a look at your mom & grandmother’s generation of women and modern women, there are far far fewer “right ones”. Not worth the risk these days.

A great marriage begins by taking the time to prepare yourself for your future spouse.
A great marriage returns what you put into it.

That’s the problem in today’s world, way too many people are worried about social media and the supposed instant gratification that comes with it. Social media as a whole has its benefits compared to not having it 30 years ago, but what it’s done to
marriages/relationships hasn’t been a good thing.

Nah, that’s not it. If you can brush your teeth while she takes a dump on the toilet right next to you (or vise-versa), then you know you are at the status of ultimate compatibility.

Is this how your marriage works? Lol

There’s very little return on investment

No, marriage is definitely worth it. But get married only when you are ready to settle down and raise a family.

Marriage doesn’t favor men - women have all the power now.

Might not be good for everyone, but we have been married for over 4 decades.
We have always been best friends and I would do it again for sure.
Funny thing - her father looked me in the eye and said, "Remember - no deposit, no return."
We both laughed, but we both had figured out that this was a permanent situation.

Idk
Trying to figure it out as I type this.
There's something about being alone that bothers me.
I have a busy life and have always seemed to land girls... but im almost 50
and I don't want to start over.
I've been married for 4 years now for the 2nd time.
Trying to figure it out.
I appreciate reading other people's experiences and opinions on this topic

funny thats a quote from TD season 1 and from Marty Hart who takes his family for granted and cheats on his beautiful wife (maggie is so hot) with hoors multiple times until she leaves him and he is single eating tv dinners alone
