Sort of related to Valentine’s Day: Marriage question

For those who are married, are you happily married? Or do you regret it? Would you still recommend marriage? I’ve seen so many terrible marriages that it has given me a very bleak outlook on the future of marriage in general.

If you marry the right person, it's fantastic. If you don't, it's hell.

Everyday being married is not sunshine and rainbows. Marriage takes work but if you have the right person, it isn't all that hard.

A drinking buddy of mine calls divorce a "stock split". The couple he has gone through have not worked out too well for him.

good marriages don't just happen, it takes work

Marriage can be tough, especially if you don’t communicate needs. Too many people would rather give up than try to fix their marriage

After 27 years of marriage this is a FACT. Peaks and valleys. Enjoy the peaks and minimize the valleys.

There are ups and downs. The ups outweigh the downs by far.

There's good ones and bad ones. Choose wisely.

Set healthy boundaries for yourself, and let them be known.
Get good at having difficult conversations.
Get good at saying and hearing the word, "no."
Empathize.
Understand that it's not your job to make your significant other happy.
It's all work. Take care of yourself, and you won't be unhappy. If both of you do this, your marriage won't be unhappy.

Marriage has its challenges no doubt and sometimes it feels more like a chore than choice but the benefits definately out weigh the alternative. It would suck to be 50 plus years old without a family of my own to talk to, interact with, and support. Find a woman who will be a good mother to your kids and you will be happy you did. Run from the women who look at life as if men exist to take care of them and think they sit on the throne.

Very happily married. We are better at some things than others, but our communication is on point 99% of the time. That makes the tough things easier to deal with.

Not bad at all. Im pretty much able to do what I want though . My wife is not a controlling bitch like some of my friends and relatives.

The OT baws will try to tell you it's magical if you just marry the right person. Truth is, every marriage goes through stages. The beginning us awesome. Kids create a completely different dynamic between a husband and wife. You spend the years raising your children in something completely different than when you said I Do. Then you have to discover each other again once the kids leave.
Each stage brings it's own level of problems. It is true that if you have the right person it is EASIER but you will always have issues. My wife (of 25 years this year) always joke about how neither of us would date the other's younger self. It's all about how you handle that growth together. Many don't do well and end up checking out after a few years. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Happily married and you couldn't pay me to be a single man out here today. Women these days different. They out here pegging.
We've had our rough patches but we work through it. I married someone that has similar interests as I do so it's almost like having a good friend that I occasionally need breaks from.

Its not just marriage, two people living together for years and years takes a LOT of work. I have great friends but I wouldn't want to live with them.
For a marriage to work it takes two people that understand the other one is not perfect and they are willing to put in work themselves to make it work and have some grace for issues that come up. If you aren't both that way, its fricking tough.

Picking a partner (for marriage or otherwise) is picking a set of unresolvable issues. Make sure they're issues you can deal with forever, because they're unlikely to ever go away.
