re: Would marriage rates plummet even further if young guys knew the reality of married life ?

I doubt there's many examples of an ultimatum where the woman says marry me or I'm done with you forever, then the man complies, then they live happily afterwards. These days marriage doesn't seem to mean much to women other than they believe they've got a guy trapped, even if they don't think of it exactly in those terms that's what it is and they'll realize it.
I've seen a lot of examples where trouble doesn't start in a relationship until after the marriage begins. Also the vast majority of women put on a ton of weight right afterwards. I've looked up probably 10 past girlfriends who went on to marry and about 9 or all 10 probably put on 50 plus lbs and we're talking about women that were thin/athletic not "curvy". Now, if I could round all them up at once in their prime when I was banging them I'd probably let all 10 live here and share me. If one or two started acting up or getting fat they'd be replaced.

I think the media and social media has got the messaging that married life is not what it is all cracked up to be.
The ones that still enter into marriage are either blinded by this information or are religious types that believe marriage is the way.

No argument there .
But i believe the premise of this thread was that with things the way they are now, in the real world- marriage is a terrible idea.. b/c there’s not anything that you , or I, or the A-hole down the street is gonna be able to do to get government out of marriage in this lifetime .

Sorry big dog but that’s not as universal a problem as you’d hoped. Lol

Fair point. Try not being such a sensitive girly man and it won’t bother you so much.

Marriage is good. Many people aren’t marriageable. Don’t marry those people.

Just got married Friday, couldn't be happier about the decision. We have owned a house together for two years, so effectively been married, and none of the below has been my experience.
Some of you guys just marry terrible people and then project it on the entire female population.

That whole thing sounds pretty bleak, but has not been my experience.
My wife and I are both 64. Just yesterday, she woke me up at 2:30 am because she got horny.
Trust each other. Respect each other. Be each other's best friend. Love each other. It ain't that hard.

Marriage, like all things, is a balance.
On balance, I have had way more of a happy marriage than times I haven't (and the majority of those bad times were of my doing).
If you (or your spouse) are inflexible, unwilling to compromise or put in the work, you will both be miserable.

All of my wives have been Godly women, albeit not fundamentalist Baptists
I feel sorry for weak men that attract terrible wives.
Being miserable is no way to go through life.

They would be outsourced to places where the west hasn’t corrupted their women.

Fix the overly lopsided family court bullshite and divorce rates drop.
Stop looking at being at home to raise the kids as some burden, but as a gift and duty.
If a spouse chooses not to work, or be under employed, that's their problem when assets get split.

OP isn't wrong. I'm warning my son when the time comes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm the happiest I've ever been, but if I could do it all over again, I would never have gotten married. Biggest regret of my life.

Married 10 years. My wife brings something to the table. She is my office manager and my best friend. See, if you marry someone you have no activities in common, it’s dumb. She has proved our worth and moves our small business to $5 million a year producer. She deserves praise

For the most part, American women are sluts. The rate of infidelity by married American women is shockingly higher than any other civilized nation.
Even the “good” wives mentioned in this thread have most likely cheated on their husbands during the dating, engagement or marriage stages.
Women are such sluts that genetic testing for fatherhood at birth is gaining actual political traction.
Women lead the stats when it comes to initiating divorce or having an affair. Men make a much larger mess when they act up in married life.
I can’t tell you how many times a wife cheats on their husband, gets divorced and thinks the new relationship will backfill some emotional void. Rarely does that work and the woman will try to get her ex husband back.
There is immense pressure for the young husband to perform financially, and when all their time and effort go to chase the almighty dollar. The wife, feeling abandoned, will actively seek the companionship of an older, more financially secure man……or seek the companionship of as many men as possible, with no regard to educational, societal bounds or earning potential.
All that said - my old managing senior partner from back in the day was married - divorced because he was nailing a paralegal - got busted - he slept with hundreds of women post divorce……I visited with him last month…..he is 80s….single and alone.
He point blank said he would rather have an adulteress wife decades ago than being so lonely at such a late stage of life. He says his infidelity was a massive mistake and the impact is still felt today.
Somehow, we as a society have failed.

Any male who is a high income earner with substantial assets is an idiot to get married in this climate. You are essentially signing a contract to give away half your shite for any reason. The courts are also skewed in females favor regardless of transgressions.

Very happily married for almost 21 years here. Some of yall need to do a better job of picking your wife.

It sounds like you have bigger issues with your spouse.
Does the honeymoon phase end? Yes, that’s normal. It’d be odd and fake if it didn’t.
Sex is one part and an important part.
Enjoying time together is what I see why most marriages fail. They simply can’t stand to be in the same room with one another. You must enjoy each others company. Want to go get coffee, go on a walk, see a movie, and yes, have sex
