Marriage: Good, Bad, or Just Plain Ugly?

Discuss

My little sister is getting married April 28th, and I haven't done a poll in ages:up:

 

The real answer is yes. All three.

 

It takes a effort just to get to bad. Good is hard work.

 

Jeez...you guys are fast...

 

And here I was thinking you'd found you a woman who could drink that much alcohol.

 

as long as she's not doing something stupid like getting married at 21 she'll be fine

 

Marriage isn't all bliss and happiness all of the time, there are definitely things that you'll have to learn to compromise on, and when to pick your battles. Women and men think differently in most cases, so you both have to learn to give a little, and things will work out pretty good. For us things have been relatively argument free, however when you throw a baby in the mix, it is a real test of how mentally / emotionally strong you really are together.

Hope it all goes well for her, and if she / her husband truly are committed to one another, it should go just fine.

 

I wouldn't go back to the single life for 2 women. 1 to work and 1 to stay home. Marriage is great as long as both people realize it is 100% from each person.

 

It's number 2, (pun included).

btw, I think there's a man law that states...... Never say, I haven't' done a poll in ages.

 

Great. I'm supposed to get married later this year.

My buddy just had a girl and has been married for like a year. He is freaking out and telling me I'm all done.

 

I'm lovin' it. My wife is understanding, and it's nice to be haniging out with your best friend all the time.

I can't stand/understand people that always bitch about how bad being married is, but don't have the balls to get a divorce.

 

Off to the hole.....

 

It can be difficult, especially if you have been single for a long time. Add road racing and track days in the mix along with the a ready made family situation and it doesn't (didn't for me) work.
Yes I am partly to blame......:tut:

Well marriage fell apart and we divorced but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wouldn't have made it as far as I did if it weren't for her so I owe her a lot.

She and I are still friends so that helps.

It is hard work making a marriage last.

 

It takes more than 100% on both sides. On her bad day you have to make up for it. It's knowing going in that it is a commitment til death do us part. Know going in that finances, kids, religion, and inlaws all come with that little gold band. Make sure you are both aware of each others expectations. When you think you have given enough, give more. Little insignificant crap is little and insignificant to you but maybe not to your partner. It's hard but well worth it.

It's easier to beat cancer and win the tour de france seven times that to stay married. Ask Lance Armstrong. He may not admit it but evidently it's true.

 

What I want to know is how many put "there is nothing better" because your wives read the board

 

This is a true statement: Women will marry a man that they feel they can mold into the man they want. A man will marry the woman how she is not what he can make her. So the woman gets mad when the man does not change and the man gets mad because the woman changes because the man is not changing. This was a discussion about 6 of us had over many beers and it ended up being a yelling match.

 

My wife likes that I ride and she loves going to the track with me. I actually enjoy the road trip to the track and back especially if it is dark. I'll tell you this, Trying to drive and stay between the ditches while your wife is getting frisky is way more of a challenge than going around a race track.

 

I put that and I doubt my ex reads this board.

 

Does she have any unmarried sisters?
