Said nobody ever.
Actually there was a time when that was the norm.
It boils down to simply this-—
-—Bad news: 54% of all marriages end up in divorce. 46% of Christian marriages end up in divorce.
—Good news: Only 1 in 1,596 marriages end up in divorce when the husband and wife pray/read their Bibles TOGETHER daily.
Big thing I didn’t fully understand: you’re joining another family.
If it’s hard work......learn to compromise. I did. She says what she wants or needs and voila! I agree. Compromise made. 😂😂😂😂👍. She is my best buddy and she has my back and I have hers.

Why didn’t they put chapter 10 first? Not very well organized. I guess that is what nobody tells you about marriage. No one is organized or can get to the point in less than 10 paragraphs.
I was in a long term (20+ years) ‘marriage’ that was a disaster. Drug abuse, addiction, verbal abuse, infidelity, money laundering. I may as well have been ‘married’ to Hunter Biden, LOL!
I stayed until the Steps were off to college, then I kicked his sorry butt out. Best thing I ever did for myself.
Now, I am in another long term ‘relationship’ (13 years) and life has NEVER been better. I feel 100% ‘married’ and it is NO WORK at all. He’s perfect for me, and I for him.
And, we tell and/or show one another that every day.
Love does NOT have to be ‘work.’ Love does NOT have to be ‘hard.’ You just need to be your true self, you need to GROW UP, be happy with the life YOU have built for yourself and then love will find you. :)
Along with all the other religious and social connotations, marriage is a civil contract with very specific clauses included, which may vary with the venue in which the married couple find themselves. Generally, marriages which were contracted in one state are recognized in all other states, unless any of these specific clauses apply, then it may be necessary to either seek an exception, or the marriage is void within that state. This applies on an international basis as well.
1. The people who have sex the most frequently are the people who are married, Christian, and attend church regularly.
2. The people who reporting being happiest with the sex lives are the people who are --- guess --- married, Christian, and attend church regularly.
3. The women who reporting experiencing the Big O the most frequently are the women who are --- wait for it --- married, Christian, and attend church regularly.
Good point. How you get along with the spouse’s extended family can impact your marriage.
Compromise in many things,yes
In some things,no.
Maybe you’re joking a bit with us.
But there have been times when I give in, and bite my tongue, just to avoid some arguments.
Some things are inconsequential. Some are major issues.
You have to pick your battles and realize you’re not going to get your way every time.
I’m happy for you, Diane.
Sometimes it’s true: All you need is love!
My dad told me that. When you get married you are in effect marrying the wife and her family. I got a good wife who came from a good family. Been married 32 years so far.
This article is worthless.
Except in the marriage vows.
Seriously, too many women focus all of their attention to "The Big Day" and almost nothing on what happens after other than "live happily ever after."
Too many men focus on sex and beer.
For a marriage to survive beyond the honeymoon phase, both people need to share common life goals, common dreams, and be willing to give up some of their own personal dreams and goals in favor of commonly agreed upon dreams and goals.
Who's career will take precedence if one person gets an out of town (or state) promotion?
How many kids, and how soon?
What debt (student, credit card, car, ring, wedding, etc.) is each person bringing into the marriage?
Remember, getting married is easy. Getting divorced is very hard.
👍. It happens for some. Guess we’re blessed. We’ve been together coming up on 40 years(😲) in Dec and married for 37. Guess it stuck. 😂👍
