Do you think that the work that a relationship requires is worth the effort. Personally, if I had known 25 years ago what I know now I would have stayed single forever.

Yes, I believe the work is worth it. I have a few people in my family who have been married two or three times. Always the optomists! Sometimes love is like a scratch card - you don't know if you have a winner unless you go through the effort to reveal what lies beneath. But what sweet companionship and joy it is when you find that winner!!

Yes. The work that a relationship requires is definitely worth the effort....provided that both partners are doing the work. A marriage is a full-time job that both partners must participate in. If the relationship is all one-sided, then it's a bust and will not work no matter how much effort the working side puts in. However, if both people are committed to making the relationship succeed, then it is definitely worth it. I'm grateful that my husband and I are committed to our marriage. Although we have always loved one another, we've both fallen out of love with each other...just never at the same time thankfully! With the right partner, marriage is a wonderful institution. (And we've been committed for 12 years now!)

That's up to you dude! I'm married 29 years, and yes it's a hell of a lot of work, but the payoffs are worth every second. If you can't do the work move on, but how long can you live on meaningless booty calls and pointless one night stands. That gets old too. Not to mention the std's, and emotional emptyness. You've got a bad case of " The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome. Take stock of what you really have. A partner, a lover, a life worth living.

I think that any decent relationship requires effort. Most things in life that are worth having, do not come to you freely. You gotta work at them. And if you pick the right person, getting along and staying together should not be that much work. Especially if both people are reasonable and committed.

Yes it's worth it with the right person. I am divorced but I would remarry if I met the right person.

I agree with you completely. And 25 years ago would have been about right for me too. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get married.

I guess I got lucky, my husband kisses my *** (but only if I haven't sat on a public toilet) he is stupidly in love with me, and I gave him no reason to be that way.
