Your friend has a very good sense of humor! Really does!
Is it true? Well, only for those who got married for all the wrong reasons.
A person first needs to know what marriage is all about . The commitment behind it, the responsibilities and dealing with unknown.
Marriage today does not come in a cookie cutter format. Each relationship is different. You're going to have challenges and you're going to have to make difficult decisions while being married. How you handle them, how you learn from them and how you maintain an attitude that you both need to stay together.
Doing this will keep you away from "suffering."
Till death do you part! Best of luck!

Hey, this is what era now that people still go into engagement ??? Step 1 has been skipped many years back for most people. Step 3 all depend on how you and your partner believe in, many couples during courtship enjoying each other companion hope to spend every single minutes and seconds togther but when they get married, things start to change and two different DNA person staying together also not easy. How to maintain a strong marriage is through trust, respect, and many other factors.

It's a widely-spread rumour that marriage is difficult, and for the most part, at first, it probably is. People get used to being married in different ways, some hate having to spend their lives with somebody constantly and aren't used to not having their own space. Others enjoy the company of their spouses. Sure, things can be rough, and yeah, statistically, more marriages end in divorce than happiness - it depends on who you marry, though. If you find Mr. or Mrs. right, then you're set.

I'd say your friend is very right...
Of course the 3rd answer is an interpretation of the individual.
The first year of marriage is the adjustment year, getting to know the likes, wants, and habits of the other. It's a year of suffering through one another's pet-peeves.
Along comes children and you will suffer through the childbirth.
Making ends meet on pay day, lot's of suffering, doing without, harassing phone calls from creditors, maybe the cable shut off or the phone.
When the kids leave home, 1st day of school, college, their own place.
Getting old, aches and pains, nursing homes.
Suffering is part of life the same as joy. We all go through it at some time.

Not always true. but she has truth to that though. A marriage is not walk in the park. it takes a lot of work, commitment and willing to "negotiate" on issues. we are all different and individuals, so of course when two people get together there will always be clashes. Thta's why before you get married, you really have to be ready for such commitment, which many are not. why do you think there's so many divorces?

no,not in all cases but i will tell you this marriage is what you make of it ,if you expect it to be bad then 9 times out of 10 you get what you expect,but another thing if that man is who God has sent you then the only two rings you will get will be 1 and 2 and you will not have to worry about the 3 ring..................

Not necessarily. My first wife and I were miserable after the first 6 months together. Her parents, however, despite all the jokes you hear about in laws, were two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet, and as much in love and as happy with each other as teenagers. Also, I play cards with a couple of guys in their 70s who can't seem to shut up about their wives and where all they go together and do together. It's almost sickening. Everybody should be so happy.

No it's not true. It sounds like your friend is not happy in her marriage. To me it's about sharing everything. Holidays, Birthdays, regular days, memories, all with the one person that you love more than anything and are willing to do anything for them as they would for you.

I would say that person is not happy with their marriage. The 3rd one..suffering..uh no..maybe when you get old and your "suffering" with "old age". If you find your true love, marriage is not like your best friend is saying.

that would depend on who you marry. Number 3 does not apply to all marriages.
