I do agree with the quote and I am accepting it positively. Marriage is a great challenge in life and I am looking forward to it.

I do not agree, how can something so beautiful make you suffer?
That's a terrible way to think.

I DEFINITELY agree to the negative side. I have been suffeRING for 17 1/2 years now and I'm waiting for it to get better - maybe when the kids are grown and out of the house.
Good luck with that one - I hope you have really found the right person. Otherwise, marriage will be more of a challenge than you could ever imagine.

Well if you go into marriage thinking its 'suffering' then you're kinda sorta starting out on a negative note if you ask me. Marriage is all about ups and downs, compromising, relating to another person and acceptance of that person regardless of their shortcomings and failings. Life is not perfect and marriage is no where close to perfection either. Marriage is as difficult as you want it to be. Sure, our differences stand out more than anything else but being open minded and understanding your partner above all else is what makes a marriage tolerable but its both of you cooperating and your willingness to make the relationship work is what endures the test of time. Is it suffering? No, I wouldn't say that. But its not easy either.

Ive been married for 24years, I am happy that I have had someone who accepts me for what I am, and who I am...and life itself has a lot of ups and downs, but if you have someone that your suppose to be with, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with the personal growth that comes along with it...I consider my wife my best friend, we may not always agree or see eye to eye, but when the chips are down, how many people can you really count on to be there when you need them..not many...Aristotle said that a true friend is "A single soul dwelling in two bodies". That is how I view my wife. When a person has bad feelings, its probably a good time to take some responsibility for yourself and just communicate this, might stop some of the "suffering" you speak of

I have never heard this quote. I would not say suffering. Marriage is a roller coaster ride, you have two different people with different thoughts and different ways of doing things. If you have the same goals in life and morals it works no matter how bumpy the ride gets.
If you can hold on during the rocky part of the roller coaster ride, the up hill part is exhilarating.

Don't agree;
After being happily married for 16yrs, we've had our bumps, but as long as you can still talk to each other in a civil manner, there are no crises in life that can topple a marriage.
OMHO, failed marriages are a product of weak committment, broken personalities or lack of foresight. If your relationship is in trouble, look to your faults first, not your partner's - that way, you can have a clear conscience if it does end.

If you marry the person because you are maddly in love, why do you expect to suffer. Two people who are truely in love should not have to suffer for any reason when they get married unless they got married for the wrong reason. The wrong reason would be that they were not ready to get married, or they were not a true couple and know that they will not be able to last for life.

I disagree. If you think Suffering has anything to do with marriage, perhaps you should marry. Marriage is about Love, honesty, trust, amongst many other things, but suffering isnt one of them.

All three are true.... But it is up to you to make the best of it . I'm married to an absolutely wonderful women who still puts me through hell from time to time, but, I wouldn't change a thing. It all comes down to LOVE. If you love someone enough, anything is possible and the universe is at your fingertips.
