If you are married to the right person, marriage is awesome.
Married to the wrong person, life sucks.
Been there, done that, learned my lesson.
Marriage is awesome

I don't. People get lax and don't put as much effort into the relationship once they're married. One should accept the other for who he/she is, but it doesn't usually happen that way. Men usually get tired and bored after a while and end up either cheating, or looking at porn. um... what else? Oh, yeah, the person you marry turns out to not really be who you thought he was before you married him. When people date, they put on a good front, but once the "I do's" have been said, the truth comes out. Marriage is supposed to be wonderful and sacred, but more times than not, it's made into something sleezy, disrespectful, and cheap.....***My honest answer

I do. I've been married for a year and most of my family didn't think that we would make it that long. I knew in my heart that I had met the love of my life and wanted to share the rest of my life with him. Not that this is a fairy tale or anything. I mean, there are valleys in every marriage. The beauty of it is the companionship and unconditional love.

I think marriage is a wonderful thing if you have found the right person.

i do. u know why? here's the "epiphany" i had about marriage recently (i have a bf, not married yet! :D)
ok, so there is a man and a woman. and there are certain roles that each person plays, and needs to take care of, while taking care of each other's needs and wants. they have to be able to satisfy each other, and communicate, and trust, and use their LOVE to fuel the relationship to Grow, and Learn about each other everyday. always. continuously. And, the thing about marriage is that it *Should* be FREEING ----> now, you are FREE to Give and Receive love, with NO fear of rejection...! so now, u can buy as many flowers as u want, u can shower each other w/ affection and presents and love and care, w/o worrying if that person will run off, treat you badly, or not appreciate you! THAT is what marriage should be... but i think people these days dont' realize that a relationship takes work to maintain, but it is a satisfying work. that person is WORTH EVERYTHING. that is why u married them! therefore, as you celebrate your joy, you rejoice in your love for each other.
once one person stops working, changes feelings, gets lazy, too comfortable... then the dynamic changes. u have to keep on working to make that dynamic a Positive one..but again, it is worth it. i can't wait to find and experience that with my boyfriend, if indeed he is the right one. which i feel that he is. *BUT* our dating period of 1 year and 1/2 (we are at 9 months now) is what is going to Prove to me that he can be a Good Husband, and I can be a Good Wife. we have to prove to eachother that we can work on things, and get thru problems together, and communicate. that will show me if he is indeed the one i want to Love, FREELY. :) it makes me excited and happy and i can't wait until i can experience that. Marriage should be a positive, healthy, and happy thing in your life. if it's not, either work harder, or find someone who will make you Want to work harder.
good luck to us all!

Absolutely!!! I've been married 7 1/2 years. We dated 4 years before that. When you find the one you are truly meant to be with, nothing else can beat that. . .except for having kids. I've got two. Couldn't be happier!!! But it take a lot of hard work to keep your marriage good and happy. It doesn't just do it itself.

marriage can be a wonderfull thing depending on the person that you are married to, I have just come out of a very horrible marriage, but in my heart I believe that if I find a nice person for myself, marriage will and can be a wonderfull thing, one thing i learnt from life, never get married to improve a relationship that is falling, never to ease insecurities, never marry if there is not trust, never marry if there are secrets that effect you and never marry if you think it will give you lost happiness, marry because you love each other and want to share and spend the rest of you life together!!!!!! good luck!!!!

i'm not married yet but i believe marriage is a wonderful thing. if you're asking this question based upon a desire to get married maybe you should reconsider. people who are thinking of marrying should have no doubts that spending the rest of their life with their loved one with vows made to each other.would be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Marriage can be the most wonderful thing around. You have to be sure to have mutual respect, honesty and devotion, and most of all trust for one another. Without any one of these components, it just won't work. If you're thinking about, it, please take your time. Rome was not built in a day. It takes time to build a lasting relationship.

Well I am not married but I think that it is a beautiful thing. When you are with someone who is committed to it like you are. I am only 21 and I can't wait to get married because there is nothing like waking up to someone you love so much for the rest of you life.
