I'm not married. Honestly, I don't think I wanna be. With divorce rates as high as they are [57%] is it really worth it?

I do sometimes, but I made that choice to marry the man I love. He is flawed, but so am I. Nobody is perfect, and if people realized that, the divorce rate would be much lower.

I were married for 22 years now. My mothers and fathers and my husband's mothers and fathers married for 40 seven and 40 six years and all of our many siblings (7 extra mutually) are all married from 8 - 22 years besides. i do no longer be apologetic about it in any respect and none of them do both. Now question me on a nasty day... basically kidding. Marriage is a tremendous variety of work and a tremendous variety of excitement. this is the most perfect and infrequently the worst element I have finished. I have discovered the most about myself and existence by potential of marriage and parenting and am a more effective powerful individual from doing both. i'm prepared on my husband and am very happy we stuck it out even by potential of the very not basic circumstances (all marriages have them in some unspecified time sooner or later). we've a existence mutually and a historic previous and he's my very maximum perfect chum. The sex is going in cycles. We had lots interior the starting up, then were given busy with artwork and children and existence so it diminished some (at circumstances lots). Now that the children are older (little ones) and we cope with existence and stress more effective powerful, the sex is tremendous, there's a tremendous variety of it, and it really is extremely relaxing. so some distance as getting married again. If something surpassed off to my husband i'm no longer particular. His shoes might want to be very troublesome to fill.

Yes, it is worth it! But I believe in long courtships first and NO living together beforehand either. Statistics show that actually people who try living together first end up not getting married most of the time. Marriage is a commitment - - - and you CHOOSE to stay committed. Both the husband and wife need to be considerate and loving towards the other all the time. Marriage is about giving, not about selfishness. As long as both agree on that, there shouldn't be any conflict you can't overcome.

No not at all. I have a great marriage and He is the best thing that ever happened to me and to my life. I only regret not marrying him sooner and meeting him earlier in my life. Yes my marriage is worth it because the word divorce is not in our vocabulary and not spoken in our home and marriage. NOT ALLOWED HERE! Marriage is what you make of it and to me if you marry for the right reasons and you work on your marriage at all times to make it what it is supposed to be and you work on being the spouse you need to be for the other person this cuts way down on the divorce rates and percentages. God being the center of the marriage and relationship and forgiveness of each others faults is key too!

Only you can answer that.
Marriage is hard, as you have heard from these other answers. There will be times in the best of marriages that you regret being married. That's because we are emotional beings. We get angry, we are sad, we're joyful.
Marriage is worth it but are you ready to make a marriage worth it? Are you ready for "better or worse?" Sometimes "worse" makes "better" much better.
Hope that makes sense--don't knock it, but don't try to cheapen it either.

I regret getting married because we got married for the wrong reason, I got pregnant. I think if you find the right person and really communicate about what you want and are able to stick through the hard times you can make it. I think too many people give up because its "easy".

I have been married 20 years now. In my worst and most angry moments, I have allowed myself to wonder what would have happened had I not married my wife. But those moments are few and far between. You ask is it really worth it? My answer is yes, and the day you find someone you can't imagine living without, someone that you are willing to put yourself on the line and take that risk for, I would bet that you'll think its worth it, too.

When we were having rough times there were moments when I regretted it. He has turned out to be my source of strength and he's been there through good and bad. I can tell him anything and he accepts me for all of my faults including health problems. I don't have any other person in my life I can say treats me the way he does. Marriage is something you both have to work at. If you really love that person you can find a way to make it work...

Yes I regret getting married, but somehow would like to find the right person next time I still have hope!

Oh yes, husband #1. I was pregnant, we were young. But you know back in the days that was the thing you did. It lasted less than 7 years.
When my daughter found out she was pregnant I told her not to marry him if she did not love him. I did not want her to regret it later in life.
She is now married to another man.
