I sometimes do. I've been married 12 years and have two kids. Sometimes it all seems so hard. The kids sure don't make it easier. Sometimes I wish I didn't have any responsibilities and wish I could just do what I want. But I've chosen this life. I love my husband and kids. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like without them. It'd be great to have some peace and quiet. But then I remember how miserable I was before I found my husband. I really wanted someone to share my life with and no matter how hard it seems right now, I can't give up.
Thanks for this question. I've been thinking about this alot lately. Hope things go for you the way you want them to.

It doesn't bring on hardly any more problems that you wouldn't experience in a regular relationship. You can still have children and arguements with someone you're just living with and not married to. I think people do not value marriage the way they should. From a Catholic stand point, marriage is a sacrament. It is a union between two people, which means that you are selfless in the relationship and always giving to each other. With God in the sacrament, you will always have help to get through any problems. I'm actually kind of surprised at this question because I always thought that marriage rates had gone down and people weren't getting married as much or at least until later in life. But as I mentioned before, expect for legal action in case of divorce (which can be stopped by the prenup) there's not neccesarily much difference. And you hardly find anyone who likes being alone, so why not get married and get the tax break?

Not at all, probably because I never related to dating as a situation wherein I had the right to shirk responsibilities.
This is the big problem regarding relationships.
Too many people think that in the "dating pool," one doesn't have to maintain any measure of personal integrity or responsibility. Basically, they think you're just free to talk any kind of smack you like, because, after all, you're not MARRIED to the other person.
A marriage doesn't really present any more responsibilities than life does in general. By that, I mean:
- keeping your word; doing and meaning what you say.
- considering the feelings of others.
- having a sense of compromise.
- having a sense of sympathy and forgiveness.
I was not significanly any different when I was dating than after I got married.

I would have to say no. I like being married and all that entails. You always have that special someone to share lifes bumps and glories with. You can laugh, cry, be crazy, be quiet, and they just flow with you. It's like finding the missing piece of yourself when you find the right mate. If your feeling isolated, or that your marriage is not making you happy then perhaps some counseling is in order. We all go through bumps, and the first 5 years are the hardest.

Miss the dating scene? No way. Too much drama for me. I hated trying to figure out which guys liked me for me and which ones just wanted in my pants. With my husband, I know he loves who I am as a person and loves whats in my pants! I cherish my marital responsibilities. We have a great life that keeps getting better. If you're feeling caged in, get out and do something fun.(Not dating, hopefully fun with your spouse, friends or alone) Other people don't make us happy, happiness is something within.

I think it all has to do with how you look at it. In my opinion, dating actually has more responsibility attached to it than marriage does. There's a lot more drama and irritations to be had with dating - or so that's been my experience.
I love being married! I wouldn't trade my marriage for the world.

resposibilty is enjoyd when we have spouse to share it
but if a spouse cannot or is not taking proper care of you and always running from resposibilities or bring excuse for responsibility then it could be hard
Dating is fun but marriage is love and a deep relation.
both cannot be comapred
dating gives a person to enjoy with for sometime,
marriage gives companion to rely on

Personally, I found dating emotionally stressful, time consuming and expensive. I was, and remain, delighted to accept the responsibilities of a permanent marriage relationship.

When I was married I loved it.The feeling of having someone there with you was great.Now that I'm divorced dating is a pain.There are so many things that you have to deal with in order to date someone these days.It sure is different than it was 20 something years ago.
