Is marriage what you thought it would be? Do you have any disappointments?
Does it seem that it isn't as easy as you thought it would be?

Marriage is an existance of wins and losses, gives and takes, compromises. A good marriage requires trust and communications. Communications is the key and it consists primarily of listening. My wife and I in the early stages of our relationship had what we called "silent conversations" that's where you know of a situation coming up and you discuss it in your head filling in your partners comments. We found this would either make us angry without cause, or keep us from bringing up a subject because we already "knew" what the response would be. When we quit having those internal talks and started speaking our minds we found we were wrong about the other persons resonse most of the time. Communication is the absolute key to a perfect marriage. If you can't talk openly how can you do all the other things that come with marriage? Making love, raising a family and so on.
Is it easy? No. There are many times of give and take, some disappointments, some joys, some tears, some laughter. The key is to talk. If your man can't open up and talk about what's going on inside, it will eventually blow up and usually have nothing to do with the actual problem. He may be feeling trapped at work or overworked. Then the sweet wife comes along and asks for help with the dishes.... boom!
So talk, talk, talk. It's hard for us guys to learn how to do this, so ladies, have patience, don't get angry with us just love us and eventually we will open up.

There is nothing easy about marriage especially when there is only 1 person working on it...My ex was a huge disappointment but I realize now that it was not meant to be because we did not love each other...I am certain when I remarry it will be COMPLETELY different!!!

Marriage is actually a job – people actually have to work at it. Enjoy the good times (easy part) and work through a bad times (tough part). Anything worth while is not easy, especially marriage. If you have any reservations before hand, don't do it. Divorce is nasty baggage you don't want to carry around. 14 years and still going strong.

Marriage is great, everything I expected it to be. Its easy if you stop worrying that it won't be easy and find troubles that aren't even there. Sometimes we make our own disappointments. Enjoy your time. Life passes so quick its not worth creating troubles.

I love my marriage and I love my wife.
So many guys complain about marriage but the way i see it it's whatever you make of it. All marriages are different just like all husbands are different and all wives are different. I was lucky enough to get a good one! What she sees in me we'll never know!
