That is a understatement,not only is it hard work it's also enough to drive you crazy. You hear a lot of men on here that talks bad about marriage and some women to. I been married 3 times and on my own in between and i can honestly say i don't know why anyone would prefer to be on their own when they can have someone to share their life with. You men out there once you get passed the fear of being with just one woman for the rest of your life the rest is a piece of cake. Most married people if ask would they do it over again and they would say yes.

Some people don't know that it involves work in the first place. It is hard work, especially when their are children. I think people often confuse marriage and family. You can have a great family & a not so great marriage. It's easy to get so caught up in busy daily lives. For anyone that is married or even in a committed relationship, they need to take time out for just themselves & remember why they fell in love in the first place. Alone time with your partner is just as important as family time. Anything worth having is worth working for.

I had always heard that was true. I used to think so. In my first marriage that was very true. 18 years of struggle, accomodation, sacrifice... I worked very, very hard at it. It still failed.
I no longer believe this is true. I've been happily married now for seven years. There have been struggles. Sickness, injury, financial woes, children issues... everything conceivable to stress a relationship. But inside? Between her and me? None. No sacrifices. No issues. No arguments. And this between two stubborn, hard-headed, determined people.
I love my wife. It's not a burden to be faithful. I want to be with just her. I worry each day that I'm not doing enough... that I'm not holding up my end. She feels the same way. We end up trying, on a daily basis, to "outdo" the other in taking care of business, showing affection, being considerate...
As an example, I have a friend in trouble. I thought it might be a good idea to go out with him, shoot some pool, talk a bit... be a friend. This morning on the way to work, my wife said, out of the blue: "You know, you should plan on not coming home Thursday night (her day off). You ought to go out with Matt. Spend the night at his house if you think you should. He needs a friend right now."
I didn't ask permission. I didn't even have to bring it up. Understand? I'm hers to share. And she's mine.

yes it can be. For a marriage to work requires balance, and like all things it takes work to keep things in balance. Hard work? it depends on how well it is maintained....
I consider myself blissfully married, however there are times that a bit more effort to keep things balanced.
Also relationships require attention, you can't sit around and expect it to remain the same all the time. You need to be involved and nurture the relationship for it to work and grow.

Marriage isn't specifically hard work; it has ups and downs as do all things in life. If you make it hard, then that is what it will be.

It's the hardest thing you'll ever do.

It's a 24/7 commitment and it needs constant repair and care to maintain a loving marriage - from both sides.

The hard work in a serious relationship does not begin until the vows are exchanged and the honeymoon is over.

Heck yes it is. It is a continous work of art. You have to continuously remold yourself and adapt to change . Its hard work but worth it in the end.
