For married men only?

Question

At what moment did you decide you wanted to get married to your wife? What made you choose her over all your other past relationships? Do you regret your decision to marry her?

Please ladies do not respond. All women say the same thing and it is usually something cheesy and romantic. I want a mans perspective.

Answer 1

her core values are what cinched it for me
her belief in family and her self
she is not selfish nor is she materialistic ( a rare find now a days ), she is generous, non judgmental
do i have regrets, on some days after major arguments
but then i realize we have them less and less as communication has become they key to expressing ourselves and our needs, wants and desires, i have also matured much to the extent i view women differently and have little slack for them like when i was much younger
i am far less tolerant of any issues with respect of it being a female issue
i just don't believe you can use that as a fallback position to justify why you do something wrong
and that was one key in going forward with her verses my ex's in the past, since my tolerance for drama has gone way down, it's was a deal killer for any women if she had it, in a sense any women with deep emotional scars, conflicts or lack of purpose in life was one to be avoided at all costs

Answer 2

What made me choose her over others - we had more common goals,values, background. I would take time to choose and preferred long term relationships. I was never into one night stands. I also valued honesty above all and she is very honest person.

Do I regret- sometimes I do when we get into major arguments but most of the time I am happy. Also having
too much in common sometimes restricts you from growing
in the long term.

Answer 3

I met her when I was 18. Married her at 21. Divorced at 39. Now Im alone and it sucks. If you think you found the right one, go for it. Better to have loved and lost than never ,etc.
Oh, yes I did think at a time that I made the wrong choice, However I really miss her.

Answer 4

I waited 32 years before I asked someone to marry me. I grew up believing that one day.. when I met my wife to be, that I would know in my heart that she was the one chosen for me. Though many girls wanted to date me, I refused because as I prayed I didnt feel they were the one. One day, when I first met my wife, I prayed about her and I felt strongly that she was the one for me. I asked her to marry me. And she said yes. We've been married for 20 years now. She has been such a wonderful lover and friend all these years. I could never thank the Lord enough for her. Our marriage has been truly wonderful. God bless dear.

Answer 5

As a man, I crave affirmation. I need to know that I am important and that what I contribute to the relationship matters. It is important that I be shown and told that I am valuable. My wife has done that for me from the time we met 15 years ago. The fact that she made me feel needed did it for me. Her being beautiful didn't hurt things either. :)

Answer 6

I decided when I was too young and my sisters, mother and wife pressured me in to it. I chose her because that is who I was in love with at that moment in time. I do regret it because marriage destroys all relationships including soul mates. Then again I don't regret it because I love my children more than anything. This world is full of lies and marriage is one of them!!! Is that honest enough for you?

Answer 7

When she TOLD me I wanted to. She would run the others away and would scare them into not dating me. I DO regret marrying, but feel trapped, controlled and frustrated. If it were to do again, I would NOT. I hate marriage.

Answer 8

My willingness to let fate make decisions for me and to follow God's plans for my life were the catalysts for my marriage to my wife.

Answer 9

Still Married to the wrong woman. :o(

Answer 10

When we bought a house together. Talk about commitment.
