Said nobody ever.
It boils down to simply this-—
-—Bad news: 54% of all marriages end up in divorce. 46% of Christian marriages end up in divorce.
—Good news: Only 1 in 1,596 marriages end up in divorce when the husband and wife pray/read their Bibles TOGETHER daily.
Big thing I didn’t fully understand: you’re joining another family.
If it’s hard work......learn to compromise. I did. She says what she wants or needs and voila! I agree. Compromise made. 😂😂😂😂👍. She is my best buddy and she has my back and I have hers.
1 Things Nobody Tells You About Marriage
10 This Is What Nobody Tells You About Marriage!
Why didn’t they put chapter 10 first? Not very well organized. I guess that is what nobody tells you about marriage. No one is organized or can get to the point in less than 10 paragraphs.
I was in a long term (20+ years) ‘marriage’ that was a disaster. Drug abuse, addiction, verbal abuse, infidelity, money laundering. I may as well have been ‘married’ to Hunter Biden, LOL!
I stayed until the Steps were off to college, then I kicked his sorry butt out. Best thing I ever did for myself.
Now, I am in another long term ‘relationship’ (13 years) and life has NEVER been better. I feel 100% ‘married’ and it is NO WORK at all. He’s perfect for me, and I for him.
And, we tell and/or show one another that every day.
Love does NOT have to be ‘work.’ Love does NOT have to be ‘hard.’ You just need to be your true self, you need to GROW UP, be happy with the life YOU have built for yourself and then love will find you. :)
Along with all the other religious and social connotations, marriage is a civil contract with very specific clauses included, which may vary with the venue in which the married couple find themselves. Generally, marriages which were contracted in one state are recognized in all other states, unless any of these specific clauses apply, then it may be necessary to either seek an exception, or the marriage is void within that state. This applies on an international basis as well.
Compromise in many things,yes
In some things,no.
This article is worthless.
Seriously, too many women focus all of their attention to "The Big Day" and almost nothing on what happens after other than "live happily ever after."
Too many men focus on sex and beer.
For a marriage to survive beyond the honeymoon phase, both people need to share common life goals, common dreams, and be willing to give up some of their own personal dreams and goals in favor of commonly agreed upon dreams and goals.
Who's career will take precedence if one person gets an out of town (or state) promotion?
How many kids, and how soon?
What debt (student, credit card, car, ring, wedding, etc.) is each person bringing into the marriage?
Remember, getting married is easy. Getting divorced is very hard.
I disagree with number 7. That was our easiest year by far. 31 years so far. Children are what make for the tougher years IMO. The first year was like extended dating.
11. Most divorces are initiated by women. Up to 80%, if she makes more money 90%.
Women today treat marriage as a romantic event. Once the real work begins they think the green is greener. They’ve become narcissistic and don’t even care if there’s children involved. Then they go out on the dating scene and are shocked it’s not like when they were single in their 20’s. Being 30 something, divorced, with kids, isn’t something most men are interested in. Especially when her attitude is still all about her. They believe men should value a woman that ‘has it all’, a career, house, kids, etc.. They have no idea what a man really wants.
The State is a third party to the contract. Ignore that at your peril.
The State asserts that their role supersedes any moral or religious aspect you brought to the marriage.
The State is financially incentivized to have the contract broken.
The wife is incentivized to break the contract.
” nothing can stop you!’
Yes, an unfaithful or severely abusive spouse can. No matter how hard you try.
After they eat wedding cake all wives lose sexual desire.
It seems like today the couple puts much more effort and thought into planning the wedding than into planning the marriage.
#1 - you must do everything your wife says, no matter what
#2 - she might not be happy anyway and decides to divorce you
Exceptions? You may be happily married to a wife in a insular religious community. They do exist but they're not common.
“However, what nobody tells you is that marriage is not always easy.”
Ridiculous statement. Who thinks marriage is “always easy”? I’ve never heard of anyone who said marriage is always easy nor anyone who ever assumed it was. Anyone who has parents has seen them fight, go through rough patches, maybe get divorced or at least HEARD of divorce, broken families, child support etc. What do they think THAT is about?
Daughter #2 and hubby just celebrated their first anniversary last month, and doing good!
Mrs. Telescope and me just celebrated our 42nd.
I agree with the article. It ain’t easy sometimes, but we can’t live without each other!
