Wish I could get my hands on a recent quote I saw, something to the effect of
"if you want boring, stay single and screw as many women as you can. For excitement try staying married to the same person for 50 years"
What I miss the most on a personal level is that warm spoon snuggle in the middle of the night.
She's there for you, you're there for her. You're both there for the kids.
Brainwise, men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's how we all got here.
I admit I have the need to experience the sleepless nights of child rearing.
I'm not dumping on you Lazamataz (haven't done a post search) but this article sounds like homo-agenda.
Been married 30 years, raised two kids, and it just keeps getting better and better:)

Hey sweetheart! Can you come by and give our friend Laz some encouragement?
I'm thinking I might just print this out, so I have something to scrub my toilet with.
Most of the male royals have the very same problem...NO GOOD IN BED!!!
If you asked the single ones what they -really- want, I'm sure the answer would be "A husband". Yet, to my eyes, all of these single, hateful, shallow creatures are about as desirable as a kick in the crotch. Some are fairly attractive, as well, they just have nothing to offer a guy other than sex and spitefulness. And they wonder..."I'm single, no men want me. What's wrong with them?".
Still haven't figured out what Mrs. Wbill has in common with them, other than college.
I guess your missive on marriage is the same with dogs, don't get one, they die on you. It hurts. The veternarians suck the blood out of you.
I've got a sick one right now. I'd play with you in here, but have to watch over him until Cyber gets home. I can't lift him into the SUV.
So I guess what you're saying is just play around. Don't have feelings for anyone or anything.
I think you're wrong, My Friend.
If Xena's Guy sees this, you are SO in for it. ;)
Laz, don't be such a cynic!
Geesh!
Marriage will be what you put into it. Of course assuming you made a WISE choice to begin with.
Been married 3 times
Currently going through my 3rd Divorce.
I have not filed for Divorce once in all 3 marriages.
Every one of my "wives" went out and found Boyfriends while I was either overseas on deployment, or in this case, halfway across country trying to setup a place for us to move to in Georgia.
All of you righteous SOB's here tell me how to maintain a marriage when the woman is bound and determined to
1. Cheat on you
2. Divorce you
Nobody is perfect, and until you are in danger of having your body hung on a cross, I'd suggest you quit judging others.
Frankly I'll never do this again.
No marraige bump. Oops too late.
And the woman will be tied to an old man! But of course it doesn't matter if a man is old. He can still be picky.
I don't want to have to answer all the points one by one. It would be a losing proposition.
I used to feign deafness to avoid responding to stuff like this.
I learned my lesson the day she asked me "Do these pants make me look fat"? and I replied "It's not the pants".

What a sweetheart. Too bad I'm already married.
Do not enter the bottomless pit of matrimony. Save yourself the time and trouble. Instead, find a woman you really hate and buy her a house.
