I believe no one should get married. People change over the course of a lifetime and you will not be married to the same person you married 10 years before.

Anybody doubt that look at your spouse now vs when you got married.

I followed your advise and I have to say, she's getting better with age.

My wife and I have both changed and for the better. We hit speed bumps now and then but we knew what we were both committing to when we received the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds.

People change but it is not the physical change that should bother you, it is the changes inside a person. Sometimes one person doesn't grow and the other does. This is always makes for a bad marriage but it doesn't have to be that way. Choose wisely and she/he will grow along with you and the marriage will be a good one. However, in your case I would say you are better off not marrying, because you don't believe in it. Some people shouldn't get married.

Real Love is a more of a decision, less of a warm-fuzzy emotion.

People have a lot of friendships that go back more than 10 years. Why not a friendship with your spouse?

My husband is older than when I met him, and snores more, and has gained weight. But he is still a good man with strong hands and a strong mind. I am fatter than when I met him, but I can still make him proud, put a certain twinkle in his eye, keep him company, and ease his life’s load. We have been married since 1996.

Also, people are really short-sighted about marriage, I think. Years from now, when you are old or sick and unable to care for yourself, it is these old, deep ties of loyalty and belonging that will help your loved ones help you. I think loyalty and faithfulness are a couple of the most undervalued virtues of our time, and they take years to bear fruit.

I would encourage anyone who is ready to dare to know and accept someone as they truly are to go ahead and get married. I would warmly wish the contentment and friendship of a committed, mature marriage upon everyone who is brave enough to give it a go.

My wife has become more beautiful in my eyes than when we were dating 10 years ago, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

We live in a society that places your own personal comfort an happiness above all other considerations in life. For that reason alone, we have ridiculous divorce rates.

And divorce (and the debasement of marriage in general) is the root cause of 90% of our societal ills.

That is actually part of the socialist agenda, they think there should be no marriages, just relationships that you leave whenever you want.

Kinda like we have now.
