Is your marriage everything you thought it would be?

If not, do you think it would have turned out better if you would have married someone else or would you have preferred to stay single?

I love my marriage. It's not necessarily "everything I thought it would be" but it's definitely "everything I could ever want". |

My marriage is way more than I thought it would be. I have a wonderful husband who does everything in his power to make me happy and comfortable and we have a 3 month old that is just out of this world. So far marriage to my husband is the best choice I have ever made, besides being with him in the first place, lol. |

We've been married 18 years and I've never, ever, regretted the decision to marry her. I don't think I ever had a expectations of "how it would be". We dated for about 5 years before getting married, and those 5 years were an adventure to me. I guess I just assumed the adventure would continue... and it has.
We are very different in many respects. We don't fight, but there are plenty of issues on which we don't agree. Fortunately, I think we both see our differences as a good thing. We each contribute to the marriage in a different way; and our differences help to challenge the other person in a positive way.
Sure I wonder what my life would be like had I married someone else, or remained single, but I wonder about all kinds of things. |

No, mine is nothing like i thought it would be. I thought i would be married to a man who cleans up after himself, takes time for his family, doesn't ignore my feelings about something. But that all changed after we moved away from our home town. Even before we got married it all changed and I thought it would be better when we got married but nope. I clean up after him every day, I am the only one who cares for the dogs and I am NOT a dog person at all. He comes home from work and does nothing but go straight for his computer and chats online and doesn't even play with his daughter. If i hand her to him and walk away she will scream cause she isn't used to her father and she is 5 months old and I want him to be part of her life. Not just by making the money in the household but be in her life physically and socially as well. But it's hard now days to get men to do that if they were raised in a family where the father made their mother do everything but work. |

Absolutely not!
I can't really regret my marriage due to the fact that I got two great kids from it. But I do sometimes wonder if it would've been different if I never sent the email that started it all.... |

My marriage of almost 39 years is WAY more than I ever thought a marriage could be. There are "secrets" to having a marriage like ours. Here they are.
1. Choose wisely whom you will marry. Make sure the person you decide to marry shares at least some important values with you. Do you want children? Do either/both of you practice a religion? What kind of home environment did your intended come from? If you are a woman you want to determine how his mother was treated in the home he grew up in because that's likely the way you will be treated in his home. Same for men.
2. Work hard. Marriage is a full time career--to me the most important career there is (along with being parents of course). It requires work, loyalty, kindness, selflessness and a host of other good qualities, practiced routinely, if it is to truly succeed.
3. Pray harder. I believe God is the Author of the home and family. If He is included in the planning, preparation and most intimate details of family life you will most likely have a long, successful and happy marriage. There will always be challenges and issues to deal with but you and your spouse just have to decide that 'issues and challenges' are not more important than your relationship with each other, or with your Father in Heaven. |

No, no and no. Life is never what we think it will be when we're young, and it won't be no matter what we do. Oh well. It's not so bad though most of the time. |

It is everything I thought it wouldn't be, and nothing that I thought it would be. |
