Okay. I’m new to this marriage thing, but have had previous long-term relationships. I really don’t know what kind of marriages you people have. I am sad for you. If your marriages are so bad, why stay in it? No, it will not always be blissful, but I can’t imagine my life w/out my DH and he says the same and no, not just saying it. It is mutual, for sure. He said I’m his soul mate. I laugh b/c that strikes me as something a girl says. But he means it.
I hope you guys are kidding. I know plenty of people who are married that are very content. Sure there are ups and downs in life, but that would be the case whether they were single or married. The marriage itself is happy.
