Is Marriage Just Crap ?

Truth is, unfortunately, most people don't get over themselves until they are nearing 50. When your life is about you...there is no room for someone else.
Until you realize that, marriage won't work.

 

Very committed senior couple here. We just happen to have the same relationship appetite.
Love is alway there’ but it cannot me to sex it is full on personal lust and for our health. All this with a huge amount of respect for each other. I have a bit more open mind regarding sex and my wife has to help me control it.

 

I've been married for almost 47 years now. We're waiting to have kids until we see if it'll last. After all, 'happily married' is an oxymoron.

 

I use to agree with that.
I married the wrong person the first time. And since we have two kids, stayed married for 27 years with her.
We divorced 4 years ago I think, I have since remarried and holy cow am I happier. What a difference it is being with a person you actually chose intelligently instead of sexually.
That and both of us realize, and therefore appreciate, how valuable a good relationship is.
Truth is I would say at least 75% of the population marries the wrong person.

 

^ probably accurate. And then half of those won't give it a second chance, which is a shame.

 

But that term implies the man is enslaved...

 

Marriage is the number one leading cause of divorce.

 

It a grate thing love my wife

 

Oh, you chose the 2nd wife based on intelligence did you?

.....and this year, how old is your first wife and how old is the 2nd wife?

 

I married the one person that could tame me.
He is also my best friend.
Marriage is fantastic.

 

You mistook my meaning, and reading it myself, I admit it wasn't worded clearly.
I meant what a difference it is to choose a mate using your own intelligence, rather than sexual attraction.
As far as age, my first wife was 5 years older than me, my 2nd wife is 1 year older.

 

marriage would be wonderful if you love each other. I don't mean just getting married and saying your in love which I guess in most cases isn't true. The problem with with American is there is too much porn, too everything is over sexualised. I guess there is no innocence anymore. if everybody took their tv set out side and trashed them, and the playstations, and the games, and every delted their facebook accounts and porn was banned and women and guys went back to the old traditional ways would all be much happier and healthier.

 

People suck, and nobody knows that better than married people.

 

its deepens on the couple. You have to make it a loving and wonderful marriage. its not like that naturally.

 

I agree with your statement. I think it takes a phenomenal (comical really) amount of work to make it a happy circumstance. I'm not fond of the idea of an unhappy marriage though. Worth it, but risky.

 

I love this.

 

damn. i'm not married, and i can't imagine knowing even more about people sucking.

 

Thank-you, reading through, I guess I am just fortunate.

 

If you can still say this 10 years from now...you got it.

 

A lot more years than 10!!!
Plus I have known him since I was 12.
