What’s something that you expected out of marriage when growing up, that you quickly learned wasn’t the fact upon getting married?

1. I expected it to be a lasting bond between two people.

   Which I now know isn’t the case and in many countries not even supported but rather incentivized to end.

2. Growing up watching my parents scream and fight, I thought marriage would be ridiculously impossible and draining to maintain.

   It turns that it isn’t that way at all if you just communicate in a healthy manner.

   My marriage is awesome, just because my parents wasn’t doesn’t mean anything.

3. Regular sex.

4. Happiness

5. Constant arguments and screaming.

6. Most women do the cooking.

   I was BY FAR the better cook. I guess she’s going to get all wifey and I won’t be able to cook anymore. I’m going to miss that, I’m a hell of a good cook, if I do say so myself.

   Quarter century later, I’m still doing almost all the cooking LOL, thankfully.

7. Marriage is not required for true happiness. In fact it’s the opposite. Stay single.

8. I expected to fight all the time. My parents were always fighting and then telling me how it was healthy. Now that I’m married, I realize they just had a shit relationship. My wife and I rarely have disagreements and when we do, it’s a discussion. Marriage is the best thing that’s happened to me.

9. Love. Caring. Affection. Dedication.

10. lot of sex ,

11. I used to think when you marry some you stick together and stay faithful but nowdays on the net and in social circle it doesn’t feel like that the case
