    Actually it depends on the woman, unless she is young as mentioned before, she will be busy trying to change you instead, but you'll never know it, till it is too late. The problem is too many women in the US view their man as someone to be manipulated and used.

    "When we got married, she was 20 and I was 24."

    Yes, because those marriages end well. haha

    I feel sorry for you, I do. It won't end well.

    if you want kids and that is a primary motivation for most to marry then you must look for a good woman who is a manager of the household, good with kids, frugal enough and has some common sense. Further she must love you and work with you. Kinds often keep families together that otherwise would fall apart due to time and alienation of the parties. I got married for the second time because I got very sick of "dating" and I was very lonely. The child came and it keeps us together. Fortunately my wife is a good mother and she keeps a good household. If you marry with your penis the infatuation of the sex will wear off and if there is nothing behind it than you will hate each other like dogs and cats. I now realize than if you do not want kids and you are not pre-40's then it is indeed stupid to get married and cohabitation is better. If you worry about your money then draw up an agreement before anyone moves in.

    Very sensible and real world.


    Like someone posted previously, before anything, before the fucking, before the moving, before the chase and the marriage. Look in the mirror, know yourself, your true self.

    Dont make choices from previous biases, from your environments choices, from what older siblings did or your friends do, etc..

    Make the choice in partner that makes YOU happy,, hell everyone loves the hot blonde with big tits and can suck the chrome off a hitch, but if you like a more intelligent girl. Then go for what you really want.

    Know thyself first.!!! Its a marathon , not a sprint.

  6. What do you do with a wife when she is old and useless?

    "After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said ……. “Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.

    Now … I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

    My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

    Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems."

    Very few older woman solve an old guy's problem so well!

    The old "woman scorned bullshit", huh? She could wind up no better than the man she is vindictively treating. And who knows, she might have drove him away intentionally, so she can "go party". It works both ways. Simple fact is most relationship failure is due to disrespect. Popular media and culture portray the male as the guilty party, when in fact women are doing just as much damage, but is rarely heard about. Treat each other with respect and things run a lot smoother.

  8. - Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering.
    - There are two times a man doesn't understand a woman, before marriage and after marriage!
    - A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about his future until he gets a wife!
    - Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is finished.
    - Married man live longer than a single man, but married man are lot more willing to die!
    - If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The Dog of course...at least he'll shut up after you let him in!
    - Any married man should forget his mistakes because there is no use in remembering two people the same thing.
    - We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
    - Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence - a life sentence.
    - A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?" And the father replied, "I don't know, son, I'm still paying for it."

  9. Marriage. If ever think about wanting a divorce make sure you check out your states laws.......don't do it in MA unless you want a for life alimony sentence!

    I love women but will offer a single line of wisdom.
