If not for my husband's unending love and patience am not sure marriage would have taught me anything.am no longer self centered or proud,am open,no more secrets.marriage has made me work on my anger,also made me realize i cant just change a grown adult within hours.when i was single i was a bad spender but now ...,still working on that anyway.it has made me cherish my friends,loved ones.its endless

Marriage has taught me the truth about people; NO ONE IS PERFECT. You have to compliment your partner.

I have learnt to not have a spouse in the first place so that there will be no reason to want to change them in future. Marriage is an outdated institution, there is nothing that you want in a marriage bed that you can not get outside the marriage bed, infact in better more profuse quantities and qualities. My advise to any young man out there, is never to get married, it is overrated and when people are forcing you to get married or to settle down, they are merely looking for partners in misery, its not worth it!

What is the appropriate age?

And how does it sound to you if one is not married at that age?

And why does it sound like it sounds to you?

I love this thread. Nothing to contribute yet, just learning a whole lot from the wise folks here.

Mrs. Chaircover, your post connected with me because I have been a "grude holder" in the past. In a serious relationship it doesn't help me to hold on to minor slights and disappointments, especially since I am guilty of these offenses as well.

"I also learnt the hard way that you could start off being right in an argument but if care is not taken you could end up being the offender. I learnt that not all questions have answers and I learnt that not all things follow logic.
I also learnt that not all battles are worth fighting and the word Sorry is one of the most important words in my vocab.


Yes, I've been guilty of this, holding on to logic and being right, and in the process being offensive unintentionally.

The Sorry word is so powerful, many times I really long to hear it instead of a long defensive rant. Funny enough he has made me realize that I also get defensive when he just wants to hear sorry.

well, a lot of people (particularly males) do feel this way.

the question should also be posed: what your marriage taught you, so those who are not in a marriage can share what they learnt [not meant to be a diatribe plz].
