Is being married boring?

[Anonymous]

I am 20 and have never been in a long-term relationship. I want to eventually get married and have kids, but I am worried that I will become bored with marriage and my husband.

It's normal to not be ready for marriage at 20. :) I'm 20 and I ask my mom a lot of relationship questions, since she's been happily married to my dad for 28 years. One day I asked her if it ever gets boring, and she simply told me "Your dad is the opposite of boring." Which is completely true; my dad is funny, social, opinionated, and the life of any party.

Since my mom told me that, it's been my understanding that if you marry the right guy, life with him is anything but boring. Plus, when you truly love someone, you don't ever get tired of them.

not if you're married to the same person. anything long term will not be as exciting after you've been in it for a long time compared to the beginning. but if you guys have a real connection not just sex, have things in common, are compatible and good partners, I think you will have a good and satisfying relationship and marriage.

married to the right person I mean, not "same person"

If you fall in love with someone, this person will never be boring

however, marriage is not necessary. You can have a perfectly happy and interesting live without it.

You are only twenty f***ing years old, so you have lots of years before you of excitement before marriage.

At your age, you won't know a lot about long term relationships. True relationships should last forever, although half of all marriages end up in divorce nowadays. If you really both have love, then that commitment is a test of love. You can then feel good about it and gain happiness from it. What aMuse has to say in the comments is also true.

If your life is boring now, then there's a good chance it will be boring when you are married. As far as being bored of your partner, well that comes down to compatibility (intellectual, sexual, and emotion). If you pick your partner for the wrong reasons, you'll most assuredly get bored and most likely fight a lot.

Unlikely, but if you think it's going to be boring and maintain that mindset, then chances are you will find it boring. Don't.

only if you let it be boring.
