When will people realize a marriage takes work of both people and marriage isn’t going to solve all your problems?

[Summeroflove]

A lot of people think marriage will solve all their issues or on the other extreme think they can solve all someone else’s problems.

A genuine marriage you will struggle together. You will have moments mentally. physically, and emotionally where you have to support one another. When times get hard a lot of people have affairs, become resentful, and/or divorce.

They think their financial problems will go away. Their emotional problems will go away. Marrying someone for instance who cannot manage money and has zero financial responsibility will put you more into debt and ruin your credit score then it will ever help you. As well as the fact if you try to solve someone’s financial problems you will probably end up having that person drain your accounts as well.

Emotional problems don’t go away unless someone also puts effort into themselves and wants to do better. I get that people lean on one another for support that’s the way it’s supposed to be. But when it’s only one person giving support and the other person only taking. You WILL become mentally, physically, and emotionally EXHAUSTED and drained.

A marriage isn’t just going to make you happy all the time. If you think you’re just going to be magically happy and stress free because you got married. Don’t waste someone’s time. Because you’ll become very resentful when your fantasy isn’t all that it’s made out to be.

I think only a fool would assume that marriage can “fix” a relationships present or future problem's even though to my understanding each half “vow” to do just that , “in sickness and in health” and “for better or worse”.
Additionally , One might think that couples realise and understand each others flaws and failings before they agree to marry but again I many cases at least in my life they do not and what was once adored as a trivial nuance of character or personality because an attributing reason in the breakdown of the relationship.


Long term Relationships and so marriage can demand at times huge amounts of work , whether it be in personal evolvement or sacrifice, or compromise or in a multitude of other ways and forever until death because nobody could speculate on exactly what will test it.

Many who have tried have also decided that it was having kids, not just spouse is what they need to offer fufillmen. I honestly don't believe that they are doing themselves a service by not living together or having sex prior to getting married. With half the couples subsequently filing for divorce it seems flat out crazy to not get to know each other in both important parts of being attached. If I always leave the toilet seat up after peeing & can only be sexual on every second full moon I would think that both parties have a very vested interest in knowing each other in intimate settings instead of going into it clueless only to find out if one spouse has the table manners of a Illyrian purple ass baboon and thinks that foreplay is a communist propaganda.

The idea that marriage is a “happily ever after” deal is deeply ingrained in our culture, largely due to fairy tales, movies, and social expectations. This romanticized perspective frequently obscures the emotional and practical labor required for a successful marriage, and the harsh reality is that many people lack the necessary skills. We can't all be marriage worthy, no matter how much some people think they are.

They will realize their illusion about marriage once they get married. But then it's too late.

Sharing my insights from a decade of relationship coaching here! Marriages are like plants; if you don't water them, they wilt. 💧💔 Getting hitched isn't like casting a magic spell to solve all your woes. It’s teamwork, support, and a whole lotta patience. You gotta keep the communication rolling and face those hurdles together. It drives me bonkers when folks think love alone is enough. Buckle up, lovebirds, because it’s a bumpy but beautiful ride! 🚗💨

By “people” you mean ‘women’, certainly.
To which the answer is ‘never again’.
That time has passed.

[Summeroflove]

There are men like this too.

[Summeroflove]

And women who are not. It comes down to the person

[CorneliaUSA]

In my experience it was the man. Now, my ex husband. I should never have listened to him!

[Sunrising]

Like you say people need to work on their marriages to make them last. But there comes a limit when one side decides enough is enough, and a break-up is inevitable.

[Summeroflove]

Yep.

[Steelcore5280]

When will women start taking "till death do us part" of their wedding vows seriously? Because at least 50% of women eho get married do not.

[Anonymous]

I wonder the same, there are so many ignorant people.

[exitseven]

I say this all the time.

[WonderingManII]

My parents taught me that.
