carlimac Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 So what do y'all think of marriage? Is that general enough? Quote
Jennarator Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 I like it! But it surely depends on many things. Quote
carlimac Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 I like it! But it surely depends on many things.Yup. I agree. Quote
Windseeker Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 I believe that marriage is where the rubber meets the road for growth in the gospel. Quote
SoCal_Counselor Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 I like it! But it surely depends on many things.I hope that I don't have Depends in my marriage for many, many years. Quote
Guest Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 It's the best and most rewarding work I've ever done. Quote
carlimac Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 I guess the success of marriage depends on whether that big white thing in the corner of the room is an elephant or a donkey. (Running and ducking.) Quote

Guest Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Marriage is the nucleus of human relationship. It's where you practice and learn what it means when Christ told us of the 2nd of the only 2 commandments that replaced the whole of Mosaic law. Christ loved us so much that he died on the cross for our salvation bearing the wounds of the nails, the spears, the crown of thorns, and bleeding from every pore in Gethsemane. Spouses only get to love enough to "die on the cross" for one person of his/her own choosing. How's that for an answer to a general question? Edited May 9, 2012 by anatess Quote
mhsmd Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 I find that marriage is the most frustrating thing I've ever done. Except dating. Dating was way worse than marriage. And that is why marriage is awesome! Quote
Palerider Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I know you must always keep working at it......and its worth all the hard work. Quote
jerome1232 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I know you must always keep working at it......I read this as "working it", now what is on my mind? Quote
slamjet Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I read this as "working it", now what is on my mind?Something you got married for, but quickly found out you were lied to Quote
Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 If that's all he got married for, maybe he shouldn't have it, anyway. Quote
jerome1232 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) I smell a battle of the sexes cooking up. The men, of course, are using Barbecues. edit: Of course that's not ALL I got married for, I can't say it wasn't a significant factor either though. On a more serious note, I agree that marriage is both difficult, and rewarding. Creating a family is no walk in the park, but it sure is worth it. Edited May 10, 2012 by jerome1232 Quote
slamjet Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 If that's all he got married for, maybe he shouldn't have it, anyway. I was thinking of posting some quip here, but I shall abstain because I'm cranky and, well, I have my opinions on this matter that would just get me riled up. Aw heck...But when some lady tickles under the chin of a guy, and then once she got him to take out the garbage, then WHAM! "I'm tired."Yea, it really is a bad week I need a beer, the root kind.

Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Any healthy woman worth her salt will happily show love to a man who is willing to pitch in. Any man who marries a woman just to get her in bed is not that kind of man. Withholding sex is bad mojo, but so is expecting it regardless of how the partner is feeling. I was really just joking around before, slamjet, and I am really sorry to hear that you're having a bad week. I hope things are looking up soon. Quote
slamjet Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 No big, just feeling sorry for myself. It happens every so often. All I need to do is buy a computer part and I'll be happy again but then I have no room to talk about happy marriages considering my track record Quote
Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Well, my life is in a state of limbo and total imbalance, and every once in awhile (yesterday and today), I feel sorry for myself, too. Chocolate cake helped a great deal tonight. Quote
Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Slamjet, I think with your experiences, you're probably the expert at what a marriage is all about... Quote
Tyler90AZ Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 Marriage can be either hell or bliss, the choice is yours. Quote
SoCal_Counselor Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 I believe it is possible for women to enjoy the sexual relationship with their husbands. I also believe it is possible for men to do the dishes. Quote
