TRUTH'S about MARRIAGE ?

These quotes are all so cynical. Why can't people make more positive statements about marriage?

If marriage is such a grind why do people keep getting married?

Maybe this constant cynicism about marriage, especially from men, is part of the reason why so many people have a hard time getting married and staying married.

TL: i post both sides. did u read the way the quotes and comics r cynical about men?

people get married for many reasons. some r realistic and know the challenges and focus on the positive and the rewards of marriage.

IMHO people who have unrealistic expectations have the hardest time getting and staying married.

Marriage has both the bitter and the sweet.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, marriage is the worst domestic arrangement, except for all the others.

Oh, I know. But it's all still cynical, just in a different direction.

People need to know the truth about marriage and having kids. At the same time, sometimes I fear that people would be scared away from marriage and having kids.

There are peopel out there who say, "I don't want to get married because I am afraid of divorce". Or, "I don't want to get married because my beautiful, easygoing girlfriend will turn into a fat shrew immediately after the wedding."

TR: So, in your opinion, what is the truth? What will encourage people to overcome their fears?

I'm hoping in one way here to make light of this subject, not in a cynical way, but in a light way and maybe, maybe it will help someone.

i'm open to any other ideas.
