What I heard once...Why does a divorce cost so much?? Cause it's worth it......LOL!!!
 
Met a guy working at this ore mill, both of us single and both just started building our homes, alone and by hand. We became buddies and would get together one evening a week to NOT work on the houses and get a break and down a couple of brews and ponder how tough it was working all day and building a house at night.

Several yr. later, both living in our homes now, no mortgages as we paid cash as we went, which took us both years to get 'em done on hourly wages. We're both married, he's got a toddler. Wife dumps him, runs off with someone else, judge gave her 1/2 the value of the house. He had the house totally done by the time he met his future wife. He had to take out a mortgage to pay her off, 20 yr. later he's still paying on the mortgage. He's got a seriously bad attitude toward marriage [and judges], let me tell you. Mine's great, still together and still no mortgage. I guess that makes it 50% chance of it being great or a nightmare.

I am on my second. The first was pure hell.
The second is just the opposite, best thing that ever happened to me.
IF you have 2 people committed to making it work, then it will work. Problem now a days is most people don't want to hang in during the bad times, when the going gets rough they are gone.
 
cuttinstuff's right...it takes two committed people to make a marriage work...we all got character defects that others have to live with (Mrs. Bounty Hunter is a good example of patience and tolerance...I've got LOTS of character defects).
But we have been married 27 years, never had a fight (or even raised our voices at one another), and have never spent a night apart (I slept on the floor in her hospital room all three times for all three kids...), the point being I have always been there for her, and she for me. Total trust is key...if either partner has doubts or suspicions...brother, you have problems.
Trust and love can lead you two into new levels of joy and great life experience...my wife and I share in all things, including woodcutting.
She has her own Stihl ms 260 Pro and ms200T, and will happily take a turn with one of the ms440s. She also runs the log splitter, as she is the only one I trust to operate the ram when it's my paws in there positioning the wood!
She's also darn good with her Kimber 1911 .45, Winchester .30-06, and her Marlin .22 mag varmit rifle.
What I am trying to say here is marriage is a partnership that gets stronger and better when your two separate lives are grafted together...the way a grafted tree can be better and stronger than either of its original stock. "One flesh" the Bible calls it...living together and promoting everything you can to find and strengthen common interests in work, play, time off and time on. Love and Patience...not something we are born with...are the keys to great relationships. Be committed, stay committed, nurture your marriage like the precious gift that it is...protect it from any threat...from within or from without...and "Never Give An Inch".

I never knew what true happiness was until I got married.............but by then it was too late.

That's funny.


Just remember, there are only 2 times in a man's life that he doesn't understand a woman.
















That would be before he gets married and after he gets married. :ices_rofl:
