[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16097465, member: 46336"] This is really weird. I was actually thinking about this on the way to work. I'm new to being married. About 3 months or so. We've had a few small fights here and there. Things have definitely changed, as it's no longer "Fine, I'm going to the bar and hitting on anything with lady parts and getting laid". It's now "Dammit, we have to fix this, we can't just walk away". As I have come to learn, marriage is less about the romance and more about the mundane. It's a commitment to each other, but it's a different way. You have a partner in everything now. Need to do taxes? She's there. Need to raise kids? She's there. Need to deal with family drama? She's there. Want to eat ice cream, drink beer, and watch football? She's there. But in the mundane, she's also there for the good stuff. Want to vacation? She's there. Want to go to Cars and Coffee? There too. Want to go to a fancy expensive restaurant? Yep, there she is. Etc. Marriage is about the commitment to be in a persons life, no matter what. You can talk about love and romance, but I think it's truly a commitment to be someones best friend but with romance. And most people who find themselves unhappy in marriage probably don't have that sort of relationship with their SO. They're friends, but they do their own things and just come together for kids, taxes, and dates. Otherwise they avoid each other. Not the right way to approach things IMO. [/QUOTE]
