I'm never getting married. Never.
I have a lot of respect for my parents or anyone else who can stay together for 30, 40, 50 years. I have no idea how two people can stay together for decades.

about 6 months before I got married I was heard to say (and my best man quoted it at the rehearsal dinner) "I'm not getting married until I'm so old and ugly that I'd have to be married to get laid"
there's a lot of reasons why marriages fail, but here's my take on the biggest reasons, I've never seen a marriage where either of these where a factor make it for the long haul.
1. where either of them decides that they want to get married and then goes looking for the spouse (victim). the best I've found is to go through life avoiding marriage until you meet the one person you couldn't imagine being away from.
2. the next guaranteed marriage killer is people who let the kids sleep in their room. I'm not talking about kids climbing in bed on Saturday morning to watch cartoons. but a lot of women insist on letting the baby sleep in the bed for the first few months, and a lot of times months turn into years. it's hard to have decent sex where your kids sleep.
3. if you have to talk her into sex when you're dating you're an idiot if you think it's going to get better when you are married. people who need to be convinced don't really want to, they are just putting out to keep you interested long enough to marry them, after that there is no point. kinda like fishing, once you catch the fish and put him in the cooler do you keep throwing bait in there for him? ho point in it, he's already caught.
