- FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -9/+223Be 100% certain that she does not have a penis.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/15/2007, -1/+118Luckily I won't ever have to consider these things because I can't even land a simple date.
- subscriber, on 10/10/2007, -3/+89Take a good look at her mother.
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -12/+94If you have a Y chromosome, be prepared for what happens to you should the marriage dissolve. You become an ATM machine and will be lucky to see your kids 2 - 3 times a month. It's all butterflies, love and chocolates at first. Should the relationship go sour, be prepared to bend over and don't expect a kiss, a reach-around, or KY to lube things up. It may sound like a bitter statement but it is reality - unless you are loaded and have a kick ass attorney.
Men are the enemy in Family Court. Don't take my word for it, do a bit of searching on your own. - TrevorBradley, on 10/15/2007, -3/+75Never, ever go to bed angry. Stay up and argue if you have to, stay up all night if you have to, but never let any issue stew for more than a day. Sleep is less important than resolving any issue.
This simple rule has kept us going for 12 years. Things are great! - inactive, on 10/15/2007, -15/+85No more blow jobs after marriage.
That crazy sex starved vixen who would ***** you three times a night in every conceivable position when you were dating immediately turns into a nun come the end of the honeymoon. - silverchrysalis, on 10/10/2007, -5/+72things to consider:
do you really, truly love this person? not just an infatuation, but will you want to see them every morning with stubble, eye crusties, bad breath, etc? every morning for the rest of your life? can you stand being next to them in the car for the next 20,000 miles worth of road trips while you yell at your kids to shut the hell up? if this person lost their hair, their wealth, their health, their sense of humor, could you still love them? and do you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if you lost those things that they would still love you?
forever?
then you're cool. if you aren't a selfish pussy, all the rest will fall into place. - Hoxie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+55reading the comments of this thread, you'd think digg is just a community of chauvinist men.
Oh wait... - yourexhalekiss, on 10/10/2007, -4/+52Most people are so cynical about marriage, it's ridiculous.
There are two reasons why:
Either
1. You married the wrong person
or
2. You're a selfish pig, and think that marriage is instant wish-fulfillment. It's not, it's life together.
If you can't understand those - especially number two - then please, for the sake of the rest of us happily married people that get lots of sex and are looking forward to having kids,
Please don't get married. You'll do the world a favor. - meshman, on 10/10/2007, -21/+661 - After 3 months or less, you will never have sex again. Consider that.
- Enochyang, on 10/10/2007, -12/+54FTA: Religion - How important is it and how will we teach the kids?
This is an on-going struggle for me. I've always gotten into arguments with all my girlfriends because I want to raise my kids in a strictly non-religious home and let them decide for themselves after they grow up. - madroneDorf, on 10/10/2007, -4/+40This is sorta a cop-out imo, raising kids without a religion and allowing them to decide later, is basically saying you are wanting to raise kids without religion... of course they will "decide" later, but most people stay with the same religion they grew up with, or migrate to one that is similiar.
Personally I support raising kids without religion, but call a spade a spade, raising kids without religion is saying that you want to have the kids not be religious - thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+38I've had great sex in HORRIBLE relationships and HORRIBLE sex in great relationships.
A litmus test best on sex is just stupid, and you're just too young to understand that. A relationship is based and tested on more than just sex. - Marcelius, on 10/10/2007, -4/+40Or at least smaller than yours.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34The best sex I've had seems to have consistently been with the women I've dated who were so ***** insane that a long-term relationship with anyone other than a psychiatrist wouldn't have been in their best interest or mine. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I have friends who've got the same story. "Oh man, the sex was great, but then she'd have these wild mood swings and occasionally dabble in arson..." Like all men in denial, I keep hoping that one day I'll meet someone smart, funny and practical who's also a lot of fun in the sack. Of course, I'm way past the age where I'm likely to ever experience significant pair-bonding, so I'll just get back to my life of quiet despair now.
- slickrocktrail, on 10/10/2007, -5/+38It is OK for a wife to hound a man about making more money. It is OK for a wife to not be satisfied with a man who makes a lot. It is not OK for a man to want his wife to work a little to remain attractive and affectionate.
Bitter? Yes, I am. - jayhawk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31i've been married over 10 years now and i've realized the secret to our success -- low expectations. i don't expect her to make me happy and she doesn't expect me to make her happy. we often do make each other happy, but we also have our own interests and hobbies, etc. so that we can generate a lot of our own happiness. as soon as you start expecting your spouse to improve on something, you're just setting yourself up to be disappointed and setting the marriage up for failure.
- RegalGSX, on 10/10/2007, -16/+46I got blowjobs after marriage.
From someone else. - amorangi, on 10/10/2007, -8/+35I'm Agnostic, but I do make my daughter do bible studies at school (it's a 1 hour a week option that requires partental permission). I think it's important to know your society's creation myths. However at home I heavily criticize all religion and superstition. This way she gets both points of view. My wife is Christian and would rather I didn't deny the existence of her gods, but she's kind of stuck since I know the bible far better than her and can bring up the inconsistencies and contradictions.
My daughter enjoys bible class - when asked why it's because they get a lollipop. - HappyEngineer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28You can't prevent the kid visitation issue, but you can prevent becoming an ATM machine. Never marry a woman who makes significantly less than you do. Life will be a lot easier for everyone. Never, under any circumstances, marry a woman who has no job at all.
- Viniator3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Glad it works for you, but sometimes a dude and his lady need some sleep. A rested mind is not a warring mind. I've solved conflicts by thinking straighter after a night of sleep, and sometimes by resolving it before bedtime. Depends on the battle and the day ahead. May you keep going great for many years to come.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27Porn and spanking the monkey is far cheaper.
- zblackjack, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Scientists at MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, USC and Santa Monica College has proven it's the cake ---- DON'T EAT THE WEDDING CAKE!!!!!
It posioned by Zulu and Tom Cruze's friends from the outer limits. - diiii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20When I was still a teenager, someone told me that I should see how a guy interacts with his mother and how he views women in general before dating, let alone marrying, the guy. He had it dead on-- even if the guy treats you like a goddess at first, if he treats his mother like ***** or talks about women in general like they're all bitches, then he's not someone you want to deal with, because sooner or later his opinion of women in general will affect how he views and treats you. For instance, a good number of the guys who have posted here are guys I would never want anything to do with. I've got my own job. I don't need some dude's help buying my dinner or paying my bills.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+26I get the implied humor, but anyone taking this seriously would benefit from knowing that they married the wrong person if this were true. Your sex life is basically a litmus test of the relationship. If it is suffering because the relationship is suffering, then that's self explanatory. If it's suffering because you two are sexually incompatible, then the relationship will suffer as a result.
Good sex = good relationship. - inactive, on 10/28/2007, -11/+29I'd say 9/10 women I know pre-marriage put on a good 20-30 pounds really quick after getting married also.
Most of them cut their hair really short too.
Watch out for the post-fatties - DeFex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17do you like your friends? will you miss them?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16And her father, too. She will expect you to possess many of his qualities, assuming her relationship with her dad is a good one. If you are completely different than him, then you are not her idea of a perfect mate. This doesn't mean it can't work - it just means that it won't be without much effort.
- rnwen2750, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15But it's tough to take porn as your date to those important family functions...
- darkism, on 10/10/2007, -8/+231. Are you still in school?
2. Is she?
3. Do you have any debts?
4. Have you been dating for less than 2 years?
5. Is your income unstable?
6. Are you one of the "no cohabitation until marriage" types?
7. Are there any other doubts in your mind?
If "yes" to any of the above, postpone marriage indefinitely and get your ***** together. - Rikkochet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Dude, USB flash drives are dirt cheap these days. What are you TALKING about?
- trparky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16I couldn't get a date even if it was the last damn thing I needed to do to save my own damn soul from the devil himself.
- zachshmack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15So Jesus is a turtle now? It makes perfect sense...
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Go to a Goth Bar.... if you're about to become Satan's minion, there are TONS of girls that want you.
- UbIwerks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Seriously? Being married is one of the greatest things ever! And sex is incredible when you're with someone you know will invest the rest of her life with you!
I think that's just a saying 35 year olds tell themselves to keep on clubin'... - Enochyang, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15I couldn't agree with you more. I'd really like to have an atheist girlfriend so we can dodge the issue completely. Maybe I should stop picking up girls at churches.
- ReDoEr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13My line of work requires that I read a lot of divorce records, and they all read the same way. No matter why the marriage dissolved, punitive measures will be taken against the man. Even in a marriage where there has never been any domestic violence, and none is claimed in the filing, the lawyers almost universally recommend that the woman seek a PFA (protection from abuse) order against the man, and the courts always grant it. So, fellas, even if you're as peaceful as a dove, getting divorced means having a court record as a suspected wife-beater.
- gambyt13, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Hey, I resemble that comment!
- Mudcrutch, on 10/10/2007, -22/+34All these problems can be solved by living with the person before marriage.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Get a divorce and it's to the 500's for you!
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11450 = can't get a loan for $40 payable over a year
850 = banks will grovel at your feat to loan you money
It's called a FICA score thats based on some formula and determines your credit "worthiness" (ability to pay back a loan) - SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12moral of story : dont work. :)
got it! - Rawler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Yeah ok, it gets old whenever we have any article (even remotely) relating to sex, marriage, and love and someone always thinks they are being witty for posting 'not that digg users will ever need it'.
- RegalGSX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I should have never gotten married.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12You forgot option 3.) 15 years old or younger
- zachshmack, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14Completely off-topic: Why do all the Snorg ads feature models that look like braying idiots?
- DumbLittleMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Alex4412 - my credit score is actually 836 and I pulled last month just before I bought a car. I changed the post so that it reflected that 836 exactly instead of 850.
- r0ryb0ryalis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9You are an example of what he is talking about
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -9/+18WHY THE ***** must a child be brainwashed to a religion?
I was raised Christian... and for a while, I shunned it as a rebellion... but over time I came back to it because of the basic teaching of Christ and my experiences in the world.
Are their people who abuse religion? Yes
Is religion bad because people abuse it? NO - diiii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+99/10 of the women you're thinking of probably put on 20-30 pounds because they're starting to show signs of pregnancy, the only reason they got married in the first place.
