I married at 26 and have been married to that same woman for 21 years. We fought like cats and dogs in the early years and frankly I’m surprised we made it. I can look back and say I’ve been fortunate with my wife, but we had to work very hard to keep it together. Whoever said it was supposed to be easy? I have two young daughters whom I would like to see settle down someday and have a family of their own. Children make it all worth it I think. I don’t quite know how to process all this negative feedback about marraige. What do all these single guys think they’re going to be doing when they’re 47, when the time spent at the gym (assuming they still go) no longer leaves them “cut” but merely holds at bay the 2- 3 inches their waists want to expand, when the weekend football games leave them hobbling on Monday and they have become utterly invisible to 20 something girls? In my humble, and utterly non empirical opinion, most of these guys are probably going to deep down regret that they didn’t take the risk of grabbing one of those girls when they could.
