What's the Hardest Thing about Marriage?

1. I thought what would be hardest would be dealing with anger and not being able to walk away. What was hardest was finding out that you can hold a grudge but you still can't walk away. My advice: make sure you have fun and it is with your husband!

2. Communication hands down.

3. Nothing is really "hard" its just communication and compromise. Everything else falls into place if it is true love.

4. 1. I didn't think about marriage being hard before I was married. I was in love and that's all I could think about, being with that other person all the time, 24/7. 2. The hardest was living with someone. Not that I didn't love him, but the quirks that everyone has. And arguments. Everyone argues some time. And family. Learning to like/tolorate the other person's family. 3. If you are in love and know fully what you are getting into, I am all for it. Do you like the other family? Can you picture yourself having kids? Sharing incomes? ect???? If you can answer your questions, I would go for it. But if you are in doubt don't.

5. Hardest thing about marriage that I THOUGHT.........being able to afford a house, buy nice things, and have a fun and happy life together. I didn't want to be like my wife's sister and her husband, always borrowing money and always broke. So at the time, my biggest concern was making enough money to pay for everything. What turned out to actually BE the hardest? Definitely communication. Being able to log my complaints without pisssing my wife off, and being man enough to see where my faults were. Suddenly money wasn't the issue anymore, it was working as a team and feeling good about each other.

6. it was what i thought it would be before i got married.. being around each other so much and not getting on each other's nerves. the compromise when you have two different lifestyles coming together. and fair fighting-its gotta be an acquired art.

7. The hardest thing about marraige is communication. A lot of times people get complacent in the marriage and communication breaks down. You have to keep the lines of communication open, always. If you are thinking about marriage, ask yourself this: Can you see yourself with this person for the rest of your life. Marriage is a big step. One not to be taken lightly. Remember, you will see and be around this person for a long time. I could go into more, but, that;s a different question altogether.

8. Before marriage it was making the commitment and in marriage it's keeping committed to each other. You have to give and take as well as keep communication lines open. It's a full time job but 24/7. If it's what you both want go for it and if you're just thinking about it maybe you're not ready. It's an all or nothing situation.

9. Lazy is right! A lot of people don't think about the hardest thing. lol! Marriage has more hard times than easy!! More times of working together than romance. Most people are decieved when they get married. lol!

10. 1. My husband's deployment(s). 2. Him being deployed while I was pregnant, giving birth to our daughter without him, and raising her alone while he's gone. 3. Tell him/her you love them every chance you get. Thank God for every second you get to see him/her. Meet them at the door with a kiss every time they come home. You are not always right, but neither are they. Play, tickle, and wrestle with each other. Surprise them by jumping in the shower with them. I have a lot more, but the most important for me....NEVER WALK AWAY.

11. 1.Getting used to living together. 2.Getting used to living together. While it is difficult to take two very different people and move them into the same house for what is expected to be a life time of happiness,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,... IS possible. It is challenging,yet rewarding, Learn and live by two important words. Respect and communication. It will make the journey sweeter. Lose it and the road traveled then will be filled with potholes.

12. Think LONG and HARD before you get married. It is a wonderful institution but it is tough! 1. Never take your marriage or partner for granted. They may not always be there. 2. Don't keep secrets....don't lie 3. Don't lose yourself to your partner. In the end you are all that you have. 4. Enjoy the little things- this is what memories are made of. 5.Don't make a big deal out of what really doesn't matter. These suggestions are just a smidgen of what it takes to make a marriage work. Remember that all of that lovey dovey stuff that you are feelng now will pass. It takes true heartfelt love, acceptance and compromise to make a marriage work.

13. 1.) I didn't think anything would be hard like someone mentioned previously. I was so inlove. 2.) Still inlove. Nothing is that hard yet but I have only married 2 years. I guess when we get in arguments, we have to make up. lol 3.) If u are doubting, might not be the one. Just make sure u are doing it bc u want to be life partners with this person. When u meet the right one... you just know.

14. I think the hardest think was the planning of it and it was second was and still is accepting the their faults and theirs weird habits and i am not talking about in a abusive relationship i am talking about leaving the dishes in the sink or leaving clothes every where my advice is if you wake up and you can't wait to talk to him or see him and he makes you feel better about yourself and you smile and laugh a lot with him then do it say those 2 little words "i do" because in a good marriage there is nothing like it

15. For me there has been nothing hard - I've never had to work at my marriage, and my wife feels the same way (at least that what she tells me). If you feel it's hard, maybe it's not for you.

16. 1) Nothing 2) Working through all our problems, an affair, cancer, job loss, kids, 3) Work through all the problems and divorce is never an option. The love grows stronged the more you concur! Don't get married until you are 30 years old!

17. 1) Thinking this will be the last woman I will ever be with. 2) Trying to keep everything together (bills, kids,time for us,etc) 3) The biggest thing I could tell you is to NEVER go to bed mad at each other, and always take the time to talk to each other about the day or whatever.

18. When either of you lost his/her understanding, respect and irresponsible.
