What is your favourite thing about marriage

[brewsandbooks]

Hey,

I'm nearly married and loving it ,

I think my favourite part of being married is that I have a team mate someone who has my back and together we are even stronger.

What's yours ??

Someone wanting you to be happy and looking out for you.

Someone who thinks you are hot whatever you look like 😂😂

Divorce and being shot of the bastard

Leaving

Divorce and never seeing the alcolhic,violent ''man'' again

Congratulations OP.

I’m not married and when I was younger, I really couldn’t think of anything more claustrophobic.

But now, I’d love to be married - to “belong” to someone, and know someone had chosen me. I’ve not had a normal family upbringing (albeit I was part of a loving “family”) and I think that’s what makes me want it. But I also have a DS13, so I guess I’ll never have the perfect 2.4 family now anyway. Not that I would ever change a single thing about how he came to be here.

The fact that I'm not in one!

Sometimes my husband defrosts my windscreen.... ❤️❤️❤️

I loved being married, that sense of having someone who will always always put you first. I was devastated when my marriage ended. But actually, I now bloody love being single, there are far more pros than cons, and I'd never get married again.

Reflecting back on what I most miss - a cuddle, a cup of tea in bed that I haven't made myself, sympathy when I'm ill, someone to share any decision making.

When DH calls me his wife.
Having the same surname as our children.
Being able to put "Mrs" on forms.

I also love when people are surprised that I'm married because I'm 24 now. We married when I was 22.

For me, I think it's having someone who knows all of my faults and bad habits, and still loves me anyway.

Nothing

Not being in one and not being frightened of his drunken violence

Being able to sleep together legally
Don't scoff but when we got together in 1960's, in our parent's world, it 'weren't right' unless you were married.
We would never have upset them so we spent a small fortune on B&B's while we were courting.
Swinging 60's my arse.
Not round our way.
50 years later with kids and grandkids it still feels so nice to spend all night together without worrying about getting caught.

Absolutely nothing. Can't wait to ltb

Having someone to warm my (very) cold feet on. 😀

I guess having someone there to talk to and support me, oh wait that never happens in this marriage!
It's so sad to see all the negative replies but unfortunetly I feel exactly the same.

Divorce

We make each other laugh, and he always thinks I’m beautiful :)

Knowing each other inside out, good points and bad, and loving each other regardless. Being there for one another, snuggling up together, knowing he's always on my side and I'm always on his. I love being married to him x

Tag team. We are in everything together. Had enough of the kids? Cool, you go upstairs for 30 mins and unwind while I deal with them. Don’t fancy cooking tonight? He will put something quick and easy in the oven for me. I washed up last night but you’ve had a hard day, I get that, I will do it again today. DH has always said to me, I don’t like being told what to do, but I will do things for you because I want to do them. We aren’t the kind of couple that text each other all day but will set aside a time to catch up properly and save up things to talk about so it’s not boring. I love being married and I love my husband very much. I love that someone’s always got my back. He will listen to me, support me, spur me on. He encourages me to be the best version of myself and I love him for that.

Cuddling/Sex at the ready
Having a teammate in life

The feeling of wholeness

Someone to travel with
Someone to share memories with
Someone to always ask how your day was
Someone to pick up the slack when you are knackered, ill etc
Someone to laugh with
Regular sex and intimacy
Sharing the load, housework, bills to pay, DIY etc.

I love my own space, but I love being with someone too, and the longer you are together the more natural if feels.

Congratulations OP

When my husband says “ Pull up a husband” if I’ve had a bad day or a run in with DD. And the laughter - there aren’t many people who can make me laugh as much as DH can 😂

I'm happily single and not sure I want that to change but for me the plus points are...
-laughing with someone about your personal "in jokes"

• being looked after when poorly
• cuddles

^just nice things about long term relationships not unique to marriage. I'm not sure why so.many people get married.

My list of things I don't miss would break the internet.
