How hard is it?

Hi all!
I was wanted to ask those of you who are in good, healthy relationships, how hard is marriage?
I spent many years in an abusive relationship, and now think I may be with my one Blush, so I'm having future thoughts!
I love the idea of marriage, but many people talk about how hard it is. Is it different to have a long term relationship without the ceremony and legal commitment?
Views please! Flowers

I don’t find it hard. If you’re with the right person then it shouldn’t be as you’ll be suited to each other. Not to say you’ll never get on each other’s nerves, or that you’ll have periods that re difficult due to circumstances, but if you’re with the person you should be with that shouldn’t be the norm.

Its not hard at all ,its amazing being married.my husband is my bestfriend we work together as a team.we have a hard life with a disabled child but we get each other through the badtimes. We dont fight often ,we just get grumpy at times.

I don’t think it’s hard at all. It’s certainly not harder than being single and lonely or being in a bad relationship. Life can be stressful sometimes, but nothing to do with being married. A good marriage should be a source of support and make life easier and happier.
