Is marriage this bad? ( I'm planning to get married but have cold-feet)

think it was St Paul who said that it is better to marry than to burn........then there's this collection of opinion:

Love is blind, but marriage is an eye-opener.

A successful man is one who makes more money that his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

Any married man should forget his mistakes...there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

There are 2 times when a man doesn't understand a woman: before marriage and after marriage.

Words to live by: Do not argue with a spouse who is packing your parachute.

A man said his credit card was stolen, but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.

The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.

Cosmetics: A woman's means for keeping a man from reading between the lines.

Marriage is grand -- and divorce is about 20 grand.

Married life is very frustrating

... In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
In the third year, they both speak, and the neighbors listen.

A gentleman, fresh out of gift ideas, bought his mother-in-law a large plot in an expensive cemetery.

On her next birthday, he bought her nothing.

She was quick to comment, loud and long, on his thoughtlessness. The gentleman said only one thing - "Well, you haven't used the gift I gave you last year."
