In honor of I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE we sought Searchlight employees' opinions of the "Big M" -- and asked them to fill in the blanks:

* For those who are or have been married: "Marriage is ____."

* For those engaged, single or anything-but-married: "Marriage seems ____."

Starting with our singles/fiancees/other non-married's, below are the answers we received.

 

Marriage seems...

  • "Like a great idea."
  • "Like one trip to Home Depot after another."
  • "Forever."
  • "To be LOTS OF WORK."
  • "Exhausting."
  • "Like the fast track to beer bellies and rotund rumps."
  • "Like an amusement park -- you really want to go, but when you get there it's only fun for short periods of time, you spend way more money than you thought you would, and you end up just wanting out! Stick to carnivals that just roll through town. Cheaper, easier, way more fun."
  • "Unnecessary."
  • "A pipe dream for the gays."
  • "Nice but time-consuming."
  • "Permanent."
  • "Awful?"
  • "To be very difficult to make work."
  • "Like death, but with nicer linens."
  • "Great/hard/exciting/wonderful if you're with the right person."
  • "Long."
  • "Unnecessary."
  • "Like a very tired subject for sitcoms and movies."
  • "An adventure (that is scary as hell) but I hope to take part in it some day."

 

Marriage is...

  • "Really hard."
  • "Fraud."
  • "Like pizza. When it's great, there's nothing better. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. But when it's rancid, let's face it, you're gonna lose more than your lunch."
  • "Not for the selfish or ugly."
  • "Hard work."
  • "Friendship with benefits."
  • "A lot of work, A LOT of work, a lot a lot a lot of work."
  • "Like a dream come true."

Marriage is a joke at best,

Marriage is a joke at best, as a guy that filed for divorce of a cheating whore of 16 years and final hearing is 15 Apr 2008! I couldnt be more pleased!

There is NOTHING a woman could possilbe offer me to marry her, no woman on the planet are worth it! Some men just need marriage cause otherwise they could get sex!

Actually other than SEX I have no use for women!

Marriage is a gift from God

Marriage is a gift from God and from it comes children. Once married, it is definitely a lifetime committment (no exceptions). Make the decision making BEFORE getting married, not afterward. With love, patience, faith and kindness, marriage is the best thing that can ever happen in a person's life.

nothing lasts forever. if

nothing lasts forever. if your marriage is based on love, as time goes by, u will come at the situation that will make u feel u are living with a bussiness family partner. Interests for each other will decrease and for others will increase and that bring us in the situation that we cheat. When we start to cheat, it is better to get divorced because u will not continue to live with partner but with servant. what evere happens i think that the best is being honest and face the truth wheather u (he/she) like it or not.

marriage is a lifetime

marriage is a lifetime commitment to your partner once you enter to this relationship theres no fall back..marriage is painful when both of you are far away from each other you can never know if your man is have a mistress...once you have a instinct just believe in it..we all women have a intinct that man doesnt have...we could forgive our hubby but its not easy to forget it..it like a scars that never remove in our skin...it depends on us if we still continue our relationship with them...once is enuf..never scared that you cant live w/o him just think about the kids...

Marriage is good in the

Marriage is good in the beginning then it soars as time goes by. For women your always guessing, you never know when your man has slept with another woman. You know something is not right but you have no idea how to find out and its this pain that leads to lack of sex in relationships.And you dont want to follow them because you feel you will either hurt yourself or it will be you unlucky day/week or month when he hasnt been playing around.
Another biggest worry for married women is the fact that they are always scared of getting funny diseases from their men or that a man may have children else where.
All you have to do is just PRAY PRAY PRAY!

I think marriage is a beautiful thing, to make it work both parties need to forget about all the fairy tales, pull up the sleeves and get down to some real hard work. Do not get anything for granted, if a crack shows up work on it straigh away.

i agree MARRIAGE IS

i agree MARRIAGE IS Wonderful!!!! Stressful when you want it to because YOU choose to fall out of love. Why not try doing something new and different everyday for your sweetheart? See, when you really LOVE someone there's no room for falling out of love...on the contraire, it makes you find more ways to keep it up and going. communication is the key!! so why choose to stress??? Go ahead and make a fool of yourself FOR your sweetie ONLY...it is part of being in LOVE. Don't deprive yourself the chance to be happy in love. no inhibitions!!! say it and do it!!!
