Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her. Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!

Yep, divorce lawyer. Hasn't soured my view of marriage, just my view of some of the people who get married.
Glad that it hasn't changed your views on marriage for yourself. Honestly there are some people that should be put through a marathon before they get married.

My cousin for instance...was dating her ex for 4 years...they got married and she left him after 16 months. Honestly I don't even know why they bothered. She just found out that he's getting married AGAIN next year....

I guess practice makes perfect???

7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.
That's true, it was in a news story a while back. I don't recall the details, but there's a culture where a divorce is done by the husband saying "divorce, divorce, divorce." The woman claimed the man said that in his sleep one night, and they were therefore divorced.

I've managed to avoid getting married up until now; and I am forever grateful for it.

Not only was I not ready to get married, I was far-from-ready to deal with the change in attitude as soon as she decided it was "serious."

Marriage is great so long as the woman you're marrying has a healthy view of the institution in these modern days. Most IMHO don't.

It will be 29 years on 1 May 2008, and my wife and I have been together for 31 years. We're still best friends too.

35 years here. My wife's sister (a real piece of work) married a guy. They had two kids. Then she caught him in an affair and they got a divorce. Then he married the lady he had the affair with. Then she caught him in an affair and they got a divorce. Then he married the lady he had the second affair with. Then they got a divorce and he remarried his second wife. Then he went to Las Vegas on business, picked up a woman in a bar, and took her back to his hotel room. When he woke up, he was in his hotel bed, hooked up to an IV, with a kidney surgically removed. At the emergency room, they said it was a very professional job.
