Do you feel that after you got married it made your life a little better? How did it change your life? I was talking to someone earlier today and I said I’d like to find someone to settle down with soon, they told me why? You won’t be happier, your life won’t change there is not any magic that happens you just live with someone. This comes from someone who is NOT in a happy marriage (They have said this themselves.) I’m curious if others have the same view even if they are in a happy marriage? I think it would nice to have someone to be there for each other, help each other, share good times and bad times ect.. What’s your view?
Your friend is right about the fact that nothing magical happens when you get married.
You are the same exact people you were before you got married. "Finding someone to settle down with" means choosing every day to stay with them for the rest of your lives. Every single day.
It's so much more than just "having someone there."
I've been married 23 years, not all of them happy, and we still have to work at being great spouses.
True enough, the "I do" doesn't magically make everything new, shiny, pretty like a fairy tale.
It is learning how to share your lives and your home and remain individuals.
Not an easy task for anyone and do not ever "settle", wait for the right person for you.
First time was not good. I had to compromise who I was and became a miserable soul. I'd become something that was disgusting and I hated it. It festered into anger... A bad deal.
Second marriage, exact opposite. We strive to be ourselves and spurred on to be better people. It is a much better arraignment.

I know nothing magic happens, but I would think if you find the right person it would improve ones life some. The person I'm speaking of has been married many years, and has never been happy, this couple rarely spend any time together. I talk to other friends of mine and the say he/she is the best thing that's ever happen to them. One told me their SO gave them a better outlook on life. I often wonder what it would be like to have someone to share the good/ bad times with.
I can't imagine life without my wonderful husband. He's the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me. I am pretty sure that he feels the same way about me. At least I hope so!
