    Best: A constant confidant and support through life.

    Worst: The fact that you share everything, especially private living space, means they will see you at your worst.

    Best for man: Nothing

    Best: Having that special someone there for life. Someone that cares, someone to support you, someone you know that’s going to be there when you need it.

    Worst: Hoping it’s going to stay the same throughout the marriage and if it doesn’t, that piece of paper gets really expensive. Sadly, it’s cheaper to just date.

    Best thing probably is the company and having a child. Worst thing is your mother in law.

    Kids can be difficult but one day when they are all grown up and you are sitting around the Christmas tree together…there is nothing absolutely nothing better.

    The best thing is you have a friend, to sleep with play with eat with laugh with, the worse you lose a part of yourself, you are no longer an individual. Our sex life got better as we aged together, but also to honest it got predictable and boring as well, he didn’t want to experiment, and I grew tired of trying to entice him to do other things. So…….that

    In a good marriage, nothing. It’s a formality and nothing should actually change other than some superficial tax and money stuff.

    You should have been at the “marriage” part of the relationship for a while before making what can be the worst decision of your life that has the singular upside (within the relationship) of… other people knowing that you are officially married…

    The best: having your person to do life with and create a family with

    The worst: it can be very challenging joining two people. Marriage is sacrificial and you have to be willing to make those sacrifices and adjustments and pivots for the sake of your partner.

    Best thing? A partner for all problems life throws at you.

    The worst? When neither of you have opinions about what’s for dinner!

    Worst: nothing is ever ever ever spontaneous anymore

    Best thing is simply companionship.

    Worst thing, complacency.

    Best: a best friend for life

    Worst: one of you will die first

    Worst – family. All their opinions, pressure, input…

    Best – you marry your person and officially get to do life together

    There isn’t anything a marriage can bring to a relationship that just being together can’t.

    Best: Hanging out with your best friend every day and going through life together.

    Worst: You will see each other’s shit. I still have yet to see his (not that I want to, but fair is fair) because he has IBS and I think he worries I’ll call an ambulance so he’s very thorough, but yeah it’ll happen to you.

    The availability of sex and the lack of it

  27. sexrockandroll Avatar

    Best part: Life partner and specific to marriage, a number of legal rights surrounding the partnership that make things more convenient.

    Worst part: Either you will pass on or they will pass on and the other person will be a widow(er).

    Best thing: you can refer to them as “my wife/husband” in conversations.

    Worst thing: Literally worst move for any guy to make tactically speaking. No win scenarios for the guy exist.

    Best thing, love and trust beyond what you’ve ever known.

    Worst thing, you’re out of the game and will become more boring. It just happens, but it’s cool because of that best thing.

    The best: feeling constantly loved.

    The worst: not having control of any aspect of your life.

    The best thing is if there is never a worst thing. That’s the best marriage and most happiness a person could ask for . This only comes from 2 soul mates the truly love each other unconditionally for who they are and only see and hear one an another as no other has any affect on them 4-life

    Best: Having someone who has your back, uplifts you, encourages you…a Partner.

    Worst: one dies, making decisions with the input of the other person (it’s not the worst just annoying),

    Also from a financial perspective, if one of you dies while married, the other is next of kin and inherits the majority unless a will says different.

    If you don’t marry and the other dies, you’re not the next of kin. You’re far from it.

  37. Prettydiepie Avatar

    Best thing is the memories and being with someone who guides and grow together
    Worst is possibly not being compatible with each other or dying ☹️

    If u marry the right person. The best is u get to be with them every day. No worst. If u marry the wrong person, the worst is u get to be with them every day. No best.

    Best: Knowing that when I get home from work, my best friend will be there to talk to and eat dinner with and make a million stupid jokes with.

    Worst: When we got married, he lost a big chunk of his disability benefits, and every time I get a raise or a promotion at work, he loses another chunk, so we can literally never get ahead.

    That “honeymoon phase” never lasts. It replaced by reality and that’s when the real work begins.

    The good times and the bad times. But I’d rather do them with my partner than anyone else.

    Best: have a party with all your family and friends

    Worst: you’re paying for it

  47. SummerLove85 Avatar

    Best : Making the commitment to someone you love with all your heart

    Worst : The cost of a wedding AND having to switch your surname over to his for everything. That has proven to be quite annoying in my opinion lol

  48. GutRasiert Avatar

    If things work out you have a deep love and supporting relationship with your partner that is like nothing else. But there’s a s*** ton of suffering to get there and you could have a whole difficult decade

    Being trapped with someone you don’t love and then finding you DO love someone outside the marriage but you can’t be with them.

    Getting married: best=throwing a big party to your tastes, worst= money to do that

    Being married: best= feeling like it’s us against the world and also it’s us in our own silly fun adventure world, worst= annoying things can snowball if you don’t make an effort 

  52. ForlornCouple Avatar

    Got married at 20. Been together for 15 years, 4 kids. Best thing: Growing with each other. Worst thing: sometimes working through that growth can be REALLY hard. Communication will help alleviate this IMMENSELY. It’s difficult to open up, but God damn does it feel so good to drop weight and level when we need to. 10/10 do it again.

    Best thing: You always have someone to share food with.

    Worst thing: You always have to share your food.

    The worst thing about getting married is if you have to do a name change. I still have things in my maiden name and at least one thing in my previous married name because it’s a huge pain in the ass and there’s always that one company that wants you to mail in a form.

    Almost married:
    Best- becoming more like each other
    Worst- losing parts of yourself

    54% of marriages end in divorce.

    Marriages don’t last. Love fades. Looks fade.

    I’m never getting married and will at most be common law with sone form of prenup in case things go south.

    Best: you feel amazing in the moment

    Worst: when you finally realize that they’ve already or probably will lie and cheat on you.

  61. KuyaRambo Avatar

    Probably the best thing about being married to my wife is that I finally found someone that accepts me for all my flaws and supports me unconditionally with my interests, hobbies, and aspirations. I’ve struggled with low self esteem and throughout the years she’s really helped me feel better about myself and it’s such an amazing feeling when you now someone just loves you with no strings attached.

    The worst thing honestly was just not getting married sooner so that we could have started our married life in our late twenties (this was all my fault though, I was too worried about getting set up in life before proposing). A close second to this would be just not meeting her sooner just so we could have more time together (I met her when I was 26 and she was 22).

    You can’t live with them and you can’t live with them.

  64. shel_lcoolj Avatar

    Best thing: Married my best friend, get to build a life with them.

    Worst thing: Turns out getting married highlights awful behaviour in your friends and family & you’ll learn that you really know a lot of attention seekers (everyone from parents to lifelong friends) determined to make a scene and make the day about them in whatever small way they can. In short, you grow to dislike people you’d previously considered your inner circle.

    For us the best thing has definitely been being able to partially opening up our marriage by starting swinging together.. it has drastically improved our relationship and communication in general. And we both get to have fun exploring kinks and fantasies together. We are currently considering taking things one step further and start sharing pics and vids of our swinger life on Reddit 😜

    Other than that, not much has changed. We are still best friends and lovers, as we were before getting married. There’s no “worst thing” for us ❤️

    The Best Thing: You have someone who cares for you.
    The worst Thing: You don’t have freedom to go anywhere.

  67. desolatedisaster Avatar

    Are there ANY plus sides to marriage that aren’t warm and fuzzy? I know people who have lived together for years and have kids together that aren’t getting married because it’s a better tax write off to file single. All of these “bests” are just like “you always have someone there” but why tf do people get married otherwise? Religion doesn’t count.

    You’ll always have someone to scratch your back.
    You can never make a decision with just yourself in mind. Ever.
