Marriage
What is some advice on marriage? The do/do not's? The must's/must not's? Things you do to make it work? Is it more difficult or the same difficulty to raise kids and have a family? What are your experiences?

And if that doesn't work, find a rich elderly lonely widow in poor health, grab her hand, and sprint to the altar.

 ).And keep in mind that the whole idea behind Marriage is that you are committing to the welfare and happiness of someone else. If you are constantly thinking about what you want to do without almost immediately thinking- will this make my husband/wife happy, then you are destined for a either a short marriage or a very unhappy life. You make a commitment for life. Don't give up the first time you have a disagreement. You are still two different people- but you promised to have a life together- so if you remember the first point- you will eventually come to a resolution that makes you both happy because the other is. Trust me- I'm often a hard guy to live with, but we're closing on 30 years and that's because both my wife and I do care about each other's happiness and are most happy when the other is, and she knows that and gets past the momentarily unpleasant times that comes along with a husband's loudmouth or selfishness (or vice versa- it does work both ways you know.) That was kind of an open ended philosophy question- and it did have a second part: "is it more or less difficult with kids?" It's more complicated with kids- but it's also ultimately the most wonderful feeling to be a parent. It's trite to say that "it's all about the kids" because I don't believe that- but as a parent you have an awesome responsibility which includes being able to be a disciplinarian, role model, friend and basic resource provider, and there is no break. On the other hand- the joy and happiness that you also get with being a parent can't be overstated. It's a really good tradeoff in my book- more stress, more hassle, way more joy.
