What marriage is, NOT

For many of us (single people) We look from the outside and expect to see married people in this tranquil, serene, lake of beauty, love and understanding. When in fact the true colors of a marriage are different.

Lets me state that I personally think Marriage is NOT

1. Marriage is NOT SEX. It's not a license to have sex. It's not 24x7x365 days of sex sex sex!
   Married people do enjoy having sex, but not as much as most wish/hope/think/want.
   
2. Sex does NOT resolved All the problems:
   "Oh baby, I got no money to buy you a Coach bag, but we can have sex instead" - Will never fly! But "Oh baby, I got you this Lexus because I love you" You "might" score if you do that!
   
3. Marriage is NOT all calm and tranquil.
   It's a fact of life. When two minds coexist in a confined space they WILL clash. Fights are an essential part of marriage
   
4. Married life is NOT easier
   Single folks think that being married relieves them while they delegate everything to the other person. Fact is, if you're the wife, you have A LOT of more things you're SUPPOSED to do. And if you're the husband, you have a ton of chores, Mister!
   But you do get Free nagging to do your chores!
   
5. Married people do NOT save more money,
   Fact is, even though single folks tend to eat out more, go out more, travel more, visit places more and all of these fun activities come at a price that married people avoid. But unless the two parties in a marriage work, then chances are the single income (spent on 1 person) will go a longer way than a dual income (spent on 4 persons, bigger house, two cars, Daycare, supplies, diapers, safety equipment, tuition ...etc)
   
6. Married people do NOT have more fun,
   Once all the whining, chores, nagging, and complaining is all done, there's hardly any time left to do anything useful.
   And the minute they get pregnant, forget about night lift, movies or anything like that!
   
7. Married people do NOT get less nagging
   Instead of your parents nagging about you getting married. Or finishing your degree, or studying. Now you have 4 parents nagging about these things AND ONE MORE THING, "Are you pregnant, yet?" not just from parents. But from random people you don't even know
   
8. Married people are NOT smarter, wiser or more respectable
   It's true that they have gone through a different (exciting?) experience. But that means that they will be limited in the kind of experiences they're going to have. (That's why I recommend that guys only marry after the age of 30, and ladies after the age of 27. So they would have lived, gained experience and enjoyed as much as they can)
   
9. Marriage is NOT a license to have kids, although I believe it's a prerequisite
   What the hell does that mean you might say. Well, if people are married, this doesn't mean that they necessarily must have kids, and immediately! In fact, they need to learn to be good parents first. Get some education on that. Popping up babies like rabbits is not what humans are made for.
   
10. And my final point. Marriage is really NOT that bad.
    Lets face it, it's not that hard. It's not that painful and it's most certainly not going to kill you. (Unless you marry a psychopathic serial maniac murderer, but how could you know after she rocked the dance floor and a couple of mojitos?)

At the end, I just would like quote Socrates here as he said "I advise every man to get married, if she turns out to be a good wife, he will live a happy life. If not, he will become a philosopher". I guess it's a win-win situation

(Speaking of Mojitos, I think this is the sexiest, coolest commercial I've ever seen in my life) Although, I don't drink, or recommend drinking. But you can consider this to be Mint Lemonade :)
