prior to marriage it's all about the courtship and keeping your mate. Plus making it exciting. After marriage when kids come along it's exhausting. Then it turns into trying to keep the kids from hearing or seeing.

Now let me explain the 3 stages of sex after you get married:

First year you have sex all over the house all the time.

Second to maybe fith year it turns into bed room sex and like it says you only have sex in the bed room.

Fith year on it becomes hall sex. You pass each other in the hall and she says FU and you turn around and say no FU.

Congrats and I wish you two a life full of joy.

Yeah, I don't really get that. She and I have been having "relations" all over the house all the time for a little over 7 years. Maybe we're exceptions to the rule. Granted we're young and things could change, but I don't see why they have to.

GM hanging in there man! Every marriage in this world is different but one thing is consent is it takes work kids or no kids. I have been married 3 years; has very day been paradise, hell no but there has been more great days then bad days.

Listen to the song Love like Crazy

YouTube - Lee Brice- Love Like Crazy

So you don't end up like this country song:

YouTube - Highway 20 Ride

Sometimes life is like a country song!=)

Marriage and family is awesome but it takes work, hard work. I can remember my son was on his third night of being sick and we were up with him all night every night he was 16 months old and he looked at me at 3am or some ungodly hour and just gave me a huge unsolicited hug; number one highlight of my life right there.

If you only got married to get laid, probably doomed to fail.

That's pretty awesome stuff. I got married for many reasons. The top ones include: She's the best friend I've ever had, I love her more now than I ever have (known her for 8 years, together for 7), and I want to build a family with her, and we challenge each other and bring out the best in one another. We are a great team in many aspects. Kick ass "relations" doesn't hurt either. I know things change in life, but there is no doubt in my mind that I can happily spend the rest of my days with her.

All that said, I totally understand how much work relationships are. They're a living thing, and just like any living thing, they will die without care, attention, and nuturing. If marriage was so easy, everyone would do it, and do it successfully.

My eyes are wide open, trust me. She and I actually almost broke up about 3 years ago. We had just moved back up here from Gainesville, and we were both in very tough situations on the job front. We didn't have a very good living situation, money was really tight, and we weren't seeing each other much because of conflicting schedules. We were like two ships passing at night for the better part of 6 months. I felt us growing apart, and we had so much outside stress, when we were together we were fighting a lot. We nearly called it quits, but instead we rededicated ourselves to each other. It took some time, but things got better and better, and the flame was re-light so to speak. We both learned a lot from those tough times. We're better for it today, and it's definitely a positive to have persevered through that kind of adversity prior to a marriage. It was like training in a way I guess.

I like that song Love Like Crazy. Coincidentally, our first dance at our wedding was Crazy Love by Van Morrison.

Damn, we might have to re-title this thread Sex In The Parking Lot...or something like that?!

Good advice floating around though. I like Matty's, happy wife happy life. I shared that with someone last night.

And you fell for that ???? Next time she says "I have a headache " , take her over your knee and spank her ... she will quickly forget about that " headache ", and you should be good to go . Oh , don't bitch me out if you end up with a black eye

GM you need a BroncoGator to celebrate your wedding!

Congrats Scud! So happy for you.

- Aruba was indeed awesome. I loved it, can't wait to go back.

- Sex with the same person over and over loses some of the excitement, no doubt. If you've been together seven years you probably experienced this in some form already. I'm your age, but from what I read as you age your hormones naturally change, so both of you will feel a decreased appetite at times in your life. But it's OK, it's not about quantity it's about quality. As long as it's good for both of you, you'll be enjoying life. Like anything else, you get back what you put into it (pun intended).

- The when to have kids matter is one that draws strongly varied opinions. I had my first at 27 so I guess I'd consider that on the young side these days. There's no right or wrong. If you have them real early then maybe you're not mature enough to be a parent, maybe not financially secure enough, maybe you just have things you want to do first. Maybe you're not done growing up yourself and aren't fit to give somebody else guidance yet.

Then again though, if you have them too late, you risk birth defects (women over 35 have a much higher chance of having babies with Down Syndrome or Autism). You also wonder if you'll have the energy to keep up with an 8 year old when you're 45. And you burden yourself financially with consecutive huge bills in your 50's and 60's. First feeding a growing teenager, then right into college, then right into your retirement. Leaves you little time/flexibility to travel the world, or whatever.

I personally think age 30 (for the woman) is the perfect balance of all of the above. But everyone's different, every situation is different, so there's no right or wrong.

TMC and Matty give the view of the married couple without kids, but let me tell you that as someone who has young ones, don't be scared of it. It seems like a big scary thing that will totally change your life. But if you and your wife accidentally get pregnant, it will end up being the happiest thing. Fun does not end, the definition of fun simply changes. If you and your wife love each other and know how to live a fun life together, kids won't change that. Promise.

Now that I have kids, I don't find myself looking forward to my 50s when I can travel the world with my wife, I look forward to taking them to the beach and watching their eyes light up when they see the ocean.

Life's a fun ride, it's all good, don't fear any of it. You're a well-adjusted guy, you'll be happy with anything life throws your way.
