Not too long ago, I read a blog full of reasons not to be married. Of course, on my own blog, I wrote a similar one. However, I believe marriage is a blessing, as long as you treat it as one. October 24, 2010 will make 7 years that I have been married. I got married when I was 18 and I do not regret one second of it. The years that we have been together have been a good experience and I look forward to spending many more years – my whole life – with my husband. Below, I am going to give you 7 things to love about being married …

7. Someone to Talk to

When you are married, you will always have someone there to talk to. When you had a crappy day at work and you need someone to tell your problems to, then your spouse is there for you to speak with. Surely, in a good marriage, your spouse will listen to your problems and give advice when you seek it.

6. Sex

When you are in a good marriage, then the sex is going to be good. It is also good to have one sex partner and knowing that you can trust your partner and know who he or she has been with. Take note that if the spouse has another sex partner, this obviously is not classified as being a good marriage.

5. Happiness

When you’re in a good marriage, you are going to have happiness. Need I say more about this? It’s really great waking up, looking next to you and see your partner smiling back (or still snoring) at you.

4. Learn from Each Other

When you are married, you will combine your knowledge together. He may know about electronics and if you are willing to learn about electronics and computers, then he will teach you. You may know about planting flowers and have a real green thumb and if he is willing to learn, then you will teach him.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

3. You Go through the World Together

When you are married, the two of you will become one and go through the world together. You will have someone by your side to help fight those obstacles that come with life.

2. Companionship

Companionship is one of the best things. When you are married, the two of you are going to share a lot of happy memories together. Happy memories with married life is going to start right after you say your vows.

1. The Love

The love in a marriage is strong. This is the type of love that you have waited your whole life to experience. If you have a good marriage, then this is a love like no other.

Those are 7 things to love about being married. There are so many things that I love about being married that it would take me a lifetime to list them all as new things keep popping up. So, if you’re married, what do you like about being married? Why do you like that?

@ DrÃ© - It made me smile to hear that you like reading my blogs. That is exactly the impression I want to have- I like to share my experience and I know that it will give some people hope. I always say that if my blog touches at least one person, then I have done my job. =) I don't know why Lisa bothers reading my blogs, it's almost as if she goes to me just to say rude things - if you have noticed that. DrÃ©, keep reading my blogs and commenting on them - I'd love to hear more from you. Melanie

I loved this blog. I am seventeen and I completely disagree with Lisa and Jane. I think it is really fantastic that you are still happy in your marriage since 50% of marriages end in divorce. It fills me with hope and I'm really excited to have that as well. It makes me happy to hear that you don't regret getting married so young. It just shows that not every young married couple will be a statistic. I would brag about it too. I would be shouting it from the top of a mountain and if nobody wants to hear it...that's okay. They don't have to listen. The same goes for your blog. It's YOUR blog. I am very happy that you are continuing because I love hearing about it.

Not that we aren't all thrilled to hear you brag about your marriage and husband of course.

This is my first time on this site, and i've read a lot of melanies posts. I really enjoy them. I particularly like this one. Because, I am about to get married myself. I can't wait, and I like seeing other people happy about their marriage. I'm sorry people are giving you trouble about that. One reason, they don't like hearing that other people are happy in a healthy relationship because maybe theirs failed. Or, they just simply really enjoy starting debates. I'm happy you are confident and happy in your marriage that you can write things to people that may like to read things like this blog. Good luck in your marriage, and keep posting.
