I find that men who are down on marriage usually have a pretty crappy marriage/partner or have witnessed stressed relationships. Marriage is great if your partner is great and you are truly a match for each other. It's as simple as that.

I've also been similarly puzzled by this idea that marriage is such "work" - again I don't think it really is if you have the right partner. It's just like if you don't have a great job - it really seems like work, but if you truly love what you're doing, it rarely feels like work. Maybe I'm just one of a very lucky few though. I was engaged at a young age with someone, and it was constant work, frequent friction - we split up after 5 years of being together and it was the best decision I ever made. In the end, we just weren't compatable. Now I'm in a great marriage with someone who is perfect for me.
