In my experience, the first three years is porn, the second three years is porn with bitching, and the last three years is mostly bitching. With a big horrible extraction of time, material goods, and money at the end. Then you marry someone else.

Was it Heinlein that set up the scifi story in which marriages were 3 year contracts?
Pretty sure it was. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" might have been his earliest use of it. But that's just how it worked out for me. Five marriages in, I'm pretty much an expert.
you've been married 5 times?????? Hilarious! I never bothered with it since I tend to get tired of men after 9 months! When the thrill is gone, I tend to vanish. I'm a perpetual teen in my mind...
I like marriage, I believe it keeps women who want to get married happy for a little while longer.
I stayed married for a long time when my son was born (almost 18 years) but my average is much lower than that. I am not an easy man to live with, and I choose strong willed women. The clashes are passionate! Great fun in retrospect, hard to survive at the time.
I usually grew to find my spouses and partners more interesting as I went along, but also more annoying. I would marry 3 of the 5 again, if I were assured it would only be for the first part.
