Did You Ever Regret Having Married Your Spouse?

A tearful friend told me that her biggest regret is having married her husband. She caught him again with another woman. Another friend is in the same boat for she found out she married a slothful, and irresponsible man who demands and eats a lot. I really feel so sad for them. On the other hand, I am so thankful that never have I regretted having married my man. How about you?

I am no longer married, as I was married for 35 years, and have been divorced for 8 years. I did love him very much, but not sure he felt the same way, as he is the one who wanted the divorce. i was devastated afterwards, but he really did me a favor, and now that I am single, I am not going to get married again, unless God puts one in my path that he wants me to marry. Being single really isn't all tha tbad, as I have lots of freedom, and that is important to me.

I admire your decision to remain single after divorce and just put everything in God's hand. This is the reason why you are happily single. Congrats!

@salonga It has been hard, and I have sturggeled, but no more, as God will provide and he will take care of my finances as well, of that I have no doubt. I don't know where I woud be without God.

Like you, I am one of the lucky ones who have a good man. If a man were unfaithful I wouldn't stay with him for two minutes. Are both of your friends staying with their men?

I am happy you found a good husband too. Regarding my friends; The first have decided to separate while the other is still patiently living with her husband for the sake of the kids.

@trivia79 They did not scrutinize first their husband before marrying them. It is too late for them to know the true personalities of these men.

It's sad to hear or read that statement, but I am sure it's not from you even when I just read the title. I always think I am blessed to have met my husband. Though he is not a perfect man, I am not either, we are happily being together and supporting each other, and most importantly, we are learning and growing together. I am also glad that I have always been trusting him, even when we had long distance relationship for about 4 years. He is a trusted man. Hope your friends will find their way out of the sadness.

@salonga I guess the long distance relationship made us stronger. I always think I am really lucky to have my husband, as he really helped me to grow to be a better person, to be whom I want to be. Without him, I am definitely not the one I am today.

I keep praying for them. You had a 4 year long distant relationship! I admire your relationship even more. Congrats for having a trustworthy husband. It is so hard for many couples to stay faithful to each other in such situation. I am happy to know you stood that test and still happy together.

I had two wives and they bot cheated on me but I have no regrets. They were both great women, cheating aside, and I had about 30 wonderful years.

@salonga Some people think that I made a bad choice. I say that I made good choices both times but people change. Jesus prayed all night and chose Judas as one of his apostles. Later, he changed and betrayed him. Satan also served God for a time but changed and rebelled. We will always have a choice as to what we do or don't do.

@1hopefulman Certainly, this life is a series of choices, God has given us the free will to choose which is which.

@SIMPLYD once a wife can no longer talk proudly of her husband and vice versa, then there is something wrong and this can weaken the marriage.

You have to be very careful in choosing. What matters most is inner beauty not only the outside appearance.

No, not all men are bad. If you will only read the comments below, majority are happy and thankful with their husbands. Just learn to not rush in marrying. You have to use your head and not just your heart and make sure you know him fully well before marrying.

My husband and I have had some really hard times and some times I didn't know if our marriage could overcome those times, but it did. I don't regret marrying my husband, he is the perfect one for me. We have been together 12 years and I am so grateful God brought us together. I think some people rush into marriage before truly getting to know someone and that's why later on they have regrets. Also some people think with time the other person will change and it never happens-then they start to regret their decision to marry them.

Rushing into marriage will most likely lead to failed marriage. I'm glad you don't regret having married your man. Marriage does have bad times not just good and that is the reality but for as long as you keep loving, faithful and patient with each others weaknesses and you keep praying for God's help. God will always keep you together.

That's nasty, unfortunately many people marry without thinking it through enough. It's abit like Russian roulette since people tend to present better sides of themselves in the initial stages.

You are right. Many just rush into marriage without even scrutinizing thoroughly the kind of person they will marry.
