I've been married for 31 years now. It's not been easy, but we've made it work. The biggest thing for us is that we were rowing the boat in the same direction when it came to careers, family, kid, finances... I tell my kids all the time, if you are dating someone and you are always arguing and cannot agree on the major things, then walk away. Marriage is too hard going into it with a deficit.
My wife wanted to be a stay at home mom and so I worked like crazy to provide for that. In return I got a calm, warm, loving home to come to and a wife who was not stressed out from working two jobs (a job and raising kids). She had her bad days for sure, but she wasn't stretched to the brink like families are today. Live simply and within your means, slow down, resist the urge for you, your spouse, and kids to be in every single activity and don't live your life in a van at a McDonalds drive thru. Covid has actually helped families slow down and actually spend real time together... i've heard story after story of positive things coming out of this time. I still don't understand my wife 100% and she does drive me crazy at times, but we've been through so much together that we are a team at this point... the grass ain't greener on the other side... and at my age it's all brown.... LOL....
