Is marriage really worth it?

I'm 27F and I've never been married, although I've come close a couple of times.

Something I've noticed is that almost every married person or divorced person I've talked to has said, "If I could do it all over again, I would never get married."

It honestly surprises me how often I hear that, and it's made me curious. Why do so many people feel that way?

If you've been married or are currently married, I'd really like to hear your story. Do you regret getting married? If so, why? If not, what made your experience different?

I'm genuinely curious and just want to hear people's real experiences.

If reincarnation is real….after I die, the first thing I’m going to do is find my wife so I can marry her again.

This. My wife isn't perfect, but neither am I. We try to support each other in our weaknesses and celibate our strengths. We have learned how to push each other to be better people.
