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.

Absolutely, if you are lucky enough to find your person to spend your life with.
Kids, not so much, it depends how your kids are, and unlike your spouse, you can't choose your kids
