Marriage is a lifelong commitment that involves hard work, communication, patience, and sacrifice.  If you are not man enough, or if she is not woman enough, to handle that truth, then no, marriage is not worth it.  However, there is no more rewarding relationship than the one between a man and his wife when they know what they are getting into and are willing to take the good and the bad.  I have spoken a load of shit.

I'm  happily married  :)
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end
with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice,
but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience,
understanding and a sense of humor.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow old.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.

Why do so many people expect it to be a 'lifelong' deal?

The presence of " 'til death do us part" in the vows leads to that expectation.

I love my wife. Known each other for 15 years, been married for 2. Absolutely beautiful with olive skin, nice tits and ass. She's my best friend and the only person I trust. Our relationship is solid and we have each other's back.

A happy marriage absolutely depends on the woman(and the man). To have everyone on here generalize it seems pretty short-sighted, in my opinion. Yeah, i've seen many marriages blow up but I could see the failure way in advance. Some guys just don't know what the fuck they're getting into with certain types of women.

But I will say that we don't have any kids and that's just fine with us.

I am only answering the question you asked.  I am not trying to "sell" you or anyone else on the idea.  I realize, of course, that marriage may not be for everyone.  Imagine the mass hysteria that would result from taking a "catch" like yourself off the market.

But don't many people change over time?

Isn't it more normal (than not) for couples to grow in different directions?

Most of the advice here appears to be generated from kids who have never been married. Loners with no one, furiously pounding their keyboard in the basement.

Excellent point.  People inevitably change over time.  That is where communication, commitment, and patience come in. 

I don't mean to come off as pushing "easy answers" because these things are certainly not easy.

Honestly the bottom line on marriage is the same as the bottom line on being single, when you are married sometimes you wish you were not and when you are single sometimes you wish you were married...Case Closed
