I am not bored being married. I was very careful in choosing my wife, and am very happy to be with her. She is very nice and very smart and very reasonable. I like those qualities very much, and am very glad to be with her. I have been married to her over 20 years. If I could go back in time and not marry her, I would certainly not do that. I am very happy with my situation.
For anyone contemplating marriage, I recommend thinking very carefully about what you want out of life first, to make sure that whatever that is, is compatible with you getting married to whomever it is you are contemplating marrying. And also, be very careful about the person you are marrying. I recommend not getting married if your head and your heart do not both agree that it is a good idea. (If you need those metaphorical terms explained, just ask.)
I appreciate this advice. I understand the premise behind marriage, but if two people love one another, why involve the government?
