What's your most favorite thing about being Single/Married?

I've been married four times, three of them to sane women. My advice to any husband would be "never stop dating your wife."

I read this as "three of them to the same woman"

Negatives of being married? The main one is the extra hassle if it goes wrong, as opposed to just being partners. But the extra commitment and the legal security are well worth it, in my opinion. I want my wife to be able to make decisions on my behalf if any need making, and to have everything I own if anything happens to me. I don't want her to have to fight anyone.

I'd say that in life, you have to take some risks to get what you want. If you enjoy relationships, it's worth the potential of them going wrong. This is my... third long term relationship, and I learnt lots of things from my previous ones. I wouldn't have married the previous two because I didn't feel that level of confidence that I do now that it would be "forever".

Finally, some honesty! Did you have to really think about to remember that negative or is it a driving factor every time Mrs. rob asks you to do the dishes?? hehe
I would say the risk of divorce is a very real risk when you decide to get married. 
Do you ask yourself, "Oh no no maybe I shouldn't do it what if she gets sick of it and divorce me??". That would be a very stressful situation for me, I hate walking on eggshells. 

hmm. By far, the inability to walk out on your partner without any legal ramifications( or losing half your shit :/ ) seems to be the worst thing about being married.

If that kind of situation would be stressful for you, I absolutely urge you not to get married (yet, at least). In my opinion, you shouldn't marry unless you're feeling as close to 100% as possible that it's the right decision, in every possible way. Of course, I'm not a fortune teller. My marriage might have gone wrong. It might still go wrong. But I feel that risk is absolutely worth it for the joy of spending my life with Emma in a very special way.

When I became extremely ill, which was shortly after Emma moved in with me, I worried she would leave me. She hadn't been with me long, and taking me on was a massive deal because my life had basically been shattered. But she stood by me, not out of guilt or duty, but because she loved me. We were going to wait until I "got better" before we got married, but we faced the fact that I might never get better. We got married anyway, and I'm so glad we did. Now, I never worry she will leave me or I will leave her.
