Is it just women who love being married?
A while back I started a blogring called “I Love Being Married” – because I do. Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I’m absolutely mad about my awesome wife. And it’s not because we’re excitable newlyweds. We’ve been married 23 years next month. I just haven’t gotten over the amazement that she chose me. (As for her … well, she got the bad end of the deal.
)Anyway, tonight I was looking through the members of the blogring to see if anyone new had joined and noticed something new. There are fourteen members of the ring – thirteen women plus me!
What’s up with that? Are women the only ones who like being married? And if that’s the case, why? Am I an emotional male anomaly that just happens to love my wife? I don’t get it.
Then again, maybe there are more women on Xanga, or more women that happen to read this blog.
So what’s the answer? Do women like being married more than men or is it something else?

Not a lot of guys on xanga, compared to the number of girls. And I am not sure most guys like to talk about relationships. At least that is what I like to think. It can’t just be us girls who are happily married.
Married for 29 years here… and love it too. Just not one for joining blogrings. I joined a couple when I first got on Xanga but didn’t really see any real use to it.
Bikeman regularly tells me how glad he is to be married to me….30+ years! Only, he doesn’t do Xanga!
I personally can echo your second commenter about blogrings. I am most happy to be married, thank you very much. It was worth waiting for the right person! That was over 21 years ago!
@Singing4sDad - @bonzojferardi - you join them because then you publish your blog to them and you get a little more publicity.
my husband has always wanted to be married. probably from the age of 13 on, he wanted to be.

Been there, done that, no publicity. No nothing. Wrong blog rings perhaps?
@bonzojferardi - hmmm… maybe. i don’t get lots of hits from blogrings, but i do get probably 2 or 3 a week, sometimes more. they’ve increased since i changed my “about me” to a little more interesting. (since that’s what shows up on the blogring page, not your blog. makes perfect sense, eh?)

Some blogrings are more active than others. “Bloggers Born Between 1965 and 1979″ and “Christianity is Not Intellectual Suicide” are much more likely to bring hits than “IRISH PEOPLE ROCK!” I think the Irish people get distracted with other things.
@SpiderDad -
I get a couple hits a year from the blogrings I’m on.
Women are more likely to admit it more than men I guess.
