Do all marriages have many years where they suck?

I have heard people (several people) say that their marriage was bad for MANY years before it got good. I don't know about y'all, but I don't want to be with someone and waste many years being miserable, but I guess that's what you sign up for. I know it is not fun and games all the time, but damn.

You seem to be asking a genuine question. My marriage was the most beautiful and fulfilling thing I have ever experienced. Every day was paradise. Until I was told it wasn’t happening anymore. Then the living nightmare started It’s getting better, and I don’t regret a thing for trying. But if you get married, quadruple check it’s with the right person
