can I get? an ..Amen! on that!....:thumbsup:

I am sure my ex can refer you to a great lawyer if you need it for future reference.
Rebgirl: If you are in love nothing said here will persuade you otherwise. No one is spoiling it for anyone else. However going in with both eyes open and understanding the realities of a situation might save some people a lot of trouble. You can say you know someone, but in truth no one really ever knows anyone.
Actually, I believe in love, just as much as I believe in Orgasms. However I do not need someone else to be with me to give my life meaning.
I wish you and your man all the success in your relationship.
To all the happily married people out there: More power to you. :thumbsup:
I like how there is the title Marriage then a BIG THUMBS DOWN on this thread LOL.
That post reminds me of Guns don't kill people People kill people.Quote:

I wonder if there is something similar to a pre nup but more like a pre preg contract!Quote:

Divorce is not fair to children.
No it's not....but having two adults growing to hate each other over the years isn't either. Bad karma has a way of spreading.........Quote:

Makes more sense to me. We were handfasted. It's a legal ceremony, but the idea and sentiment behind the vows are a lot more flexible.
All that being said, I think marriage is like any other contractual agreement. People grow and change, and as they do, so do their wants and needs. Partners have to adapt and be flexible, or agree to move on.
I LOVE being married to Papi. For us, it was just a public declaration of our feelings and commitment. We already "felt" married in our minds, hearts, and souls. The wedding was just making it official. Everyday he looks at me and gets a shit eating grin on his face and says, "We're married!" He's so cute.
Congrats on that, Mrs. Greenjeans! When was the wedding?
We celebrated 24 years last month. Next year will be a full quarter century. Even when folks grow and change, they can sometimes do it successfully together. We were both such dumb kids when we tied the knot. Seems amazing to look back and realize we made it through.
