Marriage? I don't think so...

Why marry?
Why?
It never lasts anyway.

Because marriage doesnt work in the world today
its and institution that is in decay
and if i, have love i wish to portray,
i will surely find another way.

I believe in marriage. My parents have been together for 30yrs, my grandparents 50+ yrs, and all my aunts and uncles on my mom's side are married w/o any divorces.


The thing is, marriage is a lot of work... Too many people marry too young and too early... Having kids too early too doesnt help as it can put a lot of stress on a marriage.... One day I hope I'll get married but I dont see that happening until my mid 30s at the earliest... The key is all about waiting until both people are mature and ready and going into with the mind set that marriage is a lot about compromises :)

I think Someuser's right. Half of marriages do last. And when folks get married for the first time later rather than sooner, particularly after getting decent educations--and when they don't get married because of an accidental pregnancy--the success rate is much higher.

Not all marriages are meant to work. I'm convinced of that. But there's a lot to be said for sticking through the rough spots and staying married. It certainly does take work, and it takes a strong desire to be married rather than divorced or single. It's a whole lot easier to throw the towel in, to be honest. I've been married for 24 years. My parents have been for 53 years. My in-laws for 51 years. And my grandparents were married 67 years and 63 years, respectively, when death did them part. So there are some marriages that do last.

I've been married for 40 years to the same dude. We rarely fight, we toke a lot, we love and support each other. We have a partnership for life. And no, it hasn't always been easy. There have been rough spots, but we got through them. With marriage, there is a sense of security lacking in "just living together" lacks. Marriage feels like a warm coat on a cold day. I do advise that you wait at least 5 years before having kids (I waited almost 7), since men (and frequently women) are usually not ready for the heavy duty stress that having kids brings and you need the time to party and really get to know each other. A little secret for a long marriage- Be sure to say "I love you" (and mean it) every day. :thumbsup: Marriage rocks!:dance:

Granny Storm Crow's right again! If we had it to do over again, we'd have waited longer to have a baby (we were only married two years when he came along) and longer to get married in the first place. Looking back, 22 and 26 were mighty young ages at which to get hitched, despite the fact that we're still together. Another helpful secret for a long marriage? Marry someone you love and are physically attracted to. There's a lot to be said for having lots of sex to keep the connection alive.

Im all for marriage. It's good thing, and of course it works in this day and age.

Just becayse some people are ready to rush into it and fuck everything up doesnt mean were all that stupid.

Finding someone you love and are physically attracted to is the hardest part.

i want to get married.

hell no.
70% ends.
if you stay married, chances are your mate strayed and you just dont know it.
and if you find out....
...its half.

Hell No. Keep your heart in the bank.
