There is no reason in jumping into marriage, unless you think it's a sin to live out of wedlock. Even then, that isn't a reasonable reason.

The only good reasons are financial. Of course, all the bad reasons are financial. ... Sheesh, I should have stuck with my initial post - it's not worth it.

Look...nobody can answer this question for you. For some marriage is worth it, for others it's not. It all depends on what YOU want and what YOU'RE looking for.

My experience is this...marriage is sacrifice. You sacrifice being with other women to have the comfort and stability of life long companionship and a family. For me...that's not easy. I have been with lots of women and everyone is different. I have an insatiable appetite for women and it's very hard for me to be faithful (though I have made it so far.) The next sacrifice is that passion and affection give way to companionship. Sex becomes routine and uncommon.

So that's my analogy. I like being married because I have a wonderful family to come home to everyday, but I don't think I will get remarried if this does not work out. I just love women too much and not having sex as often as I want is a big problem for me.

Good luck bro...

all I have to say to a man who has it almost right...foreplay starts in the morning and it never ends.Many partners gets boring after a while too..no substance building and once you know someone inside and out no one can please them as well as you!...

larry you have no peace and much anger..the only things that are worth it are things you make worth it..to say all woman are incapable of love is to say all children were raised without love..we love men."Marriage" is not enjoyable for the most part.The word has become a bad one..the thing is marriage and kids and cleaning don't go together,they should always be kept seperate the marriage should always be treated like a buisness you want to profit from,your always investing constantly nurturing and enthusiastic about.To not invest the time means you lose your dime..and remember foreplay starts in the morning...

I can really identify with your premise Larry. After my first read of Mein Kampf I was unsure and thought the man mad. Then I did as you suggested and read it cover to cover 15 times and wow does the guy ever make sense now. Notwithstanding that I had to purge most other well written insightful works from my memory to memorize Adolfs. But it was so worth it.

My word man, women are not the evil monsters you so eagerly adopted as gospel. The paragraph above is purely sarcastic. Read it 15 times. I could take stock in a statement that there is no real love or people use one another or even men give love to obtain sex and women give sex to obtain love all posts here ad nauseum. But seriously, you read this drivel 15 times?


Don't accept this as overt criticism of your person please, but do you have any unresolved issues going back in your childhood? Women make the world tolerable. Imagine if they were not available. There'd be no world. Although I recently read that scientists have developed life in a laboratory from a single female egg without the benefit of fertilization. (I'm now wondering if that was such a good thing to share with you) It seems that men are no longer necessary to the process. This phenomenon has occured before in humans and happens with regularity with other mammals in capivity. Virgin birth, imagine that. Had to be God huh? How'd I get to here anyway?


Predators you say, hmmm that's not been my experience. But better luck to you in the future.

Marriage is worth it, I had been fishing for the proper one for years, fished out few boots, one or two dangerous snakes, a lot non-edible fish, and was attack several times by many... but all my wounds, scratches, cuts and bruises are worth it the efford if at the end i find a good fish. So yes, sometimes you must jump into the water head first, with few clues about what is out there to look for it.

Marriage can be great if there are two working in the same phase... communication, and careful selection is the key.

In response to this post, you are absolutely correct, however, I urge women to also heed this advice. The courts are NOT fair in any way to either gender, something I can definitely speak about.
When I married my last husband, I had a good job and owned my own home. This man, saw a widow whom he wined and dined, and made to feel as though this relationship was THE one, all the while he was planning to take me for everything, and with the courts help, he accomplished just that. The court HANDED him my house on a silver platter after 2 years of marriage hell. There were no children involved to justify this decision. To top that off he also caused me to lose my job by calling my supervisor and getting him involved! I was jobless before I knew what happend, and owing several thousand dollars in legal fees, plus all my credit cards that he had maxed out. Thankfully I did receive some money for the house, but still took me a long time to recover financially and emotionally.
As you can probably imagine, I won't be getting married again, that is for sure, but it was definitely a hard way to learn this lesson. Maybe I can keep someone else from making this mistake, I hope so. When they want to get married, RUN!


Marriage, Bubonic Plague, And Infected Warts: If You Have A
Choice, Go With The Warts

Fred Reed

If I could offer a young man one piece of sage advice, it would be this:

Don't get married.

Don't do it. Come the divorce, as come it probably will, the courts will systematically shear you of your children, your house, and huge amounts of your income for twenty years. Don't do it. It isn't worth it. Nothing is.

My saying this usually brings, from women, cries that I'm an extremist or woman-hater. No. The problem is not women, but the courts. Men can behave every bit as reprehensibly as women, though they go about it differently. But the judicial system, which is politicized to the gills, utterly favors women over men in divorce cases, without remorse, decency, or concern for children.

Should you doubt this, read, before you pop the most foolish of questions, From Courtship to Courthouse by the divorce lawyer Jed Abraham.*

Yes, marraige is worth it. I guess being raised Catholic I have it branded in the mind. I'm 29, haven't found the right one yet, but that is my ultimate goal. I only plan on getting married once, so the girl that gets me on my knee will truly be the one.

Wow, that was extremely well said. A woman after my own heart.

In fact I do, BDS. Check out this thread http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts2609771.aspx ... as a Catholic, you should be able to identify with it in at least some manner.

"Marriage" is only a piece of paper. Only actions and feelings speak the truth.

Marriage is built on trust and an equal partnership. Men who think of women as lesser individuals, do not make good marriage partners. Many people who get married have this idea of the perfect life that they are going to live on some fairy tale lane in somewhere USA. The truth is marriage is about give and take. It is also a sacred institution that God blesses those with. In this day and age a lost concept is that a man and a woman save themselves for their wedding night. Now the ongoing philosophy is, "try out the equipment before you buy it." Those who do not see marriage as a sacred institution anymore are usually those who have been badly hurt, or those who married strictly for physical attraction. This is becoming an extremely difficult world to live in when there are those who want to convince others that all marriage is bad. True love is a scarce comodity that money can't buy. If you really love someone and want to marry them, then don't let opinions of others convince you to go with the flow.

" Let me ask My divorce Lawyer" that answers the question. Married or just living together theres no diference. You know the woman your dating is not the one for you or anyone when she already has a devorce lawyer probably giving her advice along the way.
