| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/12/2006 6:08:32 PM | You bet!!!
I think two important things have to happen first though. You have to know your significant other, and I mean really know them. No secrets, games, lies. You have to know their strengths and weaknesses going into marriage because Lord only knows you cannot change another human being. No one has that power - we only have the power to change ourselves. That brings me to my second point - knowing yourself. You have to know (REALLY know) and be comfortable with who you are and what you're all about. You have to know your own strengths and weaknesses and be able to bring them to the table honestly. I think if you can do that, then a second marriage can truly succeed. I don't look at the end of my first marriage as a failure - I'd rather look at it as an opportunity to start fresh and learn from the mistakes I made the first time around. Maybe it sounds silly, maybe not. True love does exist, even for those of us who maybe didn't get it right the first time. | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/12/2006 6:21:59 PM | Marrage? For many years thought...hell no way, not again. But now, or soon, I would be open to it. It doesn't "have" to happen though. I would like to have a relationship where I go to sleep with my true love and wake up together each day. Living together is pretty close to being married. In my opinion. | |

Now to answer the real question... Would i get married again? Yes... I believe in the concept of marriage... and I know that all men out there are not the same as my hopefully soon to be ex-husband (if I can ever find him to get my divorce) If i can find a guy that we feel our lives are made complete by being with each other then yes I would get married! | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/12/2006 8:13:14 PM | | I only plan to marry once, still hasn't happened yet. I would need to be with a person for a year before marring them. | |
|
| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/12/2006 8:23:54 PM | hmmm ... i'd have to say no ... she'd have to be a super hero or something for me to want to marry again ... i find women are waaaaaay too much of a headache than what they are worth ... now i dont need hate mail ... tis only me opinion
she'd have to not have the qualities i've seen in most of the women for me to even consider the notion of wanting her to live with me or me with her ...
Easy E put it best .... not every woman is a B!tch but every woman has a lil b!tch in her  | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 5:52:06 AM | Is there a tax advantage?
A life long committed relationship with the right person is my ultimate goal. Having already raised a family I don't see any value to getting married once again but understand the symbolism and importance the ring and being "Queen for a Day" has for women.
If the right young woman came along and she had never been married I would consider doing it again. Given that marriage is as easy to get out of as a blind date I'm quite cautious when older never married or previously married women are so marriage and long-term focused even before meeting. It reeks of desperation and is very unattractive.
Enjoy the person your with, be in the moment and the rest will work it's self out. | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 5:54:46 AM | At this point in my life, I do not care to marry again...seems to be something I suck big time at! Live with a man, yes, some day down the road I guess....but for right now? Am happy to just be me an let the chips fall where they may! | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 5:55:30 AM | @fishyfishy....there are definite tax advantages for the older generation, as well as beneficiary issues. Although common-law marriage is generally recognized for most purposes, the common-law partner doesn't have automatic inheritance rights, as a married spouse does, nor do they have automatic next-of-kin authority, as a married spouse has. For some folks - government employees especially - there are death benefits that can only go to married spouses and children. common law partners lose out completely.
So yes, there are advantages. | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 6:20:06 AM | @The Lady .... and I have seen that played out, in the courts, unfortunately, to the good and the bad.... The other consideration is also that if you or your partner get sick, a common law partner does not have as much medical power of attorney rights as a married partner does.... a serious consideration as we age.
OT - we had this discussion at Woodstock coffee last nite.... I said I would remarry if it meant that much to him.... to which it was replied, "it has to mean that much to you, or what is the point?"..... I thought about it, and I have to agree...... so yes, I could definitely see myself remarrying if the right person came along..... and not for him - for ME! | |
|
| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 6:25:22 AM | Yes, I would get married again. I don't regret getting married the first time, what I regret was marrying the wrong person.
Was with that person for 10yrs. Just glad I didnt have kids with him.
One chapter closed, ready for new beggings.
Live and learn.
Let it go and move on! | |

| Would you get married again? Posted: 5/13/2006 8:05:16 AM | FishyFish --- You say that we need to be Queen for the Day? Shouldn't your lady be the Queen of your life Everyday? just as you should be her King?????
And I don't think that wanting someday (far far far down the road if it's a mutual agreement between both people) to be remarried reeks of desperation or unattractiveness... I had a horrible first marriage... the only good that came of tha marriage, was that I got the most beautiful child I could ever hope for... I know that marriage is a commitment of two people... putting thier vows out there before God, the church their family & friends... it's not something to take lightly... living together can be an on again off again thing... there is nothing wrong with getting remarried if it's what BOTH parties want to do... | |
