| Do guys in their 30s want to get married?
Posted: 6/16/2006 2:18:34 AM | marriage is just a piece of paper saying you are legally a couple...but isnt common law the same thing?
marriage is so overarted these days..if you are committed to each other then really do you need the gov't to say so by legally marrying..
i was with a woman for 15 years and that was close to marriage as you can get..we didnt need a piece of paper saying we are..
in general though if the right lady come along i might marry her..have to see how it generates as it moves along..
do women in thier mid 30s and 40s want to marry? | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 3:26:07 AM | I like the concept of marriage. I have been married for ten years and lived common law for seven and I have to say I think there is a definite difference. The person I was living common law was seven years older then me and thought that marriage was just a piece of paper. I never agreed with her but I did not want to marry her either. As far as the expense is concerned I don’t think it has to be expensive. I mean I don’t know how much the justice of the piece is but I don’t think it’s a lot. And the party after words. Who doesn’t like a party?
I think that not in all cases but I can see that if someone is dead set against marriage it’s like they already have one foot holding the door open ready to escape. If two people are living common law and they both have an understanding that the situation works for them at that moment in there lives but can be changed at any moment than great, to each is own.
But you can’t beat anything more perfect than a long time married couple out on the dance floor or walking through the park holding hands. That is as good as it gets And the day I give up on that hope, Is the day that I will say what is the point. | |

Posted: 6/25/2006 1:59:50 PM | | I never really thought about getting married. I`m not against it. I figure that if I plan on being with her for the rest of my life I dont need a peice of paper telling me were together, but if the marriage conversation was to come up with her then I would be very open and respectfull on her thoughts as I hope she would be to mine. I mean that if I were in love I would tell her everyday that I love her and if she would like for me to say that in a church with people watching then I do it. If the moment in time is right and with the right woman , then I say lets have a party , we all love a party. | |

Posted: 6/25/2006 2:21:32 PM | | I don't agree with the glamourization of marriage, which seems to be the reason a lot of people do it. Yes, the beautiful ceremony and dress are great but that'd be icing on the cake for me. I used to believe in that whole soulmates thing...and that with the right person it all just works. As I'm older now, I still believe in love and romance but I also see marriage as a choice and a responsibility. You CHOOSE to spend your life with someone and that choice comes with both privledges and responsibilities. It takes patience, hard work and sacrifice. Then there is also security, love and support. I want to go before God and make my promises to spend my life with someone, and that promise to me means way more than a piece of paper. Marriage is not for everyone and I respect anyone who recognizes that about themself and doesn't give in to the family and social pressures. | |

I don't think many of the traditional reasons that people got married exists any more.
People no longer really require the assistance of another person to maintain a home, or a decent lifestyle. There are laws to protect children in the event of the breakup of a relationship. People are generally just more self sufficient, and just looking at the numbers of people you know who have failed relationships, does marriage really look very appealing? | |

So the woman you though was your forever now has control of your kids, your bank account, your house and would rather if the free world knows nothing about your existence with her. I do not speak from experience I speak from the position of a person who has watched many of his friends get the shaft. for all the pomp and ceremony of any marriage isn't it funny how disposable it all is when either the guy or the girl wants out..........save your money get a pet | |

Posted: 1/21/2009 1:08:41 PM | What's that old joke divorced guys tell young men thinking about marriage?....oh yeah:
"Why get married? Save yourself a lot of time and money. Just find a woman that already hates your guts and won't sleep with you...and buy her a house." | |

Posted: 1/21/2009 6:01:08 PM | I believe that if a person gets married because they are lonely that is the wrong reason..You can end up getting married to the wrong person, because you don't want to be alone..
I've never been married and do not have any desire to marry anyone.. Going out with friends or dating is enough for me, I don't need to have someone live with me in order to feel happy..
Over 50% of marriages end in divorce. Do you want marriage that badly?
