Yeah but to be fair.. I take marriage very seriously too.. and I only intended to do it that one time.

it just went very wrong..

Yep I agree..

Being older and wiser now.. I would make sure I was a million percent certain he was the right person for me.. and I for him. If I had one shadow of a doubt there is no way I would ever do it again.

very true, as I have gotten older, I know exactly what I can deal with and what I would rather not be a part of. Only out of experience can you achieve that, whether you are married and divorced or just have lived long enough to understand yourself and others.

Pretty in pink!!!

I have to disagree here.
50% of all US marriages end.
How is Marriage a commitment?
I know many people who are not and will never be married, yet they are still committed.

I don't see the connection.
Percentage wise Marriage seems to be a legal term having little or nothing do do with at least 50% of peoples ability to commit.

Apart from the financial implications,

why would it be too easy to walk away?

yeh hun i agree..i think that is why i havent married yet...i cant be 100% sure if this will be wrong/right..but i will give it my damnest to try for all i am worth to keep it that i stay married

I did it twice, it was pretty easy. Go out, get an apartment, come back, pack up, walk. Easy peasy.

I think not having the committment of marriage makes that very easy...

Its a symbol of faith..love and trust..

Sooo true...

Hey sweetie..how are you??

But you can do that married or not, easy peasy.

Its not a criminal offence.

I guess its a personal thing, i have never at any
stage of my life believed in marriage, in fact my
parents always told me it was an institution for
fools.

Pardon?Are you calling my parents fools?

Very well,thx Hope you too..

To whom? Statistically its a symbol to only 50%.

Could have something to do with the model our parents presented. My parents' model wasn't a good one in a lot of ways, but they were married for about 50 years and seemed to care for each more in their later years than earlier on....after going through all the good and bad times I think, weathering the storms. So, I guess I believe in marriage. In live together relationships, I guess I just fell into them, and if I had looked at it from the beginning as something I was going to commit my life to, I would not have gotten deeply entrenched. As it was, after throwing away a few years of my life, I walked away from relationships that I knew from the beginning had no real future. It wasn't a mistake walking away, it was a mistake getting too involved in the first place.

To Me..To My Partner....He agrees 100% in all that i am saying here..So that is all i care about....You all have ur opinions on Marriage..and this is Mine...Marriage Means Everything to me and My husband to be

Are they married?

Yes,they are.For 38 years.And still in

Ahh, and here's the rub.
The question of Marriage as an institution vs Your Marriage can be very different things.
Maybe the thread "Your Marriage" whats the point would be different.

I imagine that most people go into Marriage with a love/honor/commitment attitude.
But in the end the same people become part of the 50%.
