If you met someone and had establised a long term relationship with that person would you want to eventually get married or would you simply prefer to just live together. If there were children involved would that in any way influence you decision?

If my feelings for the person were deep enough I would. I was married once before, even though I'm young I learned a few things from it.

My son, well if he asked me not to I wouldn't. He isn't like that though and he wants to see his daddy happy. As long as that is what is in my heart and hers.

In all honesty I would like to be married again maybe, but it would take a long time before that step came into play...wave

Sure I'd get married again.I have grown children and I know they've give their best wishes cause they'd want me to be happy.

I've been engaged. We were together for years before he asked. (and that's a rather stupid story in itself)
I like the idea of marriage, that two people love eathother to forsake all others in writing. lol.
I just don't know though.
After so many years, you are considered common-law anyhow. Not quite the same, but works for alot of people.

I think that would be something that both parties involved would have to discuss when it came to that point. As far as the children, no, that wouldn't influence either way.

that decision is before me right now. i dont feel i am ready to marry now, nor in the near future. marriage isnt for me. at least, that is my view for now. im not even sure about living with a man. i would have to know him very well, trust him, establish my own, and maybe waaay down the road, i might marry.

yay

Honestly, I'm not sure of my answer to this any more. I used to say I'd never do it again, despite my last experience being a positive one. A couple of months ago I had something happen that made me realize I'm not so opposed to it after all. So, with the right person, I'd do it again without hesitation. I guess at my core, I'm old-fashioned, and if I'm going to live with someone I do want to be married to them, eventually.

As to children being involved, well that's not an issue for me. There won't be any more of those for me.

I would have to absolutely know that was the right person for me before i would want to take that step again. If i felt that he was, well, maybe.

Then why do you keep refusing my email proposal?

Oooops, sorry! I haven't sent it yet! tongue rolling on the floor laughing hug

Seriously, though, I would want to get married but want it for all the right reasons. Everything has to be in its place and all doubt's removed between each other, first.

I am from the old fashion world of dating then getting married. So that is my choice in life.

I think there are pros and cons to both situations. Nothing is guaranteed either way. I've done the living together thing but never did the down the aisle stroll, I am curious as to how I would handle that one - hmmmm it could be interesting. grin Either way I would have to factor in my child's welfare as well.

I want to get married again some day. I loved everything about being married and I miss it. It was the best time of my life. Kids always play a part in everything but I don't think it would keep me from getting married.

kiss

Well, to be honest, based on my life experience, I think living in the same neighborhood would be close enough.
