I keepmy mind open too the posibility. If the right lady came into my life and she was for it, I would.But I would take it slow, become good friends first allowing us both too lear about each other first. If after that period, we still feel the same about each other, I would propose.wine

why is "marriage" so important? I've been there and done, besides the love we shared no lasting the after math of marriage is costly too. ita like a penalty or fine for after so many years it fails to work. the longer the couple stay amried the more costly it is when the Divorce comes. and who gets this "fine or penalty" the legal system...
Please someone tell me what marriage brings to a relationship. How does it enhance the love or prevent any of the pitfalls and mistakes we make when in love? what can marriage bring to a relationship that 2 individuals who truly love each other cannot provide on their own besides UNcle sams greedy hands
I know what happens if a marriage fails. how does the hurt fell with or without the "official" paper differ?

getting married again sure it changes nothing unless it doe not work out then the emotinal pain outweighs the other hurts tenfold.

Still don't understand in this day a nd age why it is such a critical issue in a relationship.

I guess marriage today has lost its "x" factor the days of "til death us do part" are long gone now it's been replaced by "til getting fed up do I part".

I believe as an institution, marriage is dying slowly. Ladies you wanted equality, you got it and an unfortunate downside is that for most young couples today a dual income has become a neccessity, therefore the stress levels in a relationship are much higher than in the "old model" of one bread winner and one mother/housekeeper where divorce rates were significantly lower...,

Well thats my theory anyway, as for me, of course I would re-marry if the right partner comes along - but then I'm an old fashioned romantic I guess!

it took years after the divorce before i was abl to say the reason for divorce was simply I wasn't there one too many times, and she got lonely one too many times.

I thought the "til death" too. and its become too easy to just end it this is part of my personal objection to marrying again, suffice to say it will not be my idea if I do marry again, but because of my love for her I'll probably walk that walk again, just cause she wants it.blushing

This is my personal reason.(for me)
I have lived with a man before without marriage. I felt like there were no real ties and that I was basically free to do as I wished. As was he. There was no love contract or promises between us for a lifetime commitment. There it is...no commitment. The feelings that I had in the beginning started to change. I became less impressed, and felt like we were just role playing. It was yours and mine,and also the my way or the highway thing came up. It started to be about who put forth more money, had more invested, keeping things hidden and separate. For me, if I live with a man, I have no real respect for him. Simply put; my respect goes by the wayside and my trust is less than. If we are not willing to marry, then we are not ready to live together. I feel like it is an easy way out of something that we had no real intention of staying in. Our families never really came together because of the obvious missing pieces that make us a combined family.I will never live together without marriage again. It just doesn't feel right to me. In my opinion, if we don't care enough to marry, we have no real intentions of staying together.

I have never been married yet but I do know one thing for certain. If I ever get married it will be for one time only and if it dosn't work out then I will never get married again.

Well we all live in America, so we can all express our own values, morals and opinions about things...as I respect that option for everyone..I will only say, Marriage brings much more to a lifetime relationship that "shacking up" ever will. It is a different level of committment and should be appreciated as suchhandshake I was married for 25+ years the first time, and if I ever want to spend my life exclusively with someone again, it will be worth making a committment of vows in the sight of God and man. Nothing that my divorce put me through could change that sense of value for mecheering Just a southern girl's idea of why marriage adds to a lifetime relationshipconversing

The only difference between living together and marriage is a piece of paper that costs money to get and costs money to get rid of. If you are sure that you love each other no such paper is needed

That is of course your opinion and you are welcome to it. But, I for one, if I am sure I love someone, and they say they love me. Then a piece of paper should be no obstacle. But, I am not one to have relationship after relationship. When I lost a loved one to separation or death, I do not just carry on. My last husband dies in 1995, and I haven't been in a couples relationship since. I am very choosy and will settle for no less than a commitment that I believe in. For me to believe, it has to be believable. No marriage, no me.

as I said I would marry just because it would make her "happier" but to let the government place a rubber stamp of agreement about my committment to a woman. Hey I'll avoid giving Uncle Sam his cut of my profits every chance i get. so his "rubberstamp" has no meaning to me.

i remember my wedding and how my "Betterhalf" at that time so so joyous and diligent and possessed in the event being just right. where me and my friends when task was ask ed of me went to the club or fishing.... come to think of it it was a good thing cell phones were not so popular and affordable.laugh

it wouldnt matter a fig to me unless it was important to him & then it would depend on which country we were living in at the time. if there were inheritance laws that would jeopardise his children's or my son's inheritance, for example, i'd be very reluctant. so i'd be looking at it as a legal contract rather than an emotional one.

Sure, I'd do it again.

Have to admit that at one time, I was of the mind that there would be no way I would do it again but that was 11 years ago right after my supposedly "better half" gave me the boot shortly after I had a triple by-pass

I got married when I was 20. She was 18. While I was ready, emotionally, financially, it turned out she wasn't. Granted I'm four years older and divorced for 3 years. But if for some reason marriage number 2 were to not work out, I'd have to take in to consideration my age. If I'm still young if marriage two fails, I'd possibly consider it. I'd also have to factor in whether or not I have any kids (none at the moment). They would play a major deciding factor in marriage number 3 by a long shot.

I'm probably the youngest guy here (I'm not checking profiles to see) but a world ahead of my time. I would like to think that when I marry again it'll be the real thing. But only time will tell, won't it?

That's part of the reason why I'm here. Now if I just had my own personal computer and could upload some pics of myself, maybe I could get some responses! laugh
