Marriage Anyone?? ( Archived) (92)

Yes
To me.

Marriage has always been and is still my most important goal. And I do intend to get married.

Maybe I would feel less keen on marriage if, like many other people, I had at least one previous marriage that turned out badly. But fortunately for me that is not the case.

But, really now, life is a risk. I think it is better for one to pursue life dreams and fail, than it is for one to never pursue such dreams at all because one might fail. Therefore, in my opinion, if a person fails in marriage or anything else, then so what?

I am all for marriage and high marital ideals. But if other people want to cohabit for the rest of their lives then I respect their right to make that choice for themselves.

Someday, yes I would like to be married again. I really loved being married.

I would love to get married again if it is to the right man who is my soulmate!

to each their own.. everyone is different... and marriage isn't right for some people.. and thats perfectly okay.. I am married (i met my husband on here) and its great.. we're unbelievably happy.. and we're fine with everything that goes into it.. but like i said to each their own

I am not seeking marriage. I cannot say that I absolutely would NOT marry again, because I am not adamantly opposed to it, but it would not be a priority for me. When I was younger, I seemed to equate a marriage proposal to a validation of my worthiness (or something along those lines)...so glad I am much more self-confident and smarter now!
Funny thing that you mentioned the "vows"...what good are the vows, really? Does anyone ever consider cheating on a spouse and then, all of a sudden, just as the moment of truth is upon them, suddenly they stop and say..."Oh, hang on a minute...I really wanted to boink you, but, you see, there were these vows that I took on my wedding day..."
Commitment comes from the heart, not from the license.
So, no, I don't look for marriage again, but I never say never.

Yes!.. THAT'S what I was trying to say!

I want to get married again someday. Divorce is ridiculously expensive. Most states have a common law marriage, where if you live together for so many years, the state considers you to be married.

An older couple I know, I work with the lady, has lived together for 9 years. In the state of Iowa, they're considered to be married. LOL, I give her "husband" a hard time about not marrying her. I can do that though. They are part of my large extended adoptive family. I tend to adopt people. Thats my "Mama" Terri (she has no kids, so I'm like a daughter to her) and "Papa" Jeff.

Haven't been there yet but yes I want to try it
