To quote Gene Simmons - marriage is the worst business decision any man can make.

While that's not my personal belief (at least maybe not now) I have been told by many other fellow guys not to ever marry. I know why many people are against it nowadays, I'm just curious as to how many other people out there aren't looking to stand in front of the altar as supposedly the number of couples living together and not married has been increasing over the years. Even upon having children they all live under one roof as a happy family just without wedding rings or photos.

¿So anyone else looking for that special someone to spend their life with just not in holy matrimony?

confused

Yep.. I'm not bothered about getting married.

I also think that sometimes once you are married it's easy to think you have 'won' and no longer have to put as much thought and effort into the relationship.

I dont want to sound bitter and not that I will get Married again. But yes I would make it a business decision if I had my time over again. What you come with is what you leave with IMO things built of gained together are split equally, and drawn up as such.

Unfortunately there's a lot of greedy people out there that don't make things so easy.

Definitely....it's the most important financial decision anybody makes in life...getting married....take it seriously...and plan for all scenarios....I would say that any couple should totally work out with a pre-nup draft, WTF will happen if it doesn't work out....so everybody knows exactly what's happening, the downsides and upsides...


thumbs up thumbs up

I would marry Lordmogg, I would have great pleasure in proving to him that we are not all as he thinks.

Then I would divorce him.

I read an article once about his couple that had written up a pre nup..

They had it right down to the finest details.. like they agree whoever was using the car would ALWAYS make sure when they drove it back home it always had at least half a tank of fuel.

roll eyes so true I would protect my major assets of course, not that I have that many now roll eyes but in all fairness also you cant be greedy either. Of course when you are in a relationship there are things you both contribute.
