I actually don't believe in marriage except in the sense that it ruins relationships
tell me why you believe in marriage or don't...I know people here have been married and divorced and looking back would you not marry that person if you had to do it again?
If it was possible I would marry her again and again and again. I totally believe in marriage. I am a man of faith and from an older generation that believes it the only way to do it.
Its possible to have a solid relationship without being married, but that is not how I want to show my family and friends how I live. This is just me.
I've been married but not divorced and not single by choice.Would I go back and marry my late husband again I doubt it.That part of my life is behind me now and I'm begining a brand new chapter in my life.

I beleave in marriage, but the way I see it is that it's only celebrating that you found a person that you truly love and will always love, no matter what happens. No matter how much that person pisses you off there will always be a spot in your heart for them.
I'd prefer to have the ceramony with out actually getting anything legally involved though. i don't need a piece of paper telling me not to cheat or that I need to love that person.

Pat Remember when you told me to take care of me first? Well Pat I took your advice and took care of myself first and foremost.Remember the man I told you about where we're going to begin a life together in September.That's what I meant by begining a nrand new chapter in my life.
Sure I do! I am in the middle of one that is completely destroyed, by her doing, and I can't wait until the ball and chain comes of, but I still believe in it. I believe in commitment, loyalty and complete adoration for that one person above all others!!
And although I have never had a formal wedding and honeymoon, someday I will. Some of us hopeless romantics also want a beautiful wedding before they die!!
From what I see now a days no can't say that I do believe in it simply because of divorce after divorce seems as though these couple don't respect the true values of it and only do it to be a step higher than others..well so they think.

I believe that marriage may not be for everyone but that yes it can be a wonderful relationship if you find the right match not necessarily "the one" lol. Depends on a lot of things like shared values, attraction, maturity levels, humor and a certain amout of selflessness. Just because a lot of people diss something in this very self centered world does not make it a bad thing.

Marriage isn't about anyone's rights its about laying down your life for another person day after day putting petty things aside and loving them through everything life hands both of you.

Absolutely, and I not only believe, I am in the midst of planning a new life with my Future LifeMate as well.
I was married for 17 years . i got married for the wrong reasons and paid dearly. I wouldn't marry him again if I could go back. But life is a journey and if our faith constitutes marry as a way of co habitating then we do it. But there is a psychological shift that goes on when you go from dating or living together to being married and I think that is where trouble can start if the couple does not address this ahead of time.JMO

It is a matter of sticking with it. I didn't in my marriage I didn't have what it took to make it in the long run I was too selfish and gave up on it.

That's it, it takes two to make a marriage, one can't carry the entire load by themselves, it's impossible. Many people don't understand that, they think people just give up, some of us have tried very hard, really hard, but you can't be the only person who cares, it takes two.
