I think that marriage, as a religious institution is dieing, but love........ never !
You do not need marriage to show your love for someone.

i agree completely.
lrrh77: i agree completely.
Love.... really is something quite special !
Englishman55: Love.... really is something quite special !
Yes it is.
Nothing else like it in my opinion. 
romanticman4u: I think people don't take thier vows serious enough these days and they don't take enough time to really get to know thier mates. If you see red flags about a potienal mate you shouldn't ignore them you should address them. I honestly think once you are married it is for a life time and the thought is be sure he or she is the one when you propose or except the proposal. I wish you much luck sir I hope this is your last relationship and may godbless you both.
or so you would think
thank you my friend for your thoughtful post
equiya: I have never been married. I don't miss it. I don't even know what it is. If I love someone we can be committed to each other without being married.
In the US most of the time, people get married 2 weeks after meeting and divorce 4 months after marrying. Someone who is not even 40 years old has been marrried and divorced 3 times already! What! Whatever happened to for better for worse?
My parents never divorced. My dad passed away after 31 years of marriage. My mother never remarried.

thank you for that..... i thought it was for ever ...my parents still married after 50 some years.....
but my american wife came from a different background..if it matters?
she was american ... and her mother had been married 6 or 8 times.
but i still think if had done some things differently ..i would have her heart today ...just trying to learn from my mistakes
thanks for the reasons why you feel that way

Hmmmm Marriage is great if its what you BOTH want, I agree if you really love someone marriage isnt required, unless you both feel you want that contract, or just like the thought of marriage as a sign of commitment.
I myself, would love to again one day be married, at my age I just like the thought of being a wife again, after many years of living in defacto relationship...
BUT it would ONLY be if it felt right and its what we BOTH wanted, things may change......who knows
Contratulations dadvic or finding love..... your a lucky man

thank you
also thanks from mavic
I think that whatever makes you happy. For me, If I were going to dedicate the rest of my life to someone, I can go either way, marriage or no marriage, just as long as it is a sincere relationship.

Big_John: I don't see this as anything to laugh about. When marriages fail it is very sad. Many of our fellow CS'ers are in this situation.
Marriage is alive and well. Many of us still believe in it and can make them work.

Many do believe in love and commitment, but without the need for marriage.
Marriage is a religious way of committing yourself to one person.
It can still be a strong, loving relationship without the need for marriage.

It sure Takes 2, Of course you were some what old before wedlock, I was 19, and believe me I was really to young for such a commitment, though we got through the rough part. I see my daughter now also, to young the first time, but now ready to marry again, I guess we learn from our mistakes....its all part of the circle of Life....

Yes and i didnt say thatMarriage is a religious way of committing yourself to one person.
It can still be a strong, loving relationship without the need for marriage.
But for me Marriage was/is important for me..
To stand before GOD and family to confess my love to the one i will marry and plan to stayed married till death do us part

Its sure is, I am not a true believer in marriage, to me when 2 people really Love each other, and wish to share their ever lasting happiness together, a piece of paper and a gold ring wont make the difference....I even think that without marriage things are only stronger....It a promise of Love for each other......
But some people think different...

Hi Kissme
I wasn't trying to distort what you said, as I have always admired your stance on marriage and especially the special bond you and your guy have.
All I was trying to say was that some people are not religious and therefore might feel as though others view their relationships as less intense, or not are commited because they do not wish to marry.
scarletta: I think you dont have to get married to commit to someone but it is nice to have a celebration of somesort with ones family and friends just to celebrate having found the one you love.
U can still celebrate it for sure, any excuse for a party...

Well until i convinced him i was the One for him
