I have gone both ways on this topic. Before I met Sylvain I never thought I wanted to get married or if indeed anyone would WANT to marry me.
However my views on this topic have changed. Now I agree that marriage is a committment between two people who want to have a future together. You decide that you want to commit, be loyal to each other, and not hurt each other, to dream of a future together. to be there when times are good and when times are not so good. To lift each other up when they are down.
I know you can have this same committment without a piece of paper, but the piece of paper means that the other person is not going anywhere anytime soon. They have agreed to this committment with you, in fact so much so that they have have agreed to sign a "contract" with you in this regard.
I now want marriage and all the elements that it brings with it, the good and the not so good, the love, the sharing of life. Marriage means a lot to me, and I would like another chance to get it right.
HI Just wanted you to know that I have met my match on CS. WE have been seeing each other for 2 months now and this relationship has moved really quite quickly. We are in a long distance relationship but we are making plans for the future..
I am feeling crappy with a cold this morning, I have a budget meeting at church this morning then teaching Sunday School. I hope I get through the morning..
I just got back from a scrapbooking class so I am feeling a bit creative. I had a really rough week emotionally, but feel that I am now turning a corner. Good friends really help with this!! Thanks for your support both Tracy and Wikked..
This is what friends are for..to support each other in times of need. I am glad we were there for you when you needed us. We will still be here for you any time you need us.
Well Sylvain and I keep things alive by emailing several times a day and by talking on yahoo. We probably know more about each other because of it. One of us will be moving to be with the other .. but this will not happen for a couple of years, so for now, we will enjoy our weekend visits and holidays together, keeping up with the correspondence.
May you have comfort in knowing that your Mother has left her pain and suffering behind. Know that I have prayed for you and your family..for God to help you all through this time of grieving. We sometimes wonder why good people have to be taken from us. WE don't know God's plan, but knowing that she is in a better place should help you move through this process. I am sure she will always be around you her loved ones.
May your memories of your Mom help you get through this time.
If you need to talk or anything please get in touch with me, my friend. My heart is aching for you and your family...
Unfortunately for most of us this is not a simple yes or no to this question. The heart may say yes, but the mind may say - hold on a minute there is a lot of stuff to process. Will you find employment that you enjoy? What about housing? Do you have financial obligations where you are currently located? Do you have children to consider and their other parent? Do you have elderly parents that you are looking after? This is just a short list.. there are so many things to consider that this decision should not be made lightly..
It is funny you should have a thread about this..I, myself did not fill out any prerequisites. I did not want to limit myself to any specifications. I am attracted to a great personality and what is in someone's heart. The outside is all just packaging.. the personality and their heart do not usually change. Benig too specific in prerequisites really limits who you might meet.
It is funny, when I first looked at Sylvain's profile.. I saw that he wanted someone within 100 miles of where he lived so I didn't bother contacting him, even though I saw our potential. However he sent me a flower for replying to a thread he started and the rest as they say is history......
I had to chuckle though,, thinking isn't that what you say when you are trying to set someone up on a blind date with someone not quite up to standard.. Well she has a nice personality!! lol
All in fun guys.. am honoured that people took the time to vote!!!
One time I was walking into a restaurant and went to take something out of my pocket, and a tampon fell out of my pocket and onto the floor, so instead of picking it up... I just kicked it out of the way pretending that it wasn't mine!!
When we were kids there was a farm just behind where we lived. All the kids in the neighbourhood use to play in the farmers field. One day we were playing hide and seek in the hay piles. I was "it" and was trying to find my brother. The others in the group told me that my brother WAS NOT in the hay pile, so I stuck the pitch fork in the pile and ended up stabbing him in the leg. He hi tailed it home running and crying all the way. Boy did I get it from my Mom when I got home!! My brother had to get a tetnas shot but no stitches. He was so mad at me!!
I enjoyed receivig flowers and always answer whenever I get a message or flower. But a flower is one way to break the ice. If the other party is interested you will receive a message or flower back from them.
You never know what will happen!! I encourage everyone to start sending flowers to all who catch your eye!
Maybe we could have a basement cleaning party. I just have a pathway to the appliances... and the rest is piled to the ceiling....!! I must stop procrastinating! (well once I get organized that is!!)
