What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Oh, my, yes. I can understand how that could be important. There has to be more to a relationship than just making kids. I love kids but I just think there has to more to it than just making them. Thanks for all the responses. I have to go to work but will catch all later.

I have read about vow renewal. Do you think some people forget what vows they made and if two people change in a relationship that the vows should change with that? How often do you think vows should be renewed? Do you think a more personal vow should be made rather than a prewritten form to follow? If one's opinion of a vow is different than the one they are making to another shouldn't that be ascertained to?

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

I would have to agree. I mean what is the use of closing the door on the barn after all the horses have ran away. Who wants to admit that a counselor may know more than you do? I mean when we go to see a doctor we look at the paper degree on the wall but it seems that people are more apt to trust a doctor more than a counselor.

Could explain some divorces, huh?

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

So you are saying then a committment doesn't have to mean a prelude to marriage?

Yeah, but she comes out ahead in the story.

You're welcome. Thank you.

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Would you view a committed boyfriend different than a committed husband and how would you see that as being different? Do you think the paper itself make it morally sanctioned?

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Thanks for clearing that up. It is interesting how we view ourselves and how others view us.

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Technically and legally I would have to agree.

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Would you say that how you view dating now and before then has changed?

You have really made some good points and I appreciate what you have added.

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Good point.

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Thanks for replying. I have read about the fear of committment. Why do you think some people have a fear of committment?

What is the difference between a marriage and a comittment?

Just wondered how people saw dating different than marriage.

RE: Its time for a game!!

Whats with the 20 questions?

RE: whats wrong with just dateing ?

I know what you mean about the fear of getting hooked with the wrong one. I am glad that you have the maturity to take your time. I mean its your life and your decision. Once one leaves the single state then things can change. I think that is why the marriage vow states for better or for worse. I wonder how many people bank on the "for better" but really don't anticipate the "for worse".

RE: whats wrong with just dateing ?

I thought this was a great thread that Kristi started. I have been meaning to get back to it when I could make a more rational reply to it. I really think it is a loaded thread in its contents about how people can view commitment versus dating. I mean it can be hard to separate at times and with friends one doesn't have to be fancy and can be more at ease in my opinion.

RE: whats wrong with just dateing ?

A rush for commitment can be a scary thing. I think the more you know someone the less scary a commitment can be. But if you are dating more than one then isn't it possible to get mixed up when dating? I think one should get to know themselves before they get to know others but getting to know others helps one to get to know themselves.

RE: What is it that you wish for in 2007

I saw this red Jeep Cherokee that I would like to have. I am looking forward to March when I will have the last back support payment made. January 3 is a big day when I will take the state exam. I plan to get back into ham radio. My aunt has this tent pole for the last brush arbor tent revivl that was held in our town. She said I could have it. I am anticipating getting back into the fun of making antennas. I have plans to make a big horizontal loop, again. I would love to have the newest edition of a digitize Drake radio.

RE: tell everyone how long you've been on cs

Since July 2005. I have been on the Internet since 1995 so it was just a transitional phase for me.

RE: Share your worst break up?

I think of you as the twisted sister I never had. I am glad you are home in CS where you belong.

RE: Going to be gone for a min

I hope you survive this great tragedy of not having an Internet connection. We will have to schedule you for therapy back into the virtual world once you get back.

RE: Suggestion - No More Bush/War Threads

I would rather hear about the dog with the secret recipe Bush's baked beans.

RE: Silence!

Looks golden to me.

RE: Things were not good!

That must have been hilarious. I am glad you all had a good time, Len.

RE: Share your worst break up?

I am glad you have bounced back. I have had some bad experiences but got to learn some from each one of them. I would have to say my second divorce was worse than my first one because it was to the same person. I sometimes think the divorce could have been avoided but that is because of hindsight. I would prefer to think that everything happens for a reason. 13 years was a long time to invest in someone. I feel more at peace, finally being single, today. The time to me just doesn't seem right to get attached, again. I sure wouldn't want upset the balance I have in my life now.

RE: why do i meet great people but noones wanting to move to florida ?

When California falls into the ocean you will have ocean front property in Arizona, Reno. Of course, the people in California think the rest of America will go under and California will remain the only state above dry land. California might be the new Atlantis. I would get some California trinkets just in case to preserve for posterity.

RE: How Bah Humbug am I??

Hmmm. Wham, bam thank you m'am with that Christmas thing, huh? Reminds me of this guy who was told a horse shoe was hot but he picked it up anyways with his bare hands. The other guy said it was hot like I said wasn't it? He replied back, oh, it just doesn't take me long to look at horseshoes.
