I wouldn't, because there is no reasonable expectation of you being able to build a healthy life with this other person. Also, it is not like there are not plenty of men out there. So if you are not in a relationship with a person currently serving life but are considering it I would think twice or maybe even three times before going down that road. Your only hope is that he is going to get parole at some point, and are you going to be willing to wait for a day which may never come?
They dont' give life sentences for jaywalking or shoplifting, we are talking about 1 of 3 things, a murder, a drug related charge (probably distribution) or a 3 strikes style law in which case the person in question is a 3 time felon.
You are a woman of real substance and worth, and I wouldn't wait around for sombody like that particularly if you are not yet in a relationship... Now if you already are, then... that is osmthing different, but not much different, becuase what is it you are getting out of the relationship? Not much I am guessing.
Don't cheat yourself out of the chance for a happy and healthy relationship, you will regret it later. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Personally no. But I do know some people who do. And admire the for it. But I would expect that both partners understand that since this is a life sentence, that eventually one or both of you will need a jump off. A Jump off meaning someone on the side. It takes a very dedicated person to stay the long haul.
I hope you knew this person already. If you're penpals I would suggest that you be careful. Prisoners have a tendecy to be very manipulative and you don't know why, who, or what you're getting into with a stranger. But if this was someone you loved on the outside before they went to prison...I don't see why not. Just know it is hard.

That depends on what you need from a relationship. I am currently involved with someone who is serving a life sentence and we have been involved for 4 years. he is a wonderful person and I get alot from the relationship. I am not very needy in the physical aspect of things and therefore it is enough for me.
It can be trying at times but I love him and I take the good with the bad as with any relationship. I had a husband who was there 24/7 and it was the most dysfunction I had ever encountered in my life. Its all about how you feel and how he makes you feel.
Good Luck

What for? Why would you be with someone who is sentenced to life in prison, this person must have done something really bad to get that sentence. I wouldn't date some one who is in prison period. The point of dating/marrying someone is to be with them, do things together, share things not them be in prison and you at home.....

I don't think so, it doesn't make sense. He's in prison. What's the point in marrying him? But if you care about the prisoner that much, go ahead...it's a free country.
People learn from their mistakes....it's just a part of life. So if the marriage didn't work out, you would have the experience to know that it is not something you wish to do again. I used to have arguments with my parents about this idea of learning from your mistakes. I wanted them to cut the apron strings and let me go and live my life and make my own mistakes so that I'd learn.

The fact that you're asking this question says a whole lot. NEVER. It's a dead end! I feel so bad for women that get caught in this trap. I feel even more sorry for the children. Even if there are no children involved, there could be in the future, thanks to congregal visits. How can he ever contribute in a meaningful way to his family? They can work in prison but they typically make a few cents an hour. This is ultimately why many black families are in such bad shape. If one parents, spouse etc. is in jail for life, that's not a family. That's what you call DYSFUCTIONAL. Work on your self-esteem and pray. Best wishes.

No because you could never have a normal relationship. In order to really get to know someone you would need to spend time with them like go on dates and that wouldn't be possible it they are in prison. Also I think someone who dates/marries someone in prison would be very lonely.

I don't know so much about marrying a person who is serving life in prison, but i would continue talking to the person. "not dating."
Dating a person in prison, it's not consider a relationship, because you will never, ever go out with him/her such as: the movies, beach, road trips, etc.
There is nothing wrong in continuing talking to an inmate but just as friends, so he/she would know that you would always be there for him/her.

Life sentence is for 15 years typically, so if you can wait for 15 years to have that person and u love him so much than you can marry
Or you want to get married to him because he is rich and u can use his money and date other men?
