I'm 41 years old, I've had my share of relationships, I've been married twice(both unsuccessful)and now I'm in another serious monogamous relationship that I'm not sure wher its headed. My parents were married for 56 year until my father past away, in this day and age is even worth getting married anymore ?

No, but becoming comfortable without a relationship is. Im not saying youll never find someone, but just enjoying life is important, with or without a relationship.

Hi there!
my sister recently got married - at 48 and they make a lovely couple. at least so far..
"another serious monogamous relationship that I'm not sure wher its headed" as u put it is exacly what i have now, too. so i can see that the age is not the factor that holds you back...
my attitude in similar situation is this: i just dont (and cant) expect as much as i would expect from a marriage. and enjoy what you can expect and what you have - after all you have most probably missed your chance for 56 years of happy merriage..

Im 23 and i have often wondered whether marriage is worth it. I think ALOT of people just rush into things without thinking too much about it. I do however believe in marriage and think that it is an amazing thing if you find the one but don't agree you should get married if you have only known each other a short time.
Ask you current girlfriend how she feels about you and where she sees herself and you in the future you don't know until you ask. Don't rush into it if your not comofortable with the thought of doing it again. My mum re married a few yrs ago as did my Dad and there both now very happy.

I don't know about you but I'm married and have been for several years now and I can't imagine life without my wonderful spouse. Getting married was the best thing I did in my life.

sometimes more options and choices means more opportunities for unhappiness and second-guessing yourself.
bakc in the day, you were relieved of that anxiety because the structure of "this is what you do and when" was so much more strict.
nowadays it's more "anything goes," and more options for everybody, for better and for worse.
it's like, i don't want to have to decide between 59 different kinds of deoderant or toothpaste at the grocery store... long ago you had like 5 brands or less. so you didn't have "buyer's remorse" like you do these days.

It is best to be married and stay that way- know what went wrong and learn from it- My papa passed away and my nana remarried- she was in her 70s and made it to 88- so you have a lot of life left- choose wisely and live and love wisely-D

Omgosh, what is with all the negativity?! It doesn't matter what age you are or how unsuccessful your past relationships has been, just have faith! Don't give up, please just listen to me; someday you'll find someone. Trust me. And when you do, you'll be glad you held on.

yes it is... Life is full of risks. If you love this one dont hesitate to propose cuz most women want security and love and commitment...after one year time to propose..sharing life is definitely worth it....horoscopes help with compatability..

Yes it is. Don't loose faith. Just like your parents inspired you with their marriage, you will do the same for your kids. Happiness will find you eventually.
