The Act of Marriage?

Question

Do you recommend it?

Answer 1

No, I had a horrible one and would never do it again. But that's just my opinion.

Answer 2

I have been married for almost 21 years to someone who I dated in high school. We have known each other for a total of 26 years.

With that said I will say that marriage is a lot of work. Because you are each individuals you will find that there will be times when you will not see eye-to-eye on issues. You must learn, through mostly trial and error, how to compromise and at times negotiate for things.

You will have good times, bad times and periods where it is all calm. The most complicated issue I will say about marriage today is money and balancing your life between work and your personal life. And when you add children into the picture then that balancing act between paying enough attention to your spouse, children, job and lastly yourself because very difficult. It can be done but it takes lots of work and a person who is very persistent.

I dont' think marriage is something that should be taken lightly, given the impact it has on your life and the life of your spouse. It should be taken seriously and with great thought and committment.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Speaking fomr my own experience - i WANTED to get married - loved it - obsessed over it - arranged it - had the day - woke up thinking HWTA THE HELL HAVE I DONE!!! I was terrified - the thought of being TIED to one person for ever was so scary - it was doomed. We seperated after 4 miserable years - i felt guilty for wasting his time and being a silly young girl - i was only 21 - young and stupid...now at 36 im engaged and i dont think we will ever get up the aisle cos i stil fell the same way - i want to be married but i know when i 'do' it i will panic. Just get a solicitor to write a will for you both saying you have 50% of everything etc...you can then 'act' as if your married so if you have an accident your partner is looked after .

Answer 4

Why are you asking?????
I have been married for over 40 years,OK I could recommend it but there are people like my daughter that would say "it is a mug's game" she has been married 4 times and living with a new partner and would not get married again.
Any marriage is not easy to begin with, but you have to learn to give and take something a lot of people cannot do.

Answer 5

Depends on who you are, where you are, what you do, what you expect. For many people out there -- mostly young, ill-educated women -- it's a straight way to hell. My parents celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary only just last week. It was rough going much of the time but by and large they've probably been better together than they'd have been apart. I'm a divorcee myself and currently single. Don't think I'd get hitched again -- I live in a privileged country where social pressure to get married is minimal, especially at my age.

Answer 6

only if you cant imagine your life without your significant other, only if you never want to be away from them, only if you feel complete with them.

i was engaged once to a guy who i thought i loved, but not completely there was something missing, and i knew it was wrong, in the end i broke it off,

i am now with a man that i adore, and cant ever imagine being away from, he is my life and i am his, when i think of being old it is with him by my side, everything i want in my life, i want to share with him.

if you feel like this then yes i recommend marriage if not, then its not for you.

some people get married for the sake of it, and it does not work out, i know people who have gotten married because their girlfriends were pregnant and they panicked, both those relationships are now broken and they now have to get divorced.

marriage should never be taken lightly, as it is a huge commitment and should only ever hapopen if you are 100% sure of your love for your partner!

Answer 7

I have been married 37 years, I love being married, but I wouldn't do it again.

It probably isn't any different from common law, but common law isn't acceptable for me, I beleive in all or nothing with relationships.

only you can decide if you want "the act of Marriage" you are the one who has to live it.

Answer 8

As long as you feel he/she is the one for you and you have not one single doubt in your heart. Yes..... the act of marriage can be the best thing in life.

Answer 9

Do you mean that like the acts in a play?

Answer 10

Answer 11
