Answer 2

Cons first. From someone who did this, the only con I can think of was that it was very hard to wait, and we had to be a little extra careful not to get into compromising situations. Otherwise, there are only pros. We didn't have to worry about using birth control, getting pregnant, or getting some kind of STI. We didn't have any guilt or regrets whatsoever (premarital sex goes against our beliefs). Losing our virginity on our wedding night together was so much more meaningful and special than if it had been some clandestine encounter. Neither of us has to wonder if there is some ex of his out there that he got pregnant. Neither of us has any memories of previous sexual partners and painful breakups. The list of pros just goes on and on. There are way more reasons to save sex than to not save it. Even though people say "You don't buy a car without taking it for a test drive", that isn't really an issue either. Since we are each other's firsts, we got to learn together what we like and don't like. We have a fabulous love life. Obviously the test drive wasn't necessary! I think you can be sexually compatible with pretty much anyone, if both of you are willing to compromise where necessary and are willing to please each other instead of focusing on getting your own needs met. And I also think that people use that as an excuse because waiting and denying your sexual urges is hard and it isn't that much fun at all.

Answer 3

The pros weight out the cons as time goes. We tend to look at life on "now" issues but as life goes on we (men and women) will discover the need or better say the pleasure to have someone sharing your life, the security given as age progresses. Live long enough to find out that you will lose most of your friends and the secure life is the support given for each other, husband and wife. Dependency on each other will become a must. You may read from other readers a list of pros and cons but I guarantee you that the "cons" list will diminish and appear of no value as time goes.

Answer 4

Pros: Security, teamwork, love, compassion, long-lasting friendship
Cons: Monogamy, relational growing pains, missed expectations

Answer 5

It's just a process on paper and in name. YOU would have to pay for the process. Not just for the marriage but the divorce, if the relationship ultimately fails. After a marriage, you would have a proper title for your other half, "wife" or "husband". However, the same relationship, physical and emotional, can also exist with a legal status through common-law. So, ask yourself, do you have the extra $ to splurge on a wedding reception, wedding pictures and marriage registration? If the answer is yes, sure, go for the marriage. If no, don't get married; just live as common-laws.

Answer 6

Pros you get to share your life with someone you love and admire deeply, partnership.
Cons you inherit their past struggles financially and you have deal with the emotional grief that the ex from hell did to them.

Answer 7

all the others plus..
JUST DON"T..
till your 38....at least ..and thats young these days...
you can have everything in life if you want it , (but rem, life is not about the "things" bc they don't, won't and can't make you any happier; only more responsibility) have an education, and some common sense street smarts, and you know how to play those female cards...
unless all you want is to be "married and have a husband" and find/found the perfect man for you..if that's possible these days..
good luck
