Answer 1

Watch the Ohpal show tomorrow. This is the question she will be asking her guest.

Answer 2

I married for love 46 yrs ago. He had no money,I never considered secutity, I never had sex before I got married and so it was love. Now 46 yrs later, I still love the old goat,we have no sex due to illnesses,money is not rolling in, and believe me when I tell you, I wish I had been a social climber.

Answer 3

For love almost 39 years ago. Still married and still in love. I wake her with kisses every morning as I get ready to leave for work and tell her I love her. We kiss each other good night and fall asleep holding each other.
We both come from a big family (each had 6 kids in it). Her dad was career Navy and I also did over 20 years...my dad was ex-Air Force...so both were in military families. She was a Catholic, I'm a Baptist. Her whole family has turned away from Catholicism and have become Baptists. NOT because of me.
So, we're fairly compatible. We like a lot of the same things (except TV shows...she's watching BIGGEST LOSER and what ever comes on after that tonight.....borrring...and o
other 'reality' shows), enjoy motorcycling and the Patriot Guards.

Answer 4

okay,after reading others' answers I don't feel so bad...although I probably will hold the record here,lol
1.to provide my child with a father/stable home.he had an affair with a good friend of mine.oops!
2.for love,but I was alone in it,so THAT didn't work.this one left me for a woman who was 2 years older than my daughter.oops again.
3.by this time,I was getting a little jaded,but this was one more shot at love.can you guess?yes,you can.
4.for security,and to shut him up.he was very wealthy,and kind of conservative,so he wanted to be married.This time i left,because it felt like a big lie,and I was miserable.
5.FINALLY.we met online(yes,Virginia,it CAN work.)we lived together for a few years;we were pretty content,but we actually did the math and it made sense from a financial and insurance standpoint to be legal.He's my other half.I have no illusions left,but I am content,and I understand and am understood.He's a good guy.

Answer 5

For all of the above except social climber.

Answer 6

I got married because I thought that we were in love. Boy did I get fooled. He was such a big cheater and a liar. I got a divorce from him and tried it again later, still the same thing....a cheater. I give up, I am now single and plan to stay that way. I don't need or want any of the 4 that you named off, well maybe the love. I won't get that either as I would just end up with another cheater again.

Answer 7

Long story ..... my first marriage was so that I could get out from my parents rule. Eight years later we were divorced. I later found someone who I thought I loved. We went through many trials though and I did not want to get married again. We lived together with my daughter for about 12 years or so. I lost my job and my health insurance. My daughter was in high school and I knew how important it was to have insurance. Within 3 months of losing my job, we were married, only so that my daughter and myself could have health insurance. We did - and still do - love each other, but it was the lack of health insurance that pushed me into marriage. My significant other/now husband has excellent health insurance and we will be celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary soon. He also has his AARP card in his wallet!

Answer 8

The first time I married because I thought I was in love. I was only 18. The 2nd time was for love and sex, in that order.

Answer 9

1- Love 7 years
2-Security 15 years
3- ? Now that I look back the signs were there. 14 1/2 years DONE WITH IT.

Answer 10

Honestly? I was almost 16, I was a dumb little country girl,
he was 19 and a paratrooper, he said he loved me, I got pregnant and got away from a terrible life with my parents. I
thought I loved him but I was a baby and didn't know what love was. He was a momma's boy and he and his mom went to his sister's for Christmas 1959 and told me to be gone when
he got back. ( his mom told him to.) The baby was 4 mo's old. I dated my 2nd husband for a yr and was madley in love with him. We were married for 20 yrs until I couldn't take his drinking, and the physical and mental abuse anymore. I finally woke up and knew I couldn't let my children see or hear it anymore. Divorced for 27 yrs now.

Answer 11

The first time I thought he'd be a great husband and father, but that didn't work out at all like I thought! The second time, for security and because I thought he'd make a great step-dad. So far, so good.
