single forever?

Question

Would you ever get married? Or get married again?

I believe that marraige is an archaic institution that has outlived it's usefulness and practicality. If I had a buck for every married man who hit on me...

I suppose that if I had a wonderful relationship with a wonderful man, and marriage was important to him, I might go through with a ceremony as long as it wasn't legal.

Answer 1

I am married, been married for 17 years. It is difficult, I stay because it is just comfortable, easier. However if something happens to this marriage, I do not think I can do the marriage thing again.

Answer 2

I want to get married
before people told me to be like you, to keep my heart tight, not get married or fall in love. Just use guys for money or occasional sex. In Health class we were talking about relationships..everything does seem so complicated but because of an old friend I won't give up lol..I'm so weird
please keep in mind that if I sound crazy it's because I'm real sleepy but this is true
but...
then I met a friend who has met his true love..
so it gave me hope
I guess I was brainwashed as a little girl, all those disney princess movies came out at my time
so no matter what even so many years later I have always had that belief in my head that it was possible, and what do you know
my friend honestly met it, I'm serious I could swear it
he is an orphan, he told me how thoughts attract things..(Quantum theory)
apparently all his life he was lonely and loved romantic movies..finally at 18 he met his girl..
I wish you could have it someday too
I will always hope that I will too
that's why I don't settle for no less than the best
if I learned anything from him, it was that you have to have a pure heart in order to have the capacity to hold true love
ALSO, my neighbors have been married for 20 years..and everytime I see them together they have a look that makes it obvious that they love each other. My friend..that was an orphan would never lie to me about that. He has a high IQ, got to graduate early..scholarships..if love was a waste of time he wouldn't get into it
and..I guess I may look at guys and flirt if they're cute but to actually go out with someone, I'll wait until the right one comes.
oh yea, and part of the reason for marriages detoriating is:
Cohabitation
premartial sex
don't do it

Answer 3

yes I would get married.It sucks that most marriages nowadays end up in divorce. It seems that marriage doesn't mean much to people. If they took their time and got to know each other then there would be less divorces.

I hope that when I get married its forever. If it doesn't, it will be for a good reason. Then I probably will get married again. But you know...marriage isn't the most important thing in life. you don't NEED a man to be with you. As long as you have yourself and God I'm sure you'll be fine.

Answer 4

I've been married. I'm almost divorced. I'm also currently in another relationship and will marry him in a few years. I don't want to jump right into another marriage but I am committed to him and believe we have a future together. I won't have a big ceremony like I did with my first, but I will still have a legal binding. It's for my safety and security as well as his.

Answer 5

I have been married and it was not a good time. However, it was because neither of us worked on the marriage. What I discovered after it was too late is that marriage requires consistent maintenance to keep communication and romance ongoing. I promise you if you truly fell in love with someone, you'd want to spend the rest of your life with that person and marriage would only be a formality to the equation. I hope you find that because it is the greatest experience that life has to offer us.

Answer 6

I've always wanted to get married. My fiancee and I have been together for 3 years and ever since our daughter was born (4 months ago) all we've done was fight like every single day.

So to be honest with you, I don't know. We talk about splitting up and I just dont' think I could devote myself to marriage to just have it fall apart.

In my heart, however, he is and will always be my husband. Even without it being legalized by the law.

Answer 7

I'm going to give you my opinion and I hope it does'nt offend you. I'm 37 yrs. old and have never been married. Not that I have'nt had the chance but because I do not believe in divorce. Why get married then?
It is just a more exspensive way to break up let alone time consuming.

Answer 8

back in the older days when you got married it was with someone you really cared about (unless you parents made it so) and you stayed with them and lived out the rest of your life together etc....
but now days you get people who get married after two weeks of knowing each other and it doesnt matter if it doesnt work out cause splitting up isnt seen as a bad thing and is very common these days. so it really depens on you, you could live out the rest of your life with that someone special have kids and not get married, people do it mainly cause they think getting married is over rated and not needed to show your love to each other.
but to answer your question yes i think i would if i found that special someone and they wanted to as well.

Answer 9

you do have a comment on marriages and not exactly a question -- --is the marriage institution out-dated? the answer is definitely a "yes". in Scandinavia somewhere there is a proposal to make the marriage contract last for a number of yrs. -- renewable. my opinion is --not only the marriage contract is out-dated but the government has no business administering it -- and less so the religious authorities. hope it pleases you.

Answer 10

A relationship without the commitment of marriage is usually doomed. Not a good thing when children are involved.
