Not fo rme. I think I am a loner at heart. I don't do well cleaning up after someone else. I'm ornery and mean and nasty. I'm darn well boring. I'm selfish and greedy and don't want anyone to bother me. I'm a green slimy toad person.
Marriage. No not for me.
All that being said: I had one great love and it was wonderful while it lasted. But I was a lot younger with a lot less health problems that would now make marriage hell for anyone who lived with me.
Oops missed this part
If you are married, would you do it again (with the same person)?
actually I am married. It works really well. He lives in his house 2000 KM away. I live in my house in a different province. It is working really well
marriage is simply a day for the ladies to be the princess, the one that everybody's attention is on. its a formal public expression of a couples love.
that said, i was married to the wrong lady for the wrong reasons (most jw's get married so they can shag)
i think if i met a chica who i really loved and she wanted to seal the deal after several years of living together id oblige her for sure. by law, whether ur common law partners or married they can still hit you up for 50 pct if shit turns sour. i definitely wouldnt rush into it like i did before. id actually even keep seperate addresses too. my shits mine and hers is hers until it was really sure.
Yuk.

I think marriage is unneccasary for a successful relationship. Registering your union with the government to get a piece of paper has nothing to do with the strength of a bond.
That said, I remarried last year because it was important to my wife. And so far it was the best day of my life.
I agree with Unshackled, and that is the same reason I married my current husband.
Marraige itself is a business transaction, and should be treated as such, you should keep emotion out of it as much as possible.
A close intimate relationship is not the same as marraige, and in my opinion, should involve all your emotions.
ff really
Marriage is just a day for us????? Yea right I stuck it out with an abuser for 15 years trying to make it work. Believe me it was more than a day
Yeah I would do it again in a heart beat. Except it would be a small wedding with just a few special people instead of the whole bloody congregation. lol

Marriage use to be a protection for children because there was security in having a father and mother and a household dedicated to being a committed
unit through thick or thin tell death-do-us-part.
Now...I don't know what the heck it is or what it is for. I think it has become something on a checklist.
Marriage is only for the few....
For the purpose of rearing children.
I think I'd rather have another good friend than a wife.
Good friendships don't need vows or contracts.

With the right person it can be heaven, with the wrong one it can be hell...
I'm happily single, but if I met the right guy I wouldn't mind being married either.
