Are you planning to get married?

I had decided awhile ago to not get married.  Anyone else?

    Not even if a shotgun were involved.

    Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit

    I haven't decided either way.  I'll take life as it comes deciding there and then what I want to do.  For all I know there might not be a girl for me where I would enjoy her company immensely, or however there could be one out there that would make my life complete and make it a 100% improvement.  Therefore I won't discount the possibility to better my life.

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    was married for 11 years. I don't regret it, but I'm kind of glad to be on my own again, being able to use MY time as I want.

       I'd prefer not to, it's just a way that Western society can bone you pretty badly. It's not necessary, and it will remove half of your assets if it doesn't work out. That's wrong, IMO.

     

       Love is love, and you shouldn't need a nifty certificate from the state to prove it. But, if the lady wants it, then she wants it, and there is no way around it. I'll avoid it if I can, but I've no problems being "ball & chained", either.

    im 19 been dating the same girl for nearly 4 years, and have no intentions of leaving her.

    Do I have plans on getting married? hell no

    Does that mean it isn't going to happen?  Hell no  im whipped, on a leash however you want to phrase it.

    Basically it really isn't in my control.

    when i worked as a cable repair guy, ive been to many houses. when i went to single old peoples houses, 50's 60's etc, i felt sorry for them. they had the saddest personalities. i had a particular area and came to know many people by being at their house multiple times over the years. it was the single old women and men that seeked my company and conversation the most.  either by death of spouse, choice or ugliness.

    have you ever been in love? it is only a vow to each other to remain faithful because unfaithfulness usually yields a break up.

    the half-part at the break-up is remarkably anti-womens liberation movement these days, considering how far women have come in the work place. I think that crutch of entitlement towards women should be eliminated. however, men have been known to get half of a wealthy womens loot-but usually involves to fight the harder fight in court.

    i feel the same way for race entitlements as well.

    Marriage is pretty irrelevant, people even do in MMOs now!

    Marriage has nothing to do with love. You can be in love, and still faithful to that special someone, without marriage. Along the same lines, you can be married and love someone else.

    Marriage is about property rights, either upon falling out of love, or death. You can be with that same someone special for 20 years, get killed in a car accident, and, upon your death, all your property will not revert to her without a will. It will go to your parents, or brothers/sisters, or kids, and it's up to them what they feel like giving her.

    Similiarly, marriage is about employee benefits, such as health care, With the "significant other" being accepted for gays, this is decreasing, though some companies still do not insure a "significant other".

    Also, survivor social security and pension benefits, for those of you that still have pension plans, do not go to anyone that is not a spouse.

    It may sound odd to many of you, but ask a gay person why they want marriage to be legally recognized by the State. Generally gays have had long term relationships without legal marriage, so it would seem to follow that, to them, marriage is not about keeping a relationship long term. Similiarly, just because a heterosexual couple is married does not mean the relationship is long term.

    Hahaha that was funny but... 19 by my count.

    Anyway the answer is : Not a chance.  I love women, I love 'love'.  But I'm not at all interested in marriage and the legal/religious/money crap that comes with it.  I can love a woman for the rest of my life and be true... or I could wind up single forever.  I'm fairly attractive according to women so I don't have a problem picking girls up, but marriage is just not what I want to do with my life.

    Plus, if I were to ever have a child I'd rather adopt one already living in this screwed up world who needs someone [been there...] than bring ANOTHER one in.

    But who knows... life is a funny thing.

    Too late!  I've been married for almost 15 years.  If, by marriage, you mean sharing your life with the person you love, than I love being married.  I also feel it's very important that gay people have the same choices, legal and civil, and that it's easy and clear cut for them, too.  It's just seems wrong that there should be barriers for certain people.  Now as far as children are concerned, my husband and I are happy with our decision to have cats instead.

    I now dont want to get married. It is a great pity for me that i have not founded my love, the best love in my life.  In my own opinion, I hope it should be a long process from being in love with a girl to get married. My greatest wish is  to enjoy the process of love, not the end to get married.

  • baffbaff Member Posts: 9,457

    For me marriage is primarily a social bond. A way of formalising my relationship within my society.

    The wedding ceremony acts to strengthen commitments by enlisting my peers to reinforce and even police my decision. I not only have an obligation to myself and my wife but also to all those who bore witness.

    In my country Common Law legistation pretty much gives unmarried and married couples the same fiscal obligations in the eyes of the state. It does not however currently grant the same immigration rights.

    While in my own culture there is no longer any particular stigma attached to unmarried couples there is in Mrs Baffs. Besides, I'm old fashioned. I like tradition.

  • TechleoTechleo Member Posts: 1,984

    Technically I'm under a promissory contract with a young woman already. Due to distances and the lack of a formal ceremony I'm not married. Yet, do to the fact I'm promised to this woman and formalized the relationship I am married. Its a rather odd situation and I do plan to have a wedding ceremony in a year and a half. So yeah, I do plan to get married.

       I personally want to get married because its a step in my life which brings a permanence to my actions. I dont suppose marriage is the only means to achieve such permanence. Its simply the choice I made. I also feel its a very well founded choice. In anycase, Yes.

    The decision's been made for me.  I can't even flirt with a girl without freaking out about it and not being able to sleep for days

    I've gotten married twice. If this second time falls apart at some point (and I am 14 years into it, so it looks pretty stable at the moment), there's NO WAY I'd ever get married again.  There's nothing wrong with institution of marriage or even with my husband. I am just a little bit of a lone wolf (in the "reads too much and drinks too much coffee" way, not in the "buys a sniper rifle and picks off strangers in a parking lot" way.)

    I've been married for 13 years, and he and I are both gamers.  We have two computers so we don't fight over whose turn it is.  Sometimes we bring up the fact that if either of us weren't a gamer, somebody would be probably be complaining about the amount of time the other person spends in front of their PC.  Luckily, we're both vidiots.

    i don't care for marriage, nor do i have the desire to ever start a family. i prefer living alone and coming home to a house that's silent.
