because of the uncertainty of the future... yes it is.

Its NOT scarey, ITS CRAZY!!

Yes and sometime we jump into it to quickly. If there is going to be a next time...want to make sure we know each other better.

excellent point

getting married doesnt scare me in the least... its the part of "is it gonna last" that scares me

I agree

not all women do this sir sorry you got f*cked over but a few of us are still good people

not scary to me at all, I don't think anything's scary as long as you're doing it for the right reasons and with honorable intentions, if you go into it thinking "meh, I can always get a divorce" or "man this guy/girl is loaded, I'm set for life! now, what's the number for that guy/girl I met at the....." etc., then yeah, it's probably pretty scary.

I really think it's sad it's not taken more seriously these days, I still think it's a very serious and worthwhile commitment, just seems most people these days think it's stupid or a joke. My guess is probably because they're terrified of real commitment and work in a relationship, or they just don't get the point or don't want to be "tied down" even though they've been seeing the same person for like 5 years and live together etc. I really hate how our culture has trivialized a lot of things that are more meaningful and important over the years in lieu of less meaningful, instant gratification type stuff instead.

getting married isn't scary ...its the few months afterwards.. when you wake up and she has a new game plan for you.. how your going to change like it or not.. seems all the stuff before the getting married was to get you to committ... now your committed or at least will wish you were just kidding there yeah I would get married.. but I also know who I am and the lucky lady will too.

want to get married? haha happy new year joking

I never even considered it until 2008, but yeah, the idea was scary - after it didn't happen and I was so thankful it didn't.

scary no... stupid yes

Having been married once already, I would say there is absolutely nothing scarier.

Well, maybe a giant robot with an eagle's head that shoots laser beams out of its eyes. That would be pretty scary. But I wouldn't marry it.

Marriage isn't scary... Divorce is !!

The getting married part isn't scary. It's the changes that go along with getting married that would be scary to me.

Allow me to correct myself then, for a good many people the reasons behind why they got married are stupid or how they went about coming to this decision , the institution of marriage itself is not.

I'm in my first marriage and it hasn't even been a year yet. I thought I would be terrified coming into a marriage with 3 kids. I was wrong. I was more excited then anything. The only thing I missed is that my mother wasn't there to help me out.

Right On RKISIT!

even the odds suck. i think we broke it.
how about just shacking up from time to time?

Only if you are not mature enough for it, responsible enough for it, and there is no respect, trust, and genuine affection.

A little nervousness is normal. Terror and fear? That means its more about you than them. Time to make a personal assessment.
