Do you honestly think its for everyone? Couldn't people just be together for as long as they want? I see friends on facebook and just people I knew in high school, already married for quite a while. I'm 27!! I would be afraid of that stuff right now. For the people who were married, what's it really like? Is it really any different from just being in a long term relationship?

no
yes
i miss being married when i have to clean snow off my car
only different when it ends and the courts get involved

In-laws and finance the two biggest problems in a marriage..imo

No it's not for everyone. I had the opportunity to get married once and turned it down. I was not ready then. Unsure how I feel about it now. On one hand I like the sentimentality behind it, and I suppose the idea of people recognizing us as husband and wife... but on the other sometimes I think it is a bit outdated and overrated. Honestly I don't see myself getting married anytime soon, but if I were with the right woman and we both felt it is what we wanted, I would take that step.

Can't say how it is for married couples having not been there.

It isn't for everyone. Yes, some can just stay together without marriage. It's just going to depend on the couple and what they want.

I found it suffocating and stifling, extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary. I wouldn't do it again....

Is it any different from being in a long-term relationship? Well, yeah, it's messier and a lot harder to get out of....

Why was it so suffocating, stifling and uncomfortable? Why more so than a long term relationship? Just because it was harder to get out of?

I don't really have the time or the inclination to go into a detailed analysis of it at the moment. Suffice it to say that's how I see it in retrospect, and that's more than enough for me to avoid doing it in the future.

I'm guessing cause of the legality part of it. Its never a pretty picture when you get divorced. I was thrust in the middle of parents divorce, ever since then I despised courts and lawyers. It destroyed my mom in the process.

Well, alrighty.

marriage is gross.
i don't understand why anyone would want to do it.
if you want to give me a ring,
fine.
i'll take it.
but don't make me sign a contract.

Now I know why you canceled it ... *****!

And yeah can i get my ring back?!

shut up, fool.
i've heard about all the floozies you've been with.

I was married for thirty years and loved being married. I cannot say what the difference is between being married and in a long term relationship because I have never been in one other than marriage.
I do know my daughter is living with a man ,but they still want the special commitment they feel they will get from marriage, rather than just living together.

Is it the fear of divorce that you fear the most, or just all that can go into it and the binding aspect notions that go with it?




I have a ring for you b. There is this place I need you to take it though... Mount Shroom, Plume... Bloom.. something like that... anyway, will you accept?

I bet Torgo told you that!

That lying bastard!!!



Sorry Mariah , I did not mean to high-jack

It's all Queen B's fault!

Fear of breaking up yes.



All good. I could tell there was tension there anyway

sure.
i got nothin better to do.

don't drag innocent torgo into this.
it's all you.

I don't think marriage is for everyone. I have never had the desire to marry and still don't.
