Topic: Marriage Thread | |
---|---|
So if this thread is about marriage why don't we talk about it for a little. Like is it supposed to be what kind of marriage do you wish to have? Or is it about the criteria by which you wish to base your choice for marriage upon? Is it about the reasons for wanting to get married in the first place? Or maybe Marriage by state or religion? There are so many things to talk about with this topic. Like what colors do you plan to have your wedding to be themed,and what kind of music would you have played at your wedding?
Here's how I am going to talk about marriage. I am divorced. I am not going to go into what or who did wrong. It didn't work out. It wasn't a good experience. I do have an awesome kid out of it. Its not what I wanted for my marriage. I look at what my parents had and went through and mine was nothing even remotely similar. It didn't last my son was still very young at the time and I make it a point to avoid any contact with my ex that isn't about my son. I don't bad mouth his mom out of respect for him. But I think I would get married to the right girl if she would have me of course. But it isn't something I personally will rush into. There have been a few really great girls in my life I have thought about marrying but for some reason or another we are no longer together. I'd still like to have for myself something like what my parents had. They met and were married after seventeen days. They remained with each other till the very end which would have been forty-five years this may. Through eight kids as many different states and countries over the years. The idea is still pretty cool at least to me anyway. |

I would imagine that being a dating site, and most of us are here to find a partner then most of us would be open to marriage..... I have spent the last three and a half years single and celibate, and spent that time re establishing who I was and what I wanted in respect to relationships..... With a clear mind, body and soul, I knew this is what I wanted.....the sanctity of marriage..... the union of a man and a woman to make a permanent and exclusive commitment to each other.... what are thoughts on long distance leading to marriage? That depends on if they've EVER met in person, I think getting to know someone strictly through the internet, never meeting them face-to-face, and expecting that to lead to marriage? nope, imho you'd be better-off ordering a mail-order bride. Now if the two HAVE met, (and continue to meet)..even if only sporadically....then yes I'd say it can. I fully agree with this...^^^^... As I guess most of you are aware I have met someone here....(look at my pic if you are not aware...hahahaha) we have entered into a long distance relationship and we have met, and will be together again as soon as a few work and business commitments can be rearranged..... that meeting and spending quality time together made us realise that what we have is true..... if you cant meet up forget it, that time spent in each others company was magical and without it..... I for one would still be wondering..... is she the one..... well now I know..... sorry folks no proposal right here, right now.....hehe but watch this space..... as I read this thread I can see most posters here are a real and good men Estele...a good men who doesn't blame anyone else for their failed relationships. ..so be a good woman. .. |

They remained with each other till the very end which would have been forty-five years this may. Through eight kids as many different states and countries over the years. The idea is still pretty cool at least to me anyway. Our folks were more resilient and willing to compromise and work to keep a marriage going. Divorce made easy has caused marriages to be dumped without both parties trying to make it work.....easy come, easy go. My parents remained married, lived apart, then lived together, not much of a semblance of marriage, but when he died, my mum grieved! I tried to keep my marriage afloat, didn't even want to agree to a divorce when differences was the reason, but finally agreed when a 3rd party came into the picture. And if both couples are not married, there is no commitment at all and it is even easier for them to break up and go their own way....kids or no kids. So, for the OP.......I would suggest she should really examine and reflect on her way of thinking ie. what she thinks of relationships and/or even marriage before embarking on a new relationship, whichever kind it is. |
