Re: Marriage


Are you happy as a single male? Does your life feel complete or lacking something? Why wonder if now is the time? I think too many of us, male and female, go into marriage for all the wrong reasons. If there is any doubt at all, I'd vote wait.

Ok, Ok, all kidding a side....What I meant to ask was if you were serious with a gal to the point where you were CONSIDERING proposing to her! THAT'S what I REALLY wanted to ask you!

Re: Marriage


If you have to ask you probably aren't ready. I admit a big step and some doubts will usually be there about certain issues, but if you have talked to her about different areas (especially money and religion) and still feel that she is the right one for you then you will probably be OK.

Re: Marriage


If you do, be aware that the first five years will be tough, then it will get worse. The regular sex will be worth it, though.



Seriously, if you think you SHOULD, then don't, unless there are children involved, then it is an entirely different kettle of fish.

What regular sex? Who said it gets worse after five years? I htink it was downhill when she found out after the wedding how broke I was.

Getting married for the sex is like buying a 747 for the free peanuts.

Re: Marriage


First of all, don't take advice from anyone who says if you want to turn your life and will over to a some one elser get married obviously, he hasn't married the right person.

Understand that a good marriage takes "work". If you think that if you manage to find Mrs Right and that's all you need, you're wrong. Even when you marry the perfect partner, life changes things, not marriage itself, LIFE.

You'll have to be mature enough to know that when you disagree, argue, whatever, it doesn't mean your marriage is bad. You have to work to make it work well again. It takes two people. Lots of honesty, painful honesty sometimes.

It can be good to share your life with someone who you know loves you when you're at your worst. Dating is fun, but you always have to make sure your legs are shaved (well, not yours ). If you're talking about a long-term committed relationship instead of the actual entity of marriage, I figure why give up the tax break?

We will be celebrating our 5th year of marriage in July. I got the "5 year each" in my first marriage when I was immature and bratty. My first marriage was a CAKE WALK compared to this one, but I would do anything (within reason) for my husband, including fighting to keep us together when it's just easier to leave.

Take the gauzy veil and rose colored glasses off and you might not be disappointed.
