Is marraige a good idea?

Friday, September 5, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I was thinking about getting married... although I am not serious with anyone



But is it a good idea? I like it... or the idea of it anyway. It just seems so peaceful and all that one-ness.

After reading this artical I am not to sure:

I had to learn the hard way about marriage.... my first tow were to abusers. One phyiscally, the other mentaly. Both wanted a thing to control and manipulate, and niether wanted me to be me. I got lucky the third time. He was ready to marry me w/in 6 months of dating, and waited three years...okay 2 yrs. and 364 days(we were married the day before our 3rd anniversy(sp?) ). He has taught me patience, understanding and a great deal of communication goes a long way.

So, is marriage a good idea? For me yes. For you? When you find someone, and you care, then ask yourself that question. Right now isn't the time to ask.

I think marriage is a commitment.


My and my girlfriends thoughts exactly. Hence the reason we just think we are married but it is unofficial.

Marriage is the absolute best. It has been my saving grace for 16+ years. And remember, your spouse is the only family you actually get to choose.

you were thinking about getting married? hehe
that's nice

well don't do it if you "think" it's a "nice thing" to do or don't do it cuz it's the "proper and right thing" to do.

and remember:

1. No "paper" will secure any relationship

2. Love is not selfish

(that's about all I learned so far, if I learn more I'll come back and post it here for you okay) hehe

Congradulations! Many happy years to your daughter.

At last your right WOM. And to add to it I guess it has to also do with how the 2 work... (excuse me I want to say a different word but can't think of one) on the relationship and keep it fresh.


I think the marraige rate is 50/50 now because many go in with wierd expectations. It is about being friends with your mate not just lovers.

(But don't go out with a best friend for years and you decide to make your girlfriend... oh lawd that is a mistake)

I still miss my friend.

I still don't know... how do you know when the time is right?

Then you have this big bash and tell everyone.

It be nice if you didn't and later if it totally flopped you could just sneak away.



I think that is one of the reasons why its a big bash! Plus the fact you made this promise in front of everybody and for those who are religist God also.

It be easier to hide the whole thing and break up anytime you want, but I guess that is the point.

Confused here 20 + 9 ? You can't be that old. At least you don't look that old - by about 20 years+

Fuzzy Logic thinks China needs to exaggerate a little less...
