Would you get married?

Probably not, because really, like 99.9% of the marriages are bad. I would really hate to spend the rest of my life quarreling with someone, like my parents do with each other. But having said that, I think I would be ecstatic if someone ever proposes, but I hardly imagine something like that happening.

I've been married for six years now. I'm pretty optimistic that it will last until one of us is dead, but if we were to divorce, I would not be so quick to marry another person. I'd work on all of my problems first. My husband and I eloped in Denmark. Both of our moms were against the wedding so we just did it on our own. I never wanted a big, elaborate wedding with a huge rock and wedding dress. We had a great time on our own. Even the twelve hour drive was great. I still love long rides with my husband.

Most of my friends were raised by single parents. I look at my parents and other married (or formerly married) people that I know, and I just don't see it happening. I've yet to meet someone in person that I actually had feelings for anyways, so marriage is pretty irrelevant to me.

Marriages are bad if we make them bad.... I see a lot of people married and are doing ok.

Check this.....I visit the cemetary all the time,.... I see more burried married couples than loner graves.... I think we exagerate the negatives too much.

I think marriages are mostly just convenience and fear of society casting a dower eye. I mean it's probably just fear of dying or reaching old age alone. But hey come on we come into the world alone we leave it alone (unless it's some type of bullshit Romeo & Juliet scenario)
Oh and yes I am from a broken family

I'm planning on proposing to a woman very soon. She'll be my second wife. I'm only 25 so I suppose that may be seen as weird in the sense of too much too soon, but it's just the way things are playing out.

Yes! Hopefully I will meet my true love in this lifetime . I would love to share life with someone special.

Not today. There's no sense predicting the future.

Would I ever get married? Hmm that's a question that I ask myself quite often. The answer is always a resounding no.

The fact of the matter is, yes I would love to meet a girl, settle down, get married and start my own family. All my friends are now either getting married, or with long term partners, I envy them. I truly do. Sometimes it just keeps me awake all night. Like last night. Didn't get a wink of sleep - still haven't.

I've tried to be in the position to have what my friends have. It just doesn't work, never has and never will. Unfortunately I'm just clearly not attractive to the opposite sex.

my plan was to get married around 30, have a church wedding and all that.

im not gonna find my prince if i dont socialise more in the real world and nothing will help that if im too shy.

I don't know. I mean, the thought of being proposed to just kills me because I'm a huge romantic, but marriage? it seems like a strange thing to do. plus the ritualism of the ceremony weirds me out. but if I were to get married, I WOULD want a real ceremony, whatever "real" means. it's so complicated. being 20 I have plenty of time to figure that out, but right now it seems nice to just live it. unless, of course, we decide to start a family. then it just makes sense.

damn movies with their giant white dresses telling me what to do with my life! lol

Some days I do think I'd like to be married, other days I don't think it would be fair to myself or the other person. I also don't think I'll ever be normal enough to be the reliable "provider type" that most women look for in a husband.

On top of that, there's so much in life that I haven't experienced yet, and it would be a shame to "settle down" before I had a chance to see a lot of the places and do a lot of things I want to before then.

If I did get married, I'd let her have it any way she wanted. That's her day after-all, and let's be honest, if I could ever convince a woman to fall in love with and spend the rest of her life with me, I wouldn't make too many demands as to which place settings she picks-out or whether we exchange vows at the beach or in the mountains. Ha Ha

Im currently engaged right now, Ive been engaged for a year now and the wedding in planned for 2011. for me time is going so fast.
Im getting nervous now that its only a year away, that may seem a long time to some but not for me. Something that has been in my mind that makes feel guilty is the fact Im afraid to involve too many people in the wedding, like I know my Mom will stand for me, but bridemaids and stuff thats where I get nervous..like I could incorperate his sister in law, or a close friend of the family but Im too afraid too..just imagining going dress shopping and hanging around these ladies Im afraid too like I dont know how to interact with them..I mostly get a long with guys..so that doesnt help. I know its our wedding, we can do whatever we want, but a part of me wants to incorperate more people so they can feel involved in it...and bring the families closer, but I guess I dont feel normal enough to do those things. me getting married to begin with feels like a rite of passage or a privilage that I thought I would never have.

I'd love to get married, in the distant future that is. I'm in no rush. I'd like to have faith that I will, I refuse to tell myself that I have less of a chance just because of how I am. I'm capable of doing whatever I like.
