well i say screw all three. my vow of commitment really only matters to the person i make the commitment to and to myself. everyone else be damned.

Why bother? If you don't get married

It takes the fun outta getting divorce , that's why

I don't think marriage is important. I will NEVER do it again

<~~~~ Want's to be married more then anything.

Amen my sista!

Cheers to the "Never Get Married Again Club"

I briefly dated a 23yr old who was hell bent on getting married...scared me right off...that and her wanting more kids...I've already got two and kids are yucky!!!!

If God is not in your life,, I dont see the point. For me , the point is to be joined together by and invite God into the relationship. The exchange of the vows to each other and God gives it much more purpose,,,to me.

I believe ya! I did have to remind you of the ones you have

for me, marriage equates with family.

boyfriend/girlfriend, common-law, partners, etc. just don't sound or feel quite the same.

I'm a member!!!

I lived the American Dream of BEING MARRIED.. TWICE..

And have found out that THIS PIECE OF PAPER,,,can be a GREAT THING
or a BAD THING,,depending on EACH?

But NOW,,,for me to have a real DESIRE to go into a THIRD...
WE WOULD HAVE TO,,COMPLETE EACH OTHER,,,in ALL that we OUR!

I LOVE BEING MARRIED,,,,,,,I've spent MOST MY LIFE ON EARTH that way.

BUT, My point is that IF I FIND LOVE AND ITS RETURNED,,then THAT
MARRIAGE THING,,,would be ALL HER DESIRE to HAVE, as I feel now,
that MANY are scared away like above mentioned,,w/o even TRYING to know the person,,as their FEAR of JOINING for LIFE with someone,,makes them RUN FROM YOU...

SO,,THATS WHY I AM OPEN TO ANY AND ALL,,BUT ONLY IF THEY ALL,,LIVE AS IF THEY WERE MARRIED...I can feel, be, act, and LIVE MARRIED,
with any woman I am IN-LOVE WITH,,,The paper just lets the world know you Both want to NEVER leave the other and it BLESSES the joining through our LORD...

And now-a-days MANY LADIES want to re-marry,,also to have the mans last name and legal abilities to have say in what might happen to him,,through their joining togther...

I have passed-up opportunities to get married again,,and they were the right thing not to do,,as I later discovered,,,as then NOW,,I might be into my forth or fifth divorce,,,,lol,,,lol Noooooo.
So THAT hasn't happen yet because THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME...

Terry, you are so darn serious these days. Anyway, I'm not fearful of anything, marriage just doesn't mean the same thing to me after having two failed ones. I would live the rest of my life with the right man with or without the "marriage" part of it. In other words, I don't need it to be happy. It doesn't mean I am "blowing off good men before getting to know them".

E, just marry me already and quit avoiding my pursuit of you!

I don't mind taking a chance I want to know we took on each other

OK,,,OK,,,I'll MARRY YOU ALREADY,,,,geeshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BUT,,YOU have to accompany me to Haiti for a year to help
re-build some places there....
Then,,,on to Asia, for one year of silents for the mental awareness
of the yuka tribe...

DEAL???????????????????

Sure, what's a couple years walking around naked carrying water on my head....

Been married once but not the ideal way I love to do it again properly with someone I truely love. That's the point......making a commitment to someone you love but at the same time you can love someone and also make a commitment without marrying the [person- so its' about compromising and decision making between two people who love each other so much....focks live, love, commit, marry and be merry!!!!

I personally wouldn't go down that road again, you can love and live happily without being married. You save on money if it doesn't work out.

Financial and medical is all I see. My mom's friends have been "living in sin" for 30 years, and the only issue they have is the financial aspect when one or the other dies, and even setting up the will's is a bit dicey.
