Would you get married if you found your love?

Yes..why?

No..why?

I was married for 15 years to my kids' dad. It was a terrible 15 years for the most part.

If I were to find new love, I don't really care if we get married or not. I'd definitely want to grow old with him, but marriage is not a priority. But, if he wants to have a child (I have a few years left), I guess getting married is the more preferred thing to do.

No ... because once was enough. Plus, I have other priorities in my life right now.

Cats my sweet man? Yup, been there, done that. Marriage is not something I wish for and you know what, that is ok.

More like my parents in Germany. They are of poor health and I guess, I am gonna move back earlier than expected.

Nice. I am loyal to famdamily too, Shhh, ( I guess that destroys my mysteriousness men message me about).

Thank you for posting. So it would be important to you that your children were born in wedlock? I get that. ❤

You must get some mysterious messages alright

I've been married and been single for 20 years now. At my age lots of couples cannot marry for financial reasons plus I see no reason for getting the governments permission to be with somebody.

Not !!!

At this age , finding the right match is hard , keeping her is harder and if you do , it would be difficult .... so why bother ....
Living together but apart is my ideal go to relationship right now !!!

Been there. Done that. Now a widower.

No because a paper doesn't say I will love my partner much more,I can live with my partner or to make a family witout marriage paper.But today marriage is like a trend who give me more gifts,who sing at my party stuff like that to show to others how boss I am, I find it very silly but everybody is free to do whatever they like with they're owen life.

Done the marriage thing twice. I would love companionship, and friendship, nice living arrangement, but I would rather leave legalities out of the picture for now.

or not :)

No.

I don't feel a need to swear my love and pledge my devotion to a mate in front of witnesses or clergy to compel me to honor my commitment to that person.

It is not something I need or want.. But would not be against it, if it was to happen.

I dated a guy for 12 years he had his place and I had mine, worked out great..Since I had two kids at home at the time. He stayed at my house a few nights out of the week and then I would go stay with him a couple nights. Then we would have a couple nights alone..Neither was looking for marriage but was never against it.

Even tho marriage is not something I need or want.. To me the biggest turn off is hearing someone say they would never do it again.. Never say never..

Normally those that say they never will get married again, ended in a ugly divorce. In the process there will be things they will not do in the next relationship, that they did in the past. All because they got burned..

It is sad for those you meet in the future get the short end of the stick. Just because the ones in the past did not appreciate what you did for them does not mean those in the future will not...At least have an open mind..

At times just knowing the one your with is open to marriage is enough..

Don't let the past ruin future relationships~~~

maybe

I guess I'm odd man out, cause I would get married again, if I thought it would add to our happiness. It might be old-fashioned of me, but I still value traditional cultural rituals. To me, the symbolism of marriage is the highest level of romance.

NOT and yes, it was an ugly, expensive divorce.
Most of the marriage was wonderful tho.

Kids are no longer a reason to marry because I tend to date within my age range and the women which attract me are post-menopause.

I'm not looking to protect my assets either. There are legal ways to do that now.

Mainly, because our time apart keeps our relationship strong.
I'm also not interested in living full-time with a partner.
I don't need to be 'connected at the hip' with anyone.

Another thing which I've noticed is the fact when sharing a life full-time ... contaminates the pristine personality of both partners.
What attracts me to her and her to me is our own unique way of being.
Its the relationship's first attraction past the initial sexual attraction.
I'm with her because I really like her being her and she really likes me being me. Spend too much time together we start to lose that uniqueness.
There's still mystery and surprise. Mystery and surprise which comes naturally without trying.
After years of marriage, my X and I knew so much about each other, life together became mundane and stale. We had to take extreme steps to put that mystery and surprise back into our relationship.

Also, without marriage, we both have a choice to be with each other.
We are with each other because we choose to be.
That choice represents our own personal freedom.
There can still be dedication and commitment but the driving force behind it remains our own choice not because we are locked into a commitment contract.

I choose her because I want to choose her.
She chooses me because she wants to choose me.

I'm all about getting contaminated, my ultimate goal is marriage, it's my DNA.
