Thread: For those not yet married

I don't intend to get married for a while yet.

I'm happy, although i've been married for (hmm) 18 years.

Currently not married, was married, but unfortunately she was not as ready for marriage as she thought.

oh well, never was really good at picking em.

i always ask myself why do all the crazy ones find me!!??? i never go out "looking" for a gir but the crazyones always find me and i can never get away fast enough

Married twice. Twice divorced. Lived with many.

If I ever get married again(highly unlikely), it will be for money! ..not love!

Not yet married, but I will be fairly soon. We have been together on and off since middle school. Now that we are grown up, things are going very smooth. Couples therapy is a wonderful thing, even if your relationship is good!!

Sounds like some of you guys have common law marriages but you just don't know it...

If anyone's thinking of asking their girl to marry them, I'd recommend you ask her father, too. I asked her first, then asked for his blessing. It's a bit traditional, but I think he respects me a little more for it. More importantly, my wife really liked that I asked.

+1 to what bingo said.. if her old man and mom dont like you your gonna just make both your lives suck

well as long as we're handing out marriage advice, I obviously can't tell you how to have a happy marriage but I can tell you this...

to those of you that are not married yet, if you are younger than 25 I would consider waiting. Not that I think there should be an age on marriage but we not longer live in a time where 18 is considered half the average life expectancy. We also not longer live in an age where divorce is frowned upon (or as religiously unacceptable as it once was).

For some less mature newly weds, this means there is less influence to stay and work for the sake of the marriage when times get tough, it is simply easier to leave and start a new relationship where you get all those new relationship excitements.

Even if my take on the whole marriage thing is wrong or at least incomplete. Consider the fact that divorce rates for people that marry under the age of 25 are 3 times higher from what I've read.

I myself am 35 and not married. I just haven't been able to find girlfriend . . . ever. I'm not gay, I guess I'm just a nerd. Since I'm between jobs right now, it is even more unlikely to happen. I thought I had finally meant a women that I may have had a chance with, but it ended in disaster.
