Been engaged for about 4 years now. I don't really care about weddings at all. Although i know that she wants to get married. Like you say, the expense is just ridiculous and simply something i can't really justify, just for a piece of paper to say we are now married. We are actually considering just to head to Vegas and get married there either next year or the year after. That would suit me fine. My cousin was with her bf for 8 years, got married earlier this year with a huge wedding, and they separated only a few weeks ago. So it shows that marriage doesn't really mean shit when it comes to it... :2 cents: |
was thinking about that with a girl we lived together for 4 years. At the same day I was choosing proposal rings, I came home and left her. As I understood there is no future with her. She changed a lot through these 4 years. To the bad side.

It may come as a surprise to you...but not everyone defines marriage strictly in the christian terms you do. For starters - my wife and I weren't married in a church. We were married by a Supreme Court of Canada justice in the beautiful gardens of his home. Ours was a secular civil ceremony. My wife and I view marriage as symbolic of our commitment not only to ourselves, but also our children. Notions of christianity and religion weren't even a consideration. |
I was married for 14 out of the last 18 year relationship. While that relationship didn't work out, I still believe in marriage and would change anything. I've got three beautiful kids and I look forward to being married again, someday, when I find the right person. It's my personal opinion that everything is a lot of nothing without someone to share it with.

I come from a family where my maternal grandparents who I lived with most of my life were married over 60 years until the first one passed away. And my parents who were married young are coming up on 50 years next year. But even with that background, I don't get so many people's compulsion to be married or partnered up with someone or to have children. I like being single and child free.
I do what I want, have a great house cleaner to take care of my house and I know how to cook better than most people. Sexual needs are satisfied by an ever changing cast of much younger slutty girls in my orbit. Just have my kitty Princess in my house for company. |
More power to ya!
Regardless, people usually get happier with age. Children don't necessarily contribute. I heard that from a great documentary called " This Emotional Life" |
