When I think of marriage I think of two scenarios. I think of the guy who hates his wife, job, kids, basically everything ever. Then I think of what I feel your marriage is like, where you guys are basically best friends.. if that makes sense. That's what Jessica and I have (weird that our ladies have the same name lol), so we'll get married eventually.

Oh, I thought that was assumed.

I've been with my gf/fiancé or w/e lol for 4 years now. I've lived with her for 3&1/2 of that and we have a 2& 1/2 year old. Still haven't gotten married mainly because of money / I want to make sure I want to spend the rest of my life with her. We're both about to be 23 so were in no hurry.

Implying you have sex and know what a vagina does.

You can but but I imagine being a high quality parent is a little tougher.....or did you mean living together?

I'm in no hurry to get married. Can't afford it. I think I found the girl though. We'll see.

You just replied to F4F ... and didn't say anything about C4F.

Does that make the relationship any less real or something? I'm more interested in the non religious married people's view on this. Is it society's view, you want the gifts, takes relationship to next level, etc...

To be perfectly honest, I think the the social/legal benefits should go the way of the dinosaur and that there should be no recognition of marriage legally. If you have a culture background that celebrates it or do it for spiritual reasons, it shouldn't be required that there be a legal document stating it.

I'd like to think this is how I'd respond as well, though I don't anticipate it happening.

We've dated for 14-15 months now, and lived together for about half of that. I've seen her bad habits (can't cook, doesn't clean, etc) and they're a pain but if those are her worst qualities, then I can manage. Plus it's motivated me to learn to cook.

My wife doesn't have to clean much. Since we relegate most of our mess to our bedroom and my office, most of the house stays clean anyway, so the cleaning part is no big deal. She's an excellent cook. I wouldn't mind if she wasn't though.

Traditionally, this is usually pretty easy to figure out. LOL I can only imagine how one might not know which is the case.

And you know once they get married that shit is going to stop too...

Am currently married and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Personally, I think a big factor on how someone feels about marriage is based on what they grew up around too. My parents have been married for 38 years and hers for 30. Both were very strong role models on what a strong, loving, healthy marriage should look like. I never heard the arguing and fighting that some of my friends went through. So I never really had a negative outlook on marriage.

That may be true, but for me a in a slightly different way. Both my parent were divorced twice and married 3 times before I got married. My wife's parents divorced slightly after our wedding. My dad was pretty non-existent during my childhood. I think it made me realize their mistakes and I was determined not to follow in their footsteps. My wife and I dated 5 years and owned a house before we got married. We waited over 3 years after being married before having our first kid.

I dated my wife for 4 years before I asked her to marry me. We didn't have our first child until 7 years after that. Both our parents stayed married to their first and only spouse.

I don't fully understand the interest in defining if marriage is or is not the norm. If it's for you and your mate then great. It's available for you. If it's not for you, you certainly aren't forced into it by any means.

Not necessarily.

Marriage is the best thing one can partake in.

She already doesn't cook or clean.

So you proposed and all, but aren't making plans to get married at the moment?

Not that it's really my business, but why propose?

Married and loving it. I really enjoy falling asleep and waking up to the love of my life, every night and day that I can.

Do you wash each other's vagina's too? :laugh:

Again, don't need to be married to do this.

Socially, I'd say it's a demonstration of commitment, although given the numbers, there is certainly a joke there.
