    back on topic....

    marriage should not be asked for, begged for, used to fix a broken relationship, a reason to break off a relationship. a marriages only purpose is to bond a man and a woman together for the rest of their lives.... but as always, man has tainted something that is so meaning full.. and taken it for granted. it is more tradition these days than anything... and isn't taken as serious as it should be... most of america has it in their head that if it doesn't work out i'll just get a divorce and either lose half my stuff, or take half of the others....

    BTW, props to people like Mark who really understand themselves and acknowledge that "marriage" is not for them right now. I'd much rather see a person that says that and acts like that, than to see someone marry for all the wrong reasons.

    Props for people who are honest with themselves.

So let me state his reasons for wanting to marry her.

    1. we do all the same shit.
    2. she hangs out with all my friends.
    3. she has dinner cooked when I get home.
    4. we smoke together.

    Those reasons are for cut buddies, or jumpoffs.

    Marrige lately has become just a form of companionship and not a form of love.

    When I marry it is going to be with a woman on my level, that means smarts and money wise. And it is no way she is going to be on my nuts eveyday.

    Also as most people know the first six months a relationship is pretty much perfect, after that it goes how it goes.
    Marriage is not so much over-rated as misunderstood. People think that when you get married, everything will be perfect. If you get married too soon or for the wrong reasons...shit will go sour. Marriage should be the combination of two separate lives...it should be the joining of two people that feel that this person is someone they will be happy with forever.

    It has to be more than good sex...and we have fun together...you have to know that come thick or thin this person will be there. You have to trust that they will only be with you. You have to both want the same things (kids, house...etc). There has to be mutual understanding that neither is better than the other. Both should have something to bring to the marriage in a financial way. Marriage is hard work and not to be taken lightly. This "all you need is love" bull-shit is far too common. Yeah, you love her now when she's hot and wants to fuck all teh time...but how about 20 years from now when she's had two kids and isn't so hot...and at the end of the day she wants to pass out and have nothing to do with you or your dick? You still gonna lover her then.

    All I'm saying is that you have to respect it and not take it too lightly...or the shit may be the end of you...and all women are not crazy. I am very rational...Thanks.

    Not mine in particular as I need mine for further study and the advancement of the human race.

    However I am sure that I can work something out with one of my associates to have your request met. As long as you meet his...

    Something tells me that after being kicked in that balls his requests will involve pain coming my way...and while I'm always down for some hair pulling...getting punched in the jaw or kneed in the cunt don't sound so fun. I'll pass.

    Once again, this is in response to a subsequent PM I got. I'm long winded and PM box has a size limit..... ....and it may help some of you out there that have questions about moving in with someone.


    As many people have already stated, marriage is not just a rosy birds chirping sun shining proposition. There ARE going to be times when it gets rough, sometimes downright ugly. It happens. It's part of the package deal. Some relationships have it more than others, but ALL at some point or another are going to wonder if they've made the right decision to be with this other person.

    IF your relationship ALREADY has doubts and turmoil, then moving in....much like having children....will only compound those issues. Sure, it may be very nice and rosy cool in the beginning, but those same issues you're having now WILL resurface sooner or later. Remember, if you don't RESOLVE the problem it will always come back in some form or another later regardless if you live together, are married, just BF/GF, just friends....whatever. It will ALWAYS come back to be dealt with again. Sometimes it's wise to let something simmer for a minute before you walk over to it and stir it though. In other words, sometimes right in the middle of a heated argument is probably NOT the best time to get on your soapbox and tell your significant other about ALL the faults you think they have that have been bothering you forever. BUT issues need to be RESOLVED and a common consensus needs to be reached EVENTUALLY. You either do it now or do it later, but you will have to do it. Moving in together is NOT the answer if you have serious doubts or issues with your partner because that safety barrier of "going home" and being alone to think about things when you get upset is no longer there. Now you have to stew over things TOGETHER. If you can't resolve the issues now when you CAN get away from each other to calm down and think rationally.....what do you think is going to happen when you're sharing a home and a bed???? It could get ugly.

    With that said, I still think living together for a brief time just before taking the big step of marriage is a good litmus test for both of you to either realize this is a great thing you have or something that needs work. Either way, it is far better to realize you need work and make a decision vs going through the stigma of a divorce later on. Again, the caveat is that living together shouldn't be used as LONG term "test drive". I mean if you live with someone for 5 yrs and you still WANT to continue, why not make it official? What's the hold up? If there is a hold up, then maybe you shouldn't be together to begin with. There is no set time limit for someone to make up their mind about marriage, but there is a limit to someone's patience. I for one wouldn't feel all too comfortable with my partner if she couldn't make up her mind about marrying me or not.

    Anyway, I hope this helps answer the question.

    That is a very true. But all women and men dont think the same, so there in lies the problem. Because we all think so differently we react on feelings, Moving in with someone and marrying the takes big sacrifices on both parts mainly because your space is fixing to invaded by this other person. Also I have seen some couples that hate their partners love them the most. So I have to say in my opinion, I believe there can be a yes or no to this thread.

    I couldn't agree more, Jaime. I am always puzzled by people who live together for 3, 4 or even 5 years and aren't married... why? I mean it's their life, they can do what they want, maybe marriage isn't a big deal to them but whatever. To me, if there is any doubt after a few years then maybe it's not the relationship you should be in. After a couple of years, it's either be sure this is the person you want to be with or stop wasting time. IMO, there is no sense in spending that much of your life with someone unless you know or really think they may be the one. Of course that doesn't mean to rush into it but to give it time, get to know the person, get past the honeymoon stage, have a few fights, learn each others flaws and then decide if this could be where you want to spend your life.

    It seems like some people want to build a life together but still have the freedom to just walk away with no consequences if things get bad.... though some people seem to do that even if they ARE married and it's sad.

    Divorce is not the solution to a fight. I see "I do" as a promise... a promise to always try, to always put in as much effort as it takes.

    i got married after 6 years with my woman. I vowed before we got married that i would make sure that my life wouldnt end by stopping doing the things that i love mainly RACING. I made her wait 2 years before we got married and that i had a good job and was done with school. I see people get married and then you never hear from them again and they just turn into a house whore. I like to sit around my house but i gotta get out on the weekends and work on my shit too, LOL.

    I think I know what you're trying to say, but you may have worded it incorrectly.

    If I invite you over for a cook-out, you're not "invading" my space....I invited you to come by, right? The same idea goes when you comingle your life with someone else. It should not be looked at as what "I'm losing" rather it should be looked at as "what I'm gaining". If your partner is someone that you feel crowds you or invades your space, then to be honest you really should not be with that person and you should get out NOW while you can.

    All too often people have this notion that "he'll EVENTUALLY change to this.." or "she'll eventually CHANGE and do that WHEN we get married..."...... Ummm, NO!!!! Change is something that an individual has to decide ON THEIR OWN. When someone "changes" due to someone else's pressures, they often times revert right back sooner or later to the same place they were. Why?, because it wasn't THEM who wanted the change.

    So you have to look at things as a positive rather than a negative conotation. If you have it in your mind that this person is an "invader" then you will always have in the back of your mind that they are taking something AWAY from you.

    There's so much worth in a marriage that I don't see how it can be considered overrated. Marriage has been shown to be a major factor in good mental and physical health. It calms the soul. For the most part, people do a lot less risky things when you have more to live for than just yourself. Married people take better care of themselves. Marriage has been shown to provide a safe haven and good moral upbringing for children. Children brought up in a married home are less likely to be brought up poor, uncivilized and irresponsible. A marriage provides for a good foundation for morals, responsibility, education and just plain life in general.

    I don't see how living a longer, healthier, responsible, safer, life could be taken as overrated.

    This is not to trash people that don't marry. And it does not apply to every human on Earth. Later, QD.

    Divorce is not the solution to a fight. I see "I do" as a promise... a promise to always try, to always put in as much effort as it takes.
    Amen!!!! +500 If I could.

Marriage has been shown to provide a safe haven and good moral upbringing for children. Children brought up in a married home are less likely to be brought up poor, uncivilized and irresponsible. A marriage provides for a good foundation for morals, responsibility, education and just plain life in general.

    I don't see how living a longer, healthier, responsible, safer, life could be taken as overrated.

    This is not to trash people that don't marry. And it does not apply to every human on Earth. Later, QD.
    Amen to that too!!!!

    BTW, I didn't get home until late last night, hence the no call but I haven't forgotten.

It should not be looked at as what "I'm losing" rather it should be looked at as "what I'm gaining". If your partner is someone that you feel crowds you or invades your space, then to be honest you really should not be with that person and you should get out NOW while you can.

    All too often people have this notion that "he'll EVENTUALLY change to this.." or "she'll eventually CHANGE and do that WHEN we get married..."...... Ummm, NO!!!! Change is something that an individual has to decide ON THEIR OWN. When someone "changes" due to someone else's pressures, they often times revert right back sooner or later to the same place they were. Why?, because it wasn't THEM who wanted the change.

    So you have to look at things as a positive rather than a negative conotation. If you have it in your mind that this person is an "invader" then you will always have in the back of your mind that they are taking something AWAY from you.
    yeah that is part of what I am saying.

    As many people have already stated, marriage is not just a rosy birds chirping sun shining proposition. There ARE going to be times when it gets rough, sometimes downright ugly. It happens. It's part of the package deal. Some relationships have it more than others, but ALL at some point or another are going to wonder if they've made the right decision to be with this other person.

    IF your relationship ALREADY has doubts and turmoil, then moving in....much like having children....will only compound those issues. Sure, it may be very nice and rosy cool in the beginning, but those same issues you're having now WILL resurface sooner or later. Remember, if you don't RESOLVE the problem it will always come back in some form or another later regardless if you live together, are married, just BF/GF, just friends....whatever. It will ALWAYS come back to be dealt with again. Sometimes it's wise to let something simmer for a minute before you walk over to it and stir it though. In other words, sometimes right in the middle of a heated argument is probably NOT the best time to get on your soapbox and tell your significant other about ALL the faults you think they have that have been bothering you forever. BUT issues need to be RESOLVED and a common consensus needs to be reached EVENTUALLY. You either do it now or do it later, but you will have to do it. Moving in together is NOT the answer if you have serious doubts or issues with your partner because that safety barrier of "going home" and being alone to think about things when you get upset is no longer there. Now you have to stew over things TOGETHER. If you can't resolve the issues now when you CAN get away from each other to calm down and think rationally.....what do you think is going to happen when you're sharing a home and a bed???? It could get ugly.

    With that said, I still think living together for a brief time just before taking the big step of marriage is a good litmus test for both of you to either realize this is a great thing you have or something that needs work. Either way, it is far better to realize you need work and make a decision vs going through the stigma of a divorce later on. Again, the caveat is that living together shouldn't be used as LONG term "test drive". I mean if you live with someone for 5 yrs and you still WANT to continue, why not make it official? What's the hold up? If there is a hold up, then maybe you shouldn't be together to begin with. There is no set time limit for someone to make up their mind about marriage, but there is a limit to someone's patience. I for one wouldn't feel all too comfortable with my partner if she couldn't make up her mind about marrying me or not.

    Anyway, I hope this helps answer the question.

    Great post Jaime!!!
