Poll: Do you want to get married?

[Sonic Doctor]

Well, I've been quoted twice now, I was hoping my last part would show I'm not entirely against it, but I'll just state, I don't think it's for me, but I wouldn't wish to see it banned, I think it's great....for some people. I just don't see marriage as something I'd aim for, and I do wonder how many guys really desperately want to get married, it's always seemed a rather female led thing to me. (that's started another one off, lol)

I'm just saying, it's generally not the guy sorting out bridesmaids and reception seating plans and cake orders and the like

Well the planning of the marriage ceremony and all is a woman thing. But really, if you think about it, who is the one that proposes marriage? The guy does. Very very rarely have I ever heard of the girl proposing to the guy.

The thing with me is I want to have kids some day. My dad was 36 when I was born, he is now 61. I want to set it up to where when I have kids, when my kids get married, I'll still be around when they have grand kids. I shooting to have kids when I'm in my early to mid 30's, that is a little less than ten years away. Now, it is recommended that a couple wait a year or so through the marriage before they have kids, that way they have more time to acclimate themselves to being married, before they complicate things with kids. So I'm looking at a marriage goal anywhere from now to 32 years old(Edit: 7 years). So I have that long to find a nice girl and get married.

My brother and I are the only kids my dad and mom had. My brother is gay, so really I'm the only hope of a continuation of the family line on my end of the family. My cousins have already have several kids, so the line on their end is safe.

I know it is an old-fashioned mind set, but when it comes to these things, I am old-fashioned.

 

[AbstractStream]

Yep! I didn't think I would like to get married or even think about it but got engaged a while back. I guess all it takes is just the right guy to come along.

 

[FallenRainbows]

Have a guess, or am I not well known enough to say that yet? *sad-face*

Yes I do, but as for my usually argumentative side on such topics Marriage ins't necessary or moral it's just an option. Personally I like the romance, commitment and the whole forever thing about it, but I'll not ***** at you if you don't.

 

[tholomew92]

At the moment, no. But in 10-20 years who knows? Same about kids really. I'm still 18 so I still have at least 3-4 years left of studying. If I might meet the right girl then why not?

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

For years and years I didn`t want to. In my personal opinion it is still a metaphorical chain. However, after meeting a woman willing to do it under circumstances I am comfortable with, yes, I would.

 

[Xanian]

I never thought I'd want to get married, then I met the love of my life and all that changed.

However, I'm gay so I can't.

:etpet:: Soon...my dear...soon we will make it happen...and then everyone will be equal.

OT: Naw...it's easier to keep my finances and taxes separate from his. I'm not very romantic. Six years going strong...why mess with a good thing? Not having kids...so...yeah...why?

 

[Gudrests]

Yep.

step 1: Get girlfriend... I'll figure the rest out after that.

LOL thats pretty much my plan as well

same here...altho im kinda going out...*looks at clock* in 10 mins to get one...sooooo.yeahhh Kind of hard to think of getting married...most people say im Bipolar...I don't think so. I just will change my mind quickley if a circumstance changes....I mean near instantly...I don't need to look at everything as a whole because I do anyhow...if that makes sense

 

[karloss01]

I'm not really bothered for marriage, i don't see the appeal of it. if you love each other enough why would you need to get married, being married doesn't really change much and makes it harder to get out of an relationship if it all goes wrong.

 

[sdafdfhrye3245]

I would like to get married but it will probably never happen

 

[CrashBang]

Whenever I get a new gf I start imagining whether I have a future with her. My last two relationships both lasted over a year and, both times, I saw myself eventually getting married so, yeah, I very much want to get married. Just gotta find the right girl...

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

175 people dont have pubic hair yet

 

[veloper]

Only if I'm ever stupid enough to get kids, for the sake of those kids.
There's no reason to limit my own freedom unless I fuck up.

 

[Valksy]

It would have been nice. But I'm 37 years old now and I very much doubt that it will ever happen.

These days? If I cared enough for anyone to be that close to them, I would have cared enough to not let them get involved.

 

[ajemas]

Nah, I wouldn't want to. The thought of spending the rest of my life in close proximity to someone else seems like a nightmare to me, not to mention the obligation to keep them happy and interested. I'm fine staying out of any kind of intimate relationship for the rest of my life.

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

I plan on marrying my gf once we're both done with college. I think her dad might learn to like me by then, and not give us grief about it. XD

hope you have better luck with her dad than i did with my ex's (but still the love of my life) dad.

but me personally? i can't wait to get married and have a coulpe 2 3 kids... i love kids...
so hit me up escapist ladies ;A

 

[binvjoh]

I wouldn't mind, though it doesn't hold much symbolic value to me.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Hell no.

I don't want a ball and chain strapped to my leg. A one-night-stand is good enough for me.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Only for the aspect. You know, things like my will, insurance and so forth. I detest the idea of spending several grand on a ceremony, and letting religion into a relationship is disgusting.
Sign a sheet of paper and go on a sex-filled holiday sounds about right. No cake.

 

[Flack]

No. I don't like the idea of marriage at all. Don't see why you can not just be happy with a relationship as it is, and feel the need to get a piece of paper as if to "prove it".

 

[K4ndY]

Been together with my bf for nearly 9 years, and still as much in love with him as the first day I saw him. We have a house and a car together, and we do our taxes jointly. We've felt pressured by both family and friends about marriage, but I had made it clear from the very beginning that it wasn't something that I wanted. I don't feel like we've been missing out, especially since I hate the whole "look at me" ceremony involved with marriage.

Things might change in the near future though as we plan on trying for a kid at the end of this year. If I do decide to get married, it would be for the sake of our kids, and it would most likely be a very, very small civil marriage (since most of my extended family are religious, I'm probably never gonna hear the end of it for not getting married in a Church...)
