    A life time commitment by couples who CHOOSE to love each other thru the good times and the bad.. Of course there are those rare circumstance that break the "padlock" (cheating, etc..) But personally I feel that if your not willing to spend your life with that person, then don't get married.. But then again, what do I know. :huh:

    I've only been married for 6 weeks, so I'm still rose coloured LOL, but marriage, to me, is declaring to the world that my husband, who is my best friend and favourite person on earth, is the person closest to me and ranks above all others. That we will stick together, put each other first and intend to spend the rest of our lives doing just that :)

    while i don't see marriage as a jail and a ring a padlock, it's not a path i see myself traveling down in my future. i welcome a lifelong partner to join me in my life, but i don't see the necessity of marriage - it probably helps that i also have no desire for children.

    i do like sex. a lot. and who needs marriage for sex?

    C - a very serious commitment, a partnership and most importantly a lifelong friendship. My husband is truly one of the best things to ever happen to me (an vice versa because as far as wives go, I'm f'n awesome)!

    There are days when I cannot believe how freakin' lucky I am to get to spend my life with my best friend. On other days, I want to scoop out his eyes with a spork. Luckily those days are the minority. Just celebrated our 15th anniversary in December.

    Wedding: A waste of money for one day. A show. The show shouldn't have more emphasis than the marriage.

    Marriage is a choice between two people who do love each other and want to support each other through good times and bad. It's a serious commitment and not a joke. It's not playing house. It's a lifelong friendship that two people decide to head into. It shouldn't be "run away when things are tough."

    Yup, this is my exact thoughts on marriage. I think marriage is a beautiful thing, so long as you're not getting married for ridiculous reasons..

    MAWWAGE IS WHAT BWINGS US TOGEVAH TODAY

    It's hard, rewarding, fun, maddening, hysterical, a labor of love and a great way to learn ways to hide bodies if it goes to hell in a handbasket.

    1st marriage is learning what things you can and cannot live with. You learn what your willing to do for someone you love.

    After 1st marriage: Realizing the person you want to be and changing your life to become that person.

    2nd marriage...I don't know yet I haven't done it yet.

    (Took me 7 years to propose and less than 2 to get divorced, I never thought I would had been one of those "divorced" people but well that's a story for another post perhaps one day)

    My marriage?

    My best friend sleeps over every night, we play video games all the time, we have a million inside jokes, and I know that at the end of the day, no matter what, he's got my back.

    And then there's all the guilt-free, stress-free sex. And when we do fight, the angry sex. And then following that, the make up sex.

    If marriage is a prison, then I'm a willing captive. =)

    Why on earth would you assume that your husband would cheat?? It just seems like a very specific reason not to get married... I can't even begin to picture a scenario in which my husband would cheat on me...

    ^^^This! My husband is my best friend. A marriage is a commitment to a partnership and friendship. You have to be willing to give 100% and work at it.
