Marriage

well, ill be getting engaged at 22 and married around 25 (probably). does that make me doomed, becuase i got engaged beforehand?

 

not a bad way to play it actually...kind of revolutionary

you'll have a trial period during the trial part of your life, then when you become an adult you'll get married

 

Not only doomed, but your wedding reception will be interrupted by a herd of stampeding buffalo.

 

mmmm, buffalo tastes good. ill have to make sure to give bows and arrows as wedding gifts then, and have a buffalo feast for the supper. :drool:

weve already been living together for 10 months... heh, we moved in together pretty fast >.> i never wanted to get married before i met him. hell, i swore up and down that id never get married and never have kids. now i want to spend my life with him and possibly procreate with hiim as well (things growing inside of you is kinda creepy, but hed be a cute father)

 

Marriage seems so unnatural in a way, but it's a nice thought if you ask me. There's some extensive criteria that have to be met for sure.

 

I don't think I have any a priori criteria. It depends on my relationships and if the situation arises.


Obviously there are general pre-conditions: mutual respect, etc. But I don't intend to micro-manage it.

 

I dont want to marry at all. But i think ill ask as much chicks as i can to marry me so ill have the record for most turn downs, for jokes.

Then my mom will be happy i tried.

 

Sounds like a good plan to me!

 

Required conditions: hell freezing over
Seriously. Thus far I have no plans to ever get married, and in fact find the idea rather distasteful.. it works for some people, just not for me.

 

I think a requirement for marriage should be being able to understand your partner after they've gotten dental work done.

 

I think mine is, you should be able to fall in love with them again if you awoke from a bicycle collision and had amnesia.

 

if i want to have their babies id marry them.

 

I'm really smart and loving and full of good advice.

Think about it.

 

I've popped the question and I was laughed at.

A guy has to meet my standards.....I have surprisingly high standards.

 

hmm i will now assess the quality of your genes and try to reconstruct what a lode-ruski hybrid would look like :tongue:

 

With us in there baby, theres no failure.

 

i dunno lode.. it might be that the child is too good looking for this world

 

I wonder whether I could live for the rest of my life with his defects... not with his qualities. If his defects don't bother me too much...

 

I became engaged at the age of 19...my husband was 23 at the time he proposed. We just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last month. Life is good, our love is strong and continues to grow even stronger with each passing year.

Age does not always determine one's emotional readiness to marry, however, maturity, compatability, commitment to the marriage and expectations do.

The right time to propose is different for everyone, but is something you need to think about very seriously before deciding and it should not be taken lightly. There are far too many "disposable marriages" in our society this day and age.
