I live with my bf and love him very very much. I want to get married and so does he. And we will. I think that when your married it doesn't ruin a relationship, it strengthens it. If it ruins it, it wasn't meant to be. My parents got married at 18 and are still together and very much in love(29 years May). Love does exsist.

uhm, I think if anything it would be someone who hates all women...

but a misogamist is someone who hates marriage. To be honest, that statement is so broad, there are so many different types of misogamists as well as many have varying reasons.

if i do get married, it's strictly in legal terms. i don't want a big wedding.. hell i don't want a wedding at all.

i also don't care if i get married either. i'm going to be childless forever, so that's not an issue to me.

[spunsugar]

a marriage won't make you happy if you weren't already.I didn't think I would care about getting married at all. I thought I could just live with my psuedo hubby and everything would be ok. but no.
I want a wedding. I want to throw a fricken bouquet and cut a cake and wear a poofy dress.
next year baybay!!!!

[PaIniNyErAnUs]

ill want a herim

[carmEl]

i def wanna get married oneday.. not in a rush tho.. soo much responsibilities that come with it..


divorce rates are sickly high..

so i dunno it will take me a whole lot to actually trust someone..

[MistressSpankME]

I'm deffinately getting married... Or at least having a family, there will be kids whether Ig et married or not.. but I doubt that will be the case.

I'm not one of those crazy chicks who puts a time limit on things and will be strapping any guy shes involved with into marrying her just because shes over 25 and her "time is almost up". I wont have a big white, traditional wedding either. There will be a dress, and a beautiful fancy, silky red one at that. Even if its totally out of place at the casual wedding I'd have.

Its weird because I totally want kids like.. now. I dream of having a family and get a jealous twinge whenever I see a pregnant woman or small child. I never really thought of who I'd marry... or directly of marriage at all untill my other half brought it up. Who ever thought the boy would bring it up before me??!!

Don't worry, I'm not getting married right now.. We're actually cooling our jets because that idea came up but its too early. We dont want to get married too young, especially since we are clearly not ready. I have alot of growing and learning I have to do before I ever commit myself to someone else and plan on raising a family.

but that's the thing though.... you're clearly seeing this topic with your own point of view to what you consider to be the norm. I mean, there are still traditional families out there who can't even fathom the idea of living together before getting married!

studies like this aren't necessarily irrelevent when you compare studies like this to other societies or other generations. the fact that you consider this finding to be totally obvious tells us what this population group's idea of the term "marriage" is nothing but a piece of paper and a big party... but the term can mean a heck of a lot more to other societies..

plus, seeing how multicultural canada is becoming (although this study could have been done in the states, who knows), I wouldn't necessarily go and assume that all these new immigrants are going to hold that same belief either.

new immigrants may or may not hold that same belief first generation,
but second... third generation, they all assimilate.

Every culture is different.

I recently happened to be in Asia just in time to participate in the elaborate Buddhist ceremonies for the dead held once a year. I went to the graves of my grandfather, and great-grandparents and realized that most of the plots were triple plots - for the man and his two wives.

married?

i don't know

as of now, i'm begining to realize that i have comitment issues.. maybe thats cause i just got out of a long term relationship, so i'm totally spent.. but just the thought of spending the rest of my life with someone seems totally un-realistic.. it's possible, but very rare. And finding someone who will be a good father, how picky are you supposed to be? i don't know.. how do you know it will be the right person when so many people before you have thought so but were wrong in the end?
marriage seems to be incredibly .. impossible these days..

after i get my life organized and i get all the piss and vinigar out, then i'll think about settling down with someone..

i'm hoping i'll meet someone along the way that totally catches me off guard..and i will do the same to them..and it will completely change my point of view on this subject

I love my bf, and he loves me. I trust that he is committed to me, and I to him.

I don't need him to marry me. Last thing that I want right now is marriage.

I need a career, my own apartment/house (whatever I feel like buying) and then maybe settle down into a more 'marriage' like relationship.

and maybe a couple years after that. if I want to. I'll marry the guy I'm with

I just wanna plan someone's wedding.

I think that would be fun.

Wedding planning would be MARVELLOUS.

good question. How romantic is it if daddy cheated on mommy once..? How romantic/perfect does it really need to be for them to be the right person?

I used to have all that prince charming crap in my dreams.. as I got older of course I realised it was ridiculous. But I still imagined my romantic history with the person i might end up spending the rest of my life with alot less spotless than it is now. Meh, no rush I guess. I'll know when the time and/or person comes. But being of the female presuasion I can't stop thinking of it of course...

[Custard]

i have no interest in marriage. maybe after teh age of 35, or if i put a bun in teh oven, and it would be better for teh kids life.

but the ammount of guys i work with who have had ex's take houses, money and kids away from them, has decreased its appeal.
