How long is too long? David Letterman married his longtime gf after 2 decades!

Aw.. yeah.. I know that feeling that you just want to be with this person for the rest of your life. But can't you do that without marrying? Like live-in?

Hi aisaellis! Yeah, I think 3 months ago? haha! How about you? How's your marriage? Yeah, I guess it's a matter of personal preference. May I ask why you wanted to get married?

hehehe..my husband and I are doing great everyday although we are still far away.. I want to get married because I want to be with him forever and to live with him..

Hi, Suzy! Yeah... Boyfriend and I are also together for 8 years now and we have a daughter but we are not yet married. Marriage doesn't really matters to me now as long as he's supporting my kid and we're good together. ^^

Just a Q for both of you and I am just curious on this thing. So here it is, is marriage really needed in every relationship? I know there are so many factors that would involve including religion and beliefs but aside from those two, is there other else that is far more important basis the marriage is necessary?

Hi, sirroB! For me, marriage is a matter of personal preference. Not really into it now. I wanna experience walking in the aisle while my man is waiting for me. It's overrated but it's like a girl's dream to be the center of attention. People wanna get married for different reasons. Some security reasons and before here in our country, a child is illegitimate if his parents are not married before he was born. But now, (like in our situation) even if we're not married my daughter got her dad's surname. As for religion, you should have the same religion before you get married. But I'm not really particular about religion too. As long as we understand and respect each other, I'm fine with it. Marriage is an oath to forever that you'll be loving and helping each other no matter what. I hope no one will get mad, but I think marriage is like making things formal, like telling the world, "hey, this person is mine now".

Hi, kun! I can't add anything more to say. I agree with everything you said. ^^v

LOL =D

Hi, walijo! Yeah, but you know people change. Like me, I am not the same person as I was when boyfriend met me 8 years ago and he is the same. I am still surprised everyday. I think if you wanna jump into marriage then you just have to love this person that you promised to love no matter what. And yeah, i don't get the idea of divorce or annulment. lol

Hey, Opal! I missed ME too here in Mylot! lol Yeah, been busy with my blog and other part time jobs. haha! azzhole you say? Yeah, I think I've read about a son, but it's theirs? I thought the GF had him from another man. lol I bet you are updated into showbiz. haha! Well, they have their reasons. Maybe he needed someone to take care of him now that he's old. ^^

Hi ate Pehpot! (see I call you Ate now not Kuya) lol I guess you're right about trying to make the relationship work because you're married and that you promised to everybody (including god) that you'll be spending the rest of your life loving this person. Maybe boyfriend is desensitize regarding marriage because of failed relationships in his family. His parents got married for the wrong reasons. I think it's not a good idea marrying someone just because you have a kid. maybe I am too. My mother brought me up thinking that Marriage is holy and that it shouldn't be broken. That's why I don't like the idea of divorces and annulment. It's just plain s2pid. But I also don't get the idea of living together with someone whom you cannot trust nor respect. My parents are still together but you see, it's not happy in the house anymore just like it was before. I think if their marriage fail, the whole family is affected. I guess it's better they live separately. When I was a kid I dream of getting married.. a garden wedding.. a house by the beach.. etc.yeah, such a dream. I guess I'm still dreaming of getting married someday.. Just because.

Oh, yeah.. I have said the same thing. lol (a matter of preference).. Boyfriend and I really don't have plans of getting married. I do wish sometimes, but it's like my childish dream.. like dreaming to be a nurse or a doctor, and like what I said, every woman's dream of being the center of attention. Have you watched Bride Wars? I guess that will explain it. My boyfriend and I have talked about it too. Whenever friends and acquaintances ask why we're not married, I ask him again why he didn't want to get married. He's a very practical person and he didn't want to go through the hassle and preparation. That's fine with me as long as he's honest and supports me and my kid. I see a lot of marriages fail after a few years.. are we being cynical? May be or maybe not. We also don't want to go through annulment process. lol Yeah, that's another thing. If you have decided that you wanna marry this person, you don't want to end up regretting it. It's a decision. I don't get the idea of promising to god or infront of whoever marrying you that you'll be loving them for the rest of your life through thick and thin, and after a few short years, you'll be filing an annulment case. to me that's BS.. Face the consequence later on? It's like you're saying you'll jump with your eyes closed. lol
