Would you still get married?

I am planning to get married someday,but I will ensure first everything is stable before I settle down.I will get married if I already have these-a stable business,house and lot,lots of money.I will marry only a girl I truly love.

i think i would still have gotten married even if there were no cultural or legal benefit attached to it.how boring it would have been spending the whole of your life with your parents taking orders. its good to get married have your own house make your own decision and stay with you loved ones

You sound pretty cynical about other people. I would still be married. It is a commitment, and it tells the world you are committed.

Oh yes I have been married to my one and only husband now for 41 and half years. He is wonderful, kind, giving, compassionate. Oh yes he has his flaws we all do but they are minor to all else being married to him has been. I would do it again, We raised 4 children and have 17 living grandchildren and four sadly left us to be in heaven for now until our Lord Christ reunites us one day. I deeply love my husband and love grows and grows. Marriage does have benefits it has companionship with your best friend. It has sharing and giving, his has laughters and someone there to hold you through the tears. It has memories of all that has been and hope for what is to come. It is planning and working in goals and dreams. It is allowing for differences but enjoying the things both like to do. It is built on trust and freedom. It is not controlling nor ownership. It is family and children and grandchildren and growing old together. It is acceptance for what cannot be and moving past hurts and sorrows. It is knowing someday one of us may go before the other and one of us will be alone and then it will be hard and lonely and whichever it is I hope we are surrounded by loving children and grandchildren and even possibly greats and friends and neighbors who step in to help and care and share. That is the only part of being married that I would like to never have occur. It had come close already a couple of times for both of us. God has given us more time we are in our early 60's I hope we have 20 to 30 more years together and I will take 40 gladly. So yes I would still get married again

Unfortunately marriage today became an easy way for a woman or even a man to gain some financial benefit. It's a game. It also is no longer popular to get married. Women are now very equal to men, they have jobs and careers and make their own money. It no longer is like when I was growing up, where mom was home taking care of the us kids and dad worked. Now, both husband and wife need to work in order to make ends meet. And the kids are mostly raised by grandparents. I personally would never marry if I was doing it over. After whatI went through, who needs the stress and aggravation that goes along with it. It's a different world we live in today.

Hi ParaTed2k In my opinion I will marry only & only if I would love that girl .Otherwise I will drop this idea. But I don't know what time have for me hope all thing would go smooth. But i know my friend who wants to be married for money . He had made a mindset that if he will marry then it should be a multimillionaire girl.. many different persons in the world.

Well, since I feel that the only good reason to get married in the first place is because you are in love with the person you plan on marrying, yes, I would get married if there were no cultural or legal benefits. Marriage isn't about "benefits" in my opinion. It should be about love.

I would definitely still get married. Marriage is so much more than simply getting benefits. Having a wedding is a powerful display of your emotional commitment to one another. Although I do not believe in God,so I do not believe in the religious aspects of marriage, when you get married, you are declaring to the whole world that this is the one person that you love above all others. You are publicly stating that you have found your soulmate, the person you will always be with. You are throwing in your lot in life together with someone in a powerful way. Besides that, you are allowing all of your friends and loved ones to share your joy. The wedding doesn't have to be big or expensive, the whole point is to have your friends there and your family, to validate and support your commitment to your loved one. I don't know if I'll ever get married – but I would definitely do it if I find the right person. Social benefits or no social benefits.

I've always wanted to be married, more for the concept of being married, having 2 people together forever, making a statement that it's what you want... now that's extra special... the benefits of being married? They're not really there, anymore... actually, the worst is if you make a decent amount of money, because then, your combined total of income is put into a tax bracket, and there's a good chance it's a higher bracket, so you actually have to give more money to the government! Yeah, it'd be in for it much more for the idea of being married, then for the "benefits".

i have no idea but i connect to this subject somehow, i have no interest in marriage eventhough i fantasize about it, but when I get like you are cute can i have your number, it's almost an insult even when i was a teen what's that? I know that i am a little autistic, but it wouldn't stop me from having a relationship with a decent autie guy, but what's up with that? Do you think I should seek a psychiatrist?

Yes, I still would get married if given the right circumstances and person too. Especially now. I been divorced for over 20 years and I wished now I was married with my children grown and pretty much on there own. They are in college but a lot men my age prefer the younger female especially if they did not have any children yet. I am in mid 40's now. The older men are very set in there ways and activities. Thanks and have a great night. Sincerely Unique16

Frequency mine once said if a wedding is unlikely to be rolled again on the same step. I think this is a once in a lifetime it is still my view. I do not think marriage should be made each year a different person. interesting discussion. nice day!

Everyone have rights to make a decision nerther to marry or not.As we know,only a little people donnot got married all around their lives, and many of them also feel very happy.

nowadays most of the people just got married because of benefits whether we admit it or not, mostly people nowadays are more practical than before...but not all, right? because there's still people who got married because of the true love they felt for their partner...not all the love in the world can be bought by money!!!
