I always think that love is sacred. When two people are together, they must appreciate and love each other
But this is not the case. Many people's marriages look like transactions, or because they are 30 or 40 years old and choose to get married because of their age
In your opinion, what should love and marriage look like?

I was never going to get married. I had thought about it since I was young and I enjoyed dating and didn't want to get tied down and lose my freedom to follow my own path.
One night, I went to a friend's house to watch a hockey game.
He wasn't there but his roommates were. I had brought dinner and snacks with me. He had two female roommates and they invited me in.
We shared the dinner and then one of the girls went out for the night. The other roommate wanted to watch the hockey game with me.
The home team was getting blown out and the game wasn't very interesting so we talked instead.
A month later we were married. That was over 37 years ago.
We fell in love so quickly and felt that the only thing to do was to spend the rest of our lives together.
Sure, there have been some issues and setbacks but we built a life. Raised two kids that are both married and successful, and worked hard to be able to spend these golden years secure and comfortable.
Many sacrifices have been made over the years but I always thought it was worth it. We don't have the same relationship that we did in the early years but I can honestly say that I would take a bullet for this woman.
Real love lasts forever if you treat your partner in a way that shows respect and appreciation for each other.
Things didn't turn out as I expected they would but there are no guarantees in life.
To me, love and marriage are sacred and meant to last a lifetime.

Yes, I think so, too
Although I have some fears about marriage
I'm afraid of the trivia of married life
I'm afraid I can't handle the relationship with my father-in-law and mother-in-law well
Maybe I need to adjust my attitude and make myself positive and optimistic

Life can be a long series of compromises. Knowing when to speak up is important.
Knowing when to stay silent is even more important.

Unfortunately I cannot even think about it. I was a bad guy earlier. I got hard slaps on my face from many women for my misbehaviour. After getting beaten up by many ladies, I finally stay away from women and so decide to spend life in loneliness
