I'm virtually married and after the first sex in nearly a year it's not looking good.

Sex is never free, ever.

Believe me, there is always a price, it's just that it varies! Emotional blackmail is a feminine art, and you won't even notice.

Sorry for sounding sceptical, but women know that they will get what they want in return for a bit of it.

It is probs a good thing if you are in the army. Army quarters etc. Or if you want to make it concrete between you and someone way out of your league!

I think marriage is great for creating a more stable environment for having kids. However if you dont intend to have kids, why take out a contract that says the other person is entitled to half of everything you own ? If you are male and with kids, she will take more than half as she will have the kids and your house.

I would need to be very sure if I was going to get married.

Well, at 1pm on Saturday the 22nd of July, I will be a married man.

Quite looking forward to it tbh. I would have been engaged to her for the thick end of five years by that time, and I'm as sure as I can be that she is the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I want to have children, and start slowing down my life. By christ has it sped up since leaving my teens! I'll only be 23 when I marry, but my life has just started getting stable after a few seriously turbulent years, and the wedding is just the icing on the cake.

If you are not 100% on the idea, then getting married would not be wise, but when you meet the person you'll marry, your life and outlook will change. Given time, a strong bond will form, and you will start to see what it is you want from the rest of your time.

My wedding is the starting point for the rest of my life, dedicating the rest of my life to Sam is giving me the building blocks to get started on it. I now have a very good idea what I want, and with her, I know I can achieve it.

I'd have to go with it being a good thing as I am getting married in September. He'll only be 24 bless him, but I think it is the right thing to do.

[numark1]

I don't think i could be with the same person for the rest of my life, wouldn't you run out of things to say.

I stil agree with the idea of marriage, but I'm too clever to throw myself into it wihtout looking first. Got engaged once, and if I'd married that guy I'd prolly be in a Battered Wives' Refuge. Best to think about it first, and wait til you really know the person

I think that marriage is lovely. I think it's great when two people want to show each other how committed and in love they are by getting married. No one can read the future, or tell how thier partner is going to turn out 10, or 20 years down the road. It's about acting on how you feel at the time, and how you feel about your partner now. Obviously I don't think you should just rush into it without any planning or looking ahead at all. But there's always going to be a reason not to do it, and lots of reasons why you should. If we looked at everything in life by planning way ahead, and getting scared off by all the if's and maybe's, our lives would be over and we'd wonder where the hell it went.

Prenup's don't actually have any legal standing in court.

Also, you don't have to be married for things to be shared when you breakup.

Anyway, you people are missing the point. It isn't "half of all your stuff". It's "half of the stuff you have between you".

So, you'll only have to give away half your stuff if you've married a woman who has nothing, earns nothing, and just sponges off you.
In which case, you should have seen it coming!

I hate the whole concept of marriage. I hate all religious ceremony but then I don't see the point of marriage for anyone who doesn't have a religious belief in it.

It is now just a legal contract dressed up with an extravagant social ceremony. It more than often involves stress, obligation and jealousy rather than pleasure.
I don't believe a ceremony/legal contract can really solidify any commitment between two people. It simply makes the consequences of breaking the commitment more severe.

I can see the value in it when children are involved but don't believe marriage should be a goal in a relationship.

Marriage is about money property and wealth.

But we have, over the years, let it turn into a soppy love affair which sometimes stops working.
Then the business side of things takes over and you have to split the business that you both entered into when you got married.
Fair.
Nowt to do with who loves who. Just a big sad day for all.

I'd still go for marry the girl tho.
The illusion of all that free sex is just to much to resist.

im surprised that so many people think to get sex you either have to pay for it directly or marry a girl

and has pointed out, marrying someone may well be more expensive in the long run

having a girlfriend who enjoys having sex and isnt in a rush to get married is better in my opinion
