What does marriage mean to you?

I firmly believe in a marriage that is lived happily ever after. I know there are girls out there who are looking for their prince charming who will love them every day of the week, and I will deliver exactly that to one special girl. I do see marriages where the couple gets bored with each other and they are miserable, but I will make sure that does not happen to me and my future one-and-only. I know girls are looking for their princes who will sweep them off their feet every day of their marriage, and I feel obligated to give that to one special girl.

I do not want my marriage to turn into me coming home from work then spending the rest of the day on the couch watching TV until it's time to go to sleep. No girl who dreams of a happy fun filled sex filled marriage wants that either. I have a pretty good idea of what makes a marriage suck and I think I know what not to do. When I am married I will want to spend time with my wife doing almost anything she wants to do. It can be shopping for clothes (or lingerie), shopping for food, dancing (I will learn to dance and take classes if my future wife wants me to), cooking, cleaning, or anything around the house. When I am married my wife will be my number one priority.

I don't understand how a man would want to marry a girl then not want to sexually satisfy her as often as she wants, and amazingly it's true for so many married couples. I don't understand why a husband would not want to sweep his wife off her feet as often as he knows how. I don't understand how a husband can have a wife and not have long interesting conversations with her that the both of them enjoy. It is so easy for a man to give his wife attention and it should be a lot more fun for him to give his wife attention rather than give his TV attention. And I especially don't understand why a man would deliberately live a lifestyle such that he is fat and has high cholesterol and has ED and he couldn't satisfy his wife even if he tried. That is just plain pathetic!

In one sentence, a married couple should be their own very best friends.

mmmmmhhhhh. getting married to someone you don't necessarily love - eeeeeeeeeeehhhhh wrong! Marriage is a bond between two people who are committed to each other because they know he/she is the only person they wanna spend their life with or he/she know that they don't want or feel any attraction to anyone else! Why get married if you are not 100% sure that you will never cheat on him/her?

Well, fairytale wise, getting married is when you finally found the right one and you want to spend the rest of your life together and live happily ever freaking after.

*buzzer* WRONG! I don't know I PERSONALLY think marriage is just a piece of paper that says you're committed to that one person. It also gives a right to legally have certain privileges such as joint bank accounts, insurance, and all those goodies you get along with marriage.

I mean don't get me wrong I'm not against marriage, I'll probably get married some day and be miserable for the rest of my dreadful marriage. That's life but because we're so used to being expected to get married, it's like you HAVE to. Eh, w/e. Opinion- 0 Society- 100

Marriage means that you love each other. If you love someone, you may not always get along, but you can always work things out and you never get tired of seeing each other. Being in love means that you're always there for each other and care so much that it feels like you may just explode from caring so much. The problem is finding the person who feels that way. But love is one of the most beautiful things, it's something I live for. It's terrifying, amazing, wonderful, and at times, unbearable, but a life without love is no life at all. All we can do is try.
If it's divorce you're worried about, do some extensive dating. Date for as long as it takes to figure out if they're the one. Or even be engaged for an extended period of time.

I believe you should marry someone you're crazy in love with.but you have to be sane enough to know what you're getting into.

There was this couple on Jay Leno the other day that had been married for 75 years. And they were still truly in love. My parents have been married for almost 30 years too.but they just don't seem as happy as they could be. I do not want to have their relationship when I'm their age.

I believe that if you marry the right person, you will be happy and in love forever.
Maybe I'm too romantic. But that's what marriage means to me: being completely in love with someone. Someone who will care for you and only you for the rest of your life.
It is a lifelong commitment.
