Do you want to get married? Why or why not?


Yes!!! More than anything! Because I've always wanted to get married since I was a little girl and I still want to now! With the right man of course. I want a life long, beautiful and healthy marriage! And have a family! He and I would go through everything together. The good days and bad days, ups and downs, and be there for each other and love each other no matter what. Have as many adventures as we can (just the 2 of us and/or with our children as well). Of course love our future children, support them, be there for them, teach them right, and have fun and make memories as a family and as a married couple! ❤
I never ever wanted to watching people around me in relationships, my mum and dad and everyone in my family- i always thought it was stupid who could ever feel that in love to do such a thing etc Until i met my other half!! There is now nothing more i want then to marry him :)
Been happily married for almost 12 years now (wow, time flies). I think I always wanted to get married in some form or another all my life. Some of my guy friends thought I was crazy devoting my whole life to one woman but I'm the type where the value of a woman to me goes up and up the more time I spend with her to the point where we're sharing a whole lifetime worth of experiences we can reflect back on. The idea of constantly resetting that and being with a new girl all the time ceased to hold its appeal to me soon into my early 20s.
I did date around a lot. I was like goldilocks trying to pick out the perfect wife. Perhaps a "serial monogamist" as they call it. But once I found my wife, I think it almost felt like we were destined to spend the rest of our lives together from the earliest of our conversations.
I want to get married because I want someone to play video games with, do art and tech projects with, watch anime and movies with, and have sexy time with. But I can't find someone I like, because socializing as an adult is very limiting if you hate bars, concerts, parties, and clubs.

Hell no I do not want to get married. I did it once and it cost me 100s of thousands. Too much finical liabilities when comes to marriage. All the promises made never have to be kept and a court of law does not account for lairs, cheaters, abusers and losers.
Debating. I was all for it up until 2019. Thats the year we were wedding planning and then his parents got in the way. What a waste of 2 years of giving your everything to someone. Anyways, aside from that, there's a lot of legal stuff tied into it. If i marry, i want us to sign a prenup and i dont want to physically change my last name on documents, only verbally.
Hell to the no. Literally every single couple I’ve known, both family and friends, have gone through a divorce. Every single one of my guy friends have been divorced or they are in absolutely miserable loveless marriages and tell me they deeply regret ever getting married. With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, and of those 70-80% are initiated by women filing for divorce, why on earth would I, or any guy for that matter, get married?
I met my future wife after I dated 6 or 7 girls in the course of a year. I was sick of the games and all the crap that went along with dating. I was 24 years old and I was just ready to do it. I never regretted it.
I'm already married to and have kids with a very sexy very tall very dark black man and I'm a very petite white girl. I'm 4'11" and 88 lbs. with natural pure platinum blonde hair longer than I am tall and very bright very light blue eyes.
No, I prefer to keep the government out of my life as much as possible. I could spend the rest of my life with a woman, but I don't want to marry any.
Yeah I do. I found the right girl and we are getting married this year.
i guess I want a partner in life and want a family
Yeah I do, getting married and having a family at some point is something I want...
Although I don't care much for the wedding, I just want to be my partner's wife :)
nah. an expensive day for a piece of paper that doesn't meaningfully effect my life. its all cost for no benefit to me.
@Djaay or, we can do exactly that without adding a giant expense for.. a piece of paper that doesn't change our lives at all.
marriage doesn't equal happiness, as every abused person trapped in marriage can testify for. marriage is simply an outdated view and not needed in everyday relationships now.
Meh. I do but I’m starting to see it less and less for myself. I love sleeping in my own bed for one. I want to have children but I don’t necessarily need an SO for that. I would like love but love is never straightforward.
Been there, done it, got the T shirt.
if I do it again, rather than a wedding, the money we would have spent will go to homeless charity.
Why it is not beneficial for a man to marry in today's world. Seriously when the typical outcome is divorce alimony/child support be broke possibly homeless. And what's to offer? Occasional sex when the headache is gone?
I would love the lifelong companionship. Plus, my family might respect me more.
I like your way of thinking. Wish you the best.
Yes I do and why well I want kids and a family some day but I’m getting really close to giving up on that stuff tbh
when I was walking into the delivery room for my 3 month premature twins to be born by emergency C. knowing they only had a 20% chance to live. and the reality of watching them be born and die in front of my eyes was setting in.
No. There's nothing appealing about it that I can't get elsewhere, and I stand to lose if I did.
Like sure, it's fine. I would marry someone but I am afraid of the person he might become after.
I do not want. I'm not someone who wants a happy home, lots of children. I'm also very jealous of my children get all the attention when I get married. These are not for me.
hard to answer as i don't want dramas but i don't want to die alone at the same time
If it's the right girl then yes I'd like to get married. But maybe I should give her a little disclaimer about my OCD.
Yes, I would love to have one person to spend the rest of eternity with.
I would love to get married because I want to share the rest of my life with my significant other.
I want to because I want to build a life and new family with the one women who I will treasure for my life
Right now no. Just too focused on life and my career
Yes it's one of my dreams because I believe in marriage.
Can’t find the right girl So marriage probably not gonna happen with me.
Hell no.
Marriage only benefits women and divorce allows them to take half of everything men work for and own, which is why 80% of divorces are initiated by women.
Yes that’s my dream. That’s the only way I could move out with my boyfriend and start our lives together
Hell no. Divorce rape, child support, family law court, alimony.
Yes. I want to get married when I find a right woman.
Nope. I own lots of assets. Not trying to give half away... didn't get them by being a retard.
Pre-nuptial agreement
@OlderAndWiser that they often invalidate when one party is clearly in a position of power. Ie you cannot be well off and marry a girl with nothing to her name and leave her nothing in a divorce. You can leave her 20% instead of half. But why would i even do that? Seems stupid. If she cheats or something she won't get a penny. Thats how i want it to be.
I don't know where you get that impression but it is not true in my area. If a pre-nuptial agreement is properly drafted, you make accurate financial disclosures to each other, and each had independent legal advice before signing the agreement, then they are enforced.
What you can't do in advance is determine who will have custody of children or how much child support will be payable.
@OlderAndWiser the issue is they do invalidate prenups all the time and the laws of today aren't what will determine it, its the laws in 10 years from now. There is a clear trend to continue down this path and i expect more locations to invalidate prenups and for more reasons in 10 years from now. Just as a business man this is an entirely losing proposition as all benefits from marriage have been removed, even with a prenup its still just added risk for no reward.
Think of the people who married pre no fault divorce... then got no fault divorced. The contract is changing and it would be short sighted not to look at the trends.
I have done it once already, but I might do it again.
The biggest foolishness that people in love can do to each other is marriage.-George Bernard Shaw.👌That's my answer.
My future wife can't leave and take my kids, half of my income and belongings for no reason whatsoever if I never married her in the first place.
yes marry me, anyone, i want to be married now! i am tired of being alone :(
Girls do not have feelings for me :/
What marriage?
In marriage, real feelings develop AFTER tying the knot. Before that is all Mills & Boon.
No, there is no benefit and you don't need priest to tell you that you belong together
