Some people think that I don't like children. I love them, but they are a painful reminder that I'll never have any of my own. Babies absolutely make me tear up. I've learned to live with it. Yes, men have biological clocks, too.

There are still quite a few living children of Civil War veterans....   Do the math.

[Rosebud]

People get married because they're afraid.
They're afraid their love doesn't seem real.
They're afraid their love won't be recognized.
They're afraid of being criticized.
They're afraid their loved one will slip away.
They're afraid of what might happen if they don't get married.
They're afraid of being alone.
They're afraid their loved one might take the easy way out.
They're afraid to have nothing.
They're afraid to lose everything.

Fear is at the origin of society.

[Indja]

^ Who ISN'T afraid of those things?? Nothing wrong with fear.

I want to get married because I want someone to be with someone I love and who loves me forever. I want to have someone to hold, to hold me, to talk to and have talk to me for the rest of my life. I can't see any possible problem with those feelings.

And they did it all without Viagra. Impressive.

Maybe in your world, if I get married it is because I am in a long lasting relationship and there are many benefits and privileges our society gives to those married, financially and for rights to the other person in case of an emergency.

[Morpheus Laughing]

In this day in age it does seem quite presumptuous of society to assume that a person requires a licensed procedure to nominate who is important enough to see them in an emergency. I personally can’t be bothered with romantic relationships but why should that rule out people, with whom I might have other emotional ties, from taking a concern in me if I'm ill? What about bachelor and bacheloress? If you prick us do we not bleed? Do I need to marry a friend simply to have comfort in my hour of need? Perhaps I’ll head the a-romantic frontline…  Seriously though, at work they usually just ask for an emergency contact number... Simple and costs me nothing.

On a different note: Earlier today I was flicking through tv channels and caught a bit of marriage trivia. I've not verified this yet but it was announced that arranged marriages have the same success/failure rate as chosen marriages. I'm not sure what to make of that - maybe there's a study.

You can nominate anyone you like to be in charge of your care in an emergency. You need something called a living will that gives decision making powers to the person you choose.

In the very back of my mind, I would like to get married. I want all the pretty hair and makeup, and I love to plan things myself. But then I see all the marriages that I've been living around, and I feel like marriage would be a waste of time, money, and most importantly, emotions. My parents and my sister have AWFUL relationships. With my parents, some of my earliest memories are of them fighting. I'm almost positive that they're only still together to be financially stable and for me and my brother, but it's to the point where when they fight, it doesn't make me sad, it's just really annoying because they're both crabby for the rest of the day.
And then there's my sister and her husband. They had my nephew (who is now 5) on purpose before they got married, and they've been married for 4 years, but it's falling apart really quickly. My sister is super brutal on my brother-in-law and I always see her screaming at him to get another job, even though he has two, and she won't get one because she makes a ton of excuses yet spends $100 on a pair of jeans and $80 on a vest. Although in her defense, he got a ton of loans without telling her.
Things like this make it so that I'm 19 and never had a boyfriend because I see that and clam up whenever I think about it.
I'm not saying that ALL marriages are like that, but I can't predict the future, so who knows.

We met when I was 18 and he was 19. Moved in together at 21. Engaged at 22. Married at 23. Baby at 24. (and 27 and 29 and 30).

I've sort of always wanted a large family, but after watching too many TLC baby shows, I'm terrified at the prospect of pregnancy and childbirth. How was it for you?

Not as bad as what they show on TV and I have had four babies with no pain relief other than the odd bit of nitrous oxide (which i mostly ask for because it is fun...)

Sounds like you want a wedding rather than a marriage OOOH!! I'll give you a wedding!! We'll find some suitably sexy manbeast or ladyfox, get you all dolled up and you can plan it to your heart's content and get the lovely dress and hair and your "first dance" and lots of lovely joyous photos of people who are going to get wildly inappropriately drunk later that night, but you can say "I don't" instead! I could make a career out of it - there's definitely a gap in the market.

I am genuinely excited about my new business prospect xD


I want bajillions of babies, and though the idea of squeezing human skulls out of Monsieur Vayjee kinda freaks me out, I don't think it'd stop me xD Then again, I've always wanted to adopt, so.... I dunno.

LOL Oh man. Whoops!
You can help me plan my mock wedding! It'll be in the middle of the horse racing track where I worked over the summer to a blow up doll named "Big Joe". Dynasty Handbag will be the wedding singer and then all the bridesmaids race around the track to see who gets the bouquet.

Yes yes yes yes yes!! Sounds maaarvellous I have my wedding all planned out in my head already. There's cherry blossoms. It's beautiful.

You could make millions. I know quite a few sad, single 30something women who would use your services.

[Indja]

They don't all have to be sad and single. They could just not want to get married, for whatever reason. It'd be like just a massive party, with no fear of commitment.

Hell, I don't care if they ARE all sad and single. I just want them to have their hearts set on the most expensive wedding you can imagine - KOM-ISH-UNNNNN!!!
