A tough question I know! And not one to be taken lightly is the person you love truly the person you want to spend your life with? Are you ready to settle down? Is marriage for you?

This educational short should help you to find the answers to any questions you may have about marriage.

    I've been married 11 years with 3 kids. We've had our ups and downs, nothing is ever perfect but I would not want to be married to anyone else. Her bullshit I can put up with because I love her.

    Didn't watch the clip... but I don't wanna get married. Ever.
    And no... I don't want kids. Ever. ^^ I would be far too busy to look after them and I don't think hiring nannies is a smart thing (no offense to those who do).

    If I wanna have kids, I wanna be the best dad I could be. Since I won't have time for that, I'd rather not screw up their lives! :D

    HAHA! XD

    That was hilarious coolsome.
    I really need to get round to watching more Mystery Science Theatre!

    As for the topic. No. I probably won't ever get married.
    I don't agree with some of the legality and cultural pressure behind it.
    Companionship? Yes. maybe one day I'll meet that girl and we'll try to be with each other as long as we feel its right.

    As for kids? I'd like to be a dad, but if I never have kids, or even have kids that aren't biologically mine, then I'd be alright with that too.

    EDIT: Getting into a relationship in the first place is what I'm focusing on! XD

    I'm waaay too young still to worry about this. It feels weird. Most of my forum friends on here are in their twenties and thirties. It's like being a sane Knives Chau.

    For me: Definitely no. I've learned that I'm not good at all in getting relationships started and keeping them working over a longer period of time has been impossible. (By a longer period of time I mean > 1 week.)

    Hell no! And I probably never will be. Marriage is a bad idea, I'd prefer to have the freedom I want and not have a family either. I'd be a terrible father and I'd rather not waste my time on somebody that I'll regret having.

    I want it all - marriage, kidlings, and growing old disgracefully with a man who's my best friend AND favourite sexytime partner.

    This is a scary thread.

    Though this may be because I still have the heart of a child.

    I keep it in a little jar on my desk.

    You definitely need loyalty, dedication, and the willingness to compromise. If you can't do that your relationship will absolutely fail. I don't really see this as an issue, however, because my wife also compromises and all of that necessary stuff doesn't seem so insurmountable to me compared to how I feel about her. It's peanuts. There is no comparison. And now I couldn't imagine living on my own. She really is my other half.

    I'd like to, but I feel like I've become too used to doing my own thing. Not that marriage seems in my future anyway...

    A few weeks ago, I would've said the same thing about myself. Stuff can change fast.

    When love hits you and you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

    I've spent a year with the woman I'm with now..and I plan on spending many more with her.

    I've been telling myself that, but I figure if it hasn't happened in the last 10 years, it probably isn't happening. At least, not soon enough for kids. .. But nevermind, I have a cunning plan.
