I dont want to get married

I understand your points, but I believe in marriage. I believe in making a promise to my husband and not giving up. I believe that it is wonderful for my children to see our commitment to each other, one we made in front of family and friends. Keeping a promise and being loyal are important. So I didn't go into this lightly. I didn't go into this worrying about divorce. Times are sometimes difficult, but working through them is rewarding and helps us become better people. Been married 10+ years. I know it isn't for everyone, but there is more to it than the wedding industry making money.

Today marriage is purely for businesses such as the church to get money, you don't have to buy into it, not wanting to get married doesn't mean that you can't love a person with the same or more amount of commitment than a married person!

Infact, sometimes having a relationship bounded by law ruins a relationship, since it makes a person feel like they have no freedom:)

Marriage is shit.

I think it's fine to not get married if you are open with your partner and he/she agrees it's fine. Don't waste their time if they are looking for a marriage partner. If you decide you want kids, then you should get married if you are staying together anyway. Children benefit from that stability, and you need to think about the kids first if you bring them into this world. If you don't want kids, then you need to make sure nobody gets pregnant. Sometimes people try to trap other people with pregnancy. Or maybe they just want a kid whether the other partner wants to be involved or not, and it makes things complicated.

yeah its totally normal. but when you find the right person you are so happy. its like living with a boyfriend .

I tried it for 2 years not my cup of tea

I'm most likely not getting married because I dont feel any urge to. I just feel apathetic torwards it all.

I never want to get married as well. Marriage is just a piece of paper and a ring, and those thing does not prove your in love.

If you go into it thinking your gonna get divorced then don't do it. Only get married of you are truly in love and can't see the rest of your life without that person.

Sure, it's your life. Do what you want. Personally, I would like to get married someday, but I'd prefer a small wedding. No need to make a big deal.

hey, but, this is life, someday u'll miss someone who faithfull, stay with u, dont think bout divorced before u try, yeah, the life style today is just getting stressed, so many news on media bout divorced...
with who u'll be spend ur time, yes of course its not easy. but I think, yes, it's good.

I don't plan on getting married either.

Same as me :)

Yeah, agreed on most of what you said. Doesnt take marriage to mean you're committed. I think marriage might be good if you've been together for a long enough to know its not going to end in divorce. Doesn't necessarily have to be expensive either..

I don't really like the idea of marriage either, but if I found someone who I love and loves me, I'll probably end up doing it anyways. I'm not wearing a dress though, I hate dresses.

I dont plan to be married every - there are different committments you can make with someone that display your love for one another, other than a peice of paper. Its just money for the wedding industry and lawyers.

No one wants to get married nowadays.

it only cost me 30 dollars to get married. i got married at the court house. i never had a big wedding. you have to make sure the person you marry it someone you love and want to be with the rest of your life

My bf and I been together for 5 years now and we are in love! :) We're faithfull to each other and we're happy together. With out each other we were lost! We have 6 kids together (my oldest is 8 and the second is 6yrs old) NOT HIS KIDS. The rest are all his kids and another on the way due date September 9. When we first got together I told him I would never marry anyone in my whole life no matter how much I loved the person. He never asked me to merry him because he said he knew I would say NO WAY! But just two weeks ago he brought up the whole marriage talk! Im afraid hes gonna ask me to merry him!! My 6 year old lives in Las Vegas and we're planing to visit him in October after the new baby is born. I think hes gonna ask me when we are there IM FREAKING OUT BAD!!!
