i don't really know how i feel about marriage. i think it's sort of a crock and people forget what love is really about these days...but i can definitely see myself planning a nice big wedding, but just for the simple fact that i love to host and entertain, so obviously a wedding would be like the ultimate party i'd plan in my life.
but i don't have enough friends anyway for a big wedding. oh yea and i dont have a man either:p |

Lira, if you would like, you and I can get married for a little while so you can see if you might like it or not. Then we can get a divorce so you can marry your girlfriend. I already talked to my wife and she is ok with it.
The offer is on the table. |

I think marriage means a lot to people who understand and appreciate what REAL love is. |
this statement is just asking for a "pls explain".
love can be an illusion, especially for those who are seeking love from others when in reality they need to love themselves first. I digress, back on topic. |

Marriage does change your life to some degree. However, having kids will change it even more. I jumped in with both feet at 26. I went from single to married with two stepdaughters in a span of four months.
If you don't have kids, then it's difficult to understand. It is simply amazing how much time and attention another human being requires. That's the best way to sum it up. That's not a complaint - just a fact.
Having someone totally dependent on YOU is something you have to experience to truly appreciate.
I know the OP was talking marriage not family, but the two usually follow one another eventually. |

Yeah exactly. There's a lot more to it, but I don't really care to get into a "what is love" discussion. |

"Baby don't hurt me, baby don't hurt me.....no more."
The only thing I have not liked about marriage is the sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind that my father-in-law secretly wants to impale me with a trident. I just can't shake it.

People feel the need to just follow some sort of understood order in life, and that’s the problem with people these days and the reason for the high divorce rate. No one has a clue what love is and people are so ready to just give up on their partners the minute there’s trouble in paradise, but what they don’t realize is that “paradise” is the honeymoon phase, which is the farthest thing from true love. You have to make the active decision to continue loving someone. It has to be a choice you make and effort is involved. Everyone thinks that the honeymoon phase is when you’re really in love, but that’s completely false. In the “honeymoon phase”, all of your actions are dictated by raging hormones that are pretty much out of your control.
Same thing with having kids. Idiots in a marriage they aren’t even truly happy in just having kids because…welp, it’s the next thing married couples do. |

| not entirely true. that presupposes that its natural to be locked into a relationship with someone for the rest of your life. why is it expected you date a bunch of ppl and then bingo death until you part. hell i love my mom and pop but i wouldn't want to have to live with them for the rest of my life. so yeah whats love got to do with it? |
