CarboniteCammy Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Just that. What made you decide your wife/husband was the one for you? Also, what made you choose marriage over being in a non-legalized committment?
amaysngrace Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I got married because the test result was positive. 1
mass millz Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 The reason for marrying my wife is to long to tell. To break it down in a few words is simply because I love her .... Been together for 15 years married for 6. 1
carhill Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 In my demographic and socialization, marriage is/was the preferred vehicle for having a family, meaning offspring, and I desired offspring. My exW and I had an apparently wonderful synergy in many areas of life, along with common political, religious, social and parenting viewpoints. I thought we fit well together, both in daily life as well as our romantic life. As it didn't work out, apparently some of that was either in error or mis-perceived, but the basic tenets of the process still apply, for myself. In the future, the 'why' will move beyond the rearing of children to the legal and social benefits of growing old together as a married couple, consistent with those aspects of past 'reasons'. I imagine there are people who do marry who don't love/aren't attracted to each other, but presume, for the sake of discussion, that love, meaning feelings of romantic and sexual attraction, are a given, and provide the 'rest of the story'.
Pyro Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 We decided to because we wanted our LDR to be as short as possible and because we care for each other enough to have gone for the risk and the reward has been amazing. 1
Eve Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 We wanted to be together, always - and so entered into the physical part of what was going on spiritually for us. Take care, Eve x
KathyM Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 We married because we were in love, were very compatible, and were everything we both wanted in a life partner. Being a religious person, I know it's God's will that people marry, rather than just living together, and we both had no qualms about taking that next step of commitment to each other. So we had a church wedding with all the trimmings, and are still happily married after many years. 1
Eve Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 .. Also Hubby is HOT. In all reasonableness it was him or Keanu. Take care, Eve x
Silly_Girl Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 We feel we're a great team and fit together perfectly, and wish to consolidate that in a way that suits us. We both feel we've been unfulfilled romantically for many years and want to celebrate finding each other with our loved ones. We want to be married before we start trying for a baby (not a moral decision, but there's much less time available with kids around). The legal marriage best suits us in terms of how we wish our relationship to be judged financially/legally. We've both been raised to see marriage as a significant commitment within our culture and want that for ourselves.
Silly_Girl Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 I wanted to dress like a princess and have folk kiss my ar$e for a day. 1
