Being married is great for a woman but not so great for a man.
Basically until the laws are little more fair on a mans side this poster I'm quoting can't be beat. Marriage was great in the 1920's but these days it's not really needed.
Being single has given me a tremendous amount of freedom, which I very much enjoy, but ultimately, I enjoy marriage more and would like get married someday.
let me esplain u.
if u r single u will remain a handsome prince forever. if you marry u turn into a frog in 24 months.
unfortunately SPCA will not intervene on your behalf when she sues for 1/2 million 24 months later.

I'm single, mid 20s, and a virgin. Do I want to get married? I dunno. The only reason I'll even get married is if I find someone who I know damn well I don't wanna live without. I can't even imagine getting married before 30. I like to party too much and love the flexibility of singleness.
Hi SweetLike Sugar! Yep, you are right. I do feel strongly about marriage and there are nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I do love him with all my heart.
He is the type of person who had to have things in order and there is a process for everything.
He has an exgf who has been attached to him by way of a vehicle. We are together, and we are in a committed relationship, we live with one another, etc. With that said, he does not want to move forward until all ties are severed with her.
The car situation is finally over with, and now the only situation is...her dog. She left it here when he kicked her out and she has not done anything to take care of her what-so-ever. she is a wonderful dog, older. He did not want the dog when she brought it here and it was under the assumption that she would take care of the dog.
She has left the dog here for more than a year and a half and he has told her to come get the dog, etc. With her everything is drawn out, and that is how she likes it.
Drives me nuts.
We discuss marriage a lot, and we discuss wedding plans probably a few times a week.
One day we will be married and I suppose I am waiting patiently. I really do not want to be married right away as it is, due to student loans, etc.
I would like to at least be engaged.
Kudos to you for being patient. I would not be too happy at all if I felt that an ex-girlfriend's issues were interfering with the relationship.
I know some people think there is no reason in this day and age to be married, that it is merely a legal document
I thought as much

and social standing.
I see how this could be be important for some people. It's certainly not important for me. And there is nothing inherently better about it. Social norms can, and do, change.

What does a committed monogamous long-term relationship give me that marriage does not?
The freedom to end it without as much legal fuss.
I was hoping that the OP would answer the question though

Thanks. You know sometimes it is difficult, but so is life. We have each found someone who we both love and care for and that is a great thing.
It is all coming to a close, and that does feel good. We were just talking about where to get married over dinner, and when.
So, I know he wants to be married, but he just does not want to bring any baggage in with him. I do appreciate that about him.
You know, we have time. We don't have all the time in the world, but we have time. Until then, I will kiss him goodbye in the morning when he leaves for work, and greet him with a huge smile, hug and kiss when he gets home....... and dinner most of the time, lol.
