My aunt went through a terrible divorce and decided not to remarry but she has an amazing man in her life who we all adore...she has not interest in getting married even though he would love to!
If you really feel like you never want to get married again.....PLEASE, PLEASE don't then!! If you want a companion, then "go for that". But, truth is, some people who just get a companion sometimes end up falling in love and marriage happens even though not first arranged like that.
As for wife and I, this being both of us third marriage, we LOVE being married and both of us HATED being single. Good Luck!!
It wouldn't matter much one way or the other to me. My current wife and my late wife before her both said they didn't want to remarry, but my late wife and I were married after less than a year (it just seemed natural), and my current wife told me after a couple years (of living together) that if I wasn't going to marry her, she wasn't going to stay around forever.
My point is, just do what feels right when it feels right.
One of my aunts was very wise and never married to anybody. I think she rarely dated too.

I will never marry again, but I do hope I fall in love again & enjoy a "LTR". My friends tell me to "never say never", but I can confidently say that I will enjoy a relationship much more without the legal ties that bind.
Yes, marriage and companionship is the same, except one has a signed paper that causes money if you need to get out.
I agree with you. I also think that it depends on ages of the people involved. 20-40's would most likely get married and have Children.
People in the 50 year old is a toss up, and 60 and older, I would think they would be more interested in companionship instead of getting married.
They may have promisory note especially if they have quite amount of money and have children.

EXACTLY!! No legal ties. Can we not be married in spirit without having any written contracts between us? Companionship for a lifetime is what I desired, but after five years I was presented with two options, marriage or a breakup. Well at that season in my life I chose marriage, which was an active one for 15 years after our five year companionship. Although I am still legally married after leaving six years ago, I will never enter into a legal marital contract again. Not speaking for others, just me.
I can understand where a lot of you are coming from on this topic.
The solution is to date, find someone that is looking for a LTR and work it out like two reasonable adults. Who knows what surprises might be in store for you?
