Cd folks: Do you ever feel marriage is not in your future?
Yes, I feel that it isn't in my future.
Although I'd like to be married (and if you asked my why, I'm not sure I could explain it), it's more important to me to have someone who just simply loves me.
I am at the point in my life where I have to find my way on my own. It's time to be a big girl. As the song goes, "And big girls don't cry."
Does your husband love being married because he loves you or does he love being married because it legally entitles you to half of his possessions not to mention the fact that he will probably never get to see his kids again (if the two of you have any together) in the event of a divorce?
Do you see my point? Most men love their wives and I loved my ex-wife very much. What we don't like is having the law of the land tell us that, in the event of a divorce, we will be legally and financially bound to spend the rest of our lives beholding to some women that is no longer our wife. Marriage is a raw deal for men from a legal and financial stand point. It has nothing to do with our feeling towards our wives.
Really? Because I know a lot of married people - and the majority of them are very happy. My husband loves being married. But you are also entitled to your opinion. Nobody is forcing you to get married. If you don't want to - simply don't do it. It's not complicated.
My husband loves being married, too. And he's insane while waiting for our daughter! It's a matter of birds of a feather here.

My husband loves being married to me because he loves me. He also knows that getting married means that our lives are now one and if we do divorce (which we won't - we don't view it as an option) - that our assets would be split 50/50 as they should be. He also knows that I would never keep him from his child unless he became a danger to him somehow.
When you marry someone - you become equal partners. When you dissolve that partnership - you split the assets in half. If that doesn't appeal to you - get a prenup, don't get married, or don't get divorced. Women who earn more than their husbands also have to split everything 50/50. It makes sense to me.

If it doesn't end in divorce being married is very beneficial. Why do you think the gays are fighting so hard for their rights. When a person is married they can share pension money or social security. Or if one dies they see who makes more. Life insurance, mutual funds, roth IRA, 401k, tap funds, ect. Health insurance a spouse can go on the other's that has a better one.
There are good financial reasons to be married. Besides love. Companionship. Yes I think marriage is for people who are also not so greedy of themselves. Know how to share, take turns, and care for the well being of the other.

So marriage is for disadvantaged people?
