Just be upfront about it with the women you date. Tell them early on that you have no interest in getting married and you will end up with women who feel the same who you are compatible with and you can date happily ever after.
Srjth, but the thing is...I want to get married, but as I said way back in my first post, I don't want to end up being a statistic.

That's simple enough too. I've always been open to marriage, and there are a couple of people I would have liked to marry, but for the most part, most women I've met and dated never wanted to get married and neither of the women I would have liked to marry ever did.

Yeah, see? Things can go really easy if your open-minded, which you seem to be. Not everyone is so open-minded though, and I can't tell if the OP is this open-minded yet. OP, would you be willing to date a woman who didn't want to get married and was upfront about it?

Bravesrule, I want to get married and I'm scared too. I think at some point you have to just surrender to marriage or surrender to fear. You pick one or the other and you justify it and stay firm.

Then you might as well stick to dating and exclusive relationships because nothing is guaranteed to last. There is absolutely nothing you can do to be completely certain. There will always be risk of separation/divorce. Why? Because human beings are not perfect static creatures and most are hard wired to move on. If you cannot accept that reality, then don't get married. Period. Nothing wrong with that.
Bravesrule, I am curious about what you fear most in the event of a divorce: a. losing your money and possessions, or b. losing the woman?
Probably a bit of all three.
A majority of people, nowadays could give a rats behind about marriage, I DO. That goes for non-celebrities and celebrities. No one nowadays could care less about marriage, anymore.

Plenty of people care about marriage. I have no idea why you think otherwise. Plenty of people get married. The majority of people that marry stay married to the person they marry. Divorce rates are at a 35 year+ low. Is there a reason why you seem so obsessive about people that separate?
