Marriage
22 Answers
How do u perceive marriage in this day and age? a waste of time or a statement of love? Personally, i am old fashioned and see marriage as a mark of love for each other, but typically my boyfriend sees it as a waste of time and thinks it is easier and cheaper (tax etc) to stay unmarried.
Anyone wish to expand......???

I know statistically there is possibly a decline in marriages, but the number of customers I serve every day that are either getting married or going to a wedding seems to be increasing. More and more of these marriages seem to be abroard though, and i don't blame them one bit! It is actually a very good way to marry, on a beach somewhere in a 5 star hotel, it makes alot of sense,
When we married way back in 1964, we saw it as a statement of our love, togetherness, having children (two) & to live happlly ever after. Fortunately, we've managed to do all of those - so far!
However, times have changed & like your boyfirend, lots of people can't see the point in marriage, for whatever reason.
My own personal, albeit old fashioned view, is that if you are thinking of taking on the responsibilty of having children, I think it's nice to have the commitment of marriage too.
Having said that, if anything were to happen to my husband, I wouldn't want to get married again, after all, I'm too old to have any more children & that would be the only reason for me wanting to re-marry.
Besides I don't think anyone could fill my husband's shoes!

But have been with my latest g/f now for almost 4 years and we live together and she does get on my ti tts at times but we will get married next may and am glad about that i think (well she tells me that I should be) No sorry only mucking about as she just hit me with her angle grinder .
