I've been married twice - the first was a dreadful mistake & lasted 4 yrs, but the second was a wonderful relationship. I'll be honest, I don't think it matters whether people marry or not, so long as they commit to one another & not just flit from relationship to relationship. I'm a bit old-fashioned, though, where there are children involved & I'd prefer to be married. This doesn't mean to say I'm against unmarried couples who have kids - it's just the way I feel, personally. I don't think I'll ever get married again - I'll never find anyone who could match up to Mr K. ( Anyway, no-one would put up with me..!!)
