Awesome! Are you having a big wedding or just something small and private?

Well congratulations.
 
we just passed the 20 year mark in november.I love her more now than ever.She truly completes me
 
I've been married for 13 years in June.

We have been up and down, but we have learned to talk more, be honest and open and share how we are feeling.

We have a better relationship in every area than ever before and continue to grow stronger.

Marriage is good with me :)
 
Man I want to get married. :(

Are you

1) in a relationship to someone you love and trust

or do you just want to

2) get married because you like the idea?

Because getting married because of #2 is a waaaay bad idea.
 
Marriage can be very difficult if there is no leeway from either husband or wife. From what I've learned in disagreements...someone has to lose face. I can't really remember a time where both parties have come up totally satisfied without compromising. Its all about compromise...but in all relationships there is also a more stubborn individual. That...is a whole different story.
 
What! I knew gay marriage was legal in some countries, but I didn't know that they allowed it in the UK. Sue me :o

its not marriage as such its civil partnership. it means gay couples get the rights of heterosexual couples. Britain doesn't have much of a religious objection in politics as it does in america. It really hasn't been controversial since it was introduced. I think the church was just happy is isn't technically called 'Marriage'.Pretty much the same thing though :up:
 
I'm pretty cynical about the idea of marriage. I keep hearing that the cute little things that initially attracted you to your spouse start to get really irritating after a while, but the irritating things never go away.

My 1/2 cent.
 
My wife loved it when I stalked her on the internet.. Been married now for 5 years (I think) and the best part is sneaking up behind her when she's not doing the dishes and giving her the ol In Out .. Thanks My Space
 
Do you guys/girls that have been married for a while feel the act of marriage was really necessary considering you already loved each other?

I love my girlfriend, but I wouldn't marry her, just seems like a big waste of money, instead of putting in money on a reception, party, and all that, I'd save it up and spend it on a beautiful trip somewhere exotic.
 
Despite having failed at it twice, I'm not opposed to marriage in general. It's the ultimate expression of your commitment to one another & should be embraced as such.
And you don't have to have a huge gala wedding-too many people spend YEARS planning their wedding & not one minute planning their marriage. I say, an elaborate, memorable wedding is fine. But you don't have to have the doves & the horse-drawn carriage & all that crap. You should only have 3 bridesmaids if there are actually 3 women that you want there. You shouldn't invite people who you haven't spoken to since the Clinton Administration. Be sensible. And if you really don't want to be bothered with any freeloading relatives & gossiping jerks, just go to city hall.
 
I'm not what you call religious, and anyways, after 3 more years of being with my girlfriend the relationship will officially be considered a common law marriage methinks.
 
Married 5 years now. I initially married into parenthood. I have told my wife on several occasions, if her daughter (now ten, then four) had not accepted me, I could not have married her. But now, we have a 5 month-old daughter together, and everyone's happy.
