    Too many people rush into marriages and for all the wrong reasons these days. If you can't fully understand the commitment you are about to make then don't do it. Simple as that.

    That said, for the people willing to make that lifelong commitment, marriage can be one of the most awesome journey's you'll take in life.

    Agreed...Also, IMHO, I think a lot of people think it's easier to give up and quit than work on it...

    Also, FFB has given some really good advice on this topic...Do I see myself getting married one day, I didn't think so before, but I'm open to the topic, but of course, with the right women, not perfect, but perfect for me...

    been married around 4 years. It ain't always easy but is worth it.

    Communication is the key. I can't emphasize that enough.

    My girlfriend just left to tend to a friend. Her friend just called and said that her husband came out and admitted that he had been cheating with another woman and does not wish to work it out. The hits just keep on coming. :(

    Can you be my husband? :D Just joshin'

    I'm almost 25 and I am definitely not ready to get married. I thought I would get married in my mid-20's. I had a 2 yr relationship recently and now I'm enjoying my single-dom and I don't want to leave it for a while. He has asked for another chance. Am I wrong for not wanting to leave my single-dom? =/ Everybody I know is practically married or have a kid. It's like time is ticking away...

    if you meet her. and you're convinced it's her. if the thought of her getting away hurts. then marry her. if you don't. if you never feel that way. then don't.

    What about a woman who is crazy about the Rockets too, will stay with you and your boys (and act accordingly), get drunk, and watch the Rockets, and post on Clutchfans too?

    There are a few of us out there... :cool:




    I'm 25, been in a relationship for 4 (and a half) years and I entertain the thought of marriage, but it's not set in stone.

    It pains me to say it, but....

    In this day and age, marriage is only good for the raising of children. Aside from that, I wouldn't recommend marriage to anybody.

    (note: I've been married for 11 years.)

    Another thing... Unless kids are involved, married people don't really need each other anymore..

    i'm not, i mean I always thought you had a fruity username and all, but i never thought you was a chick...who the hell is supposed to know these things? this is why we need like avatars or something!

    EDIT: Manny gave me a lesson n who the chicks are on this board sometime ago. If your name was in it, I've obviously forgotten.

    MM, from what I've read about your marriage you probably don't have anything to worry about...
