For the married couples...a question for the men

[Coupe81]

I fail to see the benefit in getting married. I don't need an expensive ceremony, expensive ring, and a legally-binding contract to prove my love to someone.

Believe or not women don't see it like that and it has nothing to do about love....

Dated for 6 months, engaged for 6 months, married over a year....go for it.....we did the tropical beach wedding in Costa Rica....just me and her, no wedding bullshit. Loved It!!!!

Girlfriend and I had been dating about 7-8 months when she told me she was pregnant. My proposal was, "well, you want to get married or what ?!"....and that was over 12 years ago. Lol.

And there is no denying the lineage of that kid lol

If she has any insecurities, and I mean ANY, don't do it.

When I realized she wasnt psycho!

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to be in an institution?

You don't know the meaning of true happiness until you get married...and then it's too late.

Is she worth half your shit and alimony? Why does any dude want to get married? I got married after 8 years and 2 kids just so the old hag would stfu about it.

Actually 3/4 of your shit. Half of everything, then half of your half <--paraphrased from a Texas judge.

Getting married in the state of Tx is all for her, and all risk for any male. And that's if you don't have kids.

<--is married.

There will definitely not be any surprises..i think we know each other pretty well.

I knew early on within a month. Didnt bother to pop the question for a couple years.

7 years so far, so good.

Man, you are definitely right there ! There is definitely no chance of going to Maury and hearing, "you are NOT the father". HAHA !!

Miyako and I dated for about 6 months and I broke it off. A few months later realized I had made a mistake. We dated for a couple more months and I popped the question a day before taking her to meet my family.

We've been married for almost 19 fantastic years.

You just know when you know. If you have to ask, then you probably aren't ready.

I've had friends that have been together for 7-8+ years finally get engaged and married, and then get divorced within two years.


The real answer, is that there is no magic answer. You're basically betting half your shit that she won't bail, and if she does, she gets the prize.
