Iezyka 0 #1 January 1, 2003 Maybe someone who are married or wants get married would let me know your reason, I just haven´t figured out what it could be good for yet. I´m curious! What are the benefits of being married compared to just being a couple? Why did you get married or why do you want to get married? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #5 January 1, 2003 To have babies that aren't considered "bastard" children To have someone to smush bugs To have someone to lift heavy things That's about all I can think of, but then I separated this year after 17 years of marriage, so maybe I'm not a good judge. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #8 January 1, 2003 Aw, you guys are so cynical. My parents have been together almost 30 years, and by God there were years I WISHED they would get divorced cause they were sniping at each other so much, but for the most part, they make a great team. The best part of the day for me when I'm visiting them is I roll out of bed and join them at the kitchen table to drink coffee and talk about the paper. There's something that seems so safe and happy about it.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyIvan 0 #13 January 1, 2003 Marriage has to happen, it can't be forced, and I believe that's the problem nowadays, people wants to get married because 'that's the norm' SCREW THAT!!!, I wanted to get married once, I was really in love, so in love that my family got shocked when the 'M' word came out of my mouth, but, it didn't happen (long story) so, I'm still single and not looking, if it happens, good, if not, good. Enjoy life at its fullest because life is short, and not because you are married or not means that you are not happy, happines has many shapes and colors. Just my opinion.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidp 0 #16 January 1, 2003 I got married the first time because she was preg. ekkk we were both 18,,, (it didnt take long to figure out how that thing worked) the second time i married because she said if i didnt marry her she was "out of here" sex was great so we married. hmmmmmm should i try a third time? and if so,, what is a good reason for getting married. sex doesnt seem to be the answer. i can squash my own bugs,, lift my own heavy thing and i do garbage...

Iezyka 0 #17 January 1, 2003 squash bugs, lift heavy things and i do garbage... hmmI don´t see why I would need to marry to make a partner I live and share my life with to help me with things I don´t want to do by myself, whatever that would be.

Luna 0 #18 January 1, 2003 Quote>I still haven't figured out anything it's good for. Tax benifits. You must not be married. They aren't kidding when they talk about the "marriage penalty." I don't know I think they have tried to lessen it somewhat in the last year or two, but a few years back, for fun, I did our taxes as married filing jointly and then as if we were single. Let me tell you true, there is NO tax benefit to being married! We owed more. I'm not saying that is a reason to not get married, though, just pointing it out.

Jimbo 0 #19 January 1, 2003 QuoteTax benifits. Serious question here, are there actual tax benefits to getting married? Sure there are deductions for having children, but I thought that married folk actually got screwed on taxes, at least two income families. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

Iflyme 0 #24 January 1, 2003 Well my non-skydiving wife and I have been sweethearts since high school ... our next wedding anniversairy will be #19 ... I couldn't imagine living my life without someone to share it all with ... the friends we celebrated New Years Eve with tonight are our age, and have been married 22 years ... if and when you find someone, you'll know. There is nothing better. Last night Shelley and I went to LOTR #2 together. Tonight my friend Mark and I played on our guitars and sang love songs we have written about our wives. There is nothing worng with marriage -- it's all about WHO you marry. Quite frankly, I couldn't be happier. How 'bout this: I started skydiving after being married for 14 years! Now THAT'S a cool lady!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
