    I haven't read the entire thread yet, but I'll say


    Health Insurance!!


    I'm sure my husband and I would have married anyhow, but we did when we did, 'cause he needed health insurance. :o

    well, I think it can signify a deep committment for two people. For some, it is the necessary, acceptable means for them to start a family together. For others, it is a step they are expected to take from their own family as a sign of maturity. For women, those who have never been married and perhaps those who would fall in this catagory, it is a right of society as in you were "chosen" by a man. None of those reasons are 100% true for everyone nor are they reasons that should be why you get married.

    Many people here are young and very intelligent in terms of sensitivity, relationships and love. I really applaud most of you because you seem to respect your others whether they are wives, gfs, husbands or boyfriends.
    In my age group, I have seen more people complain constantly about their others as if they are so restrained by these people that they only bitch about. But you know, (think SNL, "da bears") I live in Chicago where I must say very few men are really evolved. (If you live here and are my age group, and also disagree, I apologize because I have not met you so I do not know this about you............)

    Other than that, no hurry unless you need to wed before you have kids. Why burn the soup? (what???????)
    Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on The Creek......


    Together we will float like angels.........

    In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    evil....

    you get married b/c you need a woman to cook and clean for you

    and to do your "warsh"

    lol

    a wife who will bring you your slippers when you sink into your recliner after a hard day at the office and she'll greet you at the door with a smile on her face and a ribbon in her hair (and she'll keep the kids quiet b/c she knows you had a hard day at work)

    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
