    Do you want to get married one day? Why or why not? Are you already married/have been married before? How's the married life for you? Add what you want.
     
    I wanna get married and have one of those typical suburban family with a wife and one son and one daughter and a cat and a dog and a white picket fence and maybe a goldfish. At least when their kids. Before that, I wanna live in a city above a store in a small one bedroom apartment. And when when I'm old I want to move to the countryside with rolling hills and winding roads and miles separating the houses.

    Of course. Why wouldn't you want to get married? Even if just for the sole purpose of not having to sleep alone at night. Having the company of someone you love and care about is great.

    Some people don't like having their relationship institutionalized and spend their lives together without ever getting officially married. Some people are aromantic and have no interest in any kind of romantic relationships. Some people are old enough that although marriage may have been an option for them when they were younger, they are now at a point where it's unlikely they'll get married again so they've made their peace with it. Some people have had such disastrous results from tying themselves down in that way that they refuse to do so again.

    To answer the question, I do want to get married someday, and have children. I've lived with my boyfriend for a year or so now and I feel like we can take care of a house well, I can cook enough to make it a real home and not just a college kid's apartment, and I feel generally prepared for married life whenever it might happen - definitely not rushing it along though. Not ready yet and neither is boyfriend so plenty of time to plan.
     
    Eventually I will, although the relationship I'm in isn't able to get there yet, whether we want it to or not. Her and I love each other unconditionally and the array of things we convene on is boundless, and we're always there for each other when one has a problem or is down. I doubt we'd wait too long after meeting up, anyway. :b
     
    I would like to get married someday. I just want make my special someone happy :3
     
    I would very much love to get married. Been with my boyfriend for almost three years (one more month!) and we've already decided that we want to get married in the near future so I consider myself his fiancee and vice versa. :') It's just a pretty great thing in general though I admit I never did think I'd want to, lol, since for the longest time I was that "forever alone" type.
     
    Maybe someday. It's nice for the legal benefits, although I honestly already feel as though I'm married without an officiating ceremony. If I had legal benefits now with the person I am with, then I wouldn't really care about getting married and would just continue to be with him regardless.

    Still, it's not time yet. We're not ready until we're absolutely sure.
     
    I doubt I'll get that far. I mean, it's not my top priority to get married in the future. A kickass relationship is enough.
     
    I do, but not yet. With me being single and in the military right now it just makes everything easier. Whenever I get put on an assignment or deployment (Even though I doubt I'll be deployed anytime soon since the war in Afgan is supposed to be ending within the next year), I can just pack my things and go without worrying about how my wife or kids are doing. And dying is a very real possibility, I don't want to have a family and make them worry if dad's going to make it back alive or not. Once I get all my "HOOAH!" burnt up, I'll think about settling down.

    Marriage to me is a shackle that I don't need. All I want from my SO is for us to live with each other in a peaceful manner, & nothing more. All marriage proposals will be turned down without pause. & if she's adamant about wanting a family, she'd better look elsewhere.
     
    Well of course I would like to. But I've got a lot of things I'd need to figure out, and I'd need a SO, before even thinking about it.

    I'd love to get married one day, but it's just not that simple for me.
     
    Too early to talk about marriage for me. xD When I was with my ex, I wanted to get married really badly because I was SUPER IN LOVE and I wanted to make our love last and well...that never happened. lmao. But alas, I was only 17-18 at the time sooo lol.

    Right now...I don't even want to touch that subject yet.
     
    I'd love to be married someday! Not right now, of course. But some day.
     
    For a long time I'd just laugh if the topic of marriage came up because I couldn't even make sense of the commitment needed for relationships, nevermind long-lasting marriage. Then my parents split up after 25+ years of marriage and I questioned it even more but... now I just don't really care, haha. I can sort of see myself married and with kids one day, but I can see myself just as happy without all that, too. I do understand the appeal now, though.

    I guess next on the list is trying to understand the appeal of big weddings that cost tons of money.
     
    Hell no.

    I have a family that hasn't had a marriage that lasted "till death do us apart" since my great grandparents. In fact most divorces happened within five or so years, though some got lucky and lasted ten. As a result, my PoV for marriage is extremely bleak, and I fear it always will be. I only see marriage as a financial benefit and no more.
