(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I will post my opinion later; but am curious with this forums ideals on marriage.

To me, I'd see myself wanting to marry but only after being in a relationship for a few years.

Never marry within the first 1-1/2 years of knowing someone and being in a relationship with them. There are hormones being released between the two of you that produce a high. After 1-1/2 years, you become more immune to these hormones and start seeing one another for who you truly are. It is then that you can start making decisions on a more rational basis.

I'm not saying the love between another is going to end, if it does for one then it was simply the hormones that kept the two of you together. If they still see you and love you after this period of time, it's at a deeper level.

For me, I just want to find someone who i find attractive, that likes many of the same things I like and that I can actually talk to and have fun. If I was to marry, I would want to spend the first few years having fun with that person, traveling and such. Then I'd like to have kids. Two kids at most for myself. Space the kids 2 years apart. That's 20 years worth of raising.

Then after I retire, I'd love to go back and travel again.

Marriage is something I wouldn't rush into unless I had an unexpected kid. Pros= you have a wife that loves you and is yours and no one elses. Cons= if you get a divorce she takes all your money.

unless you get a prenup! lol

I would get married, but I wouldn't just get married within the first week of knowing the woman. I'd have to wait maybe a couple years before I can decide, at which point I will think about a prenup. If I find her very trustworthy then I wouldn't need to get one. Marriage for me however is not the most important thing. I'd love to travel the world as well, by being married your outside life begins to become more suppressed, and it means you're not able to do less things (IE for me I'd be absent a lot). Of course I would also have to go and get my degrees and complete my studies before I even start to settle down. At the end of the day, I would like to do as much as I can before I get married, even if it means sleeping with a lot of girls (inb4 whore) or traveling around the world with my friends. Because I know for a fact once I'm married, I wouldn't be able to be as free as I once was.

As for having kids, my friends parents have had 2 children, (him and his sister) and they've yet to be married. They've been doing this for over 20 years. So I don't think you have to be married in order to have a strong relationship and have kids. Of course some people abuse this and have kids when they're 14 but I won't go into that.

tl;dr

I'd only get married once I think I've done everything I can in my life, and experience life at the finest I can, and also if I trust the woman which I'm marrying, and I know everything about her. However if I end up knocking up a chick I would stay with her, but it still wouldn't mean I marry her.

Lol well said.
