    With gay marriage coming to England next year, and an Irish referendum I was wondering if many people will get married if they had the choice.

    IMO - I wouldn't , I just don't fancy marriage it just doesn't interest me?

    If I end up pursuing a long-term relationship, yes, we would be getting married.

    If I choose not to pursue a relationship then obviously I'm not too worried about it.

    The problem with saying "I want to get married some day" is that it insinuates that I want a relationship thus a marriage - which isn't the case.
     
  3. I'm not sure. I used to be anti-marriage, but I think some of the benefits would be nice to have if I'm spending my life with someone anyway.

    Just a marriage license and a judge declaring us married would be enough. I'm more interested in the legal protections of marriage than sinking $60,000 into some fancy thing that half my family wouldn't even be invited to.

    Pretty much this. And that money that would have been spent on an elaborate wedding could go towards a honeymoon instead :grin:

    I'd love to get married and settle down with a sweet, romantic guy who loves and accepts me for me. This is real life, though, not a movie. Not everybody gets their happy ending, unfortunately. :frowning2:

    After spending 20 years in a straight marriage, I have to say I don't know. There were obvious things missing, but the companionship had pluses (and minuses). At the moment, what sounds more appealing is having a friend (or several friends) to have fun and "FUN" with, but then go back to my own space.

    But if I met up with some guy that I felt so totally connected to that I didn't think I could live without him, then yeah, I suppose I might consider it. But at the moment it's not what I expect to be looking for.

    Meh I'm not bothered. If I do, great, if I don't, no biggie. I was never the kind of girl to dream of my wedding.

    Married? Yes. I figure I would spend my life in a committed monogamous relationship anyway, so I might as well get legal benefits with it. Plus it just sounds nice to be able to say "I'm married to..." Or "So-and-So's my husband..."

    Now as far as a wedding goes, it all depends. My immediate family is very supporting. But I don't how the rest of my family will react yet. If it's positive for the majority, there's a good chance there will be a wedding. If not...well we can just elope :grin:

    Hmm, maaybe. I dunno! I do know I want someone to spend my life with...but then would we really need a piece of paper to say we're devoted to each other or would love itself just be enough?

    I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over those wedding bells ringing loudly in my head. Did you ask if I wanted to go sledding? Well, not here in the summer. But maybe sometime in the winter ^^

    Absolutely yes! Because I want monogamy, and why would you not get married if you have a stable monogamous relationship? I know it's not very romantic, but the financial/social/legal aspects of marriage are just too good to overlook if you know you want to spend the rest of your life with that person anyway!

    Personally, I have incredibly cynical views on marriage (a waste of money blah blah blah) and as I see it I don't need to have some big ol' lavish celebration to prove my love. I'm pretty sure our mutual love is a good sign of us being happy in a monogamous relationship. However if I had a partner who wanted to, then I guess yes. Even then something small. But again I'm very cynical (and kinda a cheapskate)
