Marriage != Death. Marriage equals whatever two persons are able to make out of their lives together. Sometimes two people together are able to make everything out of life; sometimes they are not able to make much at all.

I still have no idea whether or not I'll ever get married. I have never been married, but have cohabitated (shared a checking account, bought furniture, etc) several times before and I have a son, so yeah, I've for the most part, been married.

Some of the obvious benefits are very appealing; someone to grow old with and talk to. Someone to be there fro you to talk to when you need it. Someone to share you triumphs big and small with.


Some of the obvious downsides I have seen too much of in my own past relationships and my friends' failed marriages; the loss of "self", the loss of your free time. The constant nagging about your hobbies, ie. "you're gonna work on the car again? we're having dinner with Bob and Cindy tonight!!!" etc. I HATE having my balls busted...when a woman starts to nag me, I just want to pack my sh1t, hop in the truck and split for parts unknown.

I guess I should just buy a dog. Companionship without all the talking.

You act like a woman doesn't give up the same type things? When you live with someone you of course are going to give up some things. It is about compromise. If you are getting nagged about hobbies then either the woman is the wrong woman OR you aren't putting enough time into the relationship. You can't just ignore the relationship to do other things in your life.

Relationships only work if both people are willing to share and compromise. I haven't had to give up much of anything in my relationships. Things get scaled back but that is part of life.

Marriage is the most wonderful thing. You have two people, who love each other deeply, sharing their lives, hope and dreams with one another....

...of course, this only works when you marry the right person and work together to make it work!

I had a psych prof who has a good amt towards his psych phd that says that dr phil is a crock and the only reason for his popularity is the fact that he's got oprah exposure.

Yes, Dr. Phil is a crock. Certainly, Oprah did contribute in a major way to his career. Quite a bit of his advice is common-sense related. He just keeps people's attention with his accent and comments that people find funny. Actually, the best Dr. Phil moments are those that are created by Mad TV.

Only to the wrong woman.

Being that I did that, that is true.
