I think I can safely say that standing listening to my mate being bollocked by his wife was the most embarrassing moment of my life , I can only Imagine what it is like for him.

  Having undesirable credentials unexpectedly awarded to you when none were considered appropriate or required are the direct result of your relationship being held under the umbrella of an old outdated ceremony called wedlock.

            Thats why it don't work ,--its the direct  cause  of more problems that it supposedly cures or avoids.

 I am a believer that true monogamy needs no such rules of man only that of mans (or womans) instinct itself.

    So many men live lifes of (what I would call hell) and being held in unfair check by sideways looks from Evil mother in laws hand ringing lawers.

    With old age ever looming and ever more money required by the Family, the man will work till the last breath of his body is  converted into cash for high heels and Guchie bags.

    I hate kids ,---I look at then in disgust as they run around ---what ever, just playing the parents patience learning  "cause and effect".

   Not with my life kiddo.   And the smell of babies is enough to make me puke along with female admiration of small bootie things and silly  blue hats  with ears on that I assume are meant to give the  boy his first lesson in humiliation.

   A boat was thought to have been invented my man wanting to passover a stretch of water to a remote place and  hunt.   I strongly suspect their may have been another reason.

    Boats , motorcycles, camping, all the result of nagging women.

     Ive never been a conformist!!

I would offer a different perspective. There are as many unhappy/abused/battered woman as there are unhappy men in marriage bondage. One must wonder then; is it the institution? Or is it the frailty of the species?

happily married for 37 years.

marriage bondage ,--now thats a good word.

   Especially the bondage bit, thats the word alright. Any one anything will revolt put in bondage.

    Marriage,-- a ceremony in a church intended to instill the fear or rath of God if promiscuity should begin to separate the two.

     Do you find that you need this then?.

    Happily un- married 21 years. I feel I dont need to mutter mumbo jumbo in front of an alter.

     When love has gone my marraige is over,   She calls  a taxi and I get in it.   You call a lawer  and yours turns into hell.

    Yet I intend to be with her till my death.   

    I am doing what I want , you are doing what you have to.

Well, Br. Clampo, I will agree to disagree because I will, God willing, celebrate 42 years of marriage this September!  Nonetheless, here's some humor for you and those who follow your tune: "Marriage is a wonderful institution; ask anyone who's been in an institution; he'll tell you!"

As always, please give my best regards to the lovely Miss Vera!
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

Keep the shiny side up, the boots on the pegs and best REgards,

I got married the last time in Las Vegas, so whose wrath should I fear?

When my first wife (married in Reno) and I fell out of "love" we got divorced, that is the right thing to do right? My second wife and I were separated 13 years ago after just 2 years of marriage. Today we couldn't be happier.

I now believe I can feel love by acting lovingly. Amazingly changing my attitude and actions changed how she behaved. I think too many marriages end because of selfishness and people being completely self involved. "I don't feel what the TV tells me I should feel, so I am moving on." That does not apply when abuse is involved, but too often it is just boredom. I have known a number of people who were very happy in arranged marriages.

For me marriage is work and well worth it. I don't expect my bike to keep running without attention and work, nor will my marriage.

don't be such a negative nancy!  ;D

Marriage takes work, and now as women become more and more equal, the reasons of marriage have become even more complicated.  I still think the fact that women can get pregnant and men can't means that the balance of need/want/desire never has and never will be equal.  I always felt marriage is a safety net for women AND men that desire children.  With no marriage, the laws can't do much if your significant other suddenly decides they don't 'feel like doing this anymore' and takes off, leaving you to take care of children and left over shared bills.

Sure not everyone wants children.  But if everyone thought that way then we wouldn't exist much longer.  If you don't want marriage or family I'm sure there are plenty of women that feel the same and will amuse you.  Nothin wrong with that!  But why shit on everyone who's quite happy with their children and spouse?  hmmm

and remember... married men live longer than single men, married women however, live shorter lives than there single sisters.

I personally can't wait to have a family.  But I haven't met anyone as equally crazy yet.  ;)

Equal ....most think that means being the "same." Not so.

There is very little the" same" between men and women.

The roles of  men and a women in marrage are not the same, but EQUAULY important.

Folks run into problems fast when they try to be the same , or assume the other thinks the same way.

 Not sure about the "work part " I've been married 25 yrs. and not sure about having to work at it , at least it doesn'nt seem that way. It all comes natural with the right person. Am I just lucky?

It took three wives for me to find what I was looking for, I couldn't be happier. And I got a hell of a good son along the way to finding  a good life.
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

Bug Catcher, do married men really live longer than single men. I've been married three times. Do you think I've got an even longer life expectancy.   ERC
