Well I’m getting married on the 3rd of November 2007 to my beautiful Catherine.
Now…. I have never really considered what the world thinks about the concept of marriage! So I now pose the question to anyone who is interested; what do you think of marriage?

Marriage is hard and i think that alot of people avoid it because of it's difficuities, not to mention a growing fear of commitment!
Ok, i believe your right about marriage being hard but i truly believe that it's worth it. I believe that marriage is worth all the strain and all the hard work, so that at the end of the day there is a strong relationship that has been developed.
Again you're right about our culture today being frightened of commitment and i would admit that commitment is scary but i feel no fear of commitment with Catherine because i know she is the right one for me. Maybe people are only scared because they believe that there's something better out there and if they get into wedlock then they can't jump into the better relationship, if it ever came along....
Dan
I want to marry you no fair!
Ha! Well, i think that Madi would have something to say with that!
Hmmmm I don't know how I feel about marriage... kind of a ridiculous investment eh?....
HAHAHA no no I (the fiancee of the webpage owner... as far as I can remember) do believe in marriage and think it's a wonderful thing!
Oh and stever. Can't have the boy. Sorry... if desperate I might be willing to "rent" him out once and a while. But you have to come to England to get him. hah!
Just wondering how you determine whether said person is right/wrong for you?
Ok, well i don't know who "said" person is but i think that if you can have truely onest relationship with the women you love and you are never to be scared of being yourself, then i think that is a good start.
I think they mean how do you know whether a certain person is the person you should marry...
Is it enough to say that you'll know when the person is right? Part of me says that is probably the last thing people want to hear... but I think it's true. Wait and see.
Wait and see is kind of a risky way to look at marriage. I am sure that there are people who just know after a certain amount of time. Also, never being scared of being yourself around the person is an excellent place to start but not even close to everything that needs to be discussed and figured out. I think that it is important when in a relationship to bring yourself out of your comfort zone and be in situations that test the very grounds that your relationship stands on. If you just living through comfortable times when everyone emotional/physically secure, how is it possible to know just how strong your relationship is?
It rocks my socks. Being married brings great joy and great challenge, both of which are important in life. People don't want to get married cos they fear intimacy, and marriage is the truest human form of intimacy.
Wow, i'm loving this interaction... well i would completely agree that a 'wait and see' attitude is a dodgy way to look at it!
I also agree that being 'yourself’ around people, still isn't the final straw on this subject. However, i would argue that it's a great start.
Now, down to what i believe. I think that Mr/Mrs Anonymous is correct about the need to know your spouse’s or even your partners 'darkest side'... to be put in hard situations with them and also to stand the test of time together.
What do you think?
"Mawiage is a dweam wifin a dweam, where love truw love will nevew die"...thank you Princess Bride.
what do you believe marriage is? what is it about marriage that attracts you? how has you relationship with your parents influenced your decision to marry at such a young age? why do you feel that getting married is so important, right now? if you don't get married now, do you think you will be missing out on something? Have you and "your Catherine" talked about where you see yourselves in 5 years?
Ok, first things first... who am i talking to? When i know this then there will be a fair discussion grounds between us.. so first of all, your name! Then i will be more than happy to answer every one of your questions, one-by-one...
Thank you
Dan loves you Dan, and will be more than willing to share even more over a beer, or a fine coffee, here in the Steve.
You are loved, as are you, Catherine.
When I met Mike I didn't consider what we would do in 5 years time or where we wanted to be or what we wanted to do. I think these are great ideas. People used to ask us at the age of 18, "do you think you can live together?" All I knew was that I couldn't live without him. Everyday away from him was painful and slow. We had to marry or we wouldn't survive. Obviously only time will tell if this was the right decision!
I have another point and that is that people say marriage is hard. Yes, everything is hard when you have to stick at it but it's not supposed to be hard 24/7. It should be good too. The good times outweigh the bad. The good times get you through the tough times. So when people say marriage is hard I say yes and good!
Thank you Mrs Frye! You're a lovely woman... and your words of encouragement and wisdom will help guide me for many years to come.
