I honestly think I'm leading approximately the nut life right now. I sometimes imagine what it would be like to be jetting around the world playing poker, or being a famous rapper (with lots of groupies obv), but I can't believe I would be any happier than I am right now.
(I got married last year and have a 10 month old and a 3 year old with my wife)

Met my girlfriend in 1992 in an incredible chain of events that meant we were destined to be together. Head over heels I proposed the following year. Almost 20yrs later we still haven't got round to tying the knot. No point rushing into anything.
This has made me think of the chain of events that get any couple together. You could go back years to start the chain. Incredible. |

Even though I used to love being single and chasing girls, I'm so glad that part of my life is (hopefully) over. I go out with some of my single mates and there is just a real sense of desperation in the air sometimes. I love being married, it worries me when you see so many stats flying around about how many end in divorce, but my parents managed to stick together till the end so those are the footsteps I aim to follow.
One of the problems these days is people think they have a god given right to be happy 24/7 and probably don't want to do the work to make something last.
Of course I've only been married six months (But with er indoors for nearly 8 years) - so take my wisdom with a pinch of salt.

if you find your life long partner do you feel it makes any difference in getting married?
is it such a big thing? my gf wants to get married before we start having kids.
maybe a super long engagement FTW

....On another small note, with x billion people in this world, what is the chance that you happen to live down the road from one of your soul mates....? (assuming you have more than one/billion people)

It's a big thing if you don't want to do it and she does. |

I am not 100% either way of the argument, I got married to allow our lass to work in the country and become British (she is American). But it would have been something we did a year or two later anyways and defo before having kids. Where as I don't think being a 'Bastard' is a slur in the true sense of the meaning I know my wife was reluctant to tell me her parents were not married when she was born (FFS who was in san fran in the 70's?!). It made me a little sad that people could still perceive this to be a bad thing. If you are thinking of sending your kids to a Catholic School I know for a fact they prefer the parents married and blessed in a catholic church. |

I love being married (1 and a bit years) and have a 3 week old girl who is magical to me.
The thought of entering the dating game again makes me shudder.

I met SaraM in 1996. She was going out with a lad I knew at college who I didn't think deserved her so I made a mission of taking her away from him We married in 2002, have two fantastic children (Charlotte 12 and Joe 6). We've had maybe 2 proper arguments in 16 years. Both times I was wrong and realised it 5 mins in to it. That's not to say there hasn't been ups and downs, but we've worked through them. I can honestly say it's even better now than the 'honeymoon period' it is possible to be with someone long term, or even life-long and it not be "settling." |
