I moved to a rural town and it never ceases to amaze me how young everybody getting married out here is. You graduate highschool, get married within a year and start dropping out kids. One of my sister's friends is seriously contemplating turning down a full-ride scholarship because her boyfriend doesn't want her to go. Oddly enough, spousal abuse is very high out here too...

Favila, it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and will make a great husband some day. But you're right, don't be in a rush to marry. It's too messy and complicated to get un-married if it doesn't work out.

Whatever
Maybe for you that is life's purpose. But for others, it's not. We humans have many different higher purposes in life. Some have kids, others make society better, or any number of reasons.
I wouldn't advocate someone to have kids if they're not best suited for them. That doesn't do the kids any justice. Nor would I advocate that we should have only one higher purpose in life. That's a little narrow-minded to other purposes that may exist.
Different strokes for different folks.

I don't visit Casinos, but if I did I don't think I would shove 50-65% of everything I owned across the table on a bet with a 50% chance of losing.
If you have a good relationship don't complicate things with marriage unless you want children or feel you must observe some requirement of religion. If either party feels that the promise of another is not trustworthy, a paper contract will not make it so.
Marriage can be great or a living hell. Find someone who is mature and compatible and spend a great deal of time with them before making what should be a lifelong choice. With the right person you will both be rewarded for your efforts, with the wrong choice the pain can be extensive.

Now Skyhigh, there you go with your negativity again. Being single does NOT mean that you are lonely! There is nothing more lonely than being in a bad marriage! I am enjoying being single again! I can surround myself with friends or family, do what I want when I want, hop on a plane and take off anytime I want. That's not to say that I won't marry again someday. I might further on down the road. Never say never, but it's not a goal of mine.

well put. I'm not entirely convinced that men and women CAN live together happily. Two ENTIRELY differnet animals. The wiring is opposite in many ways.
