Lightbulb Marriage

Do you want to get married someday? Or do you think marriage is a failed institution?

"If you want to find stable two-parent families, bypass Palin country and go to Pelosi territory ... The country's lowest divorce rate belongs to none other than Massachusetts, the original home of same-sex marriage ... States that voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in both 2004 and 2008 boast lower average rates of divorce and teenage childbirth than do states that voted for the Republican in both elections. (That is using family data for 2006 and 2007, the latest available.) ... To define the divide in a sentence: In red America, families form adults; in blue America, adults form families."
Source: Jonathan Rauch. "Do 'Family Values' Weaken Families?" NationalJournal.com. 5/01/2010.

Do you think it's silly for an atheist to want to get married?

Nope not at all. Tf someone wants to get married then that should be their decision, religion/beliefs shouldn't be a part of it all IMHO.

I don't want to get married, to me, marriage is just a bunch of papers and a ring. I can love someone without that

I think I will get married some day. I don't have an issue with monogamy at all. Its having children that can essentially take your freedom away. Thats something I don't plan on doing until later in life, once I'm satisfied that I've had my fill of life's exploration. Having kids any sooner than that is just wrong, because you'll find yourself trying to live through your kids... making your kids do the things you wish you would have been able to do.

Another one?! You giving birth to threads or something?

I'd love to get married one day, to the perfect guy. No kids, though. I don't really wanna become a dad.
