Sure, marriage may not be for everybody but a lot of the problem is people that are married fight over one of two things(or both): money and infidelity. Both of which often boil down to a lack of trust (Unless you are just plain poor--that can cause a lot of stress as well). If you trust your partner and are trustworthy yourself, you can work through most anything together. I have been with my wife for going on 10 years -- being married 3 of those years. These last 3 years have been the best of the last 10. You guys can knock marriage all you want, it won't change my feelings for my wife. Being married and having children are the greatest accomplishments in my life. Nothing (my education, my career, etc.) will ever come close to making me feel as whole as I do now.

I believe u are happy now......but u have to look further down the Track..
Kids become adolecent....bring problems home....they rebel and parents have no control over them.....
Before long the parents will be blaming each other......over issues like....
Why are they getting speeding fines.....why are they coming home at 3am...
where do they go at night....why are they smoking and drinking.

The parents forget that they should be on the same side,and they start blaming each other over their kids behaviour......


......

I am 25 years married, have four children, aged 21, 18, 14 and 9.

You on the other hand are talking pish.

Only in my experience like.

..regarding the other version of this saying, did it ever occur to you; they still keep coming.

You're obviously a bit crap at choosing who to marry

You're probably a bit crap at other things too. That's OK, it makes the rest of us look better

So basically you are making an excuse for yourself by pointing to the bad behavior of others.

The only thing you are saying is that you either don't feel you could trust anyone enough to commit to them, or that you cannot be trusted yourself. You are saying this using others because you don't want to accept responsibility for your own shortcomings.


That or you are just trying to wind up the springs of those of us that don't fit into your "glass half empty" view of marriage.

Sure some people bail out at the first scuff mark, how on earth does that reflect on how you behave?

your opening statement

but I'm not ready for an institution yet

would have sufficed. All the pointing to failed marriages is irrelevant to this and is as I said

more of an excuse than a reason.
