I\'ve been married for 12 years (On March 8th) to the greatest lady I could imagine.
I agree with Dave\'s comments. Very accurate. I know I\'m probably gonna get flamed for saying this, but the older you get the harder it is to find marriage and begin forming a family. If a couple\'s values coincide, and they both agree not to quit on each other they should get married and quit playing games. Once married a lot of hard work and maintenance is required to grow the marriage. In truth, I think this is the scariest part for some, in the West we have a culture of deferred childhood that teaches people to avoid responsibility, conflict and work. The prevailing attitude is \"just have fun\", or \"Look out for number one\". You can\'t have a truly meaningful romance until you make the other person number one. The happiest couples I know have been together since they were young before habits and routines become ingrained. I know one married couple in my church who just celebrated 60 years. They\'ve been married since their early 20\'s. You haven\'t had a candid chat about sex until you\'ve talked to someone who\'s been practicing for 6 decades.

You guys aren\'t helping lol(kidding
)It means you\'re terminally NOT being screwed, TBS.
It\'s all a bit contradictory, isn\'t it? I\'ve grown a very thick skin, and have joined the schmuck group, and all the decent women my age are taken. Therefore, no hope. Therefore, I\'m screwed, or about to be screwed, or.... wait, this isn\'t making any sense.
Ahhhh, maybe it\'s a cunning ploy! phiIologus removes all hope, and lizcam then states that \"no hope\" is the key. The pair of them must be in cahoots! Prepare to get lucky, all ye who enter here. lol

I didn\'t mean to depress anyone. My intent was to say that while marriage is hard work it\'s not really as complex as people would like to believe. And...there are plenty of exceptions to the age rule.

Thanks for the curse or vote of confidence, not sure really which one it was? ??? \'lol\'
Please don\'t misunderstand, marriage is wonderful and I have alot of respect and admiration for any couple who takes their vows seriously and makes it work. I was married 8 years, we were actually together over 10. Would I like to be married again, no doubt, but as it has been touched upon on here many people now just live for the moment and don\'t take commitment seriously. Face it, we live in the Walmart world where if something breaks or isnt quite right we rush right out and get a cheap replacement that will get us buy until we need something different. As a society our values have changed and not in a good way. What I was saying is that rather than live for the moment, I want something that will last the rest of my life. So far the search has not yielded anything and for the time being effort spent on bad relationships or bad dates with people who are not serious is effort better spent elsewhere.
Congrats to all the CMON\'ers who have found true love and are in stable committed relationships. There is someone for everyone and I am happy that you have found that person!lollol

All around then!!
@Braveheart; true statements. We are a convenience-driven society. In addition, I think people in general have trained themselves to \"date\" by constructing elaborate mating rituals around when sex will occur. In the past, the intent was long-term partnership (marriage) as a goal of dating. Many now are solely concerned with sex as a goal because all those dusty old social constructs are too gauche (and because of the deferred childhood mentality). Many still \"say\" they are looking for commitment but in the end are rarely seeking a mate. That\'s why I shudder at the overused term \"relationship\", because it has that long-term ring to it without actually meaning anything.

You didn\'t depress me, phil. I know people who\'ve been married for a long time and those whose marriages lasted a year. Also there\'s quite a spread of ages as to when they got married. One of my friends\' parents didn\'t meet until they were in their 30s, his father was 36. They had their son 5 years later. They\'re still together some 36 years later and still happy. So there\'s hope for me yet.

Luckily I look about ten years younger than I actually am, so I figure I have a few years left to serendipitiously meeting that mythical \"one.\" Unluckily, I\'m totally OCPD, so chances are I\'d walk away from my dream girl just because the meeting didn\'t happen the way I would have liked. lol
Not interested in looking right now anyway (curses be damned).
