    Relatives have been. I've seen the pictures they took and was surprised at how the city was.
    I do plan on going there one day...Not sure when mind you.

    I understand everything you've been saying and why you don't believe in marriage and all that.
    but, you've never been married, right? So, how can you really judge it? It works for some people, it doesn't for others.

    A peice of paper isn't going to make two people last, or prove you're in love. But if you are in love. Why not?

    if you're so strongly in love, i'm sure it wont matter if youre legally together or not. It's just a choice. So if you choose to, great, it's not stupid or pointless, its a choice. If not, great too.

    you're right, I've never been married.. but in committed relationships and I figure.. it's the same without the paperwork, really. I mean it would be to me, anyways.

    of course it's a choice and I'm definitely not judging people who choose to get married.. I would.. but don't necessarily care to, is my main point.

    yeah, that's cool. I'm just saying since you've never been married, that's why maybe it seems no different from just being in a committed relationship.

    I wana get married, but the man is way more important then the papers.

    i was once married.. never even loved the boy. took longer to get divorced than our whole marriage had lasted.

    it wasn't worth it. i don't think i'll ever marry again, unless it's to one person that i know for a fact would love me forever.. but that'll never happen.

    That's what they all say. :)

    It used to be more than 50% of marriages ended up in divorce.

    While divorce rates have gone down, so has the marriage rate.

    I have never been married, so I have no experience in it...

    But I will say that I don't think I will get married, as the idea already makes me break out in a sweat...
    But who knows, maybe one day that will change, since we all change some as we get older... But as of now, a negatory on marriage...

    I dont believe in true everlasting love.
    But I believe in mutual understanding , respect and similar goals and interests.
    Thats what I am gonna base my marriage on.

    True everlasting love does exist. And it can be combined with mutal understanding, respect, etc for an unbeatable relationship and life.

    I've been in long term committed relationships (I lived with someone for 5 years) and I'm married now. To me, it's not the same.

    I dont know...I've never been in love. Perhaps it will come some day...I am still young.
    If not, thats okay. Even better maybe.

    Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been a couple since the 80's, had a son and have never gotten married.
    Look at how many hollywood 'stars' divorce within a couple of years.

    The reason why Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis didn't get married. Johnny Depp said "he'd marry her in a second" but Vanessa changed her mind at the last second about their marriage just because she was afraid that it would damage their relationship. And it wouldn't have to, but as soon as you're doubting it.. I guess you shouldn't get married then, because, as soon as you see it as something.. I don't know, something.. that's gonna make you feel pressure in some sort of way, you shouldn't do it.
