marraige is like a dessert ,one who eats it regrets it(not includes everyone),and one who does not eat this dessert is very courious.

it's a Serious & logical Question ... cool.png

for me marriage is setting with my wife on a sofa after a long working day to drink Tea or coffee and discussing our future and our Kids' future ... as a scene par.png

it's very very important to me to have an educated women can understand me and sharing our vision:cheers: ... marriage it's not just a bed relationship it's very deep and a permanent kiss.png

I'm Still single and it's my view point

Explain marriage??

heap of compromises baby !!

scottyq8

Ok guys feeling must reply to this one.

This year is my 25th wedding anniversary!!!! You get less for murder lol.

What is marriage? well marriage is compromise, marriage is togetherness, marriage is hard but marriage is well it just IS.

My wife started as a person I was attracted too, then a person who was a lover, we fell in love,  then a wife and before very long my life, my right hand but more than anything my friend and soul mate.

Yes we live apart as she is still in UK but we speak everyday and we know that we have to work at our togetherness but after so loooooooooonng no matter what we will always care deeply for each other.

Its not easy to descibe, we have 3 wonderful daughters who make us proud every single day but its not a picnin theres forgiveness, anger sometimes understanding others but it is sharing, sharing and enjoying / living every moment good or bad.

With the right person its the right thing

LOL hope that helps

I'm really looking for something like that .... this is the real marriage in my view point ... God bless you and your family gloria.png

Moo

Simply we get married to have a baby smile.png

adnankiani

Thanks for your lovely reply @ scottyq8.
Everyone loves to have such married life @ Vox

adnankiani

Just now i received a message on my Watsapp from a contact would like to share with you and wants to get your opinion about it smile.png
When u r wrong and u surrender; u r honest
when u r in doubt and u surrender; u r wise
but
when u r right and still you surrender; then u r a "HUSBAND"

lol, theres alot of negativity about marriage for some reason, and it appears as tho you are endorsing it adnankiani tongue.png

i walked into a shop the other day and they had a plaque on the wall that read "the great thing about marriage is being with that special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life"

so i dont blame you, i blame the media.

and as some said, marriage is not about babies, coz u dont need a license to do that!

in its essence, marriage is the joyous amalgamation of two people who foreswear all others for each other, you commit to that one person who is the world to you, and you are the world ot them, and you become one.

there is nothing wrong with marriage, some people are ready for it, some people are not, some people seek it, some people do not. in the end, only you will know when you are ready.

i wonder if this is research for a book or something? tongue.png

adnankiani

Thanks legacy for sharing your thoughts and you are absolutely rite.
i added that message as a joke only smile.png

lara_q8

Marriage is a physical and mental bonding of two and it all goes hand in hand as long as there is love,understanding, compromises, respect between each other.
Ur Spouse would be someone who is there to share ur happiness, joy, sadness and anything that come across.. and as long as that bonding is there, its always a happy married life..
Kids are the true outputs of such a bonding and i would say that a married life becomes complete with them.

What a wonderful post Legacy!!!

Marriage is what you make it!! Trust me i have done it twice!!!!
I just love your explanation!

My husband is my lover, my soul mate, my best friend! Someone I can cry with and someone that I can laugh with. Someone that I know will never let me down. We have a beautiful Son together and he is also a wonderful Step-Father to my two other children. Both of us have our faults (who doesnt?), but hopefully our good points make up for it!!

As I wife I strive to be all those things to him also. Is marriage easy? No not always, but the good times outweigh the bad and I am very proud to be his wife!

I love those last two lines smile.png

make it 6,,

today i received another joke about husband and wife, would like to share with you smile.png
A husband was throwing knives on his wife's photo, while she was out of station. But none of the knives were hitting the photo! Suddenly wife called up, "hi honey, what are you doing?"
Husband replied, " I'm missing you!" smile.png

I grew up in the country where marriage is a lifelong commitment..Vowed to be together " till death do us part".
Of course all of us here would like to have a successfull marriage life..when we are young we are very idealistic about marriage.When you end up in a bad marriage you dont know how to get out of it..So before you marry, be sure you are ready to be with this person for the rest of your life...

very well said..i wish there are more men out there like you!

Every one will speak from his/her experience of marriage, so impossible to have an answer, which implies the question is rather childish.

Marriage to me is commitment, once you take on the path, you should make all your efforts to make it work.

Cheers

yes you are rite, everyone will speak from oneself experience...not about only marriage but any topic.

a question one asks could be meaningful for him, but for others it could be childish or useless. its about any question someone asks to anyone smile.png

it might be childish for you bro, but its meaningful for me and many others big_smile.png

simple.... like everything in life .... you get out what you put in and make it what you want.

I am married, although I never thought I would, don't want kids so that isn't the reason and sometimes mull this over, for some it will give direction, stability, caring and sharing. For others financial gain, two heads are better than one, kids etc.

It is up to you .... your in charge of your life and we're all individuals!

P.s. Scottyq8 i'm thinkin you wrote that when you hadn't been home for a while big_smile.png
