I'm not sure, though I figure I will eventually. My girlfriend and I aren't really concerned with marriage, just with each other. If it happens, it happens, but we're not hanging on the idea. As long as we're together, that's all that matters.

Yes.
Probably not a religious marriage since I am not religious, however if my partner wanted one then i'd probably go through with it.

I don't want to get a church-style marriage, as I'm a devout athiest.Varun Garuda Maharaj said:
I wouldn't have a problem with a city hall-style one though.
But yeah. I'd be fine with just not getting one either.
Living in Denmark, it's actually pretty common that couples just don't bother with that.
I'll vote on your poll once you differentiate between religious and athiest marriages
Don't think so! Skinheads can't live their life on a leach in any way.

Yes, I've been through my sex drugs and rock and roll stage and now I'm at the age where the thought of getting married and settling down is hanging around in the back of my mind...now I just have to get my "thing" for crazed party girls out of my head.
Oh yes, most definitely. Given, I'd want one a thousand miles away from the nearest church and minister, but I want to get married nonetheless. It's a beautiful ritual showing your love and commitment to friends and family.
The only roadblock is getting a girl, of course. That seems to be difficult...
Not that that matters to me, marriage isn't a logical thing. What I said above; to me it's a beautiful ritual to show friends and family how much you love each other and what kind of commitment you're making to each other.

Many countries still offer things like tax advantages and legal things that make life for a couple easier (except in the case of a divorce), so it's definitely not pointless.Steve5513 said:

Yeah I would like to and I hope that I would regret it if the outcome lead to a divorce which I end up hating her for taking all of my stuff.
If I do get married I do intend to have the marriage somewhere better then Townhall (my last two wedding was in there and it's so dull).

After witnessing how marriges can crash and burn and take down everyone else with it, I originally thought I'd never want to put myself through that.
However, on reflection, and after I started my relationship with my boyfriend I realised that if love is in a relationship the natural course of it is a deeper commitment. Both me and my BF think along those lines which is great.
I'm not prepared to just fall into the 'housewife' roll when I marry but I've witnessed marriges of mutral respect, love and co-operation and those are the marriges I would want to emulate. They also seem to be the one's that have weathered many storms.

I am married. Been married over a year now. I've been with him for 9 years, since we were sophomores in high school. We've been through the crucible (he went to college 3 states away from me) and came out just fine. I am very happy with him.
Marriage has its benefits. I get health care from his job for instance. The paper hasn't changed much of anything in our relationship that wouldn't have changed regardless. I would imagine it would be tough if there was a lot of external forces pressing on a couple. Without complete trust I don't think it could work.

My father likened marriage like this:
"Get all of your money and put it into a sack. Then, take it out to a bridge and throw it off. Then wail your head on the railing until you're about to pass out, then jump after the sack. There, I saved you forty years."

Marriage has enriched my life quite a bit. Then again, I found somebody who shared my interests, didn't want to have children, and is so compatible with me on everything ranging from favorite food to sex drive that I feel truly blessed. A bad marriage can be Hell but a good marriage can be Haven.
Theoretically, there could be a person out there whom I would never tire if, and would enjoy spending the rest of my life with. If there is, then very well, I would marry, but in all honesty I think it is rather unlikely that I will meet them - or that they even exist.
