    I was engaged 7 times and after the 7th time ... I decided to forget about it. Marriage is highly overrated ...

    Living with mate brings up every issue.
    If, and only if, we learn how to listen, communicate well and solve each problem as it arises, conflict ends up helping us know and love each other better.
    In this way, the relationship gives us the chance to grow in maturity.
    What we avoid, we never learn.

    Because I am selfish and I dont want to share the woman that I am in love with with any other man.

    Because miracles ******* happen and dreams come true! And some ppl are matured enough to work through their problems.
    40% of college freshman don't ever graduate within six years....so why go to college?

    Because sometimes hoping for an ideal is all we have.The ideal of meeting your soulmate and being together for the rest of your lives is a beautiful wish.Just because it usually doesn't happen, because who you married turned out to be a sociopath isnt the point.At least you strove for an ideal.It is better to strive for the stars :-)

    Lol, I guess some people like the idea of being chained to someone. Those are our real sadists and masochists.

    Our human romantic hearts fill us with the desire and convince us it will all have a happy ending.... If only they made it as tedious and difficult to get married as it is to get divorced I think there would be way more thought and emotional investment put into marriage...and maybe divorce rates would go down!!

    Because, when people are in this delusion they believe that they are the special pair that beats the odd? How very sad it is.
