hear hear

we should protect as much as we can the legal union that creates new life and gives it the best way of success and happiness.

[Niamh.]

I agree with him

[Enid]

I don't get what the fuss is about.

I would not feel degraded if I was referred to as someone's partner instead of wife. Marriage is partnership.

I wouldn't feel degraded but I would prefer to be called wife than partner, I'd probably correct the person who called me partner (I sound like a cowboy)

marriage is also a compromise, would you like to be referred to as "the compromise"!

[Enid]

Now that's silly.

Partner, wife, other half. I would be okay with it all.

Usually said in jest.

Marriage is a partnership, and the term "partner" is usually used to refer to someone you're in a partnership with. Don't mind the term. Has to be better than what he usually calls me anyway.

(I'm kidding).

[Crimson Dynamo]

Usually partner is used when the couple are not married but have been going out for a while (and should get married)

[Lauren]

Usually, yeah - but I've seen it used when people are married too. I think it's exchangeable?

[arista]

Do not Get Married.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Do not Get Married.

that may need a bit extra info..

[Niamh.]

Do not Get Married.

Why not???

[Dr.Gonzo]

God damn you, arista! I've just bought a ring for my missus. Will the jeweller take it back? You should have told me this before.

[Lauren]

Do not Get Married.

Oh... okay then :bawling:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Living with someone has all the disadvantages of marriage and none of the advantages

Which disadvantages? I live with my partner and it's great.

why has he not proposed to you. have you been together over 6 months?

[30stone]

Just call every married woman "wench"

Get me a sandwich Wench!

[arsenalforever]

Wench is brillant Ben:joker:

why are women been so damn moany these days

[Enid]

why has he not proposed to you. have you been together over 6 months?
Stop being so traditional. 6 months is not nearly enough time to decide whether you want to marry. It's the 21st Century. Many people don't feel it's necessary to get married, myself included!

The situation you find yourself in is as old as marriage itself. there is nowt modern about it.

[Niamh.]

You would definately want to be with someone more than 6 months before deciding to marry them imo. I was with my husband 4 years before we got married

[Crimson Dynamo]

After 6 months you know. you may wait a bit longer but if after 6 months you dont know. its a no.

[Niamh.]

After 6 months you know. you may wait a bit longer but if after 6 months you dont know. its a no.

That's a good point actually but I guess for a lot of people having money and the time etc. to plan the wedding are factors too

[Dr.Gonzo]

WTF? I agree with you for a change. It's like shopping. I don't stand around scratching my chin for half an hour looking at stripy cardigans. If I want it, I know straight away and I will buy said Stripy cardigan and wear the **** out of it.

[andyman]

Wench!

The other one!

It!

Her!

That thing!

Daft moaning bint!

Fat bitch!

[Crimson Dynamo]

agreed.



standing in front of all the people you love and care for and making a public and legally binding commitment is the best thing you can do to ensure the longevity of a relationship.

There is nowt modern about you.

modern is not aspirational

This! I hate(well secretly love haha) bringing TT into everything. But Mark Owen was forever calling his fiancee,his partner,missus or wife. And it's like confuse us much! They're getting married next week thank feck,been together for about forever.

I hardly ever use the word partner actually.

[arista]

Which disadvantages? I live with my partner and it's great.


Yes Lauren is Most Wise.

[Niamh.]

I live with my husband and it's great :tongue:

You are Special.

[Lauren]

Well, we know. We can't yet anyway.

[Niamh.]

aawww, thanks :dance:

[WOMBAI]

I guess that is up to the woman in question - whether she prefers to be called - wife or partner. Not for some male judge to say!

This topic is about as serious as marrige itself these days.

You might, but 16 year olds engaged these days seem to be on the rise. It's ridiculous.

[Niamh.]

Don't you have to be 18 to get married? That's too young as well though

[InOne]

That is why I said engaged lol but they can marry with consent at 16 in the UK and can just marry at 16 in Scotland. But being tied down so young is stupid, especially with today's youth, shagging about all over the place.

There's no way i was ready for marriage at 16 or 18 for that matter

[Lauren]

I don't care about people getting married too early, because the only thing they're messing with is themselves. Whereas teenage pregnancy is bringing another life into the mess.

That being said, I think very few ARE ready for marriage at a young age (as in, 18... not 16) - but too many people see marriage as a way to save a flagging relationship.

I'm quite traditional with marriage, I think the vows SHOULD mean something, and it should be for life (though this is quite simplistic).

True but marrige and teenage pregnancy seem to go hand in hand these days.

[Lauren]

I disagree. I think teenage pregnancy comes hand in hand with irresponsible flings/short term relationships. I can't imagine many of the 14 year old chavvy guys trying to spread their seed have a chat up line of marriage lol.

I've only ever known one couple get married when still teenagers, and they were both responsible and ready for it and are still together now. So maybe I'm biased from experience!

Guess i'm talking about most of the chavs and what I meant to say is they get engaged and pretty much goes on and off from there. But people seem to declare love a lot younger these days.

I totally agree with you. Marriege means alot to me, I wouldn't have gotten married unless I was 100% sure about it.

[InOne]

Doubt I will ever get Married, don't really trust women lol

[Barbie]

I don't think i'd get married, everyone i know dreams of the white wedding and i just don't. Wife to me sounds a bit old fashioned, not sure why, maybe its because im young

[WOMBAI]

Never did get the whole white wedding thing. I never dreamed of a white wedding -never really gave it a thought - and am not aware of any of my friends doing so - we certainly never talked about it. Think this thing about girls dreaming of their wedding day is somewhat of a myth - romantic nonsense planted in girls - as something they should want most in life.
