Marriage follow up

I just noticed I didn't mention the wife in my description of marriage. In that case, drop the upfront payment and the white dress, and that would fill a current vacuum in my life....

Perhaps, I'll keep the dress. It's, err, for my sister.

Marriage

I've got to say it. It's my new motif on marriage, that was inspired by my friend's open disgust towards it.

Marriage : It's only appropriate when it's superfluous, redundant....

In other words, if you think it's a good idea, then it's probably not a good idea.

Please don't give me all that crap about "public declaration of commitment," or "confirming between ourselves our devotion" or "sharing our love with others."

If your relationship really requires that sort of action, if you think to yourself "things will be different when we're married", or "we're going to be so much happier when we're married," then perhaps you should ask yourself this simple question?

What's missing in your relationship right now?

What vacuum in your current life do you imagine will be filled via a $30,000 payment, a white dress, a cake, 150 drunk friends and family and a shag-fest holiday?

A general surgeon's post about the dangers of commitment to your health. Remember: marriage is institution, and no one sane wants to be institutionalised.

We all put off our own happiness until later in life. When I have the car, the husband, the wife, the kids, the house, the job, the income, the financial security, THE WEDDING.......then I'll be happy.

What is wrong with being happy right now?
