Do you plan on getting married in the future?

I'd love to get married because I'd love to have kids, and I'd love for my kids to have a father figure, so artificial insemination is out of the question.

Yeah if we are planning on having children I like the idea ofboth the parents and the children to have the same last name to unite them... A bit old fashioned I know :P

I don't understand why any male wants to get married in modern day society when there is so much risk and little protection.

We get a lot of clients at work who want to hide their assets/investments from their partner and will go to great lengths in order to do so, it's quite funny really.

Presumably nowadays though, women are actually more likely to have their own career and earnings than in the past?

It's generally still the woman that earns less and thus is the logical one to put the career progression and earning potential on the back burner when they, as a couple, decide to have children. I.e. her that needs the protection of marriage due to sacrificing her own earning potential in order to be able to make it in time for school pick-up and so on. Generally the lower earner is not earning enough for paid childcare to make all that much sense financially, so someone has to slow it down a bit to allow the other's career to continue unaffected/progress. Obviously this is sometimes the father now. Whoever it is, they would generally be far more ****ed in the event of a break-up were they not married to their partner.


I'm getting married this year, most likely by/in the autumn. We don't think we'll be having a wedding though.

She must be a person of faith. She must be from the same ethnic group as me. It would be nice if she had a decent family background without any major red flags. She must be a virgin, she can't have had any previous boyfriends, never been touched or kissed by any other men previously. So she needs to be pure and untainted.

It's an outdated, Christian ceremony that binds you legally and financially to one another.

No thank you.

At this moment in time, I wouldn't really want to get married. Although, if I was to find the right person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with, I would definitely consider it.
I feel as though, If there's someone I truly love, marriage wouldn't really be required.

No no no, hell no! 😎

Is it a christian ceremony anyway when people are getting married without doing that in a church? can a civil marriage be regarded as Christian?
