Because nothing sucks more than being in a romantic relationship. Agreed.

Because nothing sucks more than being in a romantic relationship without having that person with you every day and night. I'd rather be single again than continue things as they are. I like certainty and stability as well. well said. clare and i have still got over a year to go till ours.

Hey guys, you don't have to get married to move in together. The more you know.

It has the possibility of being the worst thing ever for the individual. Having that romance and seeing it dissolve overtime is quite terrible. You can only do so much romantically for another person before it gets repetitive and dull. Attraction most likely will fade as well. Bickering will rise, arguments about money, sex, and power are inevitable.
I guess you guys have the upper hand because religion does create a stronger bond and lowers the chance of infidelity? I don't have any stats but whatever.

Hasn't been like that for my mum and dad, they've been growing more appreciative and loving each other even more over time (they're 56 or so).

Sounds like the tag line from a 1990's black romantic comedy

My wedding approaches. We are going so cheap on everything. I think the total cost of our wedding was somewhere around $6,000. We were blessed because Rachel's parents paid for the cost of the entire thing, minus her ring and my tux, which I paid for. Of course, the most expensive thing there was the food, catered by the golf resort that hosted the entire thing (we had the ceremony outside and then the reception inside). They charged around $36 a plate for food, plus $10 for silverware, plus $10 for each chair. So around $56 per person for food, at approximately 50 guests, it was around $2,800 for food alone. Granted, the food was fantastic enough to almost be worth it, but I'd recommend a place that doesn't charge so much if you can help it. With all the money that was paid, though, the resort did an absolutely wonderful job with everything. Oh, and congrats Scott and Jeepnut. I will say, don't stress about the wedding too much (and don't let your brides do it either). There's bound to be something that goes completely wrong before everything is finished. For example, before the rehearsal, I got locked out of my apartment for an hour, which prevented me from making the 1 hour drive down to Sedona to actually make it to the wedding. Also, during the "grand entrance", when the bridal party and the married couple enter the reception hall, my best man ran off to the grocery store about a mile away and didn't tell anyone where he was, leaving us to search for him for 10 minutes before finally giving up and just leaving him out of the whole thing. Then, when Rachel went to toss her bouquet, all of the girls just stood there; none of them wanted to catch it. Just try to enjoy the whole thing as much as you can, and ignore the little things that go wrong. After the whole thing is over, you'll quickly realize that the entire memory is a blur. Without photographs and videos, you'd never even be able to remember all the vows you said to each other. Holy crap, that's expensive food. I'm glad we just had a basic reception with just cake, some candies, and some home-made punch. XD Especially since there was well over 200 people at our wedding...

Sounds like the tag line from a 1990's black romantic comedy I'm serious, though. Being romantic isn't really about dinners and dancing and movies and gifts and whatnot, though there is certainly a place for those things. It's about small things you can do throughout the day that show love.

Being romantic isn't really about dinners and dancing and movies and gifts and whatnot, though there is certainly a place for those things. It's about small things you can do throughout the day that show love. I have a different point-of-view (shocking right). I do small things to make people less dissatisfied. It is relative to the person, but some things you do not out of love and that you care, but to avoid any dissatisfaction or strife. It's pretty much an unwritten rule. Example: Greeting my parents when I get home. I don't do it because I care about them, I do it to avoid problems. I take care of my s**t to avoid problems and arguments. This comes down to the argument about love again, and we've had this discussion before. And yes I care about my parents because of all they've done for me, but at the same time I don't love them. And once you start doing these little things out of "love", overtime the other person expects you to do them. Hence my point that you don't do things to satisfy them but to make them less dissatisfied. It has the possibility of being the worst thing ever for the individual. Having that romance and seeing it dissolve overtime is quite terrible. You can only do so much romantically for another person before it gets repetitive and dull.
