Is Marriage for you?

MsTinkerbelly · 09-20-2015, 12:37 AM

My kasey and I were together for 2 months before she asked me to marry her...we were engaged on Christmas Eve 2002.

We had a Domestic partnership, as that was all that was available to us at the time...and I have to say we had our ups and downs (and even a brief break-up), but we have worked hard to make a very happy life together. We were married in July 2008 during the "summer of love", when marriage was legal for a short time here in California.

My Grandparents knew each other around 6 weeks before they married, had 5 children, and were married for 60 years when he passed away. I have friends that are a same-sex couple, have been together 22 years, will NOT get married, and have a committed relationship that is a joy to watch.

Married, unmarried, know you 12 years, met you two days ago....the only common thing that successful couples have, is the stubborn determination to stick it out no matter what.

Some people need the paper, but a lot of people don't. Whatever makes everyone happy.
