alright, here's the deal. i am not getting married anytime soon, it scares the shit out of me. but i want some opinions because i am feeling torn on the subject, as usual. if you are skittish about marriage in general, do not watch the movie "heartburn", though it has some great acting.

1 based upon the fact im over 35 and not married yet.
2 none, preferably that way your least inclined to compare (unless true love comes along then you probably won't).
3 yes? can't get fewer than none, but it still seemed the better answer.
4 i know of several people that have lived together only to change once marriage happened. It's like well we better keep each other interested else the other will up and leave. Hhowever once married, not so easy to leave. (cynical aren't i?).
5 no im not married yet.
6 yes i would like to, for the right reason: namely LOVE.
7 Yes my parents last year celebrated 50 years together.

living together is not necessarily an exact "science," because things dochange after you're married, but it gives you a good idea if you can even stand to live in the same house as this person (lol). for me it was a big deal that i knew that i could live peacefully with magpiegeese because there aren't many people i can live comfortably with.

i was 22 when we got married, but had been through a lot of shite already, but i would counsel waiting for a while, even though it worked out for us. but we've had our share of crap, believe me. {grin}
