I think part of the problem is people rushing into marriage. It's like people are thinking, well , we've been together for a couple of years now, maybe we should really think about getting married. Why? I'm going to do what my cousin did. My cousin has been married to his wife for about three years now. They were together for 10 years before they got married. He simply put his foot down and said that he wasn't getting married till he knew he was ready. They lived together for I think about 8 or 9 years before they got married, so they really got to know each others personalities and got to know what the other person was really like. My cousin is a very respectful, responsible man and his wife is a strong willed, independent woman. They are a wonderful match for each other, but they made sure they did it their way. They blew off any pressure and decided to get married when they wanted to. That's what needs to happen. Some couples need to spend more time unmarried and just be together until they really get to know each other and then decide if they even want to get married. Maybe they may not because things are working pretty good the way they are.

I've been with my girlfriend for just about 4 years now. And i mean sure we've talked about marriage, but we also discussed that we aren't going to do it until were both good and ready. Who knows how long it will be. All i know is there is this one girl who i knew from highschool and she just graduated. My girlfriend and I saw her on the college campus one day and she told us she got married. Now she was dating this guy for a while, but it just took me by shock. She didn't seem like the type to run off and get married so quick. She didn't even have a ceremony she just signed papers at the court house. Her husband is working for her dad too. It just seemed like she was throwing her life at away. After we got done talking to her, I turned to my girlfriend and told her "WE ARE NOT DOING THAT!" She told me that she didn't want to rush into things like that either. I'm so glad were both on the same page. But i definitely understand what your saying QueenKelly.

Wise words, Zack! Too many people seem to rush into marriage. Luckily where I live its the opposite, everybody is determined never to get married!
