no a load of fear written by men who are aging and who hate their age peer wives because looking into their wrinkled faces and at their sagging bodies reminds them of their own mortality.

LOL, I noticed that, too. I think it is good that my husband is experiencing chronic/aging related pain early because he's got to realize that is part of life. Trading me in for someone younger won't change the fact that he is on the fast track to geezerhood himself. May as well have a sense of humor about it with *me*, the person he can best reminisce about 'the good old days' with!

If you go in with a prenup and an escape plan, you might as well save the time and money and not marry.

Find the right one, do the hard, painful, necessary work to make the marriage keep working. Don't snivel on the boards about how it's all her fault.

Agreed. I've always been of the opinion that if you need a prenup, you shouldn't get married. Nobody can tell the future, but if you're going in already putting half of your net worth above the future of your marriage, you can rest assured that your odds of making it work are remote.

Aside from all the over-emotional responses from the nerdo's, this does seem to be the direction America heading. Less and less marriages are successful and women are becoming more and more deceitful. Just look at the shows people watch today; Desperate Housewives and Sex in the City.

I can tell you from personal experience that I know a tremendous amount of parents that are divorced and/or have had thoughts of divorcing their partner.

I disagree, it's better to have a prenup in place and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

I've paid dearly for my divorce Brooks, I'll probably never get to retire and will drop dead
on the job.How I wish I'd had better legal help and advice years ago.

LIIIIIINK!!!

Check out the conversation under "What your future wife will be thinking a few years after you have children". If it's true... christ those are some nasty women.

LoL. I like the "Only Marry Foreign Women" page. And for the most part, it true. I need to start traveling

That gives me hope.

My parents are proof to me that marriage doesn't last. They split after 15 years. I'm not sure who's to blame.

People jump into marriage too quickly. I would have to know/date someone for many years before I commit myself to something like that.

Exactly. If you find a "woman who is never satisfied" (and I'm not talking about the bedroom), then she is just going to be with you to use you, and chew you up and spit you out, until she moves on to her next "victim". Most of the women like this are even blissfully unaware of what they are doing, they consider it "normal". They are also often deceptively crafty about how they go about manipulating men. Beware those types of women.

Ok, assume that you will end up divorced and won't see your kids and lose half of your assets, how different is that from being married?

I can relate to that. My friend is from a divorced family. She's rarely sees her dad. Like 5 times a year at most.

A couple of my relatives aren't actually married, but have been living together with their significant others for 20+ years. Seems to work out just fine for them.

No children though, but thats the way I'm headed.

Take a look at grandparents in general... senior couples tend to stay happily married after 30+ years of marriage, whereas nowadays 2/3 of the marriages end in divorce in America before their 20th anniversary. Why's that?

Sadly, but truely, the women of today's society just isn't the as the women of the 1950s. I know, who am I to speak of how women are back in the 50s when I wasn't even born yet. Like I said, take a look at your grandparents. Women in today's society demand equality, yet 99% of the marriage and divorce laws favor women. How's that for equality... And its only the western women who have that mentality. My friends who are here on visas from asia behave differently and have different mentality than my asian/american friends who have lived here all their life.

IMO, there's no point in getting married. Nothing. Nada, zilch, zip! Other than being in a contract, give me one good reason why marriage is beneficial to a guy?
