For those who are married, or have been, or are about to become so, at what point in the relationship did you realize that marriage, to the person that you were with at the time, was what you wanted? What prompted the marriage? Pressure from the other person? A mutual desire to have a more legally binding relationship? A desire to get your parent(s) to stop hassling you?

This might require popcorn and table reservations.

That's not loaded or anything ;)

I have a deep belief in marriage; despite having one previously that I don't wish on anyone. I also believe marriage, like any relationship, takes a lot of work. I don't think either Plus1 or I felt pressure from the other (though I'll let him speak for himself ;) ) and it was just something we felt we *wanted* to do.

Good question.

I got a pretty good indication when she gave me the notarized document stating I was allowed to fart in bed.

It was either that or when she wrestled that moose with her bare hands.

In all seriousness, it was when I couldn't picture myself without her by my side. :-:

ETA - My advice on anything related to marriage should be taken with a pillar of salt.

Agree on both comments.

This is now a part of my litmus test. Also, cajuns need not apply. :-:

Also, if you harbor any serious doubts whether she accepts you for you (i.e., she doesn't view you as some sort of project that can be molded, or "improved"), I'd take a good, long think about that before entering into a binding legal agreement that's not exactly simple to undo.

Look at these low, low prices on famous brand-name electronics!
I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny.
The Carnavale features two-pronged wall plug, pre-molded hand grip well, durable outer casing to prevent fallapart...

I simply got to the point where I was brutally honest with myself about what I wanted. And then I found (through the INTERNETS) a woman who had gotten to the point where she was brutally honest with herself about what she wanted. We both wanted to meet the right person for us, get married, and (eventually) have a family. I agree with Belynch The Oracle down there in that I could not imagine my life without her. I wanted to make the commitment to her and she wanted to make that commitment to me as well. For me personally, this is what separates love from lust. Love seeks to give of itself for the other person's benefit, and that is truly how I feel about my wife. She's also hot. ;) :D

I remember crawling into bed (for actual sleep :p) one night when we were dating and when I bent over, there was a disturbance in the force. I looked up in horror, expecting her to be angry. She smiled, lifted a cheek, and let one fly. Since then, she has been the wind beneath my sheets. :-:

Wait, how many careers can you juggle? I thought you were trying to go to school to be a teacher, last week you said you would want to be an admin assistant, now the hotel industry?

If you think someone will change once you're married :D:D:D (unless it's for the worse of course ;) )
