    Hi guys, I need some serious input here. I need a list of Plus points for getting married. Here is my list: -making kids -having someone to care for -having someone care for you -tax exemptions -good company Does anyone else dare to add? (no negative points please - that would be too easy) Thanks.

    'Making kids' point looks problematic for me. First, you don't have to be married if you want to make kids. Second - is making kids a plus? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

        Besides the tax stuff you can get all other without getting married. Plus - It's easier to pickup women if you have a ring on your finger. (wonder if that is true:~ ) /Magnus

It's easier to get a woman's attention if you're with another women but not married, because if the other women can trust/be comfortable around you then surely she can, right? And, there's ego/competition/jealously that factor into this as well. Now, there are plenty of women who don't care about this, but those are the ones you use and loose and not get serious with.

                                  If you can't convince yourself to get married, then do her a favor: break up with her and let her get on with her life. It's obvious that she wants to get married, and if you won't give that to her, let her find someone who will. Jon Sagara Red Swingline Staplers

                                        if u have a loving relationship, you could use marriage to solidfy it: 1- who will care for you 30 years from now? when u loose ur looks or money? 2- if u have a fight with ur g/f, being married is another reason to reconciliate 3- divorcing is not easier than breaking up. meaning that when u get married u you would ( or at least should) be less receptive to negative ideas of leaving/cheating ./....etc it amazes me why ppl wouldn't get married, but i guess my culture is different my parents got married at the age of 20, so and my wife and I we were all undergrads at our marraige time in US and canada and we are doing great,
