Way to go Gyps! We need more girls thinking on lines similar to that of yours.

When do we meet up? :P

Alrite, honestly, there was a point in time after my marriage, I had thoughts echoing same sentiments. Whats with signing a piece of paper that makes me and my wife's relationship legal!??

We loved each other as much as we did before or after marriage and did same things at either sides of marriage again. She was still the same person to me the way she was a day or a week back, and so was I to her!

But it made sense to me after some time. Without giving a lengthy explanation, I guess marriage is all about being "committed to" and more or less to keep a control on the guy or the girl from going haywire. A person could perhaps go on a partner changing spree if you are not committed. A relationship might not even last a week if marriages don't exist. For how long could a person go on changing partners and keep discovering new partners twice, thrice or as many times a year?

I wouldn't really be keen to start all over again at the age of say 50 and learn life history of my partner and her preferences right from her childhood. Atleast I won't have to do that with my wife, with whom, I hope, I'd have spent 20 odd years of my life at the age of 50. But then she'd have seen ups and downs of my life and probably know me best by far. Likewise, I'd know how to treat her and be mentally in tune with her, which is best achieved by spending all those wonderful years with her.

Hope it makes sense!
