But I'm really not happy about the idea of getting married myself. It's selfish but I don't think I would ever want to promise to love something no matter what (specifically the "in sickness and in health" line) because I just don't think I can commit to that.

Do you think you'd change your mind if you theoretically found 'the one'?

Theoretically yes, but I don't believe in there just being the one person out there for you, I don't even believe in soulmates so I think it's fair to say I don't think it'll happen.

I'd like to get married because it's just nice isn't it, to refer to somebody as a wife/husband rather than just girlfriend/boyfriend/partner. It strengthens the bond, gives benefits and reduces stigma/pressure for long term relationships who aren't seen as fully committed if they don't get married. It's cute and romantic.

Do you want to get married? Why/why not?

absolutely i think it's so romantic and essential for any children.


Do you think your opinion will change?

nope.


Would you marry someone if you didn't love them?

nope.
