How any times have you been married

[Shadow1]

Or unless people take proper care before doing something they'll regret later - I'm talking of course of non-commited people or people with an open relationship, I'm not condoning what you're saying.

Not even close - the failure rate for condoms over the course of a year is as high as 30%, however that's only measuring their effectiveness as birth control - a virus is a lot smaller with studies showing a much higher failure rate for AIDS sized particles. The tests only show the possibility of an aids sized particle getting through, so the infection is still lower, but do you really want to take a chance.

With other infections such as HPV, the failure rate is much higher, with infection rates not much different than riding bareback. (HPV infection causes the vast majority of cervical cancer and genital warts)

It takes work, and a Great Tech will take the time to read the manual and ask the operator what the problem is. Same is true for marriage. Communication is the key and going to marriage seminars together helps you figure out the rest. (highly recommend "Family Life Weekend to Remember".)

Attend a conference - FamilyLife.com

I agree communication is the key. We have attended a couple of the Weekends to remember. Great stuff. Most people say that marriage is 50/50. I contend that that is not the truth. Marriage is more like 60/40. Sometimes I give 60%, she gives 40%, the rest of the time she gives 60% and I give 40%. We never go to bed mad at each other. We always work it out. Trust me me have had some long nights!

One and only marriage, 17 years last Sept. We are committed for the long haul. You have to learn to leave work at work and home at home. Makes you a better spouse and a better tech.

I suppose you were already guessing it when you started the thread...

Married Twice, divorced twice. The first time before I'd ever stuck a screwdriver in a copier. We had sexual differences, she was getting more of it than me. Then I married someone who was less than stable. Best divorce decision I ever made. Have been with my 3rd partner for 13 years, marriage not important, neither of us need anything from the other, we just like each other - still. We both firmly believe in being faithful to each other. My first obviously didn't, my second always though I'd was playing up. Clients would say hello in the streets, and she thought they were lovers.

Well, this is an older thread but since it's been brought back up I'll share.

I've never been married. Of course, I'm only 21 so not much of surprise there. However, I don't ever intend on getting hitched. The odds aren't in my favor of it being successful plus women just plain scare me sometimes.

Our lives are not stable in the workshop our focus is only in the machine and at home with the Internet and books, for me marriage is a silly idea

This only shows that you're sane. I didn't marry until I was 27, and yes, 22 years going strong. First and only wife. We really felt like we were both much more ready for a good marriage after long term relationships. =^..^=

I'm still sane? That's good to know. The voices in my head keep telling me I'm not... Liars!

Congratulations to you for your successful marriage.
