    Speaking as a thrice married (and divorced) woman, I can categorically state that marriage is never a good idea

    Ah don't give up. I had a lady friend in Arizona who at about your age married #8 and that one worked.
    I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

    Did you just have a "Bushism"? I think you got the 'shames' in the wrong order.

    In the context of marriage, I believe I was correct.

When in history has anyone ever said "I love you so much that we should get this legally recognized with a piece of paper, and invite a judge and some lawyers into it, and pay out the backside for pieces of melted minerals in the shape of a little circle specifically fitted for the one occasion and it should never ever be taken off lest we incur the wrath of our wives". Just doesn't quite add up to me... Here I am, the sucker who bought into it now though.
    My parents have been married 50 years (ages 70 and 71) and are very happy. I know that is not the same with everyone. Don't take my word for it:

    My mother says, "It took me all this time to get him trained. Why in the world would I want to start over and do all that work again! Young people today are far to quick to give up. It takes commitment, communication, patience, and a lot of love to make it work. You can't take each other for granted"

    My dad says, "I don't feel like we've been married that long. It seems only yesterday, when we walked down the aisle. I'm not saying it has been easy. Neither of us are perfect and it takes a lot to work problems out, but when you love someone, it's worth it. I've never regretted it. We are much closer than we've ever been because we know what we went through to stay together. It takes 2 people to make a marriage and both have to be willing to work it out. Which means you have to be willing to admit when you're wrong (laughs) even when you think it may not be your fault."
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

    My parents have just celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary and they are blissfully happy, I have seen it more so recently as my dad has been quite ill. It is lovely to see them holding hands and looking into each others eyes, marriage does work sometimes, just not for me

    Even Murphy (Famous Murphies Law) was an optimist . You would hardly believe it, but He was quoted as being so.

    All is not lost --even for Mr Murphy.
