[quote=saden1;562535]I got my finger on the trigger ready to fire at a beautiful figure. Only problem is she likes the idea of a fall wedding and I'm like "nu-uh, that's football season!"[/quote]

Maybe thats the real reason behind the bye week?

Re: On Marriage
 

Both the NFL season and anniversaries occur annually right? It's best to avoid anything in the fall as it could result in missing a game for something more important.

This guy is thinking ahead! Unless her ideal anniversary date is a Skins game, DON'T DO IT!

Re: On Marriage
 

marriage is pointless. If you're committed then stay committed. If you're not then leave. I cannot for the life of me understand why people would intentionally "limit their options" only to make it harder for them to live separate lives if they change. Because other people do it? **** that. I am married by the way.

[quote=Mattyk72;562469]I think everyone should have to wait until at least the age of 30 to get married, and you should also have to live with that person for at least a year prior. No kids until after 30 as well.[/quote]


Most of my friends married in their early to mid 20's. All of them but one are still married. That living together before marriage crap has been proven to be bogus. Statwise the couples have a higher divorce rate if they shack up before hand. The reason is simple. If you feel you have to shack up beforehand to try it out you already have some significant doubts about if this person is the one. Marriage is one heavy committment and you better be damn sure the person is for you. Shacking up is almost like giving a nice sports car a test run, you like it, but you know you can't buy it.

Good thread. I have nothing to add, but much to learn.

[quote=saden1;562417]For those of you who are married what tips do you have for us unmarried guys? How and where did you propose? Why did you propose to [I]her[/I]? What do you do to keep the spark going? What kind of adjustments did you have to make? What kind of impact have the children had on your marriage?[/quote]


You should cut your genitalia off and give it her in a gift box.

So you don't think a two state solution is feasible?

Very happily it appears.

Oh, saden, one more thing... the engagement ring. I was talking to my wife earlier this morning and she mentioned one of the girls in the office was getting married. Then she went on to talk about how the women were all comparing rings... and how hers was the best. I have to tell you, that is one purchase that you only get one shot at and you have to go big. You'll never regret the money you spend on a good one, but you'll kick yourself if you don't. I'd say find something that you think is just about right, and then go up by about 50-100% depending on your budget. My wife was never a big jewelry person, never talked about it anyway, but she has repeatedly talked about all the compliments she gets, and it always makes her smile. Money well spent.
