Our relationship is between us. I don't care for publicising it in the style of grand public declarations.


So basically it boils down to legal documents and money for me..according to Santa.  For you it appears to just be about money.:p

Sorry if my public declaration of love for my wife in that other thread offended your sensibilities.  Maybe if you were married you would understand why I would do such a henious thing?
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

The appeal of marriage

horses for courses Curval. It would be wrong of me to suggest anyone should not get married, and many of my friends are married and that is cool. Just not for me. My words about marriage may have been a bit derogatory, not the intention.

In the 'old days' marriage was a method of forming (within the ruling classes at least, peasants didn't get married much) strategic alliances between families. The poor schmucks who had to actually say the vows often had little to do with it.

But if you get married for the right reasons, who am I to argue?
