I agree. I was pondering this somewhat very topc yesterday, and i came to the conclusion that there should be a mandatory waiting or dating period before a couple can tie the knot. lol... I know that would never go over with anyone. People don't like to be controlled, especially with big decisions such as marriage.. Ah well.. all the same.. i think it's a somewhat good idea.. don't you think? hahaha

While I agree that the divorce rates are horrific, I do think 10 years is a little long to wait to marry someone. Not having sex with someone you actually love for 10 years (although the love might only be for 9 years, as an example) is absolute torture. Most people probably start having the sex and making the love and shucking the banana (etc, etc) before getting married, but not everyone does.

So if you're practicing for baby-making, 10 years might not be a problem - ignoring probable family curiousity and pressure. If, on the other hand, you're saving yourself for marriage, 10 years is a hell of a long time to wait. Especially if you've already waited 10 years to find that special person (from when you started looking, not from when you were born - that'd be 30 years in my case).

Oh yeah - hell no! It's funny you mention that, Rust. Waiting never even crossed my mind! Well, unless you mean waiting a few dates ;)

Shucks! Why do I have to marry after 10 years of torturous waiting ? Is marriage that important ? I'm waiting for the guy to propose since 3 years and have become mentally and emotionally sick. 10 years of my life is not worth marrying anyone at all
