I am single and think marriage will be good for my physical and/or mental health.
Are you married? Happily?
I'm not currently married, nor do I have any immediate plans to marry.
What is your impression of marriage?
I've seriously dated women before, in fact I was once engaged, and I found it superior to being single, though not necessary for my happiness.
Do you think marriage could improve your life, or the opposite?
I think a happy, healthy marriage absolutely could improve my life. My personality is built to couple. I love women, I love being in relationships, and I'm not afraid of commitment and honesty in a relationship. I'm also really picky, though.
Is marriage necessary to obtain the benefits of a long-term monogamous relationship?
Not at all. If I ever marry, it will be for the legal benefits. Long-term coupling doesn't require a certificate from the state. I suppose when I said marriage would improve my life, I more meant long-term coupling. Marriage is really just a legal thing as far as I'm concerned. My commitment doesn't require a showy vow, it's communicated through my continued love, trust, and hard work to maintain a healthy relationship.
Do people view you differently depending on your marital status?
Some do, particularly Boomers that don't really get that a lot of people of my generation have no interest in a rather arcane practice.
