Well, let's just say MN, AZ and CA haven't worked so I can find a Mrs. Geek. Only 47 states to go...

Part Time Marriage....we have two couples in the neighborhood who have a separate household marriages. They are together two, three or four days, then return to their own homes.

Of course they are older and no children are involved.

...but like a familiar pair of worn out shoes, their relationship provides a sense of comfort they can't seem give up-no matter how bad the relationship really is.

This entire article is horse puckey. If the relationship provides a sense of comfort, it's probably pretty good. What earth-shaking problems, in the eyes of this writer, constitutes a bad relationship? He likes Italian and she likes French? Or what?

If you don't plan on having children no need for marraige and your relationship can be what ever you want it to be.

I know people like that also..Why would people that are older have to be married again? If they are established have there own homes they can just visit each other...

....I agree with you, I for one would never marry again.

Of course I said that after my first marriage failed, but this second marriage is great and if something should happen that I'd be single again, I'd stay that way.

Yes they do say 2nd marraiges work out better thann the first ones, since yiou do or should have learned from some of those mistakes, plus you kow more of what your looking for in that person for a long term commitment.

I too would never marry again if my 2nd marraige failed.

Many stay in unhappy relationships because it's safe.

technically, those that attempt to live at least a semi-moral life do require marraige in order to not live a celibate life.

I myself just married in Feb and we don't plan on having children but having children isn't the ONLY reason why people choose to share their lives with each other. People can say what they want but there is something unspoken, a commitment level that isn't reached until you both decide to make that commitment, to share the rest of your lives with the other person.

I understand that that particular type of outlook isn't popular today, with our drive-thru disposable society, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I certainly wouldn't attempt to try to tell others that having intense sexual relationships w/ people outside of marraige is alright - talk about doing some emotional damage. No one comes out of situations like that unscathed, as much as people would like to think they do. JUST mho, of course.
