I hate marriage. Feels and sounds just like a trap.

If I had it to do over again, I would not get married, even with kids.

Not very. I'm thinking I'm at the stage where I need to downsize, get things in order and ready for my daughter to deal with my possessions. Marriage might complicate that. Want to leave something that might make her life easier or more comfortable. Feel like any woman in my life might be doing the same. Leaving things for her offspring, like I'm doing.

Not important.

About as important as having tastebuds in my rectum.

I'm all for having a committed relationship, but I don't need marriage. I've worked hard for what I have, including a decent credit rating. I'd definitely want to dfo a financial analysis to determine both the benefits & the negative impacts of a legal bond. Would it be beneficial in taxes? What about income/debt ratio? What liabilities would they bring to a marriage? Would this diminish possible retirement disbursement? What about impacys on health insurance & later medicare (if it still exists).

Lots to consider.

Don't most Women want marriage,a stable relationship.especially if children will be produced? Think about this,a Women expends a huge amount of time and materials from her body to create a child.

At this point ? Not very .

It's only paper that makes you legally vulnerable. It's not important to me, but it's important to others, so I won't get in the way of it. It's just not for me.

now that i am divorced, it has no importance after 29 years of marriage,

Never actually been married. Been asked, been engaged but non of my relationships worked for me. Marriage itself seems like an ok thing if I could find the one to share that piece of paper with. But for me the relationship would have to be worthy of a rest of my life commitment. Not into the whole wedding thing. Well maybe just the whole religious wedding thing. Maybe a sci fi or cosplay of fantasy sort of thing. But the traditional wedding bs would just feel like a waste of my time money life and mentality. One of my exes and I broke up because I did not want a wedding. Another relationship ended because I did not want to change my last name ... was open to hyphenating. And you should have seen the reaction to me asking if he would be will to to change his. Yeah these were some eye openers to me.

Marriage is important if one decides to have children. As I have no parenting skills & never wanted to bear children, I never pursued the idea of marriage.

Very.
I'm married and my wife is the most important part of my life.

Be nice to have someone to sleep with, who cared about you, who you could trust. If marriage is what it takes then so be it but I don't see it as required.

Been there, done that, have the tee shirt. Not something I'll be inclined to do again. I was very lucky to get out of that one as I did...

Personally speaking, I'd rate it a ten on a scale from zero to infinity.

Depends how many boxes are ticked I suppose.

My marriage of almost 35 years was very important to me. Things are different now.

Not at all. I promised myself once is all.
