Most likely, neither. For the future, I prefer the idea of separate abodes - close by - but not too close.

Well i have been down the divorce path twice. not by my choice, but thats ok. i don't think i will ever get married again. if i do find someone to live with, it is a commitment for as long as it lasts. its a marriage in all ways except legally.i am not averse to it, just don't really want to anymore. but if i take that step to live with someone, i will be as committed as i would be if we were married.

I am a Great Dad. I am a Fantastic Lover. I am a Kind, Gentle Man. I am also a Lousy Husband....

Not sure. I've raised my kids already. Homophobes and divorce lawyers have made a complete mockery of marriage. So, no... I am not sure why I would ever do that again.

That said, is there any OTHER legal way to make it known who is allowed to visit when one is hospitalized?

Marriage is pointless and it destroys relationships.

No, marriage is a bad deal for men! I don’t need legal documents for my love life and I don’t need a woman that wants one. My divorce was messy so if that sounds harsh it’s no more harsh than how the laws are tilted against men. I have 3 great kids and I’m 54, I see no benefit to marriage ... Both from the perspectives of it being a religious institution and a legal one.

Neither. I'm too cranky and set in my ways.

Ooh Heeeelll NO!

My wife passed in 2011. I had no intention of getting married again but I met the right lady a few years later and fell in love with her. I married her and I have never been happier.

I’ve been married three times; obviously I suck at it. Probably no more marriage for me!

I won't get married again. Living together is still on the table, though. Not in a hurry.

I would do it for a better Social Security advantage, increased health benefits, combined income to pay expenses, having a dance partner, a hiking partner, etc, if there were no other way to gain these advantages.

Made it 29 years through a bad marriage. I have no intention of marrying again. I kinda like living alone, but ya never know, someone might come along whom I would love to live with and/or commit to. Doubt it, but ya never know. Marriage? Probably not again for me. I don't like that trapped feeling.

Marriage = never.
I did plan on marrying a lady after my marriage was long dead and buried. We both planned we would marry, she cheated on me. hmmmm,
Only lived with one lady since then, she can back 5 years after she left and took my brand new house from me.
So, do not plan on co-habitating again either.

no chance

It depends. I'll tell you when (or if) I get to the point where I need to make that decision.

I will be 55 shortly. I was divorced at 23. I have "shacked up, wallowing in sin" for multiple yrs (up to 17 of them) but pretty sure Judas & Hitler will be passing out ice skates & parkas before I will consider marrying again.

I won't say never, but I'd probably just stick with living with somebody.

probably cohabitation
