Never ever discount the idea of marriage. Sure, someone might tell you that marriage is just a piece of paper. Well, so is money, and what's more life-affirming than cold, hard cash?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marriage can be expensive, and if I lose millions then it'll be the best millions I've spent.
Marriage, like money, is still with us; and, like money, progressively devalued.
Money isn't everything. Do you get married because of money? Do you have kids because of money?
There is no doubt that, as a society, we have become blase about the importance of marriage as a stabilising influence and less inclined to prize it as a worthwhile institution.
Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much in it as is represented in the advertising.
It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
Getting married has certainly made a massive difference to my own life. So I am committed to giving support for family finances and having the right policies for work-life balance that make it easier for couples to have a rich family life.
It couldn't be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn't really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved, so I don't gravitate to it.
For me, marriage is about love, not paperwork. I've never been the kid who dreamed of the big white dress, the long veil, the fancy diamond ring.
Never marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper.
