Some of you people are very amusing to say the least. You just don't have a clue about life at this stage. To much education on the marriage subject is not a good thing. First off, you can't "look" for a woman to marry, it just has to happen.
Second, if you want to bring your kids up right, then show them "tail lights". This both in values and ethics.
One thing said is true. Having a successful marriage takes commitment and work. Love grows with the years if you are committed.
I've been married 41 years. I have three kids all married for at least 10 years. Divorce is never discussed but commitment is.
The key is good parents. I'm lucky here as all my kids have chosen spouses with good parents. That is not always the case so that is where showing tail lights is important. Don't to do this with your spouse as well; in a positive way of coarse.
Remember that respect and understanding are earned. Each must give 100% to each other even in the hard times. That is easier said than done but will worth it.
Don't discount marriage, it is not the institution that needs change, it is values, ethics and understanding.
I could go on about where you can get that, but enough said on this subject.
Remember, none of us are 100% correct on anything.

Sorry, but just felt this needed to be said.

When I started this thread I meant for it to be an acknowledgement of the NFL career of a very tough competitor, and to express regret that his life ended shortly after his career as a player was over.

I knew full well from the first breaking story that his personal life had everything to do with how his life ended, and was completely aware that there would be posts on this thread commenting on such.

I did not intend for this to be a debate on marriage itself, or a discussion about the size of each other's private parts, so I am closing this thread now.

Thankfully, Leon summed it up nicely from his unique viewpoint without being incendiary.

RIP, this thread
