A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship.

We all have a childhood dream that when there is love everything goes like silk but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.

I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth I have resolved to put these considerations before any others.

I think gay marriage should be the national law.

I've never quite understood why people marry marriage is just an invented structure.

Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen.

I'm not really interested in thinking about marriage or kids at all.

To be honest marriage doesn't scare me and that it's just once you've been together for so long if you haven't got any kids it's just a big expensive day out for everyone else to enjoy isn't it?

I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.'

The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.
