Test-marriage? Whatever happened to “as long as we both shall live”?
I know that a decent number of marriages in America end in divorce, but why get married if you don’t intend for it to last?
This saddens me, not only because it’s incredibly stupid but I know other girls who think this way. This girl I know from high school was PLANNING on having at least two husbands. As in, she was going to marry one guy, but knew she would divorce him for another guy. How does that make any sense?
I agree. And since couples are supposed to be honest with each other, does she have to say to the guy when he’s down on one knee, “You know this isn’t gonna last, right?”
I guess that whole “til death do us part thing” is below them. Or perhaps a murder mystery? Or super old dude who she forces into signing away is his money to her? Oh, wait. That’s to brilliant for them.
And while 50% may end in divorce, it means the odds are in your favor that it’ll end in death. Hopefully after a long, loving marriage.
50% is actually not an accurate statistic, it’s actually something more like 30% (although it is really hard to calculate, especially given the different definitions of “marriage”), but I see, and agree with your point.
It’s true, I don’t think these two are smart enough to be plotting…
Yea, I know. I just get a little miffed with them. I’m a little old fashioned when it comes to marriage and how you should really love the guy and enjoy their company. Not wait until the perfect opportunity to dump him on his ass for the next guy.
K.med, I don’t think that’s old-fashioned. I think that’s a mature, and intelligent way to see marriage. The whole point of marrying someone is to make it last, that’s pretty much the point.
What bothers me is that people think things like gay marriages are ruining the definition of “marriage” and there are people like the GAC running around…
Reminds me of what I overheard my mother say at my sister’s wedding. She was talking about my sister’s brand new husband: “Not bad for a first husband.”
What a grand example of how our societies idea of “give my children more than I grew up with” has left more things and less brains. O America how I love you.
Weelll, 24 and never-been-wed is a pretty bad sign. why even bother after that point? (sense any sarcasm?)

Good God. These girls…
the only reason is to dig all the gold out of husbands b4 divorcing them.
I think you have to change the name of the blog to “Dear Spinsters Above Me” now.
hahaha! Love it!

Ooooooohhhhhh dear. A test-marriage? …They probably have a club for that in Vegas.
Glad to know they have their priorities straight
24?!?! I’m 22 and upset I haven’t found mine yet!!!! Haha. Smh
BIRTHDAY POST!
what in the world is a “test-marriage” ???
21 and never been kissed, and they want to get married, divorce, and then marry again. Do I sense a murder plot?
where can I apply to be the rehearsal soulmate’s understudy?
Are you offering your services, Charlie? ;)

True that! There are 50+ species that practice same sex relations, only one has homophobia.

Technically, shouldn’t that include more discipline and punishment as well?
This just makes me sad.
Wow, really, a test marriage? These girls never cease to amaze me. Also, birthday post!
Happy Birthday!
Most of these posts make me laugh, but this one just genuinely depresses me. They can’t have had decent parents :[
