Listening to THAT song was what got me to decide I should take the plunge. (And I haven't looked back, nor do I intend to).

So YOU'RE the one that song was written for... I love that song and knew it was speaking to someone!

It's funny the things you hear but don't actually listen to.
At the time I was trying to hang on to something else somewhere else that was going nowhere else.
You're now privvy to something I've never even told my wife-hearing THAT song made me realize I'd better ask her.
thanks, Don, Glenn, Joe, & Tim-I owe you guys big time

I got married when I did for one reason:

I don't think I was ready to be married when I was 25, but I sure as hell wasn't going to let Peggy get away! I'm just glad she put up with me until I was ready to be a good husband!!!

I have kids and love having kids. But i never understand these questions. I can't imagine asking anybody personal questions. Sometimes I ask my sisiters personal questions or they ask me. But when we do this it's with alot of thought behind it. Kind of like tossing and turning for a couple days and then finally asking. Can't imagine wanting to do this more then once for the same question.
The only people I think have a sort of right to ask this are close friends and family who love you and who know you well enough to understand the answer. They're also close enough to you that if you don't want to talk about it you can say f- you quite easily and they'll laugh and drop it.

what sux is when you get married for love & family & your spouse inadvertantly puts the world ahead of your marriage after you have a kid

yep. true concept of marriage is spouse comes first. Kid centered marriages do not work. When the kids come along hubby/wife goes out the window. Before you know it the kdis are gone and you have no marriage.

yep... a good sign that the marriage probably could have used a bit more thought. A friend of mine had what sounded like the best plan if you were going down the route with kids: date for a year or two, get engaged for a year or two, get married and spend the first five years together getting to know each other (every stage brings out different facets that give insight into the other person) before bringing kids into the picture.

Based on those of you I've met, I don't think any of you should be allowed to reproduce!

My husband and I have a "date night" once a month. We hire a babysitter and just go out for dinner. It makes us feel like "us" instead of "mom and dad" all of the time.

My parents do this (and have for the 20 years since the kids left home). Every Friday night is "Date Night", and they go out for dinner, run errands together, and just do the "we're a couple" thing. It's kinda cute.

I would love to have family that would understand the answer We're the only ones married that haven't had at least one child, much less more. It always comes up at Christmas in the form of 'oh wouldn't you just love to have a little one to spoil at Christmas and bake cookies for and yadda yadda yadda?' to which my husband says 'she does. Me.' He actually has far less patience with that question than I do.

I guess it's just a mindset some people have.

I had that question asked once at a Family Christmas Gathering. The guy who asked it married into the family and is generally thought to be a complete dork. Let's just say that after he heard my response, he has never bothered striking up a conversation again.
