1. I don't mean to be slow
 but when people usually refer to "settling down" do they mean to get married with kids? If that's the case, I guess I don't want to settle or either I want to partially settle. I want marriage but no kids. 2. At one point do you think you are ready to "settle?" I'm not rushing marriage. My parents were divorced. The divorce rates and remarriages are high today

Hey carebear, thanx for an answer. I figured there are many different meanings to that phrase.
I'm not a party person. Note: Carebears were my favorite toys back in the day

Bored, I neve have & never will settl down.
Life is meant to be lived. Divorced once, married twice. Learned the hard to "live like your dying." You can marry & then have a partner in crime. Raise hell together, best way. |

I think the only reason the divorce rate is higher now than it used to be is because people aren't taking marriage as a serious thing anymore.They may say the vowels but they don't live by them.I just think couples need to take more time and think about marriage before they actually go through with it.

I agree jtevans ~applause~
I think during the baby boomer period (1950's) marriage was better financially too. In a divorce there is so much involved financially.

Hmm...I've never really liked the phrase, "settling down". I think life is an adventure and I don't think marriage changes that. |

I think to a lot of people that settling down does mean marriage and children. Or at most getting married. Not everyone wants children. I happen to have one. He doesnt live with me though I wish he did
 At this point in my life though, I think I may be too old to have anymore children....so I want someone to "settle" down with.....

Well the term could also mean...Being in a committed long-term relationship vs. still just wanting to date other people!

Thank you everyone for the responses. I just want use the terms settling down because there are so many meanings behind it. If I do use it I will have to clarify what it means for me. Some guys RUN as soon as you say these words. |

  I don't like to settle but to commit to someone, I could, to marry, I could,,,,,,,,,,BUT, she would HAVE to be ALL IT, and THATS seen and felt in my mind and heart through lots of TIME. No RACE for life thing, but I hate to just keep on dating and I would Love to find someone to share TIME with and if that ment to live together, that would be cool, but marrage would be my THIRD, and "THAT" won't be an easy thing to have happen w/o great balance and love.
