What about you are you willing to give up your freedom to be in a committed relationship? Yes, however, I met many inperson but not the right man for Me Yet.

are you willing to give up your freedom to be in a committed relationship? NO.. I'm always willing to compromise mind you.. but I'm not willing to give up the right to participate in the decisions that affect my life NOR loose my personal freedoms for ANYone.. one sided relationships just DON'T work for me...

If a man truly loves a woman, He wouldn't ask her to give up her rights to help make decisions that would affect her life. Love is all about Compromise and doing things together as One; even though the Man is the head.

I agree with your statement up to the last sentence.. personally I feel that both should SHARE the responsibility of being the masters of their domain.. however, one could typically bow to the others strength, providing of course it's reciprocated in kind.

If she was what I have been looking for then by all means yes, but it would have to be the right person.

The only reason I would marry is if she was big on it and if I truly loved her...Outside of that, a marriage license is a great addition to my great big bonfire of "Normal."

I recently dated a guy who is very marriage minded, but he also made it clear that he would expect to be "The Man" and make all the final decisions in the relationship.I honestly felt that someday I'd like to get married again, but the longer I'm single and making my own choices without having to consider another persons opinions or needs, the more I think i'm gonna stay single. What about you are you willing to give up your freedom to be in a committed relationship? Its not about giving up freedom for a relationship but sure as hell would not be with a guy that makes all the decisions. This is strictly my own opinion; but marriage to me shoud be should be a partnership; not a dictatorship.

Makes the best relationships. OPINION.

What about you are you willing to give up your freedom to be in a committed relationship? I don't have any expectations of marriage nor am I seeking marriage. Having a partner to grow with doesn't necessitate marriage and is often financially disadvantageous at my age (not that I have anything to write home about but let's not make it worse, right?) But if a partner were truly a PARTNER I probably would marry if it was important to them...but if they are a PARTNER I wouldn't be "giving up freedom" - rather, I'd be choosing partnership. Different outlook.

Give the guy credit he has said what he is looking for, and if you decide to marry him he is the boss, at least he has told you what is on offer. I would need to know them very well before committing to marriage, but believe it is the way to go when you both decide that marriage is what you want.

I don't do things on a whim, I do them for a reason and I've yet to hear a single good reason to get married. You gain nothing and stand to lose a lot.

No commitments are sooooooooo much better! Go out ...stay in... but in the end he goes home! PERFECT!
