I know about 6 people in happy marriages... and thats like 6/700, which is a terrible ratio. thus, my cold feet grow colder
aint that the truth. i work in the car business and in the past, i'll say, 3-4 months i have seen and heard of a bunch of customers (mostly women) that are coming in to trade there cars in to lower payments, get wife/husband off the current vehicle, etc. it really sucks which is also turning me off to the whole marriage thing myself.

OK, I'll be the first in this thread. My 35th wedding anniversary is in August. I probably wasn't in love when I married. My Dad died suddenly, unexpected, and tragically and I needed someone. My bride to be was there for me and that was it. I was living on the beach with a roommate and she and her roommate moved in next door after a summer in Europe. We had common bedroon walls and quickly got to know each other. However, soon after marriage I grew very much in love. We have the same interests and needs. We enjoy travel, Astronomy, photography, auto racing, and college football. We spent a summer in Europe, another in Mexico. We've taken long trips to South America, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, Hawaii, East Africa, North Africa, Alaska. We've been on several cruises. We chase total eclipses of the sun -- we've seen seven. She works full time in my business and we get more quality time together, including lunches. We enjoy working together and talking about business. She's a great asset to me in my business. Sex is still great. We chose to have no kids but have two dogs we just adore and a great home in the foothills. I couldn't ask for more. I feel sorry for people in shitty marriages.

Not everyone is stuck in a loveless marriage. 
It's just those who married out of convenience or for the heck of it or who don't have a clue about love or relationship.
