I have never been married but my parents have been married for over thirty years. I am not sure that marriage is for me. I believe that marriage can be very challenging and rewarding.I believe it can be hard physically and mentally on a person that may not be ready to commit to someone for the rest of their lives.I know that you have to be a very giving person from the time that you are married or even engaged. I also believe that marriage is forever and should be taken seriously. I think a man should be financially secure before considering marriage. The man should have a decent house,transportation and a vision for the future. I think the only way a marriage can work is determination by both parties involved.

I would want to marry a woman that had experienced dating more than one man in her lifetime. I want a woman who is secure with herself. When the time comes for me to get married I won't have any misconceptions about marriage which is probably why I'm still single. I have dated my fair share of women. Some of them were very nice looking and some were less attractive. I've sowed my wild oats so to to speak. In this day of HIV you have to be careful.
