<p>I'm getting married April 7. </p>

<p>Yes, in graduate school and getting married. I think it's actually a smart time to get married. I have a lot of support from my fiance both emotionally and financially while I pursue my dream of a PhD. </p>

<p>Getting married while in grad school = good....having kids during grad school = bad (imo). Some people say it's best to have kids in grad school because it's the most flexible time of you life. Well, I personally don't want to bring kids into the world without a little bit more financial security and emotional stability.</p>

<p>well then best of luck!!</p>

<p>What % of CCers plan to get married?</p>

<p>If you mean to ask, "do CCers plan to get married to other people?"</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>If you mean to ask, "do CCers plan to get married to other CCers?"</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

44

<p>It is currently not legal for me to get married in the USA</p>

<p>:(</p>

45

<p>massachusetts?</p>

<p>unless you plan to marry your dog, in which case, no, i don't think that's legal anywhere...or you're not a citizen...or...</p>

<p>but it sure is a drag having to get married in a state i couldn't spell until, like, five minutes ago.</p>

46

<p>Gay Marrige isnt recognized in most states at this point in time. <em>le sigh</em></p>

47

<p>Marriage=headache. </p>

<p>Funny because in my sociology class of 200 people, the professor asked this same question and of course, most people raised their hand (save a handful). my friend sitting next to me didn't, but he felt it was something to be ashamed about. so he doodled so as to appear preoccupied. I, on the other hand, had known for a long time that I do not want to get married, so I was largely unaffected by the question. Marriage is only as big of a deal as one makes it out to be.</p>

48

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>Marriage in this day and age simply isn't a good idea (VAWA, I'm looking at you...). There's more than a 50% chance (at least with older statistics, I'm pretty sure that its only gone up since then) that the wife will leave and still get child support, alimony, etc., even if the kid isn't yours! (paternity tests mean nothing in some states). No fault divorce = instant win for the woman.</p>

<p>The next two pictures are sad, but mostly true:

<p>I definitely hope to be married someday.</p>

50

<p>Sure.......</p>

51

<p>Marriage, yes. Kids, no.</p>

52

<p>^agree with above</p>

53

<p>Yes to both marriage and kids.</p>

54

<p>does it count that I'm already married?</p>

55

<p>No. I would rather have a shot at my dream career than get married (and I really can't have both) and I definitely don't want children.</p>

56

<p>Marriage would mean I would have to find a woman. The process would most likely involve sex before and during the marriage. Unless there was such a thing as a long-lasting sexless marriage, it won't happen. And on the second sentence, the only way it would happen was if I paid for the privilege or committed a crime in the process, neither of which I am willing to do.</p>

57

<p>Are you afraid of sex, K-man? Because that's what it seems like if I'm reading correctly...</p>

58

<p>I'd say a better quetion would be: what percentage of CCers can find someone that will marry them?</p>

<p>people who cry about their 2390 SAT might have a hard time.</p>

<p>but im not one of those people, so heres one! 1/1 = 100%.</p>

59

<p>I plan to.</p>

<p>The people that post chances threads with 2400's/4.0s/saving blind kittens from burning fires EC's probably won't.</p>

<p>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, I love that.</p>

<p>At first I thought, finding someone interested in a CC person would be hard but then I realized, many of these CC people will be on Forbes in the future, and thus shouldn't have a problem finding someone interested in them (or their money).</p>
