<p>if you were madly in love...</p>
<p>and..they solely possessed 6 months to live?</p>
<p>why or why not?</p>
<p>No, because of all of the lawyer crap that’ll go down when I eventually kick the bucket.</p>
<p>EDIT: I read that as if I had only 6 months to live</p>
<p>It the other had 6 months to live, I’d respect their wishes!</p>
<p>I think so. I’d rather maximize their contentment while they were alive, while possessing hope that they would miraculously recover. If I was the individual who solely possessed 6 months though, then I would refrain from marrying an alternative individual.</p>
<p>Hmmm, I think it might be dishonest of me. Maybe we could have a celibate marriage? But it still seems somehow incorrect.</p>
<p>What’s the point of the marriage? Why not just be with that person sans a marriage license?</p>
<p>That license is more meaningful to some in comparison to others.</p>
<p>^^I think we’re supposed to presume, from the question in the OP, that the other person wants to marry and may have proposed.</p>
<p>^Oh, I see. It’s not that I’m against marriage or anything, it’s just for six months it seems not necessary. I mean, if I was madly in love, then I would do what that person wanted (within reason, like this), I assume.</p>
<p>It’s kind of selfish of the other person to ask you to marry them though. You’re the one who eventually deal with all the heartbreak.</p>
<p>If they’re saddled with a tremendous amount of debt: no thanks</p>
<p>If they’re fabulously wealthy: aw hells yeah</p>
<p>On a random note, is it possible to will people your debts?</p>
<p>I don’t know what to say because I haven’t been near that type of situation, however that reminds me of the Nicholas Sparks book ‘A Walk to Remember’.
And there was this article in the local newspaper four-ish years ago (I just randomly remember now) about a woman who was going to die because of diabetes and her boyfriend married her. It was quite touching, and he was one of those tattoed dyed-black-haired guys that people think are emotionless and all that.</p>
<p>Here is my idea about marriage, not just in this scenario, but in general- why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?</p>
<p>Yes. Because that dude married that girl in A Walk to Remember.</p>
<p>And then when said person kicks the bucket, I can go score a book deal, a movie deal, and sob on Dr. Phil’s stage. Maybe Oprah’s stage too.</p>
<p>Yes because I could be by their side if they were dying in the hospital. And I would have some say as to what happens after their death. So absolutely.</p>
<p>Marriage is important because without it, you have absolutely no say in anything. You often can’t be by them when they die, you can’t make any decisions for them, etc.</p>
<p>
There is nothing in the OP to suggest that you are currently getting any (milk).</p>
<p>Sure, as long as if i can get a hold of their life insurance $$$…</p>
<p>^ Wow…</p>
<p>tsen</p>
<p>^ Stole the word right out of my mouth q:</p>
<p>PS: eastafro, I’ve been meaning to ask. Is English your first language?</p>
