Oh good question. Right now I am wonder how many practice engagements do you get before successfully making it to the alter & saying "I Do".I am on #3 right now & it is falling apart. I don't think there is enough tape or glue to fix it this time. Love should come with a manual because I can't seem to make it work & not a clue what I am doing wrong.
That depends on who you are practicing on. Make sure it is on the other person's dime or you won't afford being able to do it more than once. Make sure you take the victim to the cleaners or there may not be a second chance unless you are practicing on the highly gullible.
People who are broke are not attractive, no matter what they look like.
Oh I am so happy for the both of you. I wish you two a lifetime of happiness.
Living with someone might be a good "practice". But even living together isn't necessarily going to guarantee your marriage would work. Marriage is so many things .. and a lot of it is knowing if you're in for the long haul. If you're able to sustain a relationship when the realities of bills and kids, etc. become a part of the mix. Best idea is NOT to get married until you are sure you're with the right person for you.
Alas, the statistical evidence suggests "practice marriages" lead to nothing but more divorce.
While the overall dissolution rate of marriages in the US is around 50%, the rate for second, third, and higher number divorces is MUCH higher (80%+ if I remember correctly).
As Oscar Wilde said, marriage is the triumph of hope over experience....;-D...
Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that. However, having it fall apart before the I-Dos is better than after. Perhaps those engagements would not have led to healthy marriages. In which case, it's far better to let them go.
Zero.
Just marry the first Russian bride you can find online and everything should be good.
lol Maybe that's why your online marriages have failed. They needed to fail so you could be free for Mr. B.
*punches Al in the face*
For me, zero. I'm reluctant to do it once. But if I ever do and it doesn't turn out the way I'd like, I'm not doing it a second time! lol
It's best not to have "practice marriages" at all. It's better to live with a partner unmarried at first, if not permanently. Marriage is not really necessary anyway, especially not "practice marriage". Have you thought about the possible cost of all those divorces? You could spend all that money on things you want to collect if you didn't squander it on such useless enterprises as "practice marriages".
