...What should be the only reason for marriage: Children...

Having the children can end the marriage. Plenty of cases where one resents the arrival of kids for the change in the other partner. Would be a catalyst though.

But is she getting any ?

I have been with Miss CooperinLiverp00l for 4.5 years and we get married 2 weeks this saturday.

She is my best friend, We talk to each other, have a laugh with each other, get pissed with each other and i couldn't think of a better person who i would want to spend the rest of my life with.

I have been contracting for about 4 years and have never had a contract where i have been home ever night of the week. Normally have to stay away a few days in the week and it hasn't had any effect on our relationship.

... and it hasn't had any effect on our relationship.

Well, not as far a you know.

Of course it is worth it.. you get biscuits cooked for you. I am eating home baked chocolate chip cookie right now in fact. And she earns a shed load of cash..and never whinges at me when I am on the bench.

She must be getting some action on the side and feeling guilty

[Chugnut]

Some happy customers then. Good luck in 2 weeks too, CooperinLiverp00l.

It's quite nice when you actually realise you don't have any more bl00dy wedding plans to think about and you're (hopefully) about to go on a brilliant holiday which you haven't had time to think about.

Someone pass me a bucket

[TheFaQQer]

Yes.

I've rarely worked near home since I've known my wife (met in 1994, married 1999). We both knew the situation with my work when we met and married, and I can't see myself wanting to be with anyone else.

Two kids - going home on a Friday is wonderful, the welcome home is worth the being away. Sunday is a bit tough, as my 3 year old does a fine line in a guilt trip and doesn't like me being away. We now have the following conversation every week:
Me: I have to go to work tomorrow
Her: But I don't want you to. I miss you and I love you.
Me: Why does Daddy go to work?
Her: To make money.
Me: Why does Daddy make money?
Her: To buy things for me and mummy and Tara

Not sure training her like that at this age is a smart move, but it gets round the emotional blackmail that she's already instinctively picked up.

So - yes, it's worth getting married, but think about it before you jump in.

I worked away from home for two and a half years and my relationship suffered. That was a long time ago though; I'm married now and happily so.

Quite a few people on these forums seem to have got divorced. Is the contractor lifestyle of chasing the cash taking its pound of flesh?

Or are you all crap in bed?
