'People' say you should get married for LOVE. Others say you should get married for money. Still others think you can have both. (Although it's been told to me that you can't have hot sex and a lasting relationship. Confusing, right?)
Well, I've never done either. And I don't plan on it. The love and money marriage, I mean!
I Googled 'types of marriages' (because that's how I get all of my information)...but I really didn't get what I was looking for. I don't think 'types' is what I'm after, however, this blogger gave me some great insight as to 20 different recognized 'Types': http://libertinethought.blogspot.com/2008/01/20-types-of-marriage.html
I especially enjoyed #20 and think I may head toward that if all else fails:
20. After Death Marriage
Permitted in France, a living person can marry a dead person of the opposite sex after the individual has died.
I think I realize my problem. It's REASONS to get married. Back to Google.
Askmen.com...because MEN know the answers to EVERYTHING right?? Let's take a gander: http://www.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-reasons-to-get-married.html (so far I've read that the dude can live longer and get that big screen TV. SMH) (extending bloodline, not being along...blah blah blah) (more attractive to women, tax benefits) (FINALLY: more sex, better sex) (happier, makes you a better man - HA)
No, that wasn't really what I was looking for either. But will bookmark Askmen.com for future burning questions! (Top 10 Movies to see to Get Sex...Top 10 Interesting Facts about Women...Top 10 Relationship Mistakes - ALL from a man's perspective! Enlightening!!)
Okay back to MEEEE. (Remember, we're pretending here): So do I marry for sex? For convenience? (whoo hoo - someone to take the garbage out!) To help someone gain citizenship? (green card anyone??) To have someone to bitch to at the end of the day? (I mean share my day with...teehee!) Wait, I sound as bad as the dude from Askmen.com. Sigh.
Here's another option: http://marriage.about.com/cs/prisonmarriage/ht/prisonmarriage.htm. But the only person I know in prison is all the way in Cali and I don't even know if they do conjugal visits. Wait. I'll go Google it....
Okay, according to PrisonTalk.com....California may or may not have it, depending on where you are and if you're serving life or not. I particularly liked this question: "Does anyone know - does a 108-year to life sentence count as "life," and therefore, ineligible for conjugal visits?"
Cleared that right up!
Similar to a Prison Marriage would be a Long Distance Marriage. Probably sex about as often...without the orange jumpsuits, metal bars and those pesky guards carrying guns. Oh, and your spouse wouldn't be a murderer, rapist, money launderer or Rod Blagojevich. Bonus! The only issue I see here is that at least ONE of you has to have money to pay for all the travel arrangements.
A Long Distance Marriage for Money? Geez. This is complicated.
I'll just grab my WAHL All-Body Massager and put an end to this line of thinking.
