Would you get married again?

Think of phrases like my other half or my better half. For me, it really is like that. My husband and I have our own little catchphrase: "we are one". We are not mutually interdependent on one another, each has their own interests. Neither am I the subservient little wife. I'm a highly independent person and not a bit "needy". But it is as if we are one person, or two halves of a person. Difficult to explain to anyone who has not felt like this. I suppose, also, to our children, we are kind of one person, known as "the parents". To them, we belong together. Even my divorced parents belonged together and never stopped their friendship. World's friendliest divorce, but it shouldn't have happened. When grandchildren come along, I suppose we will still be one person, known as "the grandparents". We will be together when the next generation need spoiling, unlike my children, who always saw my parents separately and alone.
....I think I'm going to be sick.
My wife kept her name. She didn't want mine.

Before we got married I told the wife it was not an issue for me at all and if she thought it would be wierd having a foreign name that's hard for Norwegians to say then I don't mind if she doesn't take it. She did and now spends ages spelling it out to everyone who needs it and never complains. Top lass.
Over here double barrel names are more common as women prefer to keep their birth surname as show of respect to their parents whilst also taking on their husband's name.
That probably explains my apathy to marriage then as I despise the phrases 'my other half' or 'my better half'. To use an NSC term, it makes me cringe. We are all individuals in life. I know loads of people use that expression, I just personally do not like it.

Have to say, some people have written lovely things here about their "better halves". There's a lot of love on NSC!
That catchphrase bit is so sweet

Just out of interest.... were you thinking of me?
I can imagine cringing at such phrases as "other half" or "better half". I used to, before I was married! Probably cringed at them in the early days of marriage as well. I was a modern young woman, after all, and all that stuff was for old sit-coms and pinafore-wearing women chattering over the garden fence about t'other half. But as the years went by, I realised it was actually true. I suppose a good marriage is one where the couple grows and develops together. A bad marriage is one where they grow and develop apart. Mind you, it takes work and compromise. It cannot be taken for granted or it can be so easily lost.

Well I would. When you are young you sometimes do it all for the wrong reasons. I married at 20 and for me it was too young. We grew up and wanted different things. Having just married my 2nd wife last Sunday I can honestly say it was the best day of my life. We have been together for 12 years and have two great children. We got married because we wanted to bond our family and our love. I feel I have met my soulmate. Would I re-marry if this went horribly wrong.... Mmm NO
It was nothing to do with religion, we had a humanist ceremony! But maybe I'm still on a high. My little opinion only!
