Wedding vows ARE hard to keep. That's why you enter into the union with reverence and after serious contemplation. I hope nobody pledges themselves to someone with no intention to keep their promises.

Wedding vows are hard to keep
In this time of hookups, it is too much to expect either partner to remain faithful over a lifetime. What IS critical is early confession and forgiveness if a marriage is to survive long term.

True love is about death, and surviving the eternal damnation of Earth. Fight the purgatory of wedding bliss by sucking love from every beautiful moment of hate.

I can't wait until I get married! I'm either going to use the most traditional wedding vows I can find or I'm going to write my own.(: <3

Free Man and Free Woman
They are the same person just trying to get attention and draw in comments. Everyone has different views and are allowed their own views, whether they are correct or not is their own opinion they are allowed also, being everyone sees things different. There is a lot of good in people in this world, and their is a lot of bad in this world. Im engaged to someone who walked on me and treated my like dirt for 5 years when i did everything i could for them and loved them unconditionally. Only after he left me for another that he thought was better and in the end treated him that same way for a year, did he realize what he had left. Now he is the most thoughtful and sweet man, the complete opposite of what he turned into 6 months into our relationship the first time. Most of us are here for ideas about our vows, we all were lucky enough to find someone special. But that doesnt mean that something isnt gonna happen to change who we marry, we are always changing a bit of who we are. Just means that we need to work together to keep that love still alive if things change for the worst and not to turn bitter right away. Congrats all the engaged on here!

Just because your wife left you, doesn't mean you need to post your biterness for everyone else who is so happy to be getting married. you are taking what your wife done to you and making it out that all women will do that but you are very very wrong!

I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. I hope that you are able to heal and move onto someone who you can trust and love :)

to each their own... but why be on the website if ur just gonna be negative? there are plenty of good and bad woman... and men out there. But if ur on this page then hopefully you have found a good one! And if its does happen to end, remember you loved them... thats why u got married. and if u didnt then why bother.... Run before a proposal!

I blended a couple of different ones so we'll be using some as our vows and then others for the ring giving part of the ceremony.
They are wonderful! Thanks so much!

To Run, I can tell you havn't had a serious loving relationship before as you have no idea what marriage is all about. Me and my husband have not got all the money in the world and I still love him very much. I feel sorry that you think such things and that you one loves you enough to want to marry you I guess it's the immaturity you have just shown everyone that has read your comment! Good luck with you sad life and Anyone that wants to get married and be happy go for it because it is a very joyful time!

To the supposedly Free Man who is actually living in chains and can be set free through Christ
To all the boys out there that don't know how to step up and become men. When I say men I mean a man of God who obeys and loves Jesus Christ more than himself. If your life is rooted in Jesus and you live for him you will be blessed. The Bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. However you must also choose a godly woman that loves and fears God. God has designed us men to be the leaders of the home. That doesn't mean just making money and providing. I mean a true spiritual leader. Trust me its what women want a man who knows how to lead. If you are about to get married consider what I am saying. Are you living for yourself or Jesus Chris? Does the girl you are about to marry respect her parents and God? If not she will never respect you. However I'll get to the point marriage is a beautiful thing God created. When follow his guidelines to life found in the BIBLE you will be bless. Except Chris as personal Lord and savior and trust in him always.

I think u just got a bad fish in the sea. Not all women are like that so don't put me in the same category as her. Me and my finance are bout to get married we have been together for 6 yrs. And we have already told each other that if something would happen that we take what we came with. So not all women are after every man money!!

Listen here "Free man" not all women are like that, and my fiance don't need "locked" down cause I now he loves me and I love him. So get a life "Free man"

the secret to marriage
Well, I have a little different outlook on marriage. I have parents who are happily married. Grandparents who are happily married. Siblings who are happily married. My great grandma died at 98 and told me that marriage was one of the greatest things in her life. I have been happily married for 15 years. I have four children and couldn't be happier. I have learned that marriage is about sacrifice and communication. I know that my marriage is centered around a God who loves me. Whatever you do. Don't get married without first realizing its a covenant . Not a peace of paper. Whoever your marring may not ever change. So if your not satisfied with them before you get married. Don't try to spend the next 50 plus years with them. Yes if you have a nagging mate before you marry then you will have a nagging mate after you get married! HALF of everything is no reason to run! Fear should not motivate your future. Just be real with yourself. Are you willing to put aside what you want and lay down your life for another? P.S get some premarital counseling and actually allow someone to speak into your marriage.
Paul Bryan2010-05-26
RUN
I think it is udderly commical that you would dictate to all "RUN"! Just because you have had a bad marriage and divorce, does not give you the right to tell someone else whom may be in Love and getting married to RUN. The evil grip you say is not sot and true. However in your case it may be the way you act that warrented that!
Goodie Girl2010-05-16
hmm
Whatever unfortunate circumstances men and women experience in their marriage be it divorce, separation, adultery or simple bickering please remember you chose to be married. No one suckers anyone into a marriage. If you view marriage as a contractual obligation between two adults than you should think twice before taking on the responsibility of such a committment. Great reward is earned through hard work, patience and understanding. Love is only ONE requirement for lifelong committment along with many others. It will not be easy or always fun. If you do end up divorced do not keep a sour state of mind forever and do not project your misfortunes onto others as if it is the only outcome of a normally joyous event. Carrying such a heavy chip on your shoulder makes you more miserable longer than you should ever want; it makes no sense to nurse it like a sore tooth. This too shall pass; your life is not over so do not act like it is and let go of your spite.

yes, i know "free man" said some really stupid things(that i definitely DONT agree with)and yes, its weird that he would even come on this site anyway, but there are over 130 comments that are all about him! I say ENOUGH ALREADY! he's old news! Be happy to be married or marrying the man/woman of you dreams (I know i am!! :D) ...dont get sucked up in the drama of other peoples problems!
Soon to Be Mrs Smith2010-03-18
run
To the "free man" ... did you forget that the shoe also fits on the other foot? Men can also be nagging and complaining, and controlling, just to make their friends jealous and appease their manly hood. As soon as we try to loosen your evil grip, you go out and find another "young" thing to try and control, but won't get into a legal relationship with, because you like to have your cake and eat it too. We work just as hard for our money as you do, so shouldn't we be entitled to HALF!!! So go ponder on this one and remember the shoe does fit on both feet, and don't you forget it!

The man in which i will be marrying soon has no money, He is an average man in sociaty that i find to be anything but. I defenitaly dont want to appease my mother. And i dont care what my friends think. I dont complain or nag i ask for oppinion on my promblems and he does the same. Ladys and Guys when you find someone that you can have that with. DONT LET THEM GO. No matter what happends.
Lady in Waiting2010-01-05
so sad
I feel for the Free Man, what an awful experience to go through. I do feel it's unfair to assume all women are like that. If we all meant the vows we take, nothing like that would happen. Commitment isn't fuzzy feelings, it's hard work...make it work!
grace2009-12-09
Re RUN
Hahaha, you're funny, Free Man. You're like one of those people that buys a coffee, finds out it's burnt, and vows to never again drink coffee. Just because one cup was spoiled, that doesn't mean the next one would be. But now you'll never know if that perfect cup of coffee is out there because you won't give it a chance. Oh well, your loss.

not every person is a cheating whore. that goes for men and woman. I love my fiance and vise vera. i trust him with all that i am, and i would never hurt him. i have told him every single thing there is to know about me. even my deepest darkest thoughts and secrets. i wouldnt have it any other way. i wouldnt have any other person. i have waited a long long time to find this person. I have been in some of the worse relationships you can think of, abuse mentally and physically, rape...you name it ive dated it. Not until i met him did i really know love and sacrifice. Its sad people have to feel this way about marriage, it really is, but i understand it. good luck to you all.

I GUESS THAT GIVES ME REASON TO LOVE HER EVEN MORE. WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE WILL BOTH EVER NEED...........EACHOTHER
ALAN2009-05-13
I understand Free Man..
I understand your cynicism, but I don't agree with it. I don't presume to know why you feel the way you do, but rather than telling everyone to "RUN", I say, "Choose Wisely". The pain Free Man is talking about is experienced by a man who chooses his bride recklessly. No, marry for commitment, not lust. Marry for forever, not until it gets difficult. Marry because your woman makes you a better man with higher values, not because she makes you feel good for a moment.
I'm 23 years old and I will marry my beautiful fiance in less than a month. I run to her, not away from her, because I have chosen wisely.
Jake2009-05-03
excuse me free man
Obviously if you feel this way you were never really in love. When you tell men to run from the person who could truly love them it makes you look horrible and could ruin someones wedding day. How could you be so rude and immature yeah you lost money becuase you were stupid and probobly jumped into marriage. If you did not see how she apparently wanted to "lock you down so they have someone to nag, complain to, and also to make their friends jealous and appease their mothers" then you diddnt date long enough to know that you did or did not love her. So please do not be a rude,inconsiderate bastard when coming on to a site about a happy occasion called a wedding!

So sorry that you caught the wrong fish. Let this be a warning to all men to make absolutely certain they are choosing the right bride so they are not put in this guy's position. There are many wonderful, good and unselfish brides out there with no agenda other than to find a good man to love and support. Keep a clear head as you continue your search for the right woman.

jen2008-08-15
Wow
Personal experience, Free Man? You probably married a nasty woman. Marriage is nothing to run from. It just all depends on who your partner is and if you took the time to actually get to know them before the wedding. I'm sorry your marriage was a failure, but not all marriages will end like yours. You should've choosen better. The failure is partially yours. Remember that.
Open Eyes2008-08-05
How silly and unfortunate
How silly and unfortunate you are, Free Man. Simply because your union did not work does not mean others will be so unsuccessful. Don't try to ruin other peoples experiences because you can't keep your own marriage together, talk about immature. The mark of a bitter man is one who judges, ridicules and tyries to take away the happpiness of others. Maybe next time around the great and powerful Oz will give you a brain instead of a broken heart.
Lisajeanne2008-08-04
Sorry you have bad luck
Im truley sorry that you have been taken advantage of, but not all women want to tak advantage and take all your money and leave you broken. I know that happened to you, but there are some people out there, Like myself who hold these vows very close to my heart, and follow them and respect them, Not everyone does.... But some people do still,,,

Response
I don't normally respond to these sort of things, but I was perusing this site looking for my wedding vows. I happened to look down and see all of these comments, and I felt like I should say something.
I used to hate the idea of marriage. I was set on partying, drinking, and living with no regard to my future. But I met someone who made me realize that our lives have purpose, and that purpose is to serve God. In the Bible, it says simply that marriage is made for a man and a woman to come together, choose to love one another every day, and to serve God. Two together serve better than one. This is what marriage is meant for. Yes, too often people get married just to get married. Celebrities and regular people alike tie the knot and then are divorced only a few months later. My uncle, who I love dearly, is getting divorced by his wife after ten years. But they didn't have God in the center of their marriage. If we all understood what marriage was really meant for, and married for that reason, then marriages wouldn't fall apart. God is love, and true love only exists with God.
Caitlin2008-07-23
RUN
To all those women out there about to get married run! Men just want to lock you down so they have someone to insult, complain to and to make their friends jealous and appease their mothers and fathers. as soon as you try to loosen their evil grip on you they notice and suppress you even more! they make it impossible for you to leave and start investing their money in untraceable accounts, suggest loans in both your names and then force you to file for divorce so they cant leave you with a penny. Remember you get half, half the baggage, half the debt and all the shit they put you through for the rest of your life.. May these words haunt you forever...till death do you part...and then some.

Free man, why are you even on this site if you are so against making a commitment to the one and only love of your life. I'm sorry that you haven't experienced this wonderful feeling but you don't have to go around to sites where happy people are planning their special day and spread around your pain and hopelessness. If you weren't so afraid of commitment you might be happy too. Most women aren't like that, we're bot all pieces of shit. Think about it.

Hey Free Man, you sound like an idiot. Maybe your wife left you because you were a bad husband. Ever think of that? Also, FYI, it's a proven fact that married men live longer than single men while the reverse is true for married women. So get over yourself.

To Free Man
Oh Really? Well I'm looking up wedding vows to remind my husband of 28 years what he said to me when we got married in the letter I'm writing him telling him I'm divorcing him. See I just busted him in his 4 affairs with 4 women in the last 1 year and 9 months and in the process found out he's drained the finances with a crack addiction. Guess what I get half of? Nothing, he used it all in his little glass pipe and with his whores. I didn't nag him... I was too busy supporting him and taking care of the house and kids. My mother is no where around. SO STFU. There are good men and good women and evil men and evil women.

Dear Free Man,
It is terrible for you too say such comments...not all marriages will end up like yours.
Too Bad2008-03-03
Silliness
Why, if you're so unwilling to be (re)married, are you searching on a website about wedding vows? If this is just a unique hobby, maybe you should try reading books, or origami, or something. You can rest assured that we all find extremely honorable of you to warn all unsuspecting men of the danger that is marriage. I'm guessing that by the time any man reaches the legal age for marriage, he's already heard some form of your comments, as we all constantly hear how women try to drag men down. (That's really why we wanted the right to vote; it's an evil woman scheme to take half of the world through divorce settlements...oh wait--shouldn't we already be entitled to half of the world?).
Silliness2008-02-09
Happy Man
Dear Mr. Free Man,
I feel so sad for you. You seem like a bitter person who had one bad relationship and is poisoned forever.
My wife and I have been married for 10 years, after knowing each other for 8 years. We don't have any children & we like it that way.
Our marriage is a partnership & if I had it to do over again I absolutely would.
It is unfortunate that you had a bad experience but are you planning on growing old alone and by yourself?
It is wonderful to know that I have someone waiting at home for me every day and although we don't always agree ... who does? Friends have disagreements just like couples do.
I feel sorry that you have become such a bitter person. Not everyone is out there to take half of what you own and if you are so worried about that -- there is such a thing called a prenuptial.
To me, you sound like you may still have some growing up to do and maybe then you will be ready for a serious and committed relationship. You seem to be a really negative person and that is not going to take you very far in any aspect of your life.
Good luck in finding yourself & getting over the anger that you have.
Jay
Jay2008-01-25
what a sad little man
"Free Man" is clearly imprisoned in his own living hell. He is sad and pathetic. If his wife really did leave him, then it's not hard to imagine why. Given the fact that he feels the need to bash all marriages and all women, he will clearly continue to lead an unhappy and lonely life.

Marriage is a beautiful thing. "Free Man" must have been burned. That's too bad. He's missing out. Marriage isn't about the material things. I am getting married next week and we may not have a bunch of extra money, but we have eachother. That's all we need. True love.

Just because your wife left you, doesn't mean you need to post your biterness for everyone else who is so happy to be getting married. you are taking what your wife done to you and making it out that all women will do that but you are very very wrong!

Vows
I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. I hope that you are able to heal and move onto someone who you can trust and love :)
Hopeful 2010-12-07
Lmao
to each their own... but why be on the website if ur just gonna be negative? there are plenty of good and bad woman... and men out there. But if ur on this page then hopefully you have found a good one! And if its does happen to end, remember you loved them... thats why u got married. and if u didnt then why bother.... Run before a proposal!
Hehe 2010-11-23
love these vows
I blended a couple of different ones so we'll be using some as our vows and then others for the ring giving part of the ceremony.
They are wonderful! Thanks so much!

SAD
To Run, I can tell you havn't had a serious loving relationship before as you have no idea what marriage is all about. Me and my husband have not got all the money in the world and I still love him very much. I feel sorry that you think such things and that you one loves you enough to want to marry you I guess it's the immaturity you have just shown everyone that has read your comment! Good luck with you sad life and Anyone that wants to get married and be happy go for it because it is a very joyful time!

so silly
that is the sillest thing I have ever heard. When you find the one thats all you need. I have ran away from getting married so many times but in three weeks that will be over,

To the supposedly Free Man who is actually living in chains and can be set free through Christ
To all the boys out there that don't know how to step up and become men. When I say men I mean a man of God who obeys and loves Jesus Christ more than himself. If your life is rooted in Jesus and you live for him you will be blessed. The Bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing. However you must also choose a godly woman that loves and fears God. God has designed us men to be the leaders of the home. That doesn't mean just making money and providing. I mean a true spiritual leader. Trust me its what women want a man who knows how to lead. If you are about to get married consider what I am saying. Are you living for yourself or Jesus Chris? Does the girl you are about to marry respect her parents and God? If not she will never respect you. However I'll get to the point marriage is a beautiful thing God created. When follow his guidelines to life found in the BIBLE you will be bless. Except Chris as personal Lord and savior and trust in him always.

vows
I only got through half of the 2009 comments (people seem a bit stuck on free man). Anyway The vows helped a lot. I had no idea it would be so hard not to sound like an idiot when trying to write them.
Getting married after five years 2010-07-03
free man....
I think u just got a bad fish in the sea. Not all women are like that so don't put me in the same category as her. Me and my finance are bout to get married we have been together for 6 yrs. And we have already told each other that if something would happen that we take what we came with. So not all women are after every man money!!
momma 2010-06-26
Huh
Listen here "Free man" not all women are like that, and my fiance don't need "locked" down cause I now he loves me and I love him. So get a life "Free man"

the secret to marriage
Well, I have a little different outlook on marriage. I have parents who are happily married. Grandparents who are happily married. Siblings who are happily married. My great grandma died at 98 and told me that marriage was one of the greatest things in her life. I have been happily married for 15 years. I have four children and couldn't be happier. I have learned that marriage is about sacrifice and communication. I know that my marriage is centered around a God who loves me. Whatever you do. Don't get married without first realizing its a covenant . Not a peace of paper. Whoever your marring may not ever change. So if your not satisfied with them before you get married. Don't try to spend the next 50 plus years with them. Yes if you have a nagging mate before you marry then you will have a nagging mate after you get married! HALF of everything is no reason to run! Fear should not motivate your future. Just be real with yourself. Are you willing to put aside what you want and lay down your life for another? P.S get some premarital counseling and actually allow someone to speak into your marriage.
Paul Bryan 2010-05-26
RUN
I think it is udderly commical that you would dictate to all "RUN"! Just because you have had a bad marriage and divorce, does not give you the right to tell someone else whom may be in Love and getting married to RUN. The evil grip you say is not sot and true. However in your case it may be the way you act that warrented that!
Goodie Girl 2010-05-16
hmm
Whatever unfortunate circumstances men and women experience in their marriage be it divorce, separation, adultery or simple bickering please remember you chose to be married. No one suckers anyone into a marriage. If you view marriage as a contractual obligation between two adults than you should think twice before taking on the responsibility of such a committment. Great reward is earned through hard work, patience and understanding. Love is only ONE requirement for lifelong committment along with many others. It will not be easy or always fun. If you do end up divorced do not keep a sour state of mind forever and do not project your misfortunes onto others as if it is the only outcome of a normally joyous event. Carrying such a heavy chip on your shoulder makes you more miserable longer than you should ever want; it makes no sense to nurse it like a sore tooth. This too shall pass; your life is not over so do not act like it is and let go of your spite.

Not ALL women are that way! Stop being sexiest "Free Man"!
Mavier 2010-03-25
Um...
Something tells me that Free Man did not have a good experience with marriages. One must wonder why he is spending his days going to wedding sites and reading marriage vows then.
Free Woman 2010-03-24
Enough Already
yes, i know "free man" said some really stupid things(that i definitely DONT agree with)and yes, its weird that he would even come on this site anyway, but there are over 130 comments that are all about him! I say ENOUGH ALREADY! he's old news! Be happy to be married or marrying the man/woman of you dreams (I know i am!! :D) ...dont get sucked up in the drama of other peoples problems!
Soon to Be Mrs Smith 2010-03-18
run
To the "free man" ... did you forget that the shoe also fits on the other foot? Men can also be nagging and complaining, and controlling, just to make their friends jealous and appease their manly hood. As soon as we try to loosen your evil grip, you go out and find another "young" thing to try and control, but won't get into a legal relationship with, because you like to have your cake and eat it too. We work just as hard for our money as you do, so shouldn't we be entitled to HALF!!! So go ponder on this one and remember the shoe does fit on both feet, and don't you forget it!

Free Man is wrong
Free Man who says all men should run is wrong. I have been married to my husband for 54 years and we've had no problems so take that Free Man!
You're probably saying that because you've been unlucky in love!

You must of been really hurt by a woman, I would never take my mans money and run! that's horrible
ladytc 2010-02-20
Money means nothing
The man in which i will be marrying soon has no money, He is an average man in sociaty that i find to be anything but. I defenitaly dont want to appease my mother. And i dont care what my friends think. I dont complain or nag i ask for oppinion on my promblems and he does the same. Ladys and Guys when you find someone that you can have that with. DONT LET THEM GO. No matter what happends.
Lady in Waiting 2010-01-05
so sad
I feel for the Free Man, what an awful experience to go through. I do feel it's unfair to assume all women are like that. If we all meant the vows we take, nothing like that would happen. Commitment isn't fuzzy feelings, it's hard work...make it work!
grace 2009-12-09
Re RUN
Hahaha, you're funny, Free Man. You're like one of those people that buys a coffee, finds out it's burnt, and vows to never again drink coffee. Just because one cup was spoiled, that doesn't mean the next one would be. But now you'll never know if that perfect cup of coffee is out there because you won't give it a chance. Oh well, your loss.

so sad
not every person is a cheating whore. that goes for men and woman. I love my fiance and vise vera. i trust him with all that i am, and i would never hurt him. i have told him every single thing there is to know about me. even my deepest darkest thoughts and secrets. i wouldnt have it any other way. i wouldnt have any other person. i have waited a long long time to find this person. I have been in some of the worse relationships you can think of, abuse mentally and physically, rape...you name it ive dated it. Not until i met him did i really know love and sacrifice. Its sad people have to feel this way about marriage, it really is, but i understand it. good luck to you all.

Hey "RUN" ~ You are crazy. Just because you are a total loon, don't ruin it for the rest of us. Maybe if you stopped being so selfish and appreciated your partner, you would actually find someone who wants to marry you instead of RUN from you.
RUN is a nutzo 2009-08-31
sad
It is sad that nobody respects the sanctity of marriage anymore! If you marry the right person there is no better feeling in the world! Too many people rush in too soon because of stupidity! Marriage is one of the best things that has ever happened to me! Thank God for the creation of such a special union!

'free man' for your own information, i earn more than my fiancee. can clearly tell you have not found the one yet.well, not just women can run off, men also have a history of having an affair with younger women too!!!

No wonder she took half of everything you had. With an attitude like that she probably deserved all of it for putting up with your sorry self for any amount of time at all!
I'm thankful for my fiancee. She's an amazing woman who only continues to make me a better person and bring out the good in me!
Dave 2009-06-04
dont listen to the free man
not every relationship ends up with a divorce, as our society abuses the word love, the increases in divorces has sky rocket but not every relationship is the same...remember that. you dont have to run

Wow
Well, it sounds as though free man is bitter and has had some bad experience with the opposite sex; that sucks. I am going to be happily married so I don't think I will be running.

AFTER 28 YRS OF MARRIAGE- WHAT A SHAME.. ITS HIS BAD!! IF HE WAS ANY TYPE OF A TRUE MAN... HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THE MARRIAGE,BEFORE HE DECIDED TO LAY DOWN WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. TOO BAD YOU DIDNT DISCOVER THIS SOONER. YOU SOUND LIKE A VERY GOOD PERSON... HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE MOVED ON AND HAVE A GOOD MAN IN YOUR LIFE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.. TO THE EX-HUSBAND : ITS YOUR LOSS NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BETRAYED , YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE!! I CANT EVEN IMAGINE THAT YOU COULD EVEN STAND TO LIVE WITH YOURSELF.

SORRY FREE MAN THAT YOU FEEL LIFE HAS BEEN THAT UNFAIR TO YOU. IF YOU TRULY FEEL THIS IS WHAT MARRIAGE 'IS' , YOU ARE TRULLY BETTER OFF BEING ALONE. I GUESS I JUST GOT LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND A WOMAN WHO LOVES ME FOR WHO IAM AND NOT MY WORTH, SHE COULDNT CARE LESS ABOUT MONEY... FANCY HOME OR CARS... OR APPEASING HER FAMILY OR FRIENDS. I GUESS THAT GIVES ME REASON TO LOVE HER EVEN MORE. WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE WILL BOTH EVER NEED...........EACHOTHER
ALAN 2009-05-13
I understand Free Man..
I understand your cynicism, but I don't agree with it. I don't presume to know why you feel the way you do, but rather than telling everyone to "RUN", I say, "Choose Wisely". The pain Free Man is talking about is experienced by a man who chooses his bride recklessly. No, marry for commitment, not lust. Marry for forever, not until it gets difficult. Marry because your woman makes you a better man with higher values, not because she makes you feel good for a moment.
I'm 23 years old and I will marry my beautiful fiance in less than a month. I run to her, not away from her, because I have chosen wisely.
Jake 2009-05-03
excuse me free man
Obviously if you feel this way you were never really in love. When you tell men to run from the person who could truly love them it makes you look horrible and could ruin someones wedding day. How could you be so rude and immature yeah you lost money becuase you were stupid and probobly jumped into marriage. If you did not see how she apparently wanted to "lock you down so they have someone to nag, complain to, and also to make their friends jealous and appease their mothers" then you diddnt date long enough to know that you did or did not love her. So please do not be a rude,inconsiderate bastard when coming on to a site about a happy occasion called a wedding!

Hey Freeman, I come to look at all the wedding vows, as I am excited to be getting married and last thing I want to see on this page is you writing such terrible things. I am sorry if you had a bad experience, but even so real love exists in the world and I hope one day you find it.
Lovemakestheworldgoround 2009-01-08
sorry for your bad choices
So sorry that you caught the wrong fish. Let this be a warning to all men to make absolutely certain they are choosing the right bride so they are not put in this guy's position. There are many wonderful, good and unselfish brides out there with no agenda other than to find a good man to love and support. Keep a clear head as you continue your search for the right woman.

Marriage is awesome. Do not listen to Free Man. When you have surrendered your life to your wife there is no greater feeling on this earth. I say to all men, run towards marriage. As the Bible says he he finds a wife finds a good thing!
Love Sick 2008-10-19
Free Man no Man at all
Free man---you must have either cheated on the one you loved and she found out and THEN she took you for everything, OR, she just got tired of your dumb ass and then filed for divorce and took HALF because she figured it was owed to her for putting up w/ your ass as long as she did.

Wow free man, you really got hurt. Maybe you should see someone about it...pretty crazy that you are upset enough to make these comments on a "Wedding Vow" website. Kind of sad that you're that bitter. Good luck, I honestly do feel for you.
jen 2008-08-15
Wow
Personal experience, Free Man? You probably married a nasty woman. Marriage is nothing to run from. It just all depends on who your partner is and if you took the time to actually get to know them before the wedding. I'm sorry your marriage was a failure, but not all marriages will end like yours. You should've choosen better. The failure is partially yours. Remember that.
Open Eyes 2008-08-05
How silly and unfortunate
How silly and unfortunate you are, Free Man. Simply because your union did not work does not mean others will be so unsuccessful. Don't try to ruin other peoples experiences because you can't keep your own marriage together, talk about immature. The mark of a bitter man is one who judges, ridicules and tyries to take away the happpiness of others. Maybe next time around the great and powerful Oz will give you a brain instead of a broken heart.
Lisajeanne 2008-08-04
Sorry you have bad luck
Im truley sorry that you have been taken advantage of, but not all women want to tak advantage and take all your money and leave you broken. I know that happened to you, but there are some people out there, Like myself who hold these vows very close to my heart, and follow them and respect them, Not everyone does.... But some people do still,,,
Candice 2008-07-29

Response
I don't normally respond to these sort of things, but I was perusing this site looking for my wedding vows. I happened to look down and see all of these comments, and I felt like I should say something.
I used to hate the idea of marriage. I was set on partying, drinking, and living with no regard to my future. But I met someone who made me realize that our lives have purpose, and that purpose is to serve God. In the Bible, it says simply that marriage is made for a man and a woman to come together, choose to love one another every day, and to serve God. Two together serve better than one. This is what marriage is meant for. Yes, too often people get married just to get married. Celebrities and regular people alike tie the knot and then are divorced only a few months later. My uncle, who I love dearly, is getting divorced by his wife after ten years. But they didn't have God in the center of their marriage. If we all understood what marriage was really meant for, and married for that reason, then marriages wouldn't fall apart. God is love, and true love only exists with God.

RUN
To all those women out there about to get married run! Men just want to lock you down so they have someone to insult, complain to and to make their friends jealous and appease their mothers and fathers. as soon as you try to loosen their evil grip on you they notice and suppress you even more! they make it impossible for you to leave and start investing their money in untraceable accounts, suggest loans in both your names and then force you to file for divorce so they cant leave you with a penny. Remember you get half, half the baggage, half the debt and all the shit they put you through for the rest of your life.. May these words haunt you forever...till death do you part...and then some.

Get off this site
Free man, why are you even on this site if you are so against making a commitment to the one and only love of your life. I'm sorry that you haven't experienced this wonderful feeling but you don't have to go around to sites where happy people are planning their special day and spread around your pain and hopelessness. If you weren't so afraid of commitment you might be happy too. Most women aren't like that, we're bot all pieces of shit. Think about it.

Loser
To Free Man's comments in "RUN" Obviously, your taste in partners is as bad as your spelling (try learning the difference between their, there and they're). Just because you are a loser who attracts and marries losers doesn't mean anthing about the act of marriage - it just means you are pathetic.

do listen to free man advise. real men dont run like the punk free man.he must wasnt doing his part in his relationship.not every woman is like that their are some great women and men out there and i am one of them.
Future hajdasz 2008-05-04
WTF
Hey Free Man, you sound like an idiot. Maybe your wife left you because you were a bad husband. Ever think of that? Also, FYI, it's a proven fact that married men live longer than single men while the reverse is true for married women. So get over yourself.
BTB 2008-04-30
To Free Man
Oh Really? Well I'm looking up wedding vows to remind my husband of 28 years what he said to me when we got married in the letter I'm writing him telling him I'm divorcing him. See I just busted him in his 4 affairs with 4 women in the last 1 year and 9 months and in the process found out he's drained the finances with a crack addiction. Guess what I get half of? Nothing, he used it all in his little glass pipe and with his whores. I didn't nag him... I was too busy supporting him and taking care of the house and kids. My mother is no where around. SO STFU. There are good men and good women and evil men and evil women.

Too Bad
Dear Free Man,
It is terrible for you too say such comments...not all marriages will end up like yours.
Too Bad 2008-03-03
Silliness
Why, if you're so unwilling to be (re)married, are you searching on a website about wedding vows? If this is just a unique hobby, maybe you should try reading books, or origami, or something. You can rest assured that we all find extremely honorable of you to warn all unsuspecting men of the danger that is marriage. I'm guessing that by the time any man reaches the legal age for marriage, he's already heard some form of your comments, as we all constantly hear how women try to drag men down. (That's really why we wanted the right to vote; it's an evil woman scheme to take half of the world through divorce settlements...oh wait--shouldn't we already be entitled to half of the world?).
Silliness 2008-02-09
Happy Man
Dear Mr. Free Man,
I feel so sad for you. You seem like a bitter person who had one bad relationship and is poisoned forever.
My wife and I have been married for 10 years, after knowing each other for 8 years. We don't have any children & we like it that way.
Our marriage is a partnership & if I had it to do over again I absolutely would.
It is unfortunate that you had a bad experience but are you planning on growing old alone and by yourself?
It is wonderful to know that I have someone waiting at home for me every day and although we don't always agree ... who does? Friends have disagreements just like couples do.
I feel sorry that you have become such a bitter person. Not everyone is out there to take half of what you own and if you are so worried about that -- there is such a thing called a prenuptial.
To me, you sound like you may still have some growing up to do and maybe then you will be ready for a serious and committed relationship. You seem to be a really negative person and that is not going to take you very far in any aspect of your life.
Good luck in finding yourself & getting over the anger that you have.
Jay
Jay 2008-01-25
what a sad little man
"Free Man" is clearly imprisoned in his own living hell. He is sad and pathetic. If his wife really did leave him, then it's not hard to imagine why. Given the fact that he feels the need to bash all marriages and all women, he will clearly continue to lead an unhappy and lonely life.

Hey free man
You sound like a bitter, angry person. I sure would not be married to someone such as yourself. My motivation for marriage is totally voluntary with no reservation. My fiance is a warm, giving man. I am blessed.

Marriage is a beautiful thing. "Free Man" must have been burned. That's too bad. He's missing out. Marriage isn't about the material things. I am getting married next week and we may not have a bunch of extra money, but we have eachother. That's all we need. True love.
