its not creepy but if the role players want it that much i say give it to them

Hehe, this is the "English" perception of a marriage, it is a business model!

A marriage can be that, but it is a LOT more than that.  Every day of your life will be changed, forever, and you don't know what you just start.

It is, as the french often describe it...an "adventure".  A journey.  Just learning to know the other person in itself is a LOT (and definitely the most interesting part), then you have to face both problems, raise kids possibly, the diseases may strike with various level of severity...and there are compromises on compromises affected by other compromises.

I am not a wise person, but for me, it seems very important that even after the wedding, both loves never take each other for granted, this is the main reason why I would request always to have 2 bedrooms...and hopefully use the 2nd almost never, but eh, at the start especially and when it isn't going well, this other bedroom would serve it purpose.  Most marriages which end poorly, 1 took the other for granted for any reason.  You don't catch a bird, you have to deserve it presence, everyday, marriage or not­.  Now, it doesn't has to be hard to "deserve" the other, as the other should also want to "deserve" you...but if needed, there is at all moment, a 2nd bedroom.  :)

The wedding is not a final agreement, it is the first compromise!  In a long list of wonderfull compromises.  :)

That is also why I can't take wedding seriously in a MMO.  If I get married 1 day, then all my MMOs character would be married to my sweety half, no matter if she plays or not...however if she plays 2 characters... :P  *grin evilly*  And what about the fact I always play female characters (which would tend to look like her from that point, I am that silly)?  *bonk*  gah, that would be getting quite complex, especially that I play many characters most of the time...  :P

Kudos for a great idea.  Couldn't agree more.

in my opinion, marriage system is not so useful for a game because i think it may be a tool which makes abruption for a couple...for the friction in gaming or another person...

maybe you force the guys to be such losers lmao..

First off noone is responsible for someone acting like a loser other than themselves... Anyhow marrriage is so awful because you lose your independence when you get into all that.  It is like a contract that says" ok come take over my life forever" Which honestly I think totally sucks for both parties.  You lose your freedom to do what you want when you want and always have to schedule everything around this other person. If marriage were truely about love and not insecurity it might not be so bad but honestly most people get married because they are afraid of being alone rather than happy with themselves.  They have this fairy tale image that everything will be wonderful from then out when if it wasn't already that way marriage is just going to make it worse not better, not to mention that you are probably messing up a good thing the way it was before. I don't understand why so many guys these days see a happy independent  female and want to trap her. ....Sometimes the worst thing you can do in a relationship is to worry about the future of it .. just enjoy it as it is.One thing mariage is not is fun.. it is work alot of work.. but some people I guess like that kind of drama... and in a game... why someone would want that kind of work when they are supposed to be having fun? that is beyond me LOL!!!
