If you will die and be born again, will you marry the same man or woman again?

Hello friends and Lotters, Celebrating anniversaries of years in marriage and still happy? I know that there are a lot more women here in Mylot and even much more out there who have this achievement if you could say that. I don't know the numbers but definitely they will all agree that it is one tough accomplishment. I know that too well, because, this year marks that milestone in our lives as we reach our 25th year of being together as husband and wife. Someone asked me more than a decade ago if I would die and be born again, will I still be choosing to marry the same man all over again, and my answer was - YES without second thoughts! It wasn't a life of bliss, not even near sheer happiness all the way but I would say, it was a fun ride together. There were bumpy, stone-flecked jerky roads along the path but we have managed to overcome those rough times and the better part is that the good times totally out numbered the bad. I believe that we are fortunate enough to find happiness in each other despite the hard times, I don't know but I'd like to think that maybe because we kept the faith in God and in one another. Today, if someone asks me the same question, I will no doubt be answering the same and I am ever so willing to stay on with him until the Lord decides that it's time to take us back home to Him. What about you, if you would die and be born again, will you still marry the same guy or girl all over again? I'd like to hear your thoughts. Pleasant day to all!

To be honest I would not get married to any one if I came back again, as all men have done to me over the years is let me down all the time and now wishing my life was a lot better and I know if I was single it would have been better.

Hi Stary1, Thanks. I agree with you when you said 'never say never'. Anything can happen and when it does, you can't say no everytime.

jugsjugs I am sorry to hear you had those experiences. I would just say 'never say never'...you just might someday find 'the one' who will be better than all the others.

Bluebelleangel Congrats ..and I think you are so right in saying it's just important for the good days to outweight the bad. Many naive kids feel marriage should be happiness all the time..it just doesn't work that way. Seems the more a couple has to go through together, the better off they become. Reminds me of the saying..what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

Hi again Stary1, Thanks! At some point in our lives we really have to go through tough times to know how much we have and learn to treasure every wonderful moment with our loved ones and those things we've been blessed with. Thanks for the thoughts and have a pleasant day!

Hi Surekharathi, Thanks for your response! I'm sure in time, your husband will get over being the shy one. In this world, it's amazing to know how love could change a lot of things in us for that one person we love. Have a nice day!

It's hard to say. Perhaps your husband of this moment is your brother or neighbour or teacher in an other life. But if everything would be the same I would stay single. Go travelling, perhaps have 1 child, alone.

Hi WakeUpKitty, Thanks for your thoughts. Maybe a lot of people would really rather stay free spirited to have the world in the palm of their hands and have the freedom to do just anything they want. It may be a good choice for some but for others, they would rather be committed to someone for life, and I'm afraid I'm one of the latter. A pleasant day to you!
