I’ve done marriage and I get it. It’s someone everyone should do if only for a day. It’s very quaint. There are of course men who recommend that guys should take a shortcut and marry someone you hate and give them a house. It’s truly a one sided institution. Highly over-rated. Hugs Gaz

...if you want to be institutionalised. As for me, I've already flown over the cuckoo's nest twice and love my freedom. If I eventually get lonely I'll get another dog who will love me even when I stagger in smelling of scotch and cigars! Once bitten twice shy... three times ain't never gonna happen unless Nigella Lawson calls and doesn't ask for a dumbass 'ol prenup agreement! 🌹❤️💰

Marriage of any descriptor is a bad idea in my mind... A mere piece of paper has really no affect on a persons free will... - Posted from rhpmobile

Blind date off the internet, I shudder to think 😕 Re marriage, I won't get married again but long term partner would be nice if the planets ever line up. That's the thing though, so many aspects make those planets line up and things come to light along the way, some of those things are dealbreakers. Even a second date can be all revealing. For me, absolute no to all of the above, never have, never will

a defacto relationship that was more loving and committed than my marriage ever was. Would never do marriage again. LC.

We all know the types to go on those shows are generally seeking attention, and social elevation through that attention. I’ve done a blind date. Her damn dog pissed on my shoe 😂 - Posted from rhpmobile

I would do it for my curiosity sake 😛 I really want to know what’s the deal behind the scene, and whether or not the TV production company would really pay for people to do the show. And if they do, why not pick up some easy cash while adding a new chapter into my life journal 🤗 I could do it because 1) life is all about experiencing and learning, and I’m a curious child that likes to challenge the impossible; 2) I have nothing to lose from doing it, so why not 😜 I did not have any arranged marriage, but had blind dates and let’s just say I won’t do it ever again! Too risky and stupid in a way, as I put my own safety, even life, in the hands of the unknown! 😬😬 - Posted from rhpmobile

Entrapment doesn't appeal for me... I've always been one who likes to see what I'm getting beforehand . That way if I don't like what I see, I can do a runner...

I had a blind date a week before I turned 17, my friend and her boyfriend at the time set me up with his friend. 22 years later we are still together and have been married for 17 years. I would never marry someone I had never met (or slept with) first!! - Posted from rhpmobile

I think I am more a long term partnership type , defacto or whatever. Do agree ML...the wanna bees on the show appear to be in it for just them self , not a lot of thought for their new partners...its all about the Wedding not the Marriage . I do feel a little sorry for the genuine ones who really want to meet the One, the matchmakers seem to put a lot of obstacles in their way to overcome. Dont think it should be that hard....but then again they want the argy bargy to make a "good show" I suppose.

Blind date yes. Married at first sight no Play on first sight yes 😁 We talk about being 90 in the old folks home telling each other jokes and remembering the times we had fun in our 30s fucking each other and other people like rabbits. We can’t see anything but us being married forever. But a piece of paper shouldn’t and doesn’t stop others from feeling the same in Defacto relationships. - Posted from rhpmobile

I love being married. I love being my husband's wife. I adore my husband and have done since we were in high school and id never have it any other way. Maybe I'm terribly old fashioned, and I'm fine with that, but I've always felt all warm and fuzzy and safe in the "institution" (for want of a better word) of marriage. It just works for some couples and not others. - Posted from rhpmobile

I'm no expert on it, of course, but I've never understood the point of it...the need for it. I've had one relationship that could have been a forever one...and we both lived it day to day as if it wouldn't end.But it did. And we went our separate ways. Simples. Why complicate things with formal documentation? Unless it was necessary to stay in a country, though. One of the few good reasons I can think of.

... I might have dodged a bullet, going by the comments here! 🤣😛 So nope, not about to walk into that trap! 😜 Besides, if marriages amongst ex-good friends can deteriorate, much less a marriage between strangers. Unless... both are committed to making the marriage work, in spite of and despite, for better or for worse. 🤔

Even when i was in a relationship of 27 years. Most little girls dreamed of getting married but not me. Probably down to my entire family getting divorced at some point. I most certainly couldn't do it at first sight or a blind date. - Posted from rhpmobile

At the risk of becoming unpopular that show looks as ridiculous as all the other 'reality tv' shows out there. I suppose people watch it for the same reason you slow down at a car accident. The ones getting married are all as crazy as each other and I guess it's entertaining to watch pathetic people get matched up with other pathetic people. I've seen the ads for it. Everytime that Troy guy opens his mouth I cringe - Posted from rhpmobile

seems to be more the go for RHP'ers I was just curious about the whole Married @ First sight thingy, find it hard to get my head around it. Sure there are the ones who just want to get on tv...become a D grade celeb. Not sure if its worth all the trouble they go to for their 15 mins of fame.

Your right ... not every marriage is doomed for failure.. So refreshing reading your positive on this topic . Seems you and hubby found the right recipe and even more so seeing you guys found your way here together. 👍 There seems to be quite a few here where marriage did not quite work the way they would like ' including yours truly. But that doesn't deter me from applauding those who did . 👍

There was the guy we met through the personals before we found RHP, lol. You could say he was a blind date I suppose. We had a hot time that night. Repeats didn't live up to the initial promise though. So, no happily ever after though he did have a fetish for wedding dresses. And the shows along the line you mention Ruby, we catch enough on Gogglebox. Peachy

I must say as a rare TV watcher I’m kinda into this season of the show. Would I sign up to it ? Sure why not, I clearly suck at dating and pick the wrong guys. Can’t hurt for someone else to do it for me lol Life is about experiences. I’ve been married once and now currently experiencing divorce. I believe in marriage and if I met maybe the 1 (take two) I would. I enjoy being a wife and what that means in a relationship. Blind date: yes. Was set up by a friend when I was on holidays. Turned out to be a holiday fling wasn’t bad. I once also met a telemarketer, back 18ish years ago. He rung and rung a few more nights in a row we chatted it was fun. And meet sight unseen. And wow, talk about hot guy and fun!! - Posted from rhpmobile

When I met my other half (almost 22 years ago ) I knew within a few minutes that we would marry one another. We are still together and this year will have been married 21 years. It has worked for us. We have enjoyed many great adventures together, as one. Had 2 beautiful children and changed continents. Here is to the next 22 years - Posted from rhpmobile

For us marriage is about commitment to, and life long bonding with, another person. A long term relationship where recognising, respecting, and caring for each others interests and desires are just as important to you as your own. It's a deal and a true long partnership with another person entered into because you are bonded and committed to them and that matters enough to you both that you want to face the trials and tribulations of life together. It is about knowing that you want that other person by your side to hold your hand while you face life together whatever joys and challenges it, or they, bring. It is not a fairy tale or some fix all word that will make you live happily ever after. It has nothing to do with ownership or control and it is all about choosing to share your journey together. The word marriage does not need to be the defining element of any relationship and that same commitment and partnership can definitely exist long term without couples deciding to use the word marriage to frame it. After all it is the bonding, commitment, care, and respect that matter and if you don't have those then marriage is just another missunderstood word that you may have mistakenly decided to apply to your relationship anyway. Marriage is not meant to be game show for the amusement of bored spectators and the tv concept of getting married to a stranger at first sight is so demeaning to the 15 seconds of fame starlets who participate.....but the fact that they are there is evidence enough that they don't actually understand the meaning that the word marriage has to those who are truely married. I think we already know about how well that is going to work out long term for the vast majority of the participants in those shows, but watching a train wreck in slow motion is morbidly entertaining despite the horror so it should have great tv ratings and McDonalds will pay well for the advertising space..... A free serving of McMisery with every McMarriage sold this week! So would we get married at first sight to a stranger? Well, we didn't and no we wouldn't because it is so arse about that it is crazy. Thankfully having been a bonded committed couple for 26 year so we don't need to. Do we know people who got married to a stranger and it has been a long term success as a loving and committed partnership? Yes actually we do! We have neighbours who we have known well for 10 years as our children have gone to school together and they were an arranged marriage put together by their respective families. Not our way for sure, but from everything we have ever observed they are both very happy, loving, commited and caring partners who have as successful a marriage as we have seen. But while they did not decide on their partner initially their respective families appear to have put a great deal of thought and care into making good choices for them so there was nothing random about it and it seems they did a pretty amazing job of it for both of them. A marriage, or any relationship regardless of what you like to call it, is what you both make of it and how you work together as a couple. If a relationship doesn't work out it doesn't really have anything to do with the word you used to describe it!

Oddly enough I was just thinking about this a day or so before the topic popped up. I don't watch the show, can't stand reality television, but I've seen enough snippets and ads to get the gist of it. I clearly suck at finding someone suitable, maybe a TV producer will have better luck? I have started to think about doing it for real...I've got nothing to lose by doing it and everything to gain. And who knows, if it didn't work out with the person I was set up with I might attract a little fan base that includes someone that really digs me??? Of course that would mean dating someone that watches reality TV shows
