[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like others have said, many marriages end up as parenting marriages if you give them enough time. It's always better to do things with intention than to just let them happen, so coming to an explicit agreement that you're going to have a parenting marriage seems like a good idea.

Historically, marriage has been about raising children and shoring up finances. [b]The idea that people who have been married with kids for 10+ years are still going to be like horny teenagers is specific to modern America[/b]. It's also crazy and does a lot of damage. Somebody upthread said that thinking this way is wanting life to be like a French movie. Well, life is more like a French movie than it is like a cheesy rom-com.[/quote]

There’s a lot of space between a sexless parenting marriage and horny teenagers!

I am a realist about marriage.  But I still expect some love, affection and occasional sex.

What OP is proposing is sad and I don’t understand why she so badly wants to be married or why she thinks this is good for her child.  [/quote]

Yes, I agree it's sad. However, it's not that I want so badly to be married. I honestly think it's better logistically and financially for DC for our family to remain under one roof.[/quote]
