The most important event in your life.

I'm with Jim on this. I've had many events I thought were important, most proved to be ill advised and wrong headed.
 

So many life changing events it's hard to pick one as they all changed my life... Marriage (3 times).. birth of children, divorce, widowhood, losing parents.. changing careers... on and on.
 
Gee, QS! I've been married 3 times too! Those events were sure life-changing in one way or another. Also of great significance was the birth of a daughter and a son. Having some wonderful pets. Finally getting an MBA degree at age 40. Most negative was brain tumor which destroyed my pituitary gland...big life-changer! But I try to stay focused on positive life events.

AS, others have used the letters DH, referring to their spouse, I'm not familiar with this abbreviation, what exactly does it stand for, I'm guessing dear husband? Also seen SO, which I suppose means significant other.

I must commend you on your belief in marriage. After one or two, I'd be inclined to forget it and just live together without the legal document.

DH dear husband. SO significant other. OH other half.

Living together was not an option with this marriage. I'd never have been given a visa to live in the UK. Besides, first marriage I was 18 and stupid. Second one in my early 30's was just a really bad choice. I'd wised up by this marriage at 48.
 
Thanks, AS, I don't have any opinion either way for what anyone chooses to do re marriage, nor am I questioning your choice. I think we make the right decisions for ourselves, even tho others might not understand the rationale. I see that marriage can be the most practical decision and its not always based on a romantic notion. I hope I don't sound too jaded on this subject.

I don't care if people live together or not. No big deal. I could not be this man unless we were married - no visa. Simple. And I liked that I was finally marrying somebody I actually loved.
 
The most important event in my life:
The day I envisioned death as a dark, unknown chasm, and finally realized, no plant, animal, or human being will live forever.
Strangely, this realization has given me a sense of freedom and serenity.
