But the original poster started off saying marriage is out, it's not an option, he's not interested.Having a wife you love will keep you busy and its been said you live a longer life. You're more likely to fall into depression or get some disease like alzheimers because your brain isn't as active like when you have a partner around you.
BTW, being married keeps you more agile/light footed as well. You get that way from continuously walking on eggshells.
