I do not look at dates as potential marriage partners. I looked at dates as potential relationships. After/during a relationship I would consider whether or not they are potential marriage partners. IE are we right for each other.

It is likely I would marry again.
This sums it up nicely for me too. Thanks!

Sort of, but not to a great degree.

My practice for dating is that I consider all persons "dateable" unless / until I uncover a deal-breaker. Now, I have a number of deal-breakers, so I will screen out most people.

I don't need to marry, or have it as an important goal, and with there not being much difference in the criteria I'd use to select someone for a relationship versus being able to marry them, I just assume that if the relationship is successful anyway I can find ways to get past the few differentiating deal-breakers.

How do you see yourself organizing your life if you don't marry?

The same way I have for the last 20 years: by working reasonably hard to live as well as I can in a reasonably responsible manner.

What if she had far more money, but required you to wear a gps device with sound and an occasional video feed? I met someone who did that to her spouse and he went along with it.

The device of which you speak is called a "Smartphone."

It does this and also stores your music and lets you day-trade from everywhere and even send infernal text-messages, should you be so inclined.

It is surely possible to have the ability to share your location with others, automatically. And I for one would have no problem with doing so with my partner.

The efficiency gains are obvious - I can see when my partner left work, and thus start my Potatoes at exactly the right time, without the need to call and ask ... "Effeciency gains, dear" are always an attractive thing.

***

I saw a headline recently about a woman who drove off the road and was stranded for nine days - a situation likely to be fatal. Had she had her phone informing her partner, he could have taken the last known location (and course) and either gone to fetch her or asked the police to check the spot and route for a DV.
