"I wouldn't want to get attached to someone and then they get infected and have to be put down"

"I think reproduction would be much more important. Marriage would be a luxury, you need to reproduce in order to keep the human race alive"

"Edgar, Thank you, and i agree with your point as well as Daniel's concerning Family & Surviving together. As much as it sounds romantic fighting against the world and simply wonderful that for once you can do whatever you want without…"

"I think in a world overrun by zombies marriage would be the farthest thing from my mind. That doesn't mean I wouldn't seek out companionship in someone eventually, but when the undead are attempting to rip off my flesh, marriage rates…"

"I'd get married in a heartbeat - my girlfriend's awesome, and she'll survive just as well as I will. When it comes to the "repopulation" thing, I would like to wait until we have a safe, stable place to do it - it would be…"

"Or "Zombabies," as I prefer to call them. ;) Interesting points here, and while I agree on principle with most of your comments, especially in regards to stress levels messing with women's cycles (which I had not previously thought…"

"It depends on which level of human instinction we have gotten to. In the early stages of the Z-poc War, there is no time to start mating in order to bring more people to the world. When Z-poc starts, women should already deal with their hormones.…"

"we won't have government to tax the act of getting married (ie marriage license)  anyone can perform the ceremony of marriage, so, if a couple wants to acknowledge their commitment to each other to the world, a layman could do it or even…"

"If you hadn't already met and married your "soul-mate" then you probably are going to have to wait awhile to meet him/her. Fighting zombies & raiders and staying alive will probably take up 90% of your time, so hanging out in…"

"Marriage is just a word...  You can be "married" without having the title."

"not me. might hold me back. z-poc = no god pity. and therefore any marriage would be a mockery of more serious shit at hand"

"Having re-read the initial question, I'm thinking more about the timeframe for a virus to evolve into something capable of producing sentience in its infected host.  We're not really talking about zombies evolving; we're talking…"

"I think some form of basic comunication might develop. Since it is usually an infection it might take a long time for the infecting cells to evolve to the point to where they might be able to call out basic things to each other. currently however it…"

"My best guess is that the virus (or bacteria, or potentially the fungus in my personal favorite scenario) alters the frontal lobe of the brain, where the body's motivation centers are, hence the zombie's obsessive focus on feeding. …"
