Why the fuck would you ever get married?

I dont understand why anyone would ever get married.I dont know a single person that is happy with their marriage and my one buddy that acts like he is cheats on his wife all the time.Divorce,child support,drama and bullshit is all that seems to come with tying the knot.So,why do it?
 
People love each other and that's a way of expressing their love for one another in the most perminant way. Or supposedly perminant.

But I've never been married so I can't speak from experience....

I can never see myself getting married i just would not stay faithfull no way !
 
I'm a romantic, monogamous guy. I wanna get married and settle down some day, I enjoy the idea of stability.
 
In some cases it's about wanting a family, becoming a dad. With some people the commitment of marriage is the first step. In my case my wife wanted the to know through marriage that I was committed to having a family.
TBH my view was that having a kid showed far more commitment than marriage, but I can understand the feeling.

Hi, I am Pauley. Now you know someone happy with marriage. She is the right one for me and we have been together for 20 years now. I understand what you are saying tho'. What we have is very rare, and I know how lucky I am. I can't imagine going through life's journey with anyone else- that would probably end badly.

I wish everyone could have what I do. The world would be quite awesome. :D
 
I dont' know why anyone would ever get married, I see nothing wrong with living with your partner and having children out of wedlock, as long as the couple takes care of their responsibilities it is not a problem, I don't mean to offend anyone's religion but IMO Holy Matrimony is a man made concept that causes more harm than good nowadays but enough rambling

Man,thank you.I say the same thing and people look at me like Im crazy.I want a child or two.If me and the woman dont work out,oh well.Ill just raise the children the best I can and not worry about getting raped in divorce court.
 
Some people actually love each other and want to have something that they feel signifies their spiritual bond they have between them. The reason seems pretty simple really.

You have to find the right woman (hard to do but totally possible!).

I've been married 31 years to the most wonderful woman on the face of the planet. My life would be empty without her. She's a fantastic wife and mother. She's my lover and my best friend. I can't imagine my life without her. I pledged myself to her and her to me and we've never had a single second thought. It gives your life a purpose besides your own hedonistic desires. To live and dedicate yourself to a soulmate and your kids (and then grandkids)....well, it is simply awesome. We love each other unconditionally and our level of trust is beyond question. I cannot tell you what a comforting feeling it is to know that you have someone in your life that can absolutely count on no mater what. I'm the luckiest mother-fucker who ever lived.

Otherwise, you will likely grow old and be lonely and miserable without any specific purpose to your life other than your own selfish interests. What a bankrupt existence that must be....can't even fathom it. I feel sorry for anyone who has to live that way.

Go for it if you are vehemently anti-marriage but I wouldn't trade what I have with my wife and kids for ANYTHING.

The destruction of the nuclear family is a MAJOR reason that this nation is so fucked up now. My wife and I have raised a son who is loved and knew that his parents were bound together by a covenant that you just can't attain by simply "living together". He's well-adjusted, has both feet firmly grounded, a great job, isn't into drugs or alcohol. What a great sense of accomplishment it is to have raised such a terrific human being as my son!!! There's no way that happens if my wife and I weren't rock-solid for him as he grew up.

Y'all can say you will take care of your kids if things don't work out between you and your significant other but it isn't that simple. You're asking for big trouble if you don't set the proper example for your kids to aspire to.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't at least try to attain the same degree of happiness that I have been so fortunate to find in my life. Believe me, as you grow old, you will greatly regret it.

Look at my avatar and signature and that is why:tongue:
 
Im not knocking you or anyone else that is truly happy with their wife,but what percentage of people actually have succesful marriages?Im going off facts.Having children out of wedlock doesnt mean your a bad parent.My co worker has 4 kids and a wife that he cheats on all the time.Whats worse?

Well I don't think you can get worse than that don't get me wrong nothing is perfect but I'm am happy that that is a blessing and the reason I say that is we take care of each other and one thing I would not do is hurt the person who gave their heart to me that is something I would not wish on my worst enemy I don't know how they could cheat:2 cents:
 
i've been married for more than 30 years, she's my best friend, great sex whenever i want, she cooks three great meals every day for me, cleans house without complaining, irons my shirts, treats me like a king, we never have big fights and only occasional little arguments which we quickly resolve, we raised three healthy wonderful successful children and have two adorable grandchildren.

would i trade that for being single, falling in and out of love, worrying about STDs or finding someone for sex without having to pay for it? uh, no. :2 cents:
 
The problem isn't marriage, it's people taking it too lightly. That's why our divorce rate is so high. People look at marriage as more of a right of passage, something they are supposed to do as they get older; instead of seeing it as the true commitment it is intended.
 
Marriage for the most part is a status symbol anymore. Not saying there are not genuine ones out there who married for proper reasons. Anymore it is just something to do. Heck, go watch Underaged and Engaged on MTV, or whatever that show is called. Yeah, I know, but that alone goes to show what I mean. So many people rush into marriage it seems, before they know it they are signing wedding papers and a few down the road divorce papers.

A lot can be said about it.

I would like to be married some day, maybe, but I am in no rush for it. If it happens it happens. If not, oh well, it is ok. I would hate to go through a divorce. For now I am happy, so, yeah, indeed!

Why not get married?

People that actually love each other and have functioning brains make a marriage work. :D :tongue: :hatsoff:
