I Don't Believe In Marriage. - Comments

@ God of Winter
Exactly. I don't even understand it. I thought marriage was forever but this is crazy.

The only good thing about marriage is health benefits. For me, anyway. I knew a couple who were together for 10 years. Had two kids. Got married, then got divorced.

I honestly don't find being married all that appealing. I will get engaged. But that is all. You can be engaged forever (don't even need a ring) ... and if you split, you split. No divorce. No taking someone to the cleaners because you're angry at them.

Then there's the religious aspect. I won't go there, because to me religion is a HUGE deal. I believe what I believe. I respect others, but I also want them to respect me enough to at least not argue over who's right.

So yes. Your blog = <3

Besides, I hardly see marriages lasting beyond 3 years now a days. It's ridiculous.

And sorry if I'm just repeating what everyone else said lol. I coulda just said I agree but.. lol.

That's a smart lady. And that's also a reason. Especially if kids are involved.

I don't think marriage is necessary. At all. Some people like getting married and uniting two families in the ceremony. I understand that and it's a nice way of thinking about it. But when one pressures the other into marriage it's not right and honestly, I don't think that person loves the other like they say they do otherwise they would be respecting their opinion and view. A compromise would be promise rings or a ceremony that's not official like a wedding is but has the same premise. Marriage works for some and not for others.

The whole idea about marriage I'm mixed about. Honestly I think it's easier just to be boyfriend and girlfriend that way if the relationship goes downhill you can easily break up with each other instead of having to go through a lawyer, papers, court, and money for a divorce. As for them saying they'll leave you because of that to quote Adriana Lima

"Men have to respect that this is my choice."
"If there's no respect that means they don't want me."

Very interesting insights. I don't like the idea of the government being involved in the relationship between two people either. I don't see the necessity of a paper to prove that two people are committing to each other. It seems cheap and it's really none of the government's business who we want to be with. On the other side of the argument, I admire people that do want to be with each other for as long as they live (supposedly, who knows...divorce is so prevalent today). I do see that marriage is a symbol for our society to join two people and their families. I think that's why marriage is important---for lack of a better word, it's "lovers" upgrading to "family members."
