Marriage is overrated

**FOXXIE** · 06-21-2008, 03:13 PM

I dont see the point of getting married at all..................

**jehst** · 06-21-2008, 03:14 PM

financial reasons. also, it's hard to raise children alone.

What are you talking about? Marriage is great. C'mon you get to sleep with the same woman for the rest of your life. You get to constantly share all of your ****. You get rid of all the annoyning closet and drawer space. You get to broaden your horizons by watching emotionally charged movies/shows that teach you how to connect with your emotions. You get to give up all those nasty friends of yours. You get rid of all those time wasting hobbies. You get to eat foods you never thought you'd have to. You get front row tickets to first class bitch sessions. Quite honestly, I can't think of one good reason you should not be married.

no one that says "i love you" even has the slightest idea of what love is. love is a very powerful word, and shouldn't be used unless you know said person for YEARS.

You can do all this without marriage... fail.

Yeah it is.

Marriage is a failure these days, religion is becoming less of a power house, and thats a big reason behind marriage, rid yourself of religion, and marriage seems useless, rid yourself of tradition, and you'll be free forever.

yup financial reasons. like if you two wanna buy a house together and are trying to pay it off. he or you might die, then the other one is left alone to pay off the house. if you are married you get a bunch of money from the life ensurance which you could use to help pay off the house for example.

also if kids are there, it would be even more difficult if one of the salary is missing all in a sudden in case of death.

also you two might have lived together for 20 years for example, raised your family and bought stuff together, if one of you dies... his evil parents/sisters/brothers might want to take his stuff, that you two worked hard for away from you... etc....

**The Experiment** · 06-21-2008, 06:17 PM

It can work for some but not for others.

I think marriage works well if the partner is lock step in goals. Especially financial goals. Warren Buffett wouldn't be as rich as he is today if it wasn't for his wife, Susan. Why? They had the same goals in finances. If Warren Buffett married some 19 year old Miss USA contestant, he probably would be lucky to have anything more than $1 million to his name.

While most people will never get a chance to be anywhere near the Buffetts, both partners need to have the same financial outlook. Finances play a major role in marriage so this needs to be fleshed out before before the man gets on one knee. If she doesn't appear to have any discernable goals or working towards them, I would never expect her to support anything I did. I know so many couples that have radically different outlooks of finances. I've seen a couple that was saving for a house have it squandered by the dude who just needed that 42" Plasma TV for sports games. I've seen couples where the woman blows all her disposable income on shopping sprees and doesn't think about the next month, let alone the future.

There are two types of women out there: enablers and disablers.

**dunkonu9** · 06-21-2008, 06:21 PM

I think you just continue to let as many guys as possible PIITB. your awesome.

**Billy_Loomis** · 06-21-2008, 06:22 PM

Cos happy marriage= happy children.

Single guys = most heavily taxed

Also their is an incredibly higher percentage of households in the U.S. where both spouses work full time to support the family than 30 years ago.

With the probability of divorce or separation near 70% for all marriages (US), a man has to be functionally insane to marry under today's laws and a drooling idiot to sire a child.

95% of businesses fail too. by your logic, no sane person would ever start a business.

**T2TL** · 06-21-2008, 07:40 PM

No it wouldn't. Feminist extremism only took over the country about 40 years ago. It wasn't always so.

My experience with marriage....

I have been married for almost 25 years (Sept) to the same woman and I am very happy. She had to go on an overnight business trip the other day and I was lost without her. Everything I own was not worth a darn thing without her. The big house I live in was so empty and lonely without her I could not even sleep. I was thrilled when she got back home from her business trip.

When she got home I ran to the door and I held her very close and covered her with kisses. I kissed her face, her forehead, her cheeks, her nose, her neck and nibbled on her ears. Then I gently kissed her on her full pouty lips long and slow. Next I held her head softly, touched her face with mine, cheek to cheek very tenderly for many beats of my pounding heart, and then I kissed her again long and slow on her soft lips. I whispered in her ear how much I loved her, missed her, and was so happy to have her back with me.

Once I got her things in the house I helped her get out of her clothes and put on her favorite pajamas. Then I rolled back the bed covers and helped her get in bed and I covered her up with a soft blanket and kissed her on the forehead. I told her I loved her and said she should get some rest. Then I shut the bedroom door and let her get some much-needed sleep. She was still sleeping like a baby when I went to bed later that night. The next day we made love like only long time lovers know best. It was tender and sweet with the intensity of an erupting volcano. Afterwards, we collapsed in each other's arms satisfied down to our souls.

She and I went out on a date today (we have never stopped dating) and had a wonderful trip to a fine restaurant. We had a fine meal and truly enjoyed each other. She is my best friend and lover. Every day with her is a gift. Lying in bed (no sex) and holding her close to me with her soft skin touching mine is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. I hope I am blessed to die before she does because life would not be worth living without her.

When someone tells me that "marriage is overrated", I just look at them, think of my wife and smile.

You can have this whole entire experience without being married, brah.

Oh and she wasn't on a business trip
