Why Do People Get Married?

Well funny anyway, lets not get ahead of ourselves

 

curiosity about what it might be like to be for the first time,
exagerated insecurity the second.
of course some times there is genuine affection.
also if there are children involved, there may be some sense of responsibility too.

 

Going to the chapel and we're goooonnnna get marrried

Your right about the reason except for one tiny detail. I won't be marrying a man! Simply not female. My avatar is misleading I realize. I apologize for any confusion, but that isn't me in the picture. It's a picture of a girl I liked. Her glasses are sort of psychedelic, I think. Thanks anyway.

 

I love that tradition of spilling your blood into the sea! Awesome.

And I agree with you about the sanctity of marriage. And what a wonderful commitment it is. I too have a post on all this, and I tried to explain to the detractors, and, again, like you, was met with some very negative and even hostile comments from those who denied the tradition of marriage.

Don't let these poor souls get to you. I didn't. Just see them for what they are.............

Secretly envious of guys like us. The vast majority of women who speak out against marriage only do so because they had a bad one, or they really want to get married but haven't found the right man. Or...that right man has not asked them. LOL

Peace, my brother.

 

Sorry 'bout the confusion.

You really like that girl?

LOL

The avatar? I dunno...everytime I see her I want to punch her in the face. I'm not sure why she has that effect on me. I'm not a violent guy and have never hit a woman. LOL

Cheers.

 

not like as in "i know her and think she's cool" but I think she's cute yea. Lol!

 

I like the avatar lol. It's the face I make when someone tries to correct my bullsbit.

 

She looks like a first class douche nozzle to me.

I don't even know who it is.

What's bullsbit?

 

i thought she was caught on a fish hook?

 

id consider getting married just for the car insurance discount

 

probably as many different reasons as there are different people,
but either insecurity or responsibility or both, are at the root of probably more then half of them.
or just zombie like adherence to cultural or religious traditions too.
which not saying any of these are always bad either,
just not always good either.
few marriages are ever the best partnerships for each other.
but if they have the kind of affection that can survive being tested by endless variations of the real world,
that probably as good as anyone is ever going to get.

 

Marriage is the dumbest thing going these days.

 

because how else will you posture to you single friends and make our your life is better than everyone elses?????

 

its fairly obvious that most women are in it for the money

https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmajohnson/2014/11/20/why-do-so-few-men-get-alimony/#5c184ed454b9

 

Roughly 800,000 new divorced females are created every year (going by a statistic I just saw that more than 800,000 couples get divorced every year in the US)

So the 400,000 women you claim are "most" women are actually just half the divorced women from one year, indicating that there are more divorced women who dont take alimony than who do. If you take into account even just 3 years worth of divorced females, so 2,400,000 women, 400,000 would be the minority of women. Granted the rate of divorces does change year to year and we have to take into account gay marriages as well so these are just estimates but still


Therefore your claim that most women are in it for the money is faulty and cannot be supported by the statistic you cited

Lawyered.

also if 40% of households are headed by female breadwinners that would indicate the rate of men who are "just in it for the money" is increasing compared to our parents generation!

and you didn't post a statistic indicating the divorce rate for households with female breadwinners. Perhaps the divorce rate is really low (because kept men know when they got a good thing, yall)..which would explain the low rate of men seeking alimony

 

....and thats exactly why id marry you...love that sass <3
