Why Bother With Marriage? 

Exactly I like an easy life and I can get stress at work for free

The point of life is to spread your genes and advance the species. If you fail to do this, then all you have achieved would have been for nothing.

+Lucifer Morningstar So a person's life has no meaning if they don't have offspring? I disagree and there are plenty of other humans having offspring. Personally, it's just not for me.

Or the wedded can choose not to have kids or get into debt, really cuts down on stress

+Lucifer Morningstar That is fine for the majority but my life is more about having a good time. See as many bands as I can, read as many books as I can and climb as many hills as I can and leave nothing behind. I do not even want a headstone. It will be like I was never here.

Don t touch my dog

My dog (my grandmother's dog, but I visited every Sunday, so it was like having my own dog) passed away over a decade ago. So good luck getting my dog, divorce lawyers. God isn't gonna just let lawyers take dogs out of Heaven, lol.

Bad Ass Marriage is the worst thing anyone could ever do

Bad Ass usually the women are happier than the men because they have one dude on lock down and can use his money. Men are way more miserable because they are in bondage. Why any man would agree to get married is fucking beyond me.

do you know anyone who doesnt complain?

Mostly the men complain cos it's shit beyond shit

Abso-f#ckin-lutely!!! High five!

I think people need to find out why marriage is so incredibly beautiful and important and it's value. Marriage isn't just a piece of paper

@@JU-ki9wb in that case people should marry without the piece of paper.

My friend is going to be married this fall. I asked him why? And he was like why not? Everyone is doing it but it's really stupid unless he's big religious christian which he's not. It's really just about stupid expensive paper nothing more nothing less. Do I need a paper to be friend with someone? I know people were marrying for centuries but now it just feel like wasted time, money.

@@alexandersebela370 every woman knows in her heart that when you marry her she gets enormous security in multiple ways including but not limited to financial, social. She will never consciously think about it that way nor will she ever let you think that way. And if you do think that way she would probably either leave you or convince you to get married

@Yogesh X i know but this time it's turned around my friend Is pretty poor and he found rich girlfriend maybe that's why, he's male golddigger :D

Wow, you're wise, that one too is my favorite. The right one is yourself, everyone does change overtime that's why marriages are unnatural.

I agree that the phrase is not realistic but everyone doesn't necessarily change for the worst and people don't change to become a completely different person to who they really are.

I murdered the right one a long time ago so that I'd never have to admit to having met her. (I'm kidding- the honest statement is that she never existed). Single and happy!

@@deydraniadiancecht8298 Murdered??!!! Check your spell checker lmao

@Shorty I agree with that, people tend to change no matter what the circumstanceand it's true women have divorce and family courts in their back pocket, if they want equality give that shit up.

Same here,

Me too ❤

You're right, marriage is not the problem, Divorce law's are... women know this or learn it from......who?

amazing a comment that is actually intellectual

Most people in relationships are not whole with themselves. If two people are whole with one another and are able to be fine with being alone, trusting, focusing on the good,to be aware of how things are, and trying to improve on the bad in the relationship together. Then there shouldn't ever need to be conflict in the relationship. It should just be happy times without the need to find someone so called "better".

Marriage should be decentralized and community centered. The government shouldn't get involved AT ALL with people's personal lives. That means, no alimony, or child support, or welfare checks if you get divorced. There should be NO inherent incentive to get divorced.

@@oldmanjinkinsskyrim737 Well you don't know the condition of my household. Of you knew it you won't be making this statement.

+The School of Life That still doesn't mean there is an entire industry dedicated to making profits out of destroyed relationships.

Exactly and for that reason alone I urge everyone to steer clear of marriage. When assets bought before a relationship has even started to get included as marital assets there is something wrong with that industry.

Exactly!

+misfit then get a prenup

lavishgirl Prenups get thrown out almost all the time, they are rarely worth the paper they are written on.

Same with school and jobs. Parents especially bitch nonstop how much they hate it, then wonder why their child doesn't like school or their job.

This x1000000000.

Then don't get married, but how can you back up what you say without having been married? Answer, you cannot, so you make things up like a little child.

@@jimgallagher5902 you sound like you fell for the marriage trap and now you're miserable lol

@@jimgallagher5902 Maybe you should READ what the person said. "EVERYONE: being married sucks" Meaning EVERYONE who is married is telling him "it sucks! never get married" A wise man learns from his mistakes, a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others. Now as for me, i've been through two major relationships (7 and 10 years) most marriages don't even last 7 years, so when I say marriage sucks I speak from a position of experience. I can tell though that you are the type of person who will just reply with some lame attempt at an insult cause you really have no point to make, just wanted to point out the flaw in your logic, or lack there of.

I think marriages just like yours are wonderful… And I think we do as humans need companionship. I think the issue is that nowadays there’s so much challenging the institution that it’s hard to find what you had. People are constantly moving onto the next thing with dating apps that are in their phones, they get divorced the second something goes wrong, and there’s been institutional imbalances with women and men and things like divorce. I think the question is how can we find companionship without all of the modern day headaches? Because as humans we need companionship like what you had :-)

Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to being married, it's something I definitely want to do. I watched this video so I could see a different perspective and enter the union armed with more than the fantasy that is usually portrayed. Sharing your life with someone and growing with them is a beautiful thing. Nothing beats life-long friendships, and marriage is probably the life-iest long-iest one there is. Lol why are all these other people so bitter about it? Why are single, never been married bitter about it? I suppose going into anything with the wrong/unreasonable expectations will always result in unhappiness.

@The 1995 Stoic It's 2021, it's not just women who are responsible for household chores. It's fair they're split up. It's my opinion though and I ain't going to be touching any dishes if I get married. Yet again, marriage is overrated anyways. Especially with guys that think like you. Maybe some women don't mind doing all the housework, but I do. For all you know I'll probably be the main bread winner if I get married. I mean I'm already running a business now while in school.

@@angy101rulz I'm happily single, self-supporting and no kids.. I do my own dishes and my own laundry. Problem solved and alimony avoided. 😊

This is a brilliant insight, and I wish I could "like" it more than once. Most relationships are an easy way to gain validation for our imperfections and buffer us from the painstaking effort of knowing we aren't all that special and that most of our attitudes suck and need improvement.

But it's always the wife who finds something to complain about. No matter what you do.

No women is ever single. Who filed for divorce? :)

Maybe you could help me out then I feel nothing but anger and resentment to my ex and its been more than half a year now yet I still sometimes feel like complete shit... I remember the times I had with her and how she's now with the guy that she literally straight up replaced me with and I just start boiling from anger I don't even care about her, I would never even want to be with her again but for some fucking reason I can't let go of the betrayal that I feel...

@@NakedAvanger Betrayal was what shook my marriage too. But I never felt angry because in my heart, I always believed that I was in no way less than the woman who replaced me. When you feel you are in no way lacking compared to any other person, you slowly allow strength and healing to enter. This might not come about overnight. But try visualization in a calm frame of mind. Project your own completeness, regardless of anyone's action or attitude. And more importantly, even if you do not feel it strongly at the moment, mentally affirm, "I forgive this person, and I choose to move on. I have a better life with better people and better experiences waiting for me. So I am going ahead with my journey." Forgiving and projecting kindness on the ones who hurt us is the greatest tool there is to feel incredibly empowered. You got this and you can do it! Although my post says 'a few months', it took me a year and a half to even be able to function. It takes time. Be gentle with yourself.

​@@NakedAvanger The truth is Whiskey, people often have mixed desires and intentions, It can be hard to know what to want and what to do, this is why there is so much overlap between being with someone, and being with someone else, It ain't nice for the person left behind, but it is an understandable conundrum, It can also be hard to know if what you feel is resentment from the fact that you were replaced, or the fact that you were left, at the end of the day though, they are really the same thing. You cant blame someone for not wanting to be with you anymore, nor can you blame someone for promising you forever, for they really believed it at the time, these things are often learned in hindsight. But there is something that I do know that is often learned later in life, Love changes, the thing you thought was love at the start fades, you become the same person, their body is your body, and with that the attraction leaves. What is left over, determines whether or not you really were in love with each other in the first place. You can still love her, but you cant be in love with her.

That's because it is

@@diomerda111 Sure, in a lot of cases. I guess what I mean is, you can set yourself goals but never account for other people just because you want them included.

Depending on where you live, you could still be subject to common law marriage.

marraige for me has been bliss. Sorry you can't find it that way

+Leanne Marie Would it not be bliss if you were together without state recognition of your union?

yes it's state recognition but for my husband and me, it's been far more than that. We view marriage in a spiritual sense so marriage is sacred. Our faith binds our marriage and there's so much meaning to it and that's why my married life has been bliss.

So would it have still been bliss had you gone through the ceremony, proclaimed your vows before church and god, and not signed the legal state document which is secular and has nothing to do with faith and spirituality?

I'd actually beg to differ. Recently I was listening to a psychology podcast about how a guy figured out that when we limit our choices we become more satisfied with the choice that we do make. Marriage is that limiter. The scientist who came up with this even put it to the test and married the woman he was living with for years and is much happier than before. Of course, it does come down to the relationship. I hope things can improve for you

This.

the idea is that that complaining period you describe (called the power struggle stage by psychotherapists) is eventually resolved when you learn to love the person for who they are without trying to change them, and they accept you without trying to change you. Then you enter a period of stability and the relationship improves from then on. But many couples can't move past the power struggle stage either because they are fundamentally incompatible or because they give up too soon or because they don't understand these stages and how to ask for help.

So you’re saying that married people should live in different homes, maybe see each other a few times a week.

👍

youre probably muslim. im not taking anything from a muslim. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t wanna work that hard

Ah, so it's your worldview of "humanity is cruddy" that prompts this. I disagree and can think of several examples of long lasting relationships w/o marriage that degradates this line of argument (David Letterman for starters). However any other "institution" that has a 50%+ level of failure with such devastating results for those involved would doubtlessly have been raided by the FBI and closed for business by now.

Also, that highly indebted bit? Check your own video at the 1:56 mark.

I was quoting that statist myself until recently. Divorce (at least in the US) is actually closer to only 1 out of every 4 marriages. As for the making it hard to leave bit, I kind of view it as school. It is probably going to be stressful and we'll want to quit at different points but that doesn't make it bad. It just makes it a difficult thing that, if approached right, can be very good and maturing for us.

I get that Dallas. I see that view point and have considered it in the past, but I can't come around to it. Not given the immense strain divorce inherently puts on most people. That's not even to mention BAD marriages (think spousal abuse) that continue because of expected behavior. As a kid, I had a friend, who's step-dad was abusive to her kids (my friend), openly cheated on her, but she didn't divorce because, in her estimation, "it wasn't what God wanted". With regards to the divorce rate, we could spend long hours into the night discussing the merits or lack there of of various methods, but while 21-22% of those who've EVER divorced (not including married/divorced in multiples which is statistically higher) I do go by the cohort measure rate (which can itself be picked apart 100 which ways) which takes trends and applies them to today. Quoting the Univ of Denver's Scott Stanley "It represents a sophisticated projection of a calculated risk, much like projected life span for babies born today" Heck, if you really want you can take the refined divorce rate (marriages ending in divorce within a given year) then it's only 1.9%. But I'll be fair and make a small retraction as that rate has fallen in the last several years to 40-50%.

"Can be" and "Is generally" are two entirely different ideas. Human nature can be incredibly dark and depraved. Human nature is generally well-intentioned and forward moving.

Why do we associate reckless behavior as "romantic"? Is it more "romantic" to sleep with someone without protection and end up pregnant when nobody wants that? It's non sense to glorify stupidity. "We're gonna love each other forever!" No, you fucking won't. It's like saying "I'm gonna win the lottery!" Sure.

Agree. Marriage has also been called a 'social safety net' after a certain age, and I do think that's right and a major factor in people's decision to marry, if not a subconscious one.

I think you have nailed it. I think loneliness is the real reason. The rest is all PR.

Yea but you can just be in a relationship then. There problem solved

No. It's called human nature. Question what has removed you from it?

in my country, people get married and have kids so that when they get old they would have a "life insurance/caregiver".. they treat their children like they are their insurance or caregiver. "hey you should chose us your parents, your lover can be replaced, but you cant replace us, we are the ones who replaced you, so the money you are saving for your future, just give it to us help us pay the bills and pay for our medical bills, don't save"

either she drinks the pill.....or you wear trojans.

What's ur age?

it will be if you get divorced. You dont have to share your pensions, assets, house, cars and other possessions when you break up with your girlfriend. If you break up with your wife the government is giving her all of that plus your going to be paying thousands more in alimony and lawyer fees.

Don't lose hope. My father abandoned my family for some harlot. But I haven't lost hope in Marriage, it depends on who else in your life you should look to.

Another thing I have heard is that it is best to marry young so that A your less set in your ways and B You'll be more likely to listen to elders advice on marriage than if your older and more likely to think you got it.

I thought I would do the world a favor by devoting my mind to learning. I sought to expunge the world of religion, it all looked like a self destructive conglomeration of useless teachings from the men of the past trying to explain the world around them. We should be devoting our energy to more useful things, right? Science has figured it all out, right? I was disturbed to find that everything was more complex than I guess I had originally presupposed. I couldn't stop in my quest to know more as much as it hurt me. ...then what do you know...I came to know Christ! The sun rose and slowly illuminated everything, knots became untangled, dirt and dust was cleaned up, a certain pain ceased as I felt filled right. I can't describe it without sounding crazy, but I've been ecstatic ever since. Any pain I experience now is almost nothing when compared with the darkness that once filled me. Sorry if this is too much...understand that I am passionate.

@@BarryWillBuck if any religion or philosophy helps you keep your sanity , I'd say it's good for you. Many people hate religious beliefs but I think if it gives you clarity in life it's worth it.

Just be with someone who has the same mindset or at least someone who respects your mindset.

Most people will marry cuz they think they have found the right person & that they love that person so much that he want to commit himself or herself to the person for good so probably its an unconscious will, but when things turn bad it doesn't mean that they are bad persons or evil or that they 'deserve' costly divorce or whatever ... anyway I believe that marriage still here today cuz it's our very pure human nature ... marriage is & has always been the cornerstone of human existance ... though I don't think I'll ever get married ;)

+ahmed said I disagree that marriage is a cornerstone, historically it has been important to control reproduction and females and to regulate exchanges and relationships between groups. Only in the past century has the character of marriage changed, now the only reason is supposedly love, but I don't consider marriage a demonstration of love, I think that idea is absurd, love isn't demonstrated through marriage in my opinion. If you love someone, you should just be with that person and share your life. I don't consider marriage necessary for that.

+T3MP0 You dont need marriage to demonstrate love ... no you dont in most cases I agree with you ... however, WE as a society do need marriage, you see when I said marriage is a cornerstone I meant that A family which is a result of marriage is the very basic unit in any civilized society that without it things could get pretty chaotic & unstructured in a way. this is why I'm seeing that marriage & family in the way we know it is the cornerstone of our existance.

Yes, family is a building block of any society. BUT, different cultures have different ideas of what marriage implies, and even, of what a family means. Our western culture nowadays doesn't necessarily need people to be married to be a family. That's why I think marriage is obsolete, the ceremony, the tying yourself to another human being forever, the money spent on it, the hardships of divorcing, all of that stuff is not necessary. We don't need to get married. Families we need, marriages we don't. I don't mind things being "unstructured", they are the sign that things are changing. When the structures you are used to living in change, you are obviously going to feel they are chaotic. But I think it's positive that marriage is being revealed as to what it is: a fraud intended to take all of your money away and bring you a shitload of problems that are not necessary to have. Sure it can give you happiness, but so can being with the person you love without being married. I just like to think about how easier would lots of lives be if people could just separate themselves when they can no longer be together. This, of course, if you don't have children. If you have children getting married is necessary because it is a sign of compromise and that you are committed to be under judicial scrutiny if you don't care about your children.

your fucking stupid, this imganiary thing called "marriage" should not be the thing that dictates if you stay loyal to your partner.

Or if they insist on the legal bind, they should be free to sign a contract, but not the marriage contract which imposes government rules on your relationship. They could negotiate the terms of the relationship and consequences of leaving it, and then making it an official contract. Still way more reasonable than the traditional method

my thoughts exactly

This is good

This is great my family did the same made me feel guilty for being single now I'm married and miserable just like going to college because my parents told me to now im in student loan debt

children are awesome! but most women on the other hand. nah I'm good.

So bad that they made a TV show out of it called "Married With Children." Yup! Just ask Al Bundy.

Never met anyone who regretted having children, Met plenty who regretted not having them.

@@kerryfoster1 Are you sure about that? I've met way more older people who regret not buying their dream car or booking a once in a lifetime world cruise than those who say they regret not having kids. Who gives a shit about kids? Can kids make me money? No? Then fuck having kids.

@@soumyaagrawal1758 why do you say that?

Fatal Wreck Exactly. If you're feeling like you're being enslaved if you get married than don't do it. If you love someone so much you would do anything for them do it(yes there is a chance you might divorce or she might cheat on you but that's true commitment). Why is this so complicated for everyone?

You two are so logical I feel like I found my soul group lol I feel exactly the same!

@Fatal Wreck: Damn straight =)!

There is noone that is not made more happy by being loved and accepted. And feeling secure in that they will continue to be loved an accepted, even if feelings change.

Do it if you want. But be educated on the pitfalls of divorce for men. So many people get married for terribly naive reasons and thus the divorce rate is around 55-60%. Of that number around 70% of divorces are initiated by women. And they'll take half your shit, the house etc etc If you get married, the odds are THIS WILL happen. And this is why I will never marry.

Jesus, how many bowls did you smoke in order to make your completely erratic comment?

@@jimgallagher5902 Give it time as you're pathetic hateful and childish comment will backfire on you when you get divorce raped in the future! All marriage really is, is putting your signature on a piece of paper! And signing your shit over to your partner....So by your logic...if you haven't signed a worhless piece of paper...You don't love your partner? Are you insane or what?

@@jimgallagher5902 stfu with all those comments ur making. Bastard.

Yes your right, not worth the risk.

Marriage is unfair for the man.

I can tell that the commenters who hate marriage are the losers in the same. Sometimes good guys get screwed in a marriage, but much more often guys, like my brother, can't keep their dick in their pants, and then the woman, rightly so, rejects him. The opposite happens as well, but neither is a reason not to get married, but it is a reason that, if you are GOING to get married, to choose your spouse well. I did and I am experiencing wonderful, fun, enjoyable times, and I have been married over 20 years. Look, guys marriage is not the enemy, but picking your spouse based upon breast size is a loser every time, and this is what too many guys, like my brother, do.

And why didn't you know all this information? Plenty of men have known it over the centuries, and either went ahead of avoided marriage.

Nope, it is not. If you are a loser, and/or your wife is a loser, marriage failure is 100% your fault. If you look at facts, which is the last thing mgtows do, you will see that divorces and other marital issues inevitably arise out of choosing a mate to marry for dumb reasons. My older brother married a woman just because she lived in a very nice home, in a place he could not BEGIN to afford, and for no other reason. This type of idiocy is why most marriages fail.

40% of marriages end in divorce and I'd be willing to bet that over 50% are unhappy.

Which means 30% are happy living in a monogamous relationship, so by all accounts it not that an uncommon fufilling way of life.

***** Without them it can hardly be considered life.

+The School of Life that's true, but you don't want these moments of unhappiness to come from a relationship, since they're already so frequent in other parts of your life like work etc, and you can't avoid not working, so at least you can control the relationship part of your life.

No I was anti marriage at school and gets mentioned when family meet up that I have never deviated from this point of view and held it even before I had a first girlfriend.

I am not anti marriage just anti marriage for me. My parents were married for a long time and only death separated them but I have been against the idea since school so your evaluation is incorrect. I have never been married so I have no issues with it in the way you mention. I just don't hold with many traditions. Marriage, Royal Family, Religion are for me all outdated concepts. They were for the previous generations but not mine.

agreed

+john mcintosh No I speak for myself but I do think there has been a shift away from supporting traditions like monarchy, religion and marriage and statistics bear this out.

I have literally zero reasons to get married. Just why, to make it hard to leave? That's not a recipe for a happy relationship
