That's my whole point on the Declaration of Love. The state has nothing to do with it, neither do strangers. In my case, I want to show her off to my friends and family - to people that really matter. I don't care what society wants. The only way I will marry is that she tells me flat out that she wants to, and by looking at her parents (separated without marriage), it's not likely either.
Here's my question: Why record a relationship to complete strangers? Strangers don't care if you're married or not. The state needs to know who's having a baby and who's dying for the census, which is constantly updated. There's the difference. And think about it, cavemen and women marrying? They were primates, too. Their thoughts would have been on daily survival.
That's different. That's for the state as a record, same with death certificates. But why does one need a piece of paper to say "Hey, this is my life partner"? And yes, I DO blame religion - the oldest enterprise of this world. Because you and I both know that "god" is invisible, untouchable, you can't smell, taste or hear "him". It's said you're not supposed to start sentences with "and", "but" or "because" but I did it and I'd do it again because it's MY perogative.
I was fearing this but I think it is religion that is between us. I've just seen a passage from 1st Corinthians Ch.14: "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." Why? Because it says so in a BOOK? Women should be free to make up their own minds, not be told what to do.
I said monkeys as they're the closest animal to humans, I could have said tigers or deer or frogs. I agree we don't live like animals but my point is that you don't need a piece of paper saying you truly love someone, all that really matters is the love. You show people you really love them by actions. Would you imagine being married to a complete stranger? It used to happen, it still does in some countries. Muslims kill their daughters if they don't marry the person of their father's choice.
Where is the assumption lol? It's a well-known fact that society exists to to make us all part with our money and control us. The wedding industry is part of that, just like going to your local supermarket. From a naturalist point of view, human beings are animals and animals by nature are polyamorous, yet with true love you forget all about polyamory. This is science talking through me, no assumptions. Do you see monkeys getting married? No, AND they have 97% of the same DNA as humans.
To a Brit, you're all Yanks. Watch "Green Street" with Elijah Wood if you don't believe me. And it's OK for women to say "I love myself more" - like in "Sex and the City" (I saw that in the cinema because of my ex), but not for a man? And when have I talked about TV? I don't even own one! I'm not influenced by the media, I'm using the media to prove my point. Society is the biggest hypocrite ever. Marriage is an industry. Women should have freedom, too, but are oppressed by so many things.
Do you see how society is biased towards women? Live-ins being treated like a married couple, so if things go sour after a certain time she is "entitled" to half the assets. To be honest, I don't care what other people want to do as long as it doesn't involve myself or (at this present time) my girlfriend. Marriage controls, love liberates. You help me understand how society thinks, you're like my Agent Smith haha!
Don't get me wrong, I love her but I love myself way more. She can complain to her female friends if she likes, this is how I want to lead my life. She has 2 choices, stay or go. You want security, that's fine. I want freedom - in every sense. And it's funny how you talk to me as if I'm a Yank (yes, you are American but you're not the only country in America), I'm English who lives in Nicaragua and my lady is Honduran, so in my case it doesn't matter how your country does things. Simple as that.
I will not be a "sell out", marrying for money, whether there is love or not, is just wrong. I simply believe that marriage is no longer needed, I'm not afraid of anything. Pre-nup? Nope, pennies to lawyers. Dress fittings? A fountain of dosh for dress makers making a dress for a woman who will wear it ONCE. See? All of it is geared towards other people getting their hands on your money.
Statistics don't lie, unless they're fudged. And what media influence? It is what it is. You're adamant I'm not against weddings, the truth is I am (otherwise I wouldn't come up with an alternative). I believe society makes it more than it actually is. How can a wedding be free? You have to at least hire the registrar to perform the ceremony. Society gains more from weddings than the actual people involved in them.
How many more times must I say it? My example is NOT a wedding. What I am against is needlessly putting yourself into debt just to "make it official". And then there's society's bias towards women in divorce courts. Just look at Heather Mills and Paul McCartney. Another thing, these days you can "secure the family" without the marriage. You can never say never, but the possibility of me marrying is 1%, if that.
This is not a wedding, it's a Public Declaration of Love. No signing papers, no exchanging rings, no booking churches/registry offices/etc, no military operations of Napoleonic proportions for planning, no dress. All it is is a gathering of loved ones declaring mutual love and faithfulness.

I never disagreed with you on that I just said telling women it will help them find a husband is misleading because it won't help it will drive away good men but it will make her feel better aboutherself which is good but I feel it was presented the wrong way
It's society horse manure. You can "make things official" by getting your friends and family over one weekend, and declaring that you love each other and want to spend the rest of your lives with one another. It's more practical, and more fun if I'm being totally honest. No stag and hen parties, no honeymoons (every day with your partner should be a honeymoon anyway). In summary, some advice: don't be normal. In fact, I'm going to ask my girlfriend now...
And once again I agree this is great advice for women if,they are virgins and have not had sex if they have been sleeping with guys its to late for most of the, and its OK to say it but the fact that you don't acknowledge she is presenting herself as something.she is no she is tricking the man into a relatiinship and putting a higher price tag on a lesser product your failure to aknowlede it is offensive
Once again I fully understsnd and tho she is not intentionally tricking a guy if she has had sex in the past it is exactly what she is doing unless she discloses this imformation very early. Sorry to burst ypur bubble but a desierable man will not tolarate this
What I'm saying is that marriage is not the only option. No-one HAS to get married, it's society that makes a young girl dream of all this "I'm a princess wanting to marry my prince charming" nonsense. Very romantic, but 999,999 out of 1,000,000 just not true because it's talking about perfection, and perfection does not exist. The best way is LOVE, without rules and without "the game".
What does jealousy have to do with anything? And who says you HAVE to get married? And no, I'm not missing out on anything because I have the person with whom I want to spend the rest of my life. And honestly, I destroyed the other men for her sexually. Quite frankly, if I want a game I either go outside and play with a rugby ball/tennis ball and cricket bat or turn on a computer game on the PC.
Yea I agree with jay I also belive marriage and all that is a young person thing and most wo,en are not wife material even if they change their ways but I think the article os great advice for a fifteen uear old girl but a girl making a guy wait when others didn't seems to me like it similar to extortion amd that's not cool
