Could you live your whole life without ever getting married?


Marriage is just way too dangerous for men these days
If you ask me they should revamp marriage laws because at this point they are just stupid
For example they kind of made sense way back when divorces were rare and women we're stay at home mothers who would have a difficult time making a living but these days women have jobs as well and can make money for themselves and divorces have became a lot more common and laws that used to work just fine are now just becoming some destructive mess ruining marriages and preventing them from happening
Basically for men to get married these days he must trust the woman so much he's willing to sacrifice his financial security as well as half of everything he (at least half) and quite possibly the ruining of his entire life with whatever sketchy pull out the woman might come up with
I know I sound like I'm being paranoid and this is illogical and doesn't happen but unfortunately I'm not being paranoid this actually does happen and yeah the situation itself is rather unlogical because the law just doesn't work anymore
People these days don't even know what getting married is. Marriage is between man and woman, but it's also symbolic, for example.
Revelation 19:6-9 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

As for specifically the question, I know what the laws are, what it actually says in the bible not brainwashed by false Christian preachers and can't marry a woman unless she believes in the true word of God, which these days were always in short supply. I can only pray, but Jesus 2nd coming is close. Will I have time?
Last time I checked Maslow's hierarchy, getting married is not an essential function to live or survive!
Honestly, the notion of getting married has never appealed to me- even when I was a kid and other girls were discussing their "dream wedding."
Me as a kid: I just want to be rich and happy.
At this point in my life, I'd be content finding a stable reliable person- not necessarily a partner, even decent friends, to share my life with! Marriage does NOT equate happiness.
Yeah sure, I don't mind not getting married and I don't even wish to be married.. I would still do marry someone if everything fits but it's not a must.
I just wish to have this true love experience, may it even be for a few weeks, months, years or forever i don't care but other than that it's all good 🙏🏼

I think I want help around the house but I can hire employees to do that if I don’t find a husband.
Many laws regarding relationship and/or parenthood are outdated. Of which many typically screw over males in the courts. Which means more males are opting out of long term relationships and/or parenthood. Once they hear how badly other males got screwed over by the counts. Plus if you live with your partner in a common law marriage area. Some of those have a type of divorce for that if the breakup goes badly. Also even cohabitation can be risky for a bad breakup because that can require getting a court to help evict your former spouse.
You can in my opinion. But most people want to get married in some point in their lives. Or they meet someone they wanna spend the rest of their lives with. So they end up getting married. But I think you definitely can live without it if it's not something you want.
How relevant is owning a guitar in todays world?
What about going to amusement parks?
Playing video games?
Reading a book?
Buying a house?
Of course I could live my whole life without getting married, but would I be happy though? No.
To me its not just paperwork, its a promise to stick with the person.
I think marriage is just some unnecessary paperwork stuff that's designed to ripp you off in the end. For me signing that paper doesn't do any good for any relationship because love isn't suppose to be documented and archived
I don't wanne be "married" but ofcourse I'll be more the happy to give my girlfriend the whole experience of a traditional wedding of she wants to but I would do it unofficially then 🙏
If I ever got divorced, I would probably never get married again. That's not to mean that I would never date again after divorce. So yes. I might say that, if I never found the right person to marry. I would never get married
Yes. I’m against marriage, I don’t want to risk marrying someone just to break up later. I believe I can having a fulfilling relationship with someone that isn’t dictated by a state or legal institution if that makes sense !
I'd gladly do it if my other half's parents wouldn't approve. Nothing they can really do if their daughter refuses to leave my side. And or is willing to run away with me.
Yeah, I might regret it in the end with nothing to leave behind. But I’ve also accepted that most people in this day and age probably won’t find a partner.
Yeah probably. I mean I would definitely have family badgering me about it, but I could live with or without getting married
Yes, I would like to, but if I didn't it's not something so important that id be laying on my death bed regretting it.
Easily. And I believe it is still very relevant, albeit for different reasons than it was previously.
Sure I could, but sometime eventually I'd love to have my own kids, soooo no marriage would mean adoption most likely.
No I want marriage and to raise kids. I want to share my life with a man who loves me. I know thats old school thinking but it's still the desire of my heart.
Absolutely. It's easy. All I gotta do is never propose to anyone and boom. I'll never get married. Besides, why the fuck would I want to be miserable forever?
No I could not live my whole life without getting married because I want to have a family experience. I have wanted to have a family since I was very young like 10. I know I could still have a family without being married but it's not the same.
Yes I could. And fortunately I'm not forced to get married.
Before marriage I thought I could be single forever but now that I’m married I can’t imagine it any other way.
I could because I am a survivor but I have been married for 26 years and it has been mostly good. I think it is still relevant.
Yes.. I could date.. I think dating keeps women more honest. Marriage keeps men more honest.. so I could do without marriage.. unless I found the perfect girl
I guess not since I am married. I’m not sure why anyone would want to go through life without a mate. Marriage is a public and legal commitment to someone. Shacking up isn’t a commitment when it is way too easy to just walk away without consequence.
I suppose I could have. But once I found the man I wanted to spend my life with, I wanted to marry him.
Good question. I do want to get married but I also like the idea of just leaving if I'm not satisfied.
In today's world, marriage tends to benefit the females. Guys have the risk of getting divorced and losing 50% of their stuff. Worse if they have kids.
Easily, though am engaged so will probably get married in future
I’ve been asked twice by two different guys and I had said no to them both. Luckily so I haven't regretted it once.
Well I have gone 44 years so far. I'm sure I can go the rest of the way on my own.
At this point in my life yes I could go without getting married
I think marriage in america in 2022 has no benefit for men. Especially if you consider family courts.
Yes. I'm not religious. I don't believe in all that stuff. You don't need all that and a paper to prove your love..
I don't want marriage, but, really, I don't want a wedding, if that makes sense
Holy shit yes! Marriage has changed from a bond of love to a contractual agreement.
I've done it so far, and it hasn't bothered me one bit.
Yep i’m currently living my life without doing a lot of things so it is what it is
Nope. Marriage is a very important and sacred thing in my culture.
I don't know what that would be like. Women can't live with them can't live without them.
Of course i could. Marriage doesn't benefit me in any way so its not something id wish i did
Relevant if you want to spend your life with someone.
"MOST" religious people still believe marriage, otherwise, it is just a piece of a contract/agreement
legal marriage hell
no
biblical marriage im fine with
I want kids so I wanna get married
Marriage and family unit = very important for a healthy society
That isn’t true at all. Marriage and a family unit are only healthy for reproducing capital for the capitalist system.
Having a communal family is way better and marriage is still a heavily socially constructed concept. People should be allowed to experience love in many different ways that aren’t bound by rules a state makes
@caitycat21 WTF are you even on about. "family unit are only healthy for reproducing capital for the capitalist system." I don't know what retarded liberal arts degree you got but Strong family unit benefits children which need to be loved and educated (and not with CRT or whatever bullshit you have learned) Because when they're not they end up being fucked up in the head and played like a fiddle by media and governments KINDA LIKE YOU.
Also a "communal family" would still be a family unit you bimbo, though not my preference is better than nothing.
"People should be allowed to experience love in many different ways that aren’t bound by rules a state makes" Sound like what a pedophile would say.
This is hilarious you’re trying to accuse me of being a pedo when you called me (a minor) a bimbo?
Also by the way, the family unit you praise so much was literally manufactured by governments to secure capital. Unfortunately you’re to inept to consume information that doesn’t suite with your fragile world view. Lol
Yep. It's just a piece of paper to me 😂
Well, I have so far, so I think I'll manage it :)
Im doing good as of now.
Yeah, it's not like I'm gonna die if I don't.
No, I don't want to die a virgin and with no kids.
I guess I can. Not sure, but I'm about to try tho.
No.. I would want to at some point
Yes but i want kids. So i need a man for kids lol
Yeap that's the plan
Yes I can live..
Yeah.
Absolutely
I am already married
Yeah I could
maybe
Probably yeah
