POLL- Do you believe in marriage?

Question

I don’t believe in marriage. You can be married and then divorce which is same like break up but you need pay costly fee to submit divroce then it’ll take months or years to finalize & you are stuck with guys last name. Most people I know cheat during marriage. So it’s not true just cuz you marry the guy will stay forever with you and never cheat. I don’t believe you have to marry to have kids or move in with guy. What if you never get asked to marry? Then you are stuck with nothing. Why be stressed many years wondering when you will marry when you can easily start your life now with your partner and have children? Only lucky people get married at such young age. They are ignorant not everyone has destiny to be married super young live perfect life.

I think we all want love, in one way or another, but at the end of the day, marriage comes with a price tag for all parties involved.

Think about it, being single, you are in complete control of your life, your choices are your own. Once in a relationship, you are obligating yourself to now weigh every choice against the perceived wishes of someone else.

Get married, and now it's an obligation and if the man can't make it work, he's screwed for half, and if you've had kids, forget it, you will be painted as a terrible parent, terrible spouse, a monster who deserves to pay most of his paycheck so his ex can raise his own children to hate him.

Yeah, go get married and roll the dice.

I believe marriage can work out if both don´t go into marriage blindly and are willing to fight for it. Marriage is more committed relationship by making it a legal contract but that doesn´t mean that it´s the right thing for everyone.
Like I come from an area where marriages worked and hold for a longer time but I´m not naive to think that those couples didn´t prepare themselves.
Marriage isn´t something one just does, it´s a decision you make while being aware of all its side-effects and consequences.

Here, when you get divorced you can changed your name back as part of the divorced, not stuck with it at all.

There are benefits to marriage though, beyond the fact the government penalizes single people by making them pay more taxes (I know I'm resentful there) but in order to add my partner to my health insurance, need to be married. To use flex spending, need to be married too. There is lots of little things that just won't work if your not married.

Divorce also is only bad if people make it bad out of spit, I've known friends who simply signed the papers and walked away easy enough, less than a 1000 dollars and done.

If you are going to be committed to someone anyway, that marriage certificate will protect you in many cases.

If he dies, or becomes incapacitated, you have no rights to collect his paycheck or make medical decisions on his behalf without that marriage certificate. No access to his accounts to pay any bills he normally takes care of, etc... (Barring a legal power of attorney, in which case, why not just marry.) Any of his assets would go to his family / heirs, so that could put your living situation at risk depending on those relationships. I think if there is no family, his assets would go to the govt?

I believe marriage can work for some people. I'm not saying I'd never get married I just think it's over rated honestly. Especially in America people get married and divorced in a month. What the point in that. I was with the same person 11 years and it didn't bother me that we didn't get married.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I Do! But I don't think you don't even entertain the idea unless you're certain you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. Most people today sadly are just NOT of that mindset and most are incapable of that kind of a commitment. So while I do believe in it. I think you really need to make sure you know the person going in.

I don't see the point in marriage.
Whether two people will keep loving each other is in no way connected to some legal document.
I personally want the person I love to stay with me because they want to, not because they have made a "vow" at some point in their past.
If being with me no longer makes them happy, then the last thing I want is for them to stay with me out of obligation.

I not only don't "believe in marriage", I feel it's in fact quite toxic.

As with everything in life it comes with risk. But there is no gain in being safe all the time. How ever i do believe that if you ever get married, you should only and I do mean ONLY marry out of love. There is not a single reason to why one should marry for any other reasons. Then and about only then does the marriage stand a chance. Also you have to be emotional responsible and intelligent to make any relationship to last.

Yes, I have been married for 26 years. I can remember that I felt different the day after I git married. I had a friend who was a lot older than me who told me that I would and I did not understand. That first morning when we woke up together I felt like I really was a part of something bigger.

I believe in marriage. I want to be a loyal husband and father. There will always be people who are lucky in how soon they first the right person for them, but not being one of the lucky ones doesn’t mean it can’t happen later in life. I’m preparing for when my time comes.

neeeeeeeko · Answer

I regard marriage as more of a financial decision. Regardless of that, you're not stuck with the man's name in the event of a divorce

Majority of people are followers only few of us chose path of struggle and pain to become leader.  Marrying is so often following it hurts my eyes.

Not really. There is no benefit for men. All you’re doing is adding risk factors in the event of an 50/50 likelihood of a divorce.

Subarugirl · Answer

Marriage is a legal contract. There is nothing to believe in, it just is. You can decide you won't do it but it's not really something you have to believe in.

SaoirseS · Answer

Yes, I believe in it. I wouldn’t have married last month if I didn’t.
