I believe in Marriage simply because it is mandated to leave our parents, cleave to one another, reproduce, spread throughout the world, and take dominion over the fish of the sea, birds of the air and all creatures including the earth itself.

I've continued dating women I didn't even like or see a future with, even one who was cheating simply for sex until I'm ready to move on. Selfish yes but f*ck bad bitches. Was dating one girl wah back who was a complete mess, was abusive and crazy but she was kinda pretty and had the biggest tits I ever saw on a skinny woman. She was still at that young age before the big ones start sagging. She dumped me because I didn't propose, started dating another chock for a while and she came back for sex a few times for validation and to show me what I was missing. I told her everything she want to here to get into her pants. Miss tittyfucking those giant tits.
I believe real and lasting love is possible but it can't be based on physical attraction or money. Beauty can be a factor but you need a sweet and tender soul to support that beauty.
Great answer. It's like LeBron James thinking because he is 6'8 he will be a great basketball player. It can help but you have to learn the game and practice. One cannot just walk out there knowing nothing and expect things to go well. Relationships are a game and there are rules to having a good one. There are even rules to getting a relationship.
Yes, but a marriage takes more than the kind of love we see in movies. Some marriages are arranged by the families and if the couple is lucky, love develops.
They’re both real. But many people don’t really want to find it. They would rather get sexual pleasure or money or something anymore

Actually, this is somewhat complicated for me. For a variety of complicated sociological and historical factors, marriage is a good thing. This leaving aside the religious aspects, which I do not include here as not everyone will share those religious views.
Yet there is no doubt. Marriage affords legal protections to both sexes, especially woman. Indeed, one of the reasons marriage may be on the decline is that, as women are becoming more integrated into the economy, they no longer need the legal protections that they were once afforded by marriage against being cheated on or abandoned by their working spouses - who tended to be the sole breadwinners.
Further, the statistics are brutally clear on children. Those children raised in the traditional married family tend to do far better - in schooling, in nutrition, in behavior - than those children who are not.
Traditional marriage affords a sense of stability and security that is often crucial to the health of children and indeed, society more broadly. Thus the case for traditional marriage - with its' ethos of commitment and, as noted, often its' religious sanction - is rock solid and rooted in history and sociology.
Yet, for all that, my girlfriend and I have lived together for over a decade and we have three children - and we are not married. We think that what we share is natural and beautiful - not to get too mushy about it. When my girlfriend got pregnant the first time we thought immediately about marriage, but we find it, with its' expensive ceremony and its' permission slip from the state (see also the marriage license) too artificial and contrived and in that sense it diminishes - we feel - what we share.
Of course, that can work if you have, as we do, a marriage in all but name. As noted above, it does not work so well when applied at the macro level. The sanction of law - and religious faith - reinforces the commitment between two individuals and that, on the whole, conduces to the well being of children and the broader health of society.
So, at a personal level, I must admit that I am not consistent. For purposes of society, law and philosophy, I am an advocate of marriage. Yet what my girlfriend and I share is natural and instinctive. To put it crudely it is, at one level by sexual attraction and the animal need to reproduce but that ends up, somehow, becoming the deepest love.
So put me down for a split decision. Intellectually, I understand that marriage - as a general rule - is essential. However, for myself and my girlfriend, our natural instincts are purer and more crucial than any social or legal ethic.
In theory yes. In the form it is supposed to be... no.
In the western countries where the gospel is wait until you are 30, your mate is your 10th, 30th, 100th sexual partner, put career above your marriage, you can get divorced for any stupid reason and the government makes parties pay alimony to people they are no longer in a relationship with, people can be made to pay child support for kids that aren't even theirs... even if medically proven as fact, divorces are so prevalent and people are so self-absorbed and selfish... etc.
In western countries, I'd advise people to not get married and don't live together. Keep the government and courts out of your relationships and keep your properties and accounts separate.
In other cultures where they honor marriage and take it seriously, I believe in marriage.
I don't believe in most other people's ability to be in a successful marriage. I think most people have no clue how to manage romantic relationships. I think they go purely off emotions and what is in front of them.
Real for me not for some usually because they can’t put the interests of others before themselves. I’d say the selfy generation has ruined it. Multitude of people who want what they want when they want it now and when it doesn’t feed their ego they find something else for their daily video.

Married people are both responsible for and responsible to another human being, and both halves of that dynamic lead the married to live more responsible, fruitful, and satisfying lives. Marriage is a transformative act, changing the way two people look at each other, at the future, and at their roles in society.
Marriage is a terrible, risky deal for men that has a high probability of backfiring on them. In the US, 70% of marriages end in divorce within 6 years. In divorces, men lose their property, homes, money, reputations, jobs, dignity, and friends, and worst of all they frequently lose access to their children. Women walk away with everything, and men are given child support and alimony bills for years at a time.
Men who get married are simply uninformed, or very naive.
100% and i value it immensely. my ultimate goal of a relationship is marriage and i will continue to withhold certain things and privileges for my future husband only.
You're asking two different questions. I believe in love and serious, committed longterm relationships. Marriage is just a legally binding contract and has nothing to do with love.

I meant do you think people who are getting married now, are in love or not...
Okay. Who are you talking about specifically? There's literally hundreds of millions of people around the world getting married. You aren't asking me to answer for all of them, are you?
I know far more people who are in committed relationships than who are married (except for people 50+). There's loving couples everywhere I look, actually. They're just not married. Because that's not what matters.
Love is real. But yeah, really hard to find these days cause many people don't give af about their partner I don't know why. If you are with the right person, yes, marriage will work.

Personally I think it's more a deal and always has been in history, but that said, there are genuine marriages, it's sort of hard to tell.
