+1 yProbably get married in the future but will likely stay engaged for a long time first before marrying but live together.
Although its an eye roller and only love should matter etc etc - it is very important to know each others LONG TERM financial habits over a few years before you legally tangle each parties hard earned assets to the other. Imagine you move in merry next month then find out the male drained the joint acct at hooters or coyote ugly the next month and the other person who is financially responsible now cannot move into that house they've been saving and working hard for for the past 3 years to a down payment.
Or if one of you never pays on credit cards and uses tons of debt for non essential reasons like beer runs and gambling that don't contribute long term value like a new car or home improvement upgrade would for the couples goals together.
Best to find out for certain and take just 1 or 2 extra years before commiting for life to the other financially.
10 ReplyGone back and forth on this A LOT!!!
When I've fallen in love, I've wanted to get married, been engaged etc.. But at the same time, when I have had time to think about it and all the misery it brings, a piece of paper does not make a successful relationship!!
It's the people in relationship.
Yes, the ring and the paper 📄 bring a certain amount of weight and security to it, but in reality it doesn't change how either of you can act and potentially still hurt one another.
It's a very frustrating subject for me. 💯 ❤️20 Reply
+1 yGood question!
I don't plan on marrying again, just bc of the legalities of marriage. A certificate means nothing to me, if I am committed to someone, they have both my heart, respect, and my solemn vow that I would never cheat on them, or treat them poorly.
I figure, being committed to someone, and being honest and loving them solely is better than any certificate the government hands-out these days and better than what most married guys honor these days in marriages with certificates.

+1 yIm questioning if i still want to marry but i 100% will not be shacking up. I prefer to be at least engaged before living with someone, and even then the engagement shouldn't last longer than maybe 6 months before marrying
20 Reply I don't want legal marriage because it is bad for men. If I am in an exclusive LTR and things go well and she would sign a prenuptial agreement I may do it when I am 10 years away from retirement age so if I ever died she could get my retirement. With my genetics and lifestyle I'll likely live to my late 90s or early 100s though.
00 Reply495 opinions shared on Marriage & Weddings topic. Yeah I'm gonna marry that's always been my goal at least dating wise.
I will not however just live with a partner forever and not be married. It's not even about the certificate marriage is more a personal and religious thing for me. I'm also not gonna do the whole be engaged for years before being married either.

+1 yI never plan on getting married and I'd rather not because it's just an expense and a hassle. The meaning is nice but you can have just as much devotion to your partner without it.
Having said that. If my future partner wanted it and I really had fallen for them. How could I deny them?00 Reply
+1 yI was married. We didn't really want to get divorced but there were some circumstances out of our control. I would like to get married again though.
00 ReplyI want to get married eventually, but the marriage certificate is not important to me right now. Marriage I value is between one man, one woman, and God Almighty.

+1 yI'm married and I do not qualify to answer this question
10 ReplyI will get married. Marriage certificate is a man made thing. Marriage is when you love and announce it to the people that you two are husband and wife. It really doesn't have to be a matter for state but the community

So can I just announce to everyone that Noura and I are married and it would be halāl to do so?
- +1 y
@HippieVeganJewslim Yes because the community you live in must know that you two got married and stay together. Getting a marriage certificate is obviously the cherry 🍒 on top but it's done once announced properly and Mosque marriages are thing for that reason :)

Tašakkur, Bhai. I eat no cherry on top (I remember asking the man not to put cherries on my and my sister’s sundaes), but I do love cherries.

@HippieVeganJewslim lol. But seriously, the registration of marriage in a country is a newer phenomenon. Let me be a bit more clear about it. What I mean is you are married as long as it is written but it doesn't have to be so that a certain state provides the power but the religion provides it. I mean paper marriages are just for bad intentions.
Like you must have heard of even Muslims doing temporary marriages with girls. Lust with them and divorce them in a matter of weeks to months. Kind of prostitution in my opinion - +1 y
I’ve heard Shias doing that, but obviously not all. If the marriage is just for sex, how the Hell is that marriage? (Many) Xtians find lust a sin, so no doubt with Islam as well. Did the illiterate Prophet (s) marry with the paper? I’d find it weird to have to have the paper signed and all that stuff in ye goode olde dæys.
- +1 y
@HippieVeganJewslim Prophet didn't, but Quran states to write down your dealings to avoid conflict later on.
Anyhow, my point is simple, if two people love each other they should declare to people they are married before sleeping together and that marriage is real even if they deny later on as they have openly admitted - +1 y
Which people? When I and Noura meet each other, We plan to move somewhere else. I thought of Morocco, the Philippines, or Indonesia whilst Noura thought of Canada or Norway.

@HippieVeganJewslim husband and wife or future husband and wife to be. They should openly say it
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI don't see any point in marriage. Everything is against men in India. There is no gain from marriage for the amount of risk you take.
So no, not at the moment at least. And this is one thing I will not listen from my parents.
00 ReplyI am living with my girlfriend, but I don’t think we will ever get married 💯💃
10 ReplyAfter a near escape no way in hell. While it is safer to cohabit, it is not safe to do so for long. So not even that is an option.
00 ReplyIf we aren't married after one year of dating; I am out and looking for someone else.

+1 yI'm not really planning to get married in the first place lol
01 Reply- +1 y
I never wanted to marry, even as a kid I didn't think it was something great to do and just liked the dress but nothing more. Sure I want the right partner for me at my side but I don't need a ring for that and I don't need to have kids or whatever, I want a dog tho
Hopefully not but that's a choice made by both parties not just I.

+1 yGet married and settle down if I meet the right woman.
00 ReplyNo, because I don’t think that I’m a responsible person and I don’t think it’s possible for a woman to like or find me attractive (All of these statements have been proven along the years).
