Do you want and believe in marriage?

[OlderAndWiser]

Do I believe in marriage? Yes, I've seen it many times!

Marriage is a relationship which people are free to accept or reject. Some of those who reject it apparently need to justify their decision by openly critcizing marriage, and telling other people they are stupid if they get married. That is just an example of people refusing to take responsibility for themselves.

If you get married and your marriage ends in divorce, it doesn't mean that marriage is bad. It means that you either selected the wrong partner, or you weren't willing to stay and work on the marriage when you encountered some difficulties. Blaming the institution of marriage is just a way of avoiding the reality that you screwed up.

If you are married, you have chosen the right partner, and you both work to keep your marriage strong, then the rewards from marriage are great, and they can last for the rest of your lives.

Thanks for MHO!

[ohsheeT]

I do believe in it. But you have to find that person. And it's so hard to do.

And then if you do they have to believe in the same things you believe.

In a relationship if there's an argument it doesn't have to be that way it's all in how you do it and not one person trying to control the other person. It's one of you are a right fighter and the other one's not it's just not going to work LOL

Once somebody lies
It's usually the start of it's down fall.

There is to always be trust respect loyalty

And you really have to be best friends before anything else

I do believe in it but I don't know if I will ever find that person I think it's possible

But if two people can work at making it work it's one of the most beautiful relationships you'll ever have.

I want marriage and I believe in marriage, but I know that not everyone is cut out for marriage. Nor will everyone become married. It’s good to be content in whatever state of life you’re in whether single or married.

[monorprise]

It is a rather unreliable and exceptional person who can't commit to marriage. The question @XHopelessRomanticX what are you asking of marriage beyond the ability to honor a commitment?

[XHopelessRomanticX]

@monorprise To me, marriage represents the God designed purpose for companionship, procreation, and mutual help and comfort. I desire a marriage in which I am my husband’s help meet, and we both reflect the relationship between Christ and the church.

[AviatorTom]

I was married for 20 years... marriage is good... if you make it good.

[caitycat21]

I would like to be married if I find a man that’s marriage material. Don’t really know how to answer your second question though. Believing in marriage is such a vague question, what exactly do you mean? Like are you asking if people believe in traditional marriages or if people believe marriage as a social construct?

[overthinkergirl]

if u believe in purpose of marriage

[caitycat21]

What do you mean by purpose of marriage though?

[overthinkergirl]

i think it has different meanings for different people. in my opinion with marriage u get a person with whom u'll be forever in bad and good. That u'll build life and maybe family together, that you'll always help each other and be there for them. That u'll never leave each other because of arguments but u'll try to solve them. but i think people look very different on marriage and on the purpose

[NZGirl07]

My partner and I both want to get married and are really excited about it.

The term believe in marriage feels a bit odd to me. It seems like some people think a ring and a piece of paper is some kind of magical thing that suddenly makes a relationship strong. I very much disagree with that thinking.

Personally, I see marriage as a final step when you are a strong committed couple who can weather life together. I believe that if you have that type of relationship, then marriage can be the final stage of commitment.

[Sonorous]

The Blackpill Gods have endowed me with knowledge far too vast to actually highly value marriage & consider it as some sacred activity. Though, even before I was aware of the reasons other highly value it (biological, social, etc) I still wasn't very interested in the concept. I prefer for things to be a bit less intense. Like if I wanna be around someone, then I'll just be around them. And genuine trust would be keeping us together. Not some label or title.

But ofc, I'm not like many others when it comes to trust. Many people may need the title in order to actually have healthy relationships with people & to not betray them. I'm afraid I am superior in this way yet again. This like many other things is not a weakness I have.

[SixFootSexy]

I thought I'd be married 10 years ago, but sadly there isn't many rewards for men to get married these days. The system is broken in western countries, you'd have to be a fool not to have a prenup to disincentivize a wife leaving for the prizes. If she stays, will she respect you? Will she have support for her husband, as well as have sex regularly and with enthusiasm?

If so, it may be worth it. Many women are just too feminist these days to think they should provide anything for a partner. Unless you want a family, it's a tough value proposition.

[caitycat21]

Ngl I can understand why you’re unmarried still if you truly believe that there are just so many wives leaving there husbands just for some cash.

It’s also very telling that you complain about western countries making it harder for you to find a wife because in other countries where women have fewer rights they’d be forced to settle for terrible husbands just to support themselves

[SixFootSexy]

@caitycat21 If you think feminism has really made women happy, you should look at Iceland. If anything, feminism has only made men and women more divided than ever.

Traditional countries are the ones who statistically still have happier marriages which is why you get passport bros. They can get a traditional woman who enjoys her feminine duties as a homemaker. You assume these guys make for "terrible husbands" but who are you to judge if they are providing and protecting their wives and families?

That ain't happening much here in the western world. Now while I think a woman should be able to decide if she wants to be a boss b*tch or a homemaker, but let's be honest, 99% of women can't do both. Women don't start to realize it when they're 35 and don't have kids yet, then blame men for their own poor choices.

[caitycat21]

@SixFootSexy I’m literally speaking from the perspective of someone that has immigrant parents that were raised on “traditional values” in a “traditional country”. Part of the reason why my grandma immigrated to America was literally to get away from her abusive husband since these “traditional countries” rarely have resources of support for victims of domestic violence.

Also where are your statistics coming from exactly?

Also do you not realize how unattainable this idealized stay at home mom thing is? In this economy especially most people are living pay check to paycheck, most households rely on two incomes in order to sustain themselves.

Not all women desire to be mothers, motherhood is hard even more so when most men are not involved as parents. I know so many married women in my family who might as well be single moms with how uninvolved their husbands are 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have no idea what is up now a days with men getting angry that women don’t just want to settle down and have kids for some mediocre bottom of the barrel dude.

And with that being said, if you really
We’re so worried about getting married instead of shit talking women you’d be improving yourself so that you can be the type of man a woman would want to be with…instead of spending time projecting your feelings onto them. In reality at the end of the day you’re the bitter 35 year old man with no kids that blames women for your own poor choices 😅 hard pill to swallow

[SixFootSexy]

@caitycat21 You sound like a whole bundle of joy, dearie. I'm not bitter and I don't regret my life choices. I love women, however, I haven't found who I want to settle down with the rest of my life.

[Sasha0426]

@SixFootSexy With your trust issues and view on women about them being gold diggers, you won’t.
You love women but only love to USE them.

[SixFootSexy]

@Sasha0426 You got me. I only use women who have youth and beauty though, so you're safe.

[Sasha0426]

LMAO 🤣 Not the first one to call me ugly.

[SixFootSexy]

@Sasha0426 I didn't say ugly. I really have no deleterious will towards you, just not my type.

[Sasha0426]

I’m so confused 😅 Who said anything about me being interested in you?

[Sasha0426]

I would never be interested in someone like you.

[lgh1998]

I reqlly dont understand it tbh. I feel like if you love someone thats it and it cannot go any further. Getting married diesnt change that. I feel like marrage is just for tge party and thats about it nowadays. The law is kind of the same for people living together as it is when your married and to me personally it just doesn't mean anything. Its just a bit if paler ir whatever to say that you are a couple. But facebook can do that 🤷‍♂️😂 Its not something I care about. I believe that love is love and needs no more

[CalmUntilAbused]

The purely traditional, Catholic marriage? I both do believe in it and want it, if it can be achieved anymore these days.

The state-sanctioned marriage? I don't believe in it, though I know it exists and I know it's nothing good, and I would never agree to have one, unless I were already suicidal, perhaps.

[andreasderjuengere]

I believe...

That a serious and conscious relationship is not longer required to be a ''marriage''.

Although it may look like one. Which would be my personal target.

Furthermore, the homo's are now also widely allowed to imitate a marriage, which makes me question the contemporary validity of the original idea.

Therefore: 2 x ''no'' to your question.

[DannyUk2017]

Not anymore, sadly today are "trends" that bypass the Marriage, Promises, Proposal, etc... Today is more trendy the friends with benefits, FB, NSA, ONS...🤷‍♂️

[Chickenp0tpiez]

I feel like people describe it as something people who aren’t married are missing out on. It’s good for some couples but not so good for others. And (legally speaking) some people get married for the benefits to it. But in my opinion it’s also a big risk. I don’t see myself marrying. Marriage isn’t necessary for a long and happy relationship : )

[SolitarySolace]

Hell no. I believe marriage is only benefiting women. Men always get screwed over in divorce court where women get EVERYTHING. Men, if you're gonna get married, be absolutely, positively, 1,000,000.1% sure the woman you're planning to marry won't fuck you over someday down the road. Because I assure you she will

[SolitarySolace]

As a matter of fact, before presenting your girlfriend any type of ring, ask her first if she'd ever consider signing a pre-nup. If she says no, she's only into you for the $

[Anonymous]

Yes Marriage is a real thing countless thousands of years old, the trouble is it really doesn't exist anymore among most westerns who have been raised by media to think it is a commitment to their own feelings rather than anther person.

[syncheart]

I believe that marriage is the only way for a man and woman to be together. Also my parents have been married all my life, and so was my grandparents.

[Wise4myage]

Sure, but not till I am older. How do you feel about it?

[overthinkergirl]

ofc i'm too young now but yeah when i find the right person i'd like to get married and i see the purpose of marriage:)

[Wise4myage]

That's nice.

[Worst]

I definitely do. I think it's not for everyone, but there's something wonderful about sharing your life and creating a new life with someone, and I've seen enough successful marriages to know that it's possible.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I believe in a lot of things but when it comes to marriage no thanks.

[kitsachie]

I used to. I think I still want to be married but I'm definitely jaded now.

[IslaTheWitch]

I think I'm past marriage age. One in a lifetime is enough :D

[Worst]

it's never too late, Isla 😄

[IslaTheWitch]

It's too bothersome to put up with some male 24/7

[Worst]

@islathewitch hehe fair enough

[Unit1]

I rather do without marriage but live as if married if not better than the average married ones.

[sheikalana]

Yes, I do believe in marriage. I’m currently married.

[Joshydavid25]

Absolutely.. I still want marriage and a family..

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep even now after knowing how bad it is in society.

[LazerBean]

Yes. Marriage when done right is beautiful

[Babygirl_S]

It's my dream to get married to the right guy.

[LuWe22]

I believe in marrige and still find it beautiful, but I do not think it is in the cards for me.

[HouseMoat]

I don't want marriage. I don't think it's truly necessary to be happy

[Anonymous]

I do believe in marriage:). Despite my heartbreaks and crushes not liking me back I want to believe it works.

[Joshgag2000]

There is no need for marriage if you are not religious

[B5567]

Yes you will die if you dont

[overthinkergirl]

how will we die if don't get married? we will die one day anyways

[Becky316]

I do and it hasn't let me down so far

[bededazzle]

[Simslover92]

Yes I want and believe in it.

[leahzrc]

If God wants me to marry sure

[rebeliouse]

how do u mean believe in it?

[overthinkergirl]

if u believe in purpose of marriage

[rebeliouse]

what is the purpose of it?

[overthinkergirl]

that's a copypaste from another reply of mine: i think it has different meanings for different people. in my opinion with marriage u get a person with whom u'll be forever in bad and good. That u'll build life and maybe family together, that you'll always help each other and be there for them. That u'll never leave each other because of arguments but u'll try to solve them. but i think people look very different on marriage and on the purpose

[rebeliouse]

why do u need a marriage to do that? sounds like marriage is just a label

[overthinkergirl]

yeah but i believe in God that’s why marriage is also important

[rebeliouse]
