Is Getting Married Important To You?

[Aphrodite801]

It’s not at all for me, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s just a ring on two fingers. Doesn’t stop a man from cheating so why bother? Everyone says most married men are CHEATING on their wives.

Yes getting married is important to me

No getting married isn’t important to me

I will never get married

I used to feel kinda the same way about marriage. Like it wasn't that important and didn't really change much. But I've been thinking about it more lately and I'm starting to see it different.

Yeah a ring don't stop cheating, you're right about that. But marriage is supposed to be more than just a ring - it's a commitment. It means you and your girl are locking it in to be ride or die together through everything. Good times and bad.

When you marry someone, it shows you chose them above anyone else. You're saying they're your number one, your teammate for life. That kind of bond and trust has to count for something, ya know?

Plus all the married couples I know who are still going strong after years, they seem really happy. Like they've built something real special together.

I ain't saying I gotta have a big white wedding or nothing. But finding someone I wanna commit to long term and make that official one day, it sounds kinda nice. We'll see what happens! Just my two cents anyway.

Well... Neither does it stop women from cheating, but it's only true for a state-sanctioned marriage, basically a legal contract with a (constantly changing, so "set" is not the right word) price for breaking it.

As for the true, traditional, purely Catholic marriage, it is designed to last and it definitely significantly discourages cheating on both sides, even if it does not guarantee an absolute lack of cheating due to human weakness.

"Everyone says most married men are CHEATING on their wives." I have previously been married - 23 years - and never cheated once. People who get cheated on tend to tell the world about it. People who have faithful spouses tend to not post something online about their faithful spouse. But, if you believe the nonsense that a few other people tell you, then you shouldn't get married. Doesn't matter to anyone else.

While I don't want it, I will likely do it, to make her happy. Isn't that the right thing to do?

[Aphrodite801]

You have a girlfriend who wants to get married?

[HouseMoat]

I'm single, but, if I had a girl that wanted to get married

[Aphrodite801]

Why assume that would make her happy? You said you don’t want to get married on the other question so find a girl who doesn’t want to get married either. Or rather doesn’t care about it

[HouseMoat]

The girl I like, who supposedly likes me back (she says it, but, I find it hard to believe), says she doesn't want marriage, but, she's been married before. She married him for his money, and hated it. She left. The problem I'm having is, is she saying it, to make me happy, and truly does want to get married. If so, she needs to be honest with me, and I'll find someone else
