    It does if you are a divorce lawyer!

    As for me I always say marriage is like a hurricane there is a lot of blowing in the beginning & when it’s all said & done your house is going. I also say marriage is all about the three rings. Engagement ring, wedding ring & suffering.

    Marriage nowadays doesn’t make sense because the second you say I Do say goodbye to half or all your shit down the road.

    As for me I have never been married & never will be & if I’m stupid enough to get married hopefully I’m smart enough to sit down with a legal team before doing so.

    Truthfully nowadays I think the bond is stronger being in a regular relationship without getting married.

    Some people want an official seal on their relationship which is a good thing because it creates pressure to take the relationship seriously.

    It is also good for their children. When non-serious couples get a divorce, children suffer because of them.
    This was also a way to protect the children.

    Personally, I don't care about society, government or religion's seal of approval on my marriage with someone.
    But if I have children, I will do it. If I don't have children, my partner and I have approval for each other is enough.

      In my country, after marriage, both husband and wife are pressured by society and family to live together.
      But in the eyes of the law, the pressure to maintain the marriage is only on the husband.
      But this is not a problem because men prefer to take the risk and continue to marry women even though they know that the sword of discriminatory laws is hanging around their necks by a thin thread whose one end is in the hands of their wives.

    For men it makes no sense whatever. Divorece, alimoney, child support, cheating wives, false accusations, unfair courts. And much more. A prenup will not protect a man.

      In the final analysis, the bias of the law, the courts, and whoever rules our society is not good for our society and therefore it is not good for women. The fact is, men are slow and dimwitted but they are not stupid. Men see what is going on and a substantial number of men choose to avoid marriage which is making it more difficult for me and other women to find the best husband that otherwise we would have.

      Moreover, without marriage men are semi-dropping out and earning just enough for themselves and thereby are earning less than what they otherwise would. That is not good for our society and in turn that is not good for women.

      @Ariesman81 If that is true, it is because I am a bit more logical and see one step deeper. Many women see that in college they win because they have larger and more scholarships, and if they get divorced they win in family courts. However, they don't consider that if men earn, less they will have less and when men choose not to get married, their options are less.

    For the average guy, it doesn't make sense to legally get married. They face all the risk and none of the reward. For guys on welfare, it's great though. And for guys earning less money than the woman. He can divorce whenever things aren't going his way and can't get enslaved. So he's not living in fear of his wife and he's free to leave whenever it suits him.

    In the long run, no. And actually, it's only a fairly new concept. Religion played a big part in its creation, also the government. Why should the state tell you if you're "in love" or not. It shouldn't. Just another way for the government to tell you what to do, right, republicans?

    Thankfully, it seems to make sense for my husband. He wanted to formalize things and I'm so glad he did. I try to make our home a refuge for him. And I am his refuge, too. We're 11 years and 2.5 kids into it and loving our life.

      @chocolatetwopointo Half of marriages end in divorce, women file 80% of them, and men get screwed in divorce court and child custody. There is an epidemic of suicide among middle aged men today, and this is one of the biggest reasons for it. And the reality is, today's marriage just doesn't offer men the same benefits that marriage of the past did.

      Marriage essentially takes power away from men and gives it to women and the government.

      @chocolatetwopointo No, women file most divorces because they are incentivized to do so by the legal system, because they have no sense of commitment, because they don't take the marriage vows seriously, and because they are very self-centered.

      Child custody has nothing to do with marriage, and everything to do with divorce. And you can't consider the pros and cons of marriage without considering divorce. Any man considering marriage knows that if he goes through with it there is a 40% chance his wife will divorce him, and men almost always lose in divorce.

      In the past, a man worked his ass off all day and looked forward to coming home to a clean and orderly home, a home-cooked meal and some relaxing time with his family. Today, a man still works his ass off all day but gets to "look forward" to coming home to a wife who has also had a stressful day and none of the chores that were done by he wife during the day in the past have been done. On his way home he probably has to stop and pick up fast food for dinner and/or pick up the dry cleaning and/or pick up the kids from daycare. When he gets home he gets to do the chores his counterpart's wife in the past would have taken care of during the day. And the next day he gets to wake up and do it all again. One the weekends, he gets to work on the chores that didn't get done during the week.

      For men today, marriage is a huge risk and a liability more than anything else.

      @chocolatetwopointo Women actually cheat more than men before age 30. After 30 men do cheat more, but not by a significant margin.

      But regardless, despite the common misconception, infidelity is not the leading reason for divorce. Study after study has shown the primary reason for divorce is lack of commitment. Considering 80% of divorces are files by women, it's a clear indication today's women lack commitment. They don't mean it when they say "I promise to love and cherish you till death do us part".

      Slave? How is a SAHW any more a slave that the husband who is sentenced to 40 - 60 hours a week of slave labor to financially support his wife and children?

      True, not every married couple has children, but most people have no interest in marriage without children. Even you bitterly feminist young women will almost certainly reach a stage in life when you want children. But you will also be the most likely wives to decide once you've had children that you don't need your husband anymore.

      whats your source on the cheating part? and i js googled the reason why women initiate divorce more, it said women are less satisfied, due to unmet emotional needs, poor communication and lack of independence. because back then women werent allowed to work and men would hit the women if they did a single mistake, u js want a woman to do everything around the house, why not js get a maid? a SAHW works 24/7 you’ll js work 9-5 a day + she’ll have to work on weekends. trust me i won't want children lmao they suck. thats why im not getting married, bc i dont need a man, people get married bc they want to be with eachother, not bc they need it, like women needed back in the day, a woman wouldn't survive if she werent with a man.

      @chocolatetwopointo Does marriage make sense?

      As this graphic shows, the older a couple is, the larger the cheating ga becomes. But even at age 69, the difference is only 8%.

      Most husbands and wives have things they are dissatisfied with in their marriages. When men are dissatisfied, they tend to cheat. But the vast majority of men (74%) never cheat. When women are dissatisfied, they divorce. Both demonstrate a lack of commitment, but only 26% of husbands cheat while 40% of wives file for divorce.

      Here's the thing. Commitment means staying loyal and working through inevitable problems. Men are just significantly better at that than today's women. The numbers don't lie.

      Women are destroying the institution of marriage, and it's hurting all of us due to the impact society.

      By the way, look at the global divorce statistics among straight, gay and lesbian couples. The lowest divorce rate is among gay couples and the highest rate, by far, is among lesbian couples. In other words, the more women involved in a marriage, the higher the likelihood it will end in divorce.

      Put another way, it's virtually impossible to keep a woman happy in marriage, but a man is far more likely than a woman to have success in that perilous challenge.

      Women are the leading cause of divorce, because they lack commitment.

      The institution of marriage is in deep trouble. As long as women continue to deny, deflect and blame others rather than owning their responsibility in it, the trend will continue and marriage will be a thing of the past in another generation or two. Marriage is the cornerstone of society, so the stakes are very high. Grow up and take some responsibility for your shit.

      This is just women admitting to cheating. Nearly all of them believe that their cheating doesn't count for various reasons. I've seen a bunch of women on GAG admit to that too. If could magically see actually infidelity rates, the gap would disappear or reverse.

    To me it does. I want to be married with children in the next few years, I hope I'll be a good father and husband.

    I really want to make a good woman feel supported, loved, and seen. I want my offspring to have an active, energetic, loving, and involved father. If that's not worth it, or doesn't end up making sense for me, then I'm not sure what will make sense to me.

      Because where I come from, the man is the sole provider for the family. Yes, I paid for it. I paid a dowry to my wife, and I continue to provide for my wife (not that I hate, I actually love providing for her). So it's not a me problem.

      I'm not complaining, I'm demonstrating to you that you're the one complaining it's a waste of money when it's usually the man who spends the most in a relationship. I do love providing for my wife, and if you discuss with many other married men, you will get the same answer. That's what drives men to get up early to work everyday and struggle, to provide for their family. If they're happy with that, why should you be the one to say it's a waste of money?

      It doesn't work that way everywhere. And you're not married yet, so all this is just your projection of how things should go. You're a woman, that means you're on the receiving end. You're not even married yet, so you've not reached that level of understanding. Trust me when I say, you're going to change.

      Exactly the word I was looking for, it's their responsibility as a parent. You see, you believe that you're entitled to your parent's provisions because it's their responsibility. That'll be the same entitlement you'd expect from your partner.

      Again, it's the "sense", the "sense", the "sense", the "sense" of responsibility. Don't you get it? Stop removing the "sense" from the word. No one's just going to be responsible for a family or other people for no reason. It's the "sense", "sense", "sense", "sense", and you can't explain sense. It's the same way you can't explain what flowers smell like to a person who has never smelled flowers.

      @msc545 maybe for you because you’re a weak man who can’t keep a woman.

      Maybe not for you because you're a moron who doesn't comprehend reality accurately.

      @msc545 I’ve been married 25 years two young adult daughters who are successful in their careers/school. Own a home, boat, dog, go on vacations where I want when I want. 7 figure net worth. Plenty of friends, family and hobbies. You might want to look into the mirror, child.
