Polls: Marriage & Weddings

Someone from hiskool ran into me. Told me he got married. I didn't congratulate him or nothing. Bet he felt embarrassed.

A study was just released stating that by the year 2030, over 52% of women between the ages of 23-44 would not be able to get married and would not be able to have children as a result. With so many younger women nowadays not being able to successfully find love/marriage with someone who is willing to commit and have children, is it time to legalize plural marriage in America by at least allowing it to be an option or alternative for those who choose? Whether it’s something the rest of society agrees with or not in their personal life, or whether a person would or wouldn’t be involved in plural marriage themselves, is irrelevant. The question is simply this… Is it consistent under equal application or equal protection of the law that government should no longer unconstitutionally prohibit the legal practice of plural marriage, aka polygyny? The way it is currently with the anti bigamy laws, it seems very hypocritical and it can be argued that government is applying protections of law only to certain groups who cry for equality the loudest! So to recap, if a man is already married to one woman and she gives permission for him to be in a second or third marriage to an additional woman in each marriage, assuming they are all of legal age and everyone consents without duress of their own free will, why shouldn’t he and the new wife be able to also show up at any county courthouse in America and request an additional marriage license? US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in his own dissenting opinion regarding the LGBTQ legal marriage decision made it clear from a legal standpoint on how the court would most likely rule should a case for plural marriage ever be brought before the court when he said “It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage.”

It ain't based on fearing she will take his money.

its based on the fact there isn't someone they trust. And that goes far beyond a fear of marriage.

Most people living in western counties would say hell no to this (for the most part me included).

But in other parts of the world there are arranged marriages where love is supposed to come later. Even back in 1800s and earlier people would often get married through community arrangements. One family knew another and the parents thought that their sons and daughters would make a good match. Even the ancient Spartans had this weird marriage ritual where they put young men and women together in a dark cave. Whoever opposite gender you grabbed first and walked out with into the light would become your spouse.

I have to wonder how often people ended up with someone they weren’t attracted to. However divorces were way less common many years ago. If so many people were really that miserable with their arranged marriage you would have to think there would be some serious mental health issues and more violence back then. But at least historically this wasn’t the case.

We've discussed marriage, agreed it was appropriate and decided that we should get engaged. Then she purchased a fake engagement ring to wear all the time. Can I consider us engaged? Or do I have to wait until after I do the engagement ritual?

In a 2018 study that looked at sexual behavior of those between the ages of 18-44 years of age, it was found that less people are getting married compared to those in the past. One highlighted reason had to do with men not making enough money for women to consider marrying them.

Modern women were interviewed around campus and most wanted men to make at least 6 figures to consider them marriage material. With the average figure being 100k/year for men to be considered marriage worthy. In addition to this, most women in said interview were put off at the idea of being with a man who makes less than them. Now, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the second quarter of 2022 was about $1,041 per week or $54,132 per year. Thus, men are expected to make 2x the median salary of your standard American to be considered marriage worthy.
