Apart from steady sex and maybe money most people don't offer much of value in a relationship or marriage, agree or disagree?

100% disagree.

Regrettably many married for sex, money and some a Citizenship.

But as far as I had experienced in my limited time on earth,

1) just driving around with her with no apparent destination brings more happiness than an expensive tour.

2) eating street food with her somewhere along the drive brings more delights than 5-star restaurants.

3) sitting with her by a fountain don't know where for some reason makes time fly by in the blink of an eye.

4) for some reason Indian Street and China Town somewhere on earth just make the walk with her more romantic than cosmopolitan mega malls.

5) day becomes night quickly and in the blink of the eye the month's "vacation" is over and need to drive back. Thereafter, that month with her cannot be forgotten. Year after year we plan to do it again. It was so cheap. But so impossible to repeat that month.

So no. Marriage can be a lot more than sex, money and Citizenship.

The value is it’s a equal partnership the guy provide some money the girl provides the sex, which will lead to children, while the man provides the women is there taking care of the kids and house a man works for both us wife and his kids the women receive her pay check though the man she married the man is the business owner in the relationship and the women is the paid worker. Men go out work their asses off so their wife doesn’t have to be in the working world. But she provides a house and home and a family off of his pay check

Disagree dude, if it's just sex then it's a hook-up. If it's sex + money, then I guess it's some sort of sugar situation? The whole point of relationships is that there's more there. Ya know, emotionally? You don't have to be rich or hot or whatever to be a kind, considerate, and supportive person and those are all great things to bring to a relationship.

[Anemone978]

That's only true if you don't really like or love your partner, if you are in love the joy of just being with them is amazing..

[RavVid]

I would agree with that when median duration of marriage is 8 years. Clearly 50% decide it doesn't or more accurately 25% decide it doesn't since most marriages are ended by the wife.

Aside from reasonably regular sex, it is hard to argue that value is offered.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Healthy relationships go far beyond sex and money. Alas, those require the partners to not be shallow pieces of human garbage. Which is everywhere today, making it really hard to have a healthy relationship, because NPCs are real, and shallowness is everywhere.

[lightbulb27]

disagree. I was quite lonely for a long time and I'd feel it at times

Support in taking on new challenges, adventures, sounding board to discuss, give and take. Like when my wife was down a bit other day I drive and helped out getting the car. When I was down the prior day, she helped out so I could recover.

Doing everything on your own is fine, until you need some help or want help.

[TheWolfLady87]

Sure for causal meaningless flings. Unfortunately, nowadays, lots of people think "friends with benefits" is a real relationship when it's nothing but cheap pointless sex.

.

When you actually seek out a meaningful partner for a real relationship there is FAR more to the relationship than just money and sex.

[inhua]

maybe they bring excessive emotional baggage and a high body count from past sex partners and possibly a kid or two from someone else as well as unpaid student loan debt

[sheenagwapa]

i strongly disagree... my mother is a great woman. she's loyal, hard worker, forgivinh, motherly she took care of my nephew really well and she's religious

[douride2]

So you think having a partner guarantees steady sex do you?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Should be.

[douride2]

For the most part not the guys I went with.

[turnpost]

It feels as though being in a relationship, its like fighting a battle where you maybe perpetually losing and waiting for the inevitable end of the relationship.

I wish that relationships could be more then resources and numbers and sex. But those assets are needed inorder to drive the relationship to a certain degree. Love is worth fighting for eventually we can it.

[Lowiu]

Dont you feel happy just being with someone you love?

[LazerBean]

It is definitely true for many people these days, sadly.

[DaBiggestBird]

Maybe now since those are the only things these people are focused on but two Giga Chads being blessed with one another is a gorgeous thing.

[KrakenAttackin]

Steady sex is absolutely NOT guaranteed in marriage. Refer back to a poll I did on GAG a few weeks ago where a shocking number of women stated "sex is not a part of marriage".

[Cubus]

If you don't get onto relationship for sex then no. You give yourself support, especially emotional, one can do things te other can't etc.

[lorenzomichael]

Yeah that sounds about right I agree. Remember this money can't buy you happiness but it sure can buy you a nice boat to sail around all your misery.

[Jamie05rhs]

I actually agree with you. Most people are insufferable cunts and have no people skills whatsoever.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Agree. That’s why most marriages don’t workout. Because both people were toxic, or one of two people were toxic

[Anonymous]

I think you can cross money of that list as well.😆 Most women only have debt to offer.

[Billlewis]

That's probably true nowadays.

[Christsdisciple15]

I haven’t met enough people to assess that

[Exterminatore]

Agree. Most don’t but not all.
