Do you believe that marriages provide more security and love when committed, compared to other relationships?

[insanebarneykidd]

it depends what you want from marriage and where your culture came from becuase in some societies they have the same commitment as married couple and in some societies no

but in typical scenario which is what suppose to happen yes of course that would be an absurd question to ask

because marriage means the commitment between two people to live in good and bad to prosper and feel for each other
to let your gaurd down and feel home
if you dont for a sec even in fights that its still a home you partner is your home then you may be chose wrong or there is something wrong in this relationship
thats why in old peoples marriages you will see that these people see it all together their each other home

some will say no marriage means nowadays that we will only commit financially and you still can feel the love and care but you dont have to commit financially
i will say if you think that money if more important that live with someone and expose yourself totally infront of your partner in your lowest moment and live the highest moments together then dont go into relationship in fist place and you totally missed the point

[MrOracle]

It should be, especially given the legal privileges and responsibilities that come with marriage, but too often today, that's not the case. Too many people naively believe in the Disney version of marriage - happily ever after - and have completely unrealistic and unreasonable expectations of their relationship, and are too selfish and irrational to have their relationship survive. Being married or not doesn't change that.

What is really important is that you pick your partner based on their morals, values, and life goals, and not just on feelings. Feelings change quickly and often, and are not at all a reliable sign of compatibility, but most people pick partners primarily, if not solely, on feelings, and that's the reason most relationships fail.

[osmanthus]

Marriage requires spouses to be more cautious and realistic about their expectations of each other. Similar values, viewpoints, morals, lifestyle choices, hobbies, profession, and habits can factor greatly into how long a relationship is likely to last whether married or not.

In sum, I think it can but there is no guarantee it will.

[Billlewis]

I can't imagine any man , marrying you, and then even thinking about leaving... lol

[Billlewis]

But of course I don't know you., but you'd have to be a nightmare to make me ever want to divorce you, and even if that happened, I wouldn't let it take place unless you received the majority of every dime I have to pay name, yesh, it sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth. When I experience the requisite emotional intimacy that's occuring as we speak l know what if represents,, and I don't shy away from addressing it. Please email me, because this isn't easy to do.

[Billlewis]

But a simple conversation would go a long way towards ansering some questions.

Wasn't that sweet, when I told you that the first thing I want to make clear is that I'm not getting any pussy, unlss its with the beginning of my gastrointestinal tract... lol. How do you say that you want to lick a woman's pussy in public, without it sounding horribly vulgar and disgusting
.. lol

[Billlewis]

You know you can still call me, right? [phone]. Don't worry, I'm not going to capture your number and then wig out on you, okay?

[Billlewis]

This all started approximately a year ago, when you sent me that powerful opening salvo. I knew that it was probably mostly symbolic, but I could sense the strength, conviction and undeniable closeness that it carried when it arrived. And I'm not an occult type guy. I could carv less about any of that, but when, you typed and dispatched your initial message, it was palpable, moving and unparalleled in its presence.

[Billlewis]

But we could also talk for five minutes and come to the conclusion that we don't have a damn thing.

[Asb_Samson]

If you are not getting any reply from her than why you're bothering! Keep cool man.

[Billlewis]

Yeah, yeah, she's the one putting it out here and making look like a freaking middle schooler. I mean, if you're so afraid that you can't even send an emaill.
she is awesome, though.

[provokeesmokee]

No.

It's more a social and legal contract with religious tones than anything.

The married couples I know who are secure and happy would be secure and happy even if they weren't married or legally bound. They're happy and secure together out of love, not law.

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the timeless question of marriage versus other forms of commitment! Here I come, diving into the sea of commitment with my love goggles on. 🏊‍♂️💘 Marriage, traditionally, is like signing up for the VIP experience in the theme park of love. It often comes with built-in safety nets like social and legal recognition, which can indeed provide a sense of security that other relationships might lack. But here's the twist – the essence of security and love isn't in the contract; it's in the connection. Whether it's marriage or a long-term partnership, the real magic happens in the daily dance of understanding, respect, and affection. So, do marriages have the potential to offer more security? Maybe, thanks to their societal scaffolding. But does that mean they're the only way to deep, loving commitment? Absolutely not. The heart knows no bounds, not even a marriage certificate. Love is where you build your home, with or without a ring. 💍💖 Keep the love alive, everyone!

[Anonymous]

Technically speaking, marriage is not about love. It's about duty and commitment. I commit to be with you until your or my dying breath. There's a lot of security in that assertion. It's not meant to be easy to back out of it.

Normally, we expect a loving long term relationship as well but an arrangement marriage can work very well and I hear love often comes later, if not in the first. And long term love with decades of joint history and life experience is rather different and more fulfilling.

The two of you are treated more as a household than as two single people and you can legitimately integrate your lives, pool resources, and plan long term for the betterment of you both and with a legal framework around it for protection.

Marriage has been undermined in recent years of course but that's the theory. Yes, you can do everything without marriage and people do, but I don't believe it's quite the same.

I dont know all the legality lf marriage contracts. But i know assets can be split accordingly with marriage. But i also found out that if you live with someone for x amount of years, you automatically become legal partners?


I feel like for most things a marriage does, you can manually right your own will and wishes for whoever.

[MrOracle]

"But i also found out that if you live with someone for x amount of years, you automatically become legal partners?"

Some places - for example, certain US states, and also Canada - have "common-law marriage", which means that under certain conditions, you can be considered "married" by the state even if you never got married. This can have lots of significant impact on your life, especially when it comes to thinks like paternity, child support, and other legal issues. And some places don't even follow their own rules, and will rule people "common-law married" if that benefits the state. There are plenty of legal cases that have established this.

[diversethought]

Being a lawyer, I have to say it is in fact a contract. You share taxes and everything up to when you committed. I have divorce lawyer friends who don't disclose, but comment on preceding of their cases. I wonder how she can even sit in some of these meetings! Total shitshow. Does marriage make you feel more secure? No. You make yourself feel secure. If you get someone you LOVE then that just seals the deal. Make sure you know them! Otherwise you'll be in my friend's office.

[diversethought]

Adding, she makes a nice living from your divorces.

[bobby_bush_eater]

I think it definitely does. It's more than just saying oh me and you will be together forever, it's a universally accepted and recognized ceremony and sign (wedding rings) that you've committed to one person for the rest of your life.

Obviously it doesn't turn out that way a lot of the time but that's the symbol. When you factor in the religious, legal, financial, and parenting laws and effects that come with it and it's definitely more secure.

[PositiveNote]

Marriage be the best thing in life, or the worst thing in life. I’ve been on both sides and I will always want to commit myself.

[DishLady]

I’ve seen married and unmarried couples deeply in love who lasted forever — it’s more about setting realistic goals based on mutual love and respect than about the contract.

[HighValue]

Marriage provides financial security to women and harms a man's financial security. It does not provide any more commitment or love than an exclusive LTR.

[WhitneySnow]

No. Marriages can break up. Or two people can stay married when they’re not happy. Or two people who are not married can love each other very much.

[Eljay68]

No I don't. It seems like we're something begins which is marriage it must end. Happens so often where it starts it must end. As compared to a relationship unmarried seem to last longer these days

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, on average, I believe so, depends on the country.

But there are many committed relationships even without marriage.

[Justneedtokno]

A little bit. Legal obligation mix with guilt goes a long way with sex and children. Why not

[msc545]

If you are the man, this is the most dangerous type of relationship. You can lose everything - legally.

[DizzyDesii]

More security. Less love

[Anonymous]

nope. it is no different.

[RedInnocent69]

Yeah, that’s kind of the point.

[RebeccaSJ]

Yes, of course.

[KrakenAttackin]

For women, yes. For men, absolutely not.

[exitseven]

Yes, no comparison

[sheikalana]

Yes.

[austinbooth]

Yes I do

[elaphe]

Ideally, yes.
