I would rather be in a long-term committed relationship and then have it end than to have just always been single. A close committed relationship is a very good thing and I'd rather have that for a number of years and lose it than not have it at all.
Marriage specifically though I don't think is important. It's possible to have good committed long-term relationship without being legally married and the only real difference is the legal aspects associated with marriage (some of which are good and some of which are not). Having been married and divorced, I know that divorces take a long time and are stressful and expensive.
I'm now in a long-term committed relationship and it really doesn't feel any different than being married in terms of the relationship. (Actually this relationship is better than my marriage was because we're a better match for each other in most ways.) So I don't see any advantage to getting married in terms of the closeness of the relationship. There might be tax benefits or a few other rights that come with being married that are advantageous, but it's a lot harder and more expensive to get out of a marriage than a relationship that isn't a marriage if that ever becomes necessary.
So basically, I think a long-term committed relationship is definitely worth having even if it eventually fails. Having it be a legal marriage though might change that depending on how contentious the divorce is and what the financial outcome after the divorce is.
I would prefer marriage cuz my G. F is clever and calculating woman, who have always clearly set boundaries between "What is available now and what will be available after marriage" and I want the latter half.
We belong to part of world where marriage is still equal , consequently we believe in solving problems and are willing to change rather than running away from issues. I am very satisfied with long trail period where She have managed to ace me but at the same time, give me far more than what I ever wanted.
I know for a fact that it doesn't get better than her but at the same time unlike majority of cock-sucker on this website I am not raised to worship pussy and chase it around like lost puppy, you can't expect other person to give you something which you are not willing to provide... we are DEAD-LOYAL if that matters.
I believe in marriage and no divorce, we will succeed cuz I freaking enjoy her company and She understands me the way no one has ever done, like She knows when to pep talk me and when to make it clear, I am in wrong here and I can say the same about her.
People divorce cuz they want stable-pussy in life and I want to marry cuz I want woman in life.
So I will marry her and it will work, otherwise She has spoiled me way too much and kinda influenced my thinking over the years, where my definition of perfect girlfriend is LITREALLY her and She knows I will always came back to her cuz that's what I call perfect specimen.
Just rather never marry. I think a lot of people do the marriage thing and the big wedding put all this effort into that even when they know they won’t last. A year after wedding they divorce. All that for what? The party? Being able to say you’ve tried what past traditions and society show is important? Not all are like this not course. But I’d rather stay single for as long as I need to. When I do feel a relationship is worth that marriage title. I’d be all for it. But have a small tasteful wedding. For the day isn’t about the party.. it’s about those two people celebrating their intention to commit through good and bad with their close to their hearts around them.
I'd rather get married and then divorced.
Sometimes people change and sometimes bills are bigger than love and affection. Failing a marriage isn't the end of the world (although will probably feel like it).
It's an experience and I'd like to look back knowing that someone wanted to take that chance on me. I'd like to look back knowing I wasn't another jaded person with intimacy problems.
It's easy to say, oh it didn't work out, so it's pointless. But life is interesting because we work for it, and not a moment sooner.

Being married and in love for at least a certain part of your part gives you experiences and memories that you can cherish. Not to say that you can't create great memories being single, but it feels more complete when you share it with someone that you love. When you're about to pass away and your life is flashing before your eyes (the brain's last 7 minutes of activity are just that... playing flashbacks), it's more cathartic when you remember spending it with someone. It gives colour to your life. I feel there are too many people scared of heartbreak nowadays and build up a wall that makes love impossible after their first one doesn't work out.

On one hand you have marriage & divorce & on the other hand you have not married & single. Single it is & I’ll pass on the three rings. Engagement ring, wedding ring & suffering. Marriage is like a hurricane, there is a lot of blowing in the beginning & when it’s all said & done your house is gone.
I am not a person who essentially believes in forever or the rest of our lives. But if I was happy enough with someone to decide marrying them (sure hoping it could be for life), and it later on does not work, then that is better for me than having been single and never met such a man.
I'd rather be married and divorced, having a connection even with children, to feel like I belong to someone in some way. Even people that are divorced communicate and you were a special part of their lives for a least a little while, to have that experience , even for a little while, while the divorce is bad, it's a relationship experience and that is priceless to me
For me, I'd rather not marry than get married and then divorce.
If there were to be any offspring between us, I would definitely lose, since the courts favor women heavily in custody cases. And I can only imagine the heartbreak and financial ruin I'd be in, should a woman take from me in alimony. Divorce is also bad for the children, since those who grew up with divorced parents are more likely to become bullies, thugs, single mothers, drug dealers/addicts and gang members.
I also add that I am an Asian man attracted to white women, so that would make it more precarious for me, since a lot of white women don't like Asian men unless he's really rich.
No thanks, but at this point, going MGTOW.
I'd rather stay single than be married and then learn married life, or the person I chose to be with are not for me and get divorced. Might have been fun for a while, great sex or maybe not. Thought you knew what you wanted, but it just wasn't enough. A relationship and Marriage are a two way street.
Well let's see... my one and only divorce cost me right about a half-mil. That's right, after paying child support for fifteen years, giving her the house and the cars, it totaled up to $485K
People ask why divorce is so costly... BECAUSE IT'S WORTH IT!
Being single and never married at my age seems to have a bigger stigma than being divorced.
Ideally I’d want to be with my husband forever but I’m always going to be grateful to have experienced love anyway. Whether it lasts or not. Love is beautiful.
I hope to be married to someone who I can easily work with to solve any problems that might arise. I believe that in marriage, or any relationship really, it is important to keep in mind that the problem is separate from your partner, this helps me to not dismiss the problem as unfixable and helps me focus on the actual issue, so when addressing a problem, it shouldn't be you versus them, but the both of you versus the problem.
Wanna do it like my daddy - marry, steal everything, divorce. Rinse and repeat, he got a villa at Garda this way.
Its never worth getting married and then losing half your shit. Also men don't forget. Women still consider themselves single while riding other men until it's "serious" these days it doesn't count. Be aware, be cautious, stay safe, and WRAP IT UP!
I always wanted to be married, and never divorced... but on my second marriage now, this one has worked out.
I fear marriage.
I fear being trapped, it is just not for me.
I would go for a second one.
Not getting married at all.
If you survive the infidelity and the marriage ending then it's a nice experience to look back on. Especially if you're blessed to have kids from the relationship.
all i can think of is staying single tell i change my mind
I’ve done it. Married and divorced. I don’t regret being married , but ll never get married again.
That's it then. The institution of marriage is officially obsolete. Except for gays obviously.
dont get married females will steal all your money that picture up there is not a joke the laws actually give all of man's hard money to women just for marrying the guy, just fuck a girl you like and leave never stay.
