For those of you who are so against marriage, why do you think that is?

Question

I bet there are few people whose parents were married for 50 years who are against marriage. Just saying.

Answer 1

I'm not necessarily against marriage I would love to be married and have a strong loving monogamous relationship but it seems like most marriages end in divorce and either wife or husband  isnt faithful at some point...why put myself through that? it would break my heart if I married someone and they ended up having an affair  or maybe I would end up doing the same you never know  

Answer 2

I'm not against it, but probably bad experiences would do it.

Answer 3

EDIT: The Tracey clone isn't that good. You need to do better than that, really.

My parents have just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and I do not automatically think that marriage is a great idea for everyone.

Traditional marriages were very often one sided in benefits and power, and for many women marriage was not a nurturing and supportive way to live.

Today, changes in the law and in people's attitudes to how marriages should function mean that people's approach to marriage as an institution has also changed.

Many people find that the solution to an unhappy marriage is simply to call it quits, accounting for a divorce rate in some countries of up to 30 per cent.

But for many others, especially younger people, good communication and negotiation around expectations and desires means that they go into marriages very differently than in years gone past.

For this reason, marriage does seem to be having a bit of a revival.

Either way, it has to be up to the individuals to decide!

Cheers :-)

Answer 4

I think marriage is a fine thing. Everyone should try it once. I tried it twice, and I liked them while they lasted. Don't forget about the prenup.

Answer 5

Im not against marriage

Answer 6

There is no benefit for a man to marry.

There is nothing a man gains by marriage that he cannot have in an unmarried relationship.

With a higher than 50% divorce rate, no fault divorce and unfair property settlements a guys wife can hump the UPS man, sue for divorce and take over 1/2 his net worth.

Marriage is a ***GIFT*** from a man to a woman and children if they are involved, but this gift is not needed or required to have a happy life.

Answer 7

Tammy needs to realize that men are not the only ones responsible for marriage failures, even though its easy for her to think that.

I'm against marriage right now because i'm 26 and i'm really, really not ready for it.

I'll probably marry in my 30s or 40s.

Ro Vale: Yes, she CAN sue, but is she going to get anything, i can sue the guy who accidentally runs into me and spills hot coffee on me for pain and suffering, doesn't mean i'll win.

Non-marriage relationships that aren't more than a few years old hold no water in court. Unless the property was obtained by both parties.

Answer 8

^^^CLONE.

I'm not really against marriage, per se, but I don't see the point of it, either. Two people in love don't need to go through the whole process.

Answer 11

I think marriage works for some people.  Not all the time though.

Answer 12

Mine is just from a purely religious standpoint. I do not agree with religion and therefore I do not feel the need to be married. Who gives? Some people get married some don't; big whoop. I don't understand all the fuss.  

Answer 13

I'm not against marriage itself, but I do feel like a lot of couples go into it without necessarily being prepared to take responsibility for things, especially once that newlywed phase ends.  It's not all fun and games, it's a commitment.  I feel that too many couples get married because one person might be pressuring the other, and that overall, the couples are lacking in the levels of communication and understanding that are quiiite important when it comes to marital issues.

Answer 14

They like to think that they are so darn committed and secure that they don't "need" to get married. I think it's a load of c**p, myself. If you are really committed to the person, you will marry them and commit for life. Just saying!

Answer 15

I'm not against marriage. not really against it.

I have great FEAR of marriage. I don't want my marriage to turn out like my parents. the fear i have is from watching many friends who got married and in a few months or years they get divorced.

If i am lucky enough to find my soul mate and I really knew we were BOTH right for each other then I would know that not all marriages don't end up like my parents,. I just want to have LOVE when i get married. so that is how i see marriage today. God Bless

Answer 16

Different strokes.
