This has been brewing for a while but the political stuff was the nail in the coffin for our relationship. It hurts to say it. I love the guy. But I can't be with someone who has zero fight in them and zero patriotism. I mean with as patriotic as I am now I can't believe it lasted this long. Can't wait to get out there and date REAL manly men lol.
Sorry for this post. I'm just a little sad and needed to vent.
Marriage is a religious ceremony and the government should just stay out of it.
Why we still force a default binding contract is beyond me. Outdated and unneeded. We should empower women and break the chains of this contract enforced by the evil patriarchy.
Fucking finally some good common sense!
The government wasn’t in your baptism, and it wasn’t in my bar mitzvah. It shouldn’t be in our marriages.
Comes down to money
Yep, the government doesn't want to support these women if they don't have to. Men get tasked with it. If the woman is the breadwinner and a female judge or any judge comes up they never give the money to the other direction. It's a shit deal and so is our elections.
The marriage license allows you to take tax credits together, see each other in the hospital and make medical decisions for your spouse if God-forbid someone get hurt, it allows you to inherit life insurance if God-forbid your spouse passes.
I'm sure this list can be extended but you get the point. There are legal benefits just as there are drawbacks. It's a partnership and both ppl have to be aligned in many ways for marriage to make sense.
So many ppl date like idiots and marry someone because they are attracted physically or get fuzzy feelings around that person or have been with them a long time and are scared of change, or because they feel pressured from parents or friends etc.. Those are all terrible reasons to get married. HOWEVER if both ppl understand marriage is a life-long partnership, both people align morally and political worldviews align, and they are planning to raise God-fearing kids into the world then marriage can be a significant asset to both individuals.
As backwards as it is portrayed, arranged marriages kinda make sense, because the parents are able to think rationally while the people in a relationship are often irrational. This all assumes the arranger has the arrangees best interest at heart.
I agree.
Sorry bro but being more religious isn’t gonna make your woman fall in love with you, it just doesn’t work that way. You could be a prophet of God and women will still spit on you. Fact is, attraction is needed in order to make a relationship work, and just cuz you pray to God everyday doesn’t mean women are gonna wanna have sex with you. If anything, being a lowdown degenerate scum does lol.
Also, there are WAYYYYY more drawbacks to getting legally married than not. It’s not even remotely close. There are stories of world champion boxers are fighters who have to give their Champion Title belt to a woman because of divorce. You’re out of touch with reality if you think these gynocentric laws in this bullshit gynocentric society has any benefit to men in the modern era. Civilization is on the downturn and humanity is headed towards extinction because of it. Enjoy the decline.
Attraction is great. But it's not the only thing that is needed for a relationship to work and certainly not a reason to get married to someone on its own.
If you want kids I don't know what woman in her right mind would want to have your kids without being married bro. Marriage gives security to the child-bearing sex that's just a fact.
Because it’s in most cases a massive financial lift to be two people earning together. If you have a good spouse you can be very successful.
That's a huge "if". Plenty of "good spouses" turn out to be not so.
And who says two people can't earn together outside marriage?
And they should live separate lives and not shank up either.
Cool story bro but if this were implemented then literally no one would be getting married.
Holy Matrimony is a religious ceremony. Marriage is just a joining of two things. Not saying I disagree with the sentiment, but facts are facts. Religious bindings before God had gone out the window long ago. People married before God, yet FOR entitlement and country alliances. Royal arranged marriages for instance. It's a losing battle if you don't have moral servitude towards God.
Because children's rights need to be secured. Empowering women or men at the expensive of security for children is bad for society.
Then agree who gets custody and how much is paid out before you get married. All of this should be settled up front.
You can agree all you want, the court can throw it out on a whim. Prenuptial agreements are rarely enforced, and have strict limitations in what they can cover (e.g. they can't apply to assets obtained during the marriage, only before it).
Circumstances change. Your wife becomes an alcoholic, but is making money off Only Fans. Your husband becomes medically disabled but is ok with the kids for short visits.
No, it's way more than a ceremony, religious or secular. It is the fundamental social unit which see s the birth and reading of kids. The state has of course screwed things up, but the future of the nation requires men and women bonding and that involves way more than one afternoon at city hall or a beach or church. And yes, nowadays it has to deal with property and progeny if the marriage fails.
