I seriously do not understand the point of marriage. You don't need to get married to be committed or be in love. Marriage exists only to set certain legal rules in place and weddings are just ridiculously long, expensive religious ceremonies. I do like hearing about unique weddings and people who simply get their marriage licenses at City Hall because THEY ARE NOT SHOWOFFS. But since people choose to get married, they must believe in it a little. Of course, this excludes people who marry for status and money. Married people are the ones showing off and saying how they are going to be toegether forever. They should stand by their words. There should be a rule that if you get divorced you cannot remarry. You are obviously incapable of whatever marriage is in your head. Divorce should not be legal!!! Seriously, if people want to become rich they should just become divorce lawyers. It is better just to stay a common-law couple. I don't understand why when one spouse dies, the other gets re-married or enters a new relationship. It's just stupid, especially if there are children involved. If your spouse didn't die, would you be with this person? Not unless you're a cheater. If you truly loved them, you would respect them and not be selfish.

Sometimes people or situations change. Why should it bother you what other people do? It doesn't effect you.

That is their road to take. If you don't want that road, then don't take it

You're damn right I won't get married! And you people really need to think about the words you spew. "Why should it bother you what other people do? It doesn't effect you." *Affect Oh, so I sohuldn't have a problem with child molesters and addicts? Alright, then.

You can not like it, but who are we to tell consenting adults that they have to live by our standards when what they are doing isn't illegal?

What if people told you that you HAVE to get married and stay married even though you aren't in a good marriage? That wouldn't be right either.

I shared my opinion on the subject and made it clear I want to speak to others who agree with me. People on this site have a hard time understanding that.

well these are open forums for all to give their opinions, not just those that agree. I gave my opinion

I see no where in the OP that only people that agree can post

what do you mean you people. first mariage is a covenent between you, your spouse and GOD. in general marriage also lets everyone else know your comitted to each other. yes you can be comitted to each other without marriage but mariage is alot of things and one is that paper that lets people know out of everyone in life this is my partner i pick for ever.

you have a way judgemental heart. seek the holy spirit then youll now the true meaning of mariage

could it be instead of other people not understanding, could it be your not understanding or listening to us i find alot only want to be friends if that or just dont talk

Mandy, who put the burr under your saddle?

If you don't ever want to get married, then so be it. That's your personal business, and you have every right to make that decision.

However, the fact that you don't understand the reason for marriage does not mean that it is wrong for other people to get married.

I agree that some people do make a mockery of marriage (example: Kim Kardashian), but that fact does not mean that it is wrong for other people to get married.

Did something in particular happen that triggered your rant in the OP? If so, then I'd like to know about it, either in this thread or in a private message. I'll go easy on you because you are goth.

No, nothing specific has ever happened.

Mandy, you are going to find that everyone has a different opinion when it comes to marriage.

I know! But at least mine is logical and makes sense. NOT being married has more benefits than anything.

marriage should be for better and for worse till death do them part.The other partner is free to remarry if she or he is less than sixty years old as a widow or widower

Well, I won't preach. That's not my style. Besides, goth girls want to be kissed, not preached at.

ok to save argument lets say your idea is more logical, but the whole world and everybody in it gets to make that decission for themselfs even if you believe its wrong, everyone has there opinion and their life and the main word here is there life. they have the fight and freedom to make a choice of mariage or not thereselfs.

First of all don't talk to me about the holy spirit. I HATE RELIGION!!! If anything, I worship Satan.

But that is your opinion not a fact. Not everyone feels the same



what benefits?

well there is your problem right there your way confused. ill stop argueing right now but your lost and youll never win being on the wrong side and being in the dark

I kind of agree with you. I've been married and divorced twice. I seems like once you sign that paper then everything goes to H***. I will never get married again.
