Why do people get married?

[RadicalSights]

I don't get it. What's the point of getting married? The average divorce rate is like 50% for first time marriages and gets even worse after that.

Yet thousands of people keep getting married every year.

[closer]

The need to belong
The need to be needed

[martinsc]

what's really scaring is the fact that 100% of divorcing couples are married... marriage must be bad....

[CamTraffic]

Tradition maybe

[AaronM]

Tax benefits.

[Jarmusch]

Because everyone else did.

[nextri]

And how many of the other 50% who doesn't divorce do you think is actually happy?

[xxweekxx]

i keep telling it to exgfs/ and girls i know.. their answer: oh well its cause they married the wrong person..

im like you dumbasses, EVERYONE thinks its their own marriage that WILL WORK.. yet 50% divorce, probably another 30% are miserable but stay cause of the kids...

marriage is useless.. i can stay with a girl and live with her without marriage.. if you dont want kids dont get married... also, if you are not married, its easier to break up, and less messy

a huge % of the other 50% are miserable.. i know about 5 married coupes.. 4/5 of the guys complain and they stay cause of the kids

those are bad fucking odds.. yet people still keep jumping into it..

a wise man once said marriage is for the poor... basically he said if you are a very wealthy and good looking guy, you have no reason to get married cause you can pick up girls and bang all the pussy you want..

but if you are regular joe working 9-5 making $50k/yr, and you happen to get some girl, you'll keep her cause you dont know when next you are going to get another girl like her..lol

I had to read that 3 times to understand it. Hey its 4am here.

I do feel sorry for those poor bastards that marry for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times. WTF are they thinking. Wasn't the 1st divorce enough?

[Eric]

Society dictates a lot of things that people really should not be doing. Marriage, in my mind, is an archiac and out dated ritual. On top of that it is something that is ingrained into the heads of women from the time they are very young, not all, but most.

Most people have no clue who they are, let alone how they should actually function inside of a partnership. Yet, they get married, then start to realize that they are completely different and want different things from life. Therefore they end up divorced, or miserable.

If people spent more time figuring out what makes them happy, and what brings them joy in life before they jump into long term relationships, they will find they will be far happier in the long run.

This is also why the divorce rate drops a ton when people wait till after 30 to get married.

[xxweekxx]

eric what about monogamy? would you be willing to stay with a girl for life?

[bronco67]

Hold on, let me ask my wife.

Or Joe can just go to Europe and get a hot Escort to bang anytime he wants...

[MichaelP]

A guy marry a girl and wish she will never change. Unfortunately for him, she does...

A girl marry a guy and try to change him starting day one. Unfortunately for her, he doesn't ...

[candyflip]

I'm getting married for health insurance. My girl and I have been together 5 years and have 2 kids. She's been married and down that road before, so we weren't going to bother with it.

BUT...paying $350+ each month for my health insurance when I could be piggybacking on hers is getting to be a bit ridiculous.

So, yeah...people get married for health insurance.

he has to pay for the escort.. plus how many joes can afford to just go to europe and bang an escort few times a year..

case in point, in my college yrs, like freshman yr, etc, i had shit load of cash, nice car, and girls flocked to me.. i didnt even see a need to be in a relationship... i could hookup with any girl i wanted to...

Trust me when i say if you are a rich dude, and you can pull girls, its damn near impossible for you to stay faithful, even married...

[spazlabz]

i GOT married because I was young, dumb, full of cum and thought I loved her

I have stayed married because it was the smartest thing I ever did, I adore my wife, nothing fills you like real love. Real love is calm, confident, centers you and gives you strength

I have been married for 22 years

It depends a lot where do you live. In small towns or more primitive cultures it is life goal. I think that its roots are from old times where people could only live if they split obligations. Today, when you have fast food,transportation, internet,kindergardens and all this devices helping you in life, there is no need for something like that. At the end, paper means nothing (at least for me). 95% of people I know that are married are not satisfied and always tell me: "Why I need this shit for?". I am sure that many people won't agree, but this is my opinion.

My sister and brother in law had a HUGE wedding that my parents paid for.

They pocketed about $30k from the 400 or so people who attended the wedding.

So, money could be a consideration.

I've been married 12 years, been with her in a relationship before that for 7, and like anything else done in life, there are ups and downs, but we are very happy and far from poor.

I wonder what a lot of these people will think about marriage in their old age when family isn't visiting them because they're all dead, they have no kids or grand kids to take care of them and they are sitting in a chair in some shitty retirement home waiting for death to come.

did you see that thread with the former NBA cheerleader turned porn star? Holy Shit Yes I would love to hit that. But I love my wife and just seeing her smile is better for me then busting nut in some slut......could be my age talking though LOL

[xxweekxx]

why the fuck is everyone scared of "being alone" in old age.. if im 70yrs, i dont give a shit if theres anyone there.. i'll pop viagra, travel the world, meet some other old lady, and die happy.. i dont have to subject myself to unhappiness or boredom just so i dont die alone..

its all a fucking myth, MANY old people have tons of kids, yet they are home all alone and their kids have gone off.. who told you that your kids will take care of you???

thats why you should save up enough money so when you are old you have cash..... that whole yeah let me have kids so they can take care of me is all BS.. once they grow and have their own lives, you will be wiping your own shit, or it will be wiped in a nursing home.. either way your son isnt gonna wipe your shit and clean your diapers

its not about getting your ass wiped. I will say marriage is not for everyone but out of everything I have done, seen and experienced in my 43 years having a family has been the best by far and my reason for getting out of bed every day

[CamTraffic]

Cause they love each other?

[ParlourCash Karl]

Fuck this is bad, most replies to this are negative, what is wrong with marriage - my wife and I have been married for 15 years, I would hate to be in a situation that leads to me being alone on my own and having to bang escorts and have nothing to go back to...shit my wife allows that, after all we are in the adult industry. We all here earn here our income from sex one way or the other - what could be worse than working in the sex industry, being alone and promoting something that you do not practice.

I admire people like Robbie, never shy to stand up for what he thinks and does, something that could never be done if we were not married and happy.

Marriage might not be for everyone but that does not mean it is the Anti Christ, even in this industry.

Would you jump out of a plane if you knew there was only a 50% chance of the parachute opening?

[DaddyHalbucks]

The worst hypocrisy is when bible bangers criticize gays for wanting to get married, when regular marriage is in such shambles with the high divorce rate.

Yup, 100%, but that doesn't mean we need a piece of paper to tell us we love each other.

This is far from the worst hypocrisy.

My favorite is this one

Have sex before marriage, get pregnant, but won't abort because that is against GOD!

[TheSenator]

Girls can't resist big thick cock and money. Its a fact that once a woman knows she can get bigger cock and more money with another guy, she leaves the marriage.

in theory sure but despite your rich man dreams, most single guys who have never married and never have kids live in shitty broke ass apartments and when something goes wrong, no one is there and no one cares. my girlfriends uncle is one of these. he had a stroke, can't talk, can't walk. is stuck in government care and will probably be there till he dies. of course, this shouldn't be a reason to get married and pro-create but its scary to get old.

[d-null]

people do it out of insecurity mostly

So people should get married so they have somebody that is forced to be with them as they age and die? Sounds pretty shitty. Why not strive to have a full life and be surrounded with people that love you (family and friends) instead?

[Sly]

I am seeing a lot of "get married so you aren't lonely."

Sorry, that sounds like a shitty fucking reason to get married.

[xxweekxx]

yup.. people are afraid of being lonely.. WTF is this lonely shit?

personally my ideal life is ill travel around, bang some latin american whores (girls there love men 50+), basically just keep fucking, then when i hit maybe 60 and cant fuck, i'll find men my age and travel around, hire a full time nurse, and if i can still fuck, well keep fucking..

i dont see the lonely argument, you have a 51% chance your lovely wife will divorce your ass.. wtf is that, yet you are willing to trade in your balls for that

LOL, 60 is still pretty young. Live a good life, stay healthy, take care of yourself... you should be able to do all of that way beyond 60.
