Is Marriage Becoming Obsolete?

For some people. However, the statistics have been proven out time and time again - the majority of people say that having children did not have an overall positive effect on their lives.

Keep in mind I have a child. And I think more like you - but the statistics don't lie - it's not for everyone.

That's only believable if you're asking people who never wanted children in the first place; which is an increasing thing with teen pregnancy being so rampant these days.

If you're asking people who've wanted children and had them at the right time in their life, I believe it would be a totally different story. I have an 11 month old, and while it can be really difficult (we have a very tough baby to deal with), it has been a positive on my life.

thats one of the benefit of marriage.

also the most rewarding thing EVER in the history of LIFE is having a child and seeing that child grow from a baby to a toddler to a child, etc... people who grow businessess and corporations get satisfaction in that but nothing touches your heart more then growing a human being and seeing your blood in that child.

it is the purpose of life and marrieage is another important piece in the realm of a family.

Don't kid yourself, married chicks are easier to bang than singles.

Marriage is pointless if no kids are involved...if there is kids then marriage is necessary, but marriage should not be forced because of a kid...Don't be stupid and have unplanned kids / marriages and everything will work out good...

I wouldn't say its pointless. If you have a solid partnership it can be beneficial to both people. 2 people working as a team.

That's called trust, not marriage. What because you've got a piece of paper saying you're an item she can't screw with another guy behind your back? Don't delude yourself. Marriage means nothing if two people truly love and trust one another. If you think Marriage is any more than a piece of paper then you're using it as an excuse to stay with someone or to convince yourself that they'll never leave you. Marriage isn't obsolete because love and trust are obsolete. It's obsolete because people finally realize that it doesn't mean anything. It's just some obscure religious bullshit that should have died out centuries ago. Unfortunately mankind is slow to advance.

Wrong. Marriage doesn't mean anything to some people, it does and can mean something to others.

I see nothing wrong with marriage if it's between the right 2 people, and if they're doing it to make a conscious decision to take the relationship to the next level, and to celebrate it as well. What's so bad about that?

You can sit in a room one day and say to your girlfriend "I love you but I don't want to get married" and you guys can both agree and continue on eating chips. Okay, good for you, not going to sit here and judge that. But to sum marriage up as "obscure religious bullshit" is incorrect.

We just consider ourselves fortunate to work out really well with each other. We knew each other for years before getting married, and also didn't live with each other.. Everyone told us how drastically different life will be post marriage and also living with each other and those 2 things changing over night. We didn't want to be naive and say "we don't think so", but it really wasn't different at all. We already knew each other, we didn't have any surprises that a lot of our friends experience once they really got to know the other person.

But to each his own. If you think marriage sucks that's fine, but personally it's been good so far.

agree with you. beside that, marriage makes me very appreciated and so loved
 
I don't know much about marriage and neither much about business. But like with any endeavor, I would run a cost benefit analysis on it. What are the benefits and risks of getting married vs just being in a close relationship and living together?

I know one thing, it's better to have a significant other taking care of menial things, while you up your AM/IM game to get more hits and make that dough.
 
Marriage down. STDs UP. Cause and Effect case study right there.
People are just soft and selfish these days. Guys cry like bitches, and we forgot the trust of a hand shake. Marriage is a hand shake in a way.
Children need two parents to be mentally stable and healthy. It takes like 18 years to raise them, sometimes more. Were not animals, you cant just drop them off on grassy hill after 6 months.
Not sure how you can say its outdated. Next thing you know having kids is updated and unnecessary. Then western societies fall, and china rules the world.
 
Alright guys, you heard him. If we stop this marriage thing China will rule the world. Hurry up and get married.

Been married 3 yrs and been together a total of 9 yrs. Like guerilla said, if it's with the "right broad" it's great. We see our friends getting married a lot now (I'm 27) and it's like WTF are these idiots getting married for? Don't know each other hardly (sorry but knowing each other for a year isn't truly knowing each other), blatantly obvious it's they're a poor match, etc etc.. It's no wonder marriages fail and have such a bad rep, no one knows what the fuck they're doing in a relationship or know how to manage one.

From what I understand the origins of marriage weren't religious at all and only became rooted in Catholicism in the last few hundred years (since about the 1500s). It became an institution of religion in more modern times, not centuries ago.

LoL at the douchebag that said arranged marriages are the way forward. Man there are some real idiots around here these day.

I've been with the same girl for 18 years and we're not married and have no intention of getting married. It works for us but to each their own. It's no one else's business and no outside forces should ever play a part in deciding whether or not you should or shouldn't marry.

Obviously the people that think marriage is obsolete have never loved someone.

? You need a piece of paper to tell you that you love someone? I've been with someone for nearly 20 years now while people around me marry and divorce all the time, it means nothing.

Good for you, but if you were together and not married she'd be fucking about would she? If so you're married to the wrong chick.

Facebook membership up, STD's up. Cause and Effect case study right there. Correlation != causation, I would have thought most people on here would understand that.

Having a kid or getting a mortgage is more of a commitment to someone than marriage, which is just a piece of paper that all the sheep think they need to fit in.

1) Unless she cheats on you (most women are lying, cheating whores)
2) Who the fuck eats pussy every night? Do you also dust the shelves?

Right, because you can't have a child if you aren't married.
 
Who cares? Do it if it's right for you or don't if it's not. Not Rocket science, people.
 
I think it's becoming obsolete, because people is not seeing any advantage in getting married, what does a marriage mean when there is more important things like love? You could be married, but if your wife doesn't love you... what does that marriage mean for you?
 
The kids are a lot more settled when their parents are married.

My grandad passed away 10 or so yrs ago and every single time I see my nanna she will be talking about him - always has been very loyal and they got married at a very young age (which was seen as the thing to do). These days I don't see this. Let's say something happened to a buddy of mine or he had to work abroad etc and a few weeks later the women went on a night out on the booze... would you trust her? A big problem here in the UK is the booze culture (and the celebrity culture). Women go out at the weekend and get absolutely trashed and booze definitely changes them. I know everyone's different and am not being sexist here (both can be as bad as each other), but I can only speak from the point of view of being a dude. Today, one in three marriages here in Britain ends in divorce so something has certainly changed in modern times. I think Sweden tops all countries with a 60% divorce rate.
