Marriage? Yes or no?

Do you still believe in marriage? What about if you are older, have been married and divorced? Do you see the need to do it again? And why?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M Best Comment
Don't even believe marriage should be government sponsored.

Keep government out of it, as long as it's of legal age.

Marriage is a religious preference which government has no place.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat it's far, far more than that, yet this is not the place to say why.
@DeWayfarer I don't understand why it's not the place. Isn't the topic following post? But it's fine, we don't have to talk about it. It's getting late for me anyway. I have no hard feelings.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat answer is simple. This is group is neither a political nor religious group. So far from either that it would be off topic.

I wouldn't do it again

No, no, no, no, no, no, never ever again.
graphite · 61-69, M
@redredred The deck in divorce is stacked against men. The state and the wife vs the husband. And women file 75-80% of the time but get sympathy when they do while men are presumed to be at fault.

32 years of wedded blitz right here.
@goliathtree that wasn't autocorrect was it?
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
I think society and people have gone in a direction that's not really my thing. I don't doubt there are good people in the world, but frankly, I've stopped bothering to look. Marriage/romance - same conclusion for both.
Mbingh01 · 61-69, F
@PhilDeep yeah, I feel ya😊
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
I’ve been Happily married for 16 years. Never looked back
Mbingh01 · 61-69, F
@ElwoodBlues that is awesome! Congratulations 🎉❤️
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@ElwoodBlues Awesome. Congrats to you both and here’s to many more 🍻
@WintaTheAngle Likewise!!

My partner has been married twice. I have never married. We have been together 16 years. Even if we wanted to get married, we couldn't afford it. The main problem that we may face potentially is that I own the house. If I were to die without leaving a will, my partner would have no claim to the house. She would be homeless. Even though she has paid for the majority of the renovations and furnishings.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@Mbingh01 yes I know. It's something on my list of things to do.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
It's a very long list. 😉
Mbingh01 · 61-69, F
@Jacko1971 do it asap! My brother died at 43 in a car accident. He had 3 kids. Two from first wife, and a 3 year old from second wife. He had no will. It was an ordeal.
Never really been married. I dunno, have I ever really believed in that.. it is nice but maybe I have never thought or dreamt that I would be 🤷🏼‍♀️




Maybe one day ;) 🤷🏼‍♀️
Repete · 61-69, M
I’m not looking or planning on trying again. I’ve been single the last 10 years, my daughter has grown up and has a place of her own . I’m happy the way things are for me now with the only one I’m responsible for is me with nobody depending on me.

I do believe marriage can be the best for two people facing life’s challenges together if they are sure the love and commitment is there.
I still love my first wife, my second was a disaster.
revenant · F
I believe in marriage. Unfortunately I got used by a gay guy for appearances.
Mooed78 · F
I wouldn’t marry again
SW-User
@Mooed78
Mooed78 · F
@SW-User are you proposing? Lol
SW-User
@Mooed78 And you rejected me😩
I wouldn't.
If I were a widow and wanted a significant other, I wouldn't shack up in the same household and wouldn't share a bank account or property.
If anything went wrong, there'd be far too much hassle in dealing with physical separation, and the likelihood of the poorer one suing for half the riches of the wealthier one.
Torsten · 36-40, M
no i dont believe in marriage at all.
I was engaged at one time and that was enough for me to see just how it changes a relationship. There is no benefit for men to get married anymore. Its basically a really dumb move for men.
70% of marriages end in divorce now. Those odds are not something I would like to play a part in
I would probably live with a person. One marriage is enough for me. It's not that I don't believe in marriage, it just seems like there's an expectation for a person to play the "marriage" game. That could include a lot of things, like going to a family Holiday thing, etc. I just don't see myself doing things like that.

No one sets out to get divorced. I’ve been married, a carer, divorced , remarried. Overall married 46 years. But I would not marry again, just live on the memories, and enjoy life in the present.
Repete · 61-69, M
I agree, I’ve had two marriages. Great times, bad times but I’m done can’t or don’t want to do it again.@SW-User
Depends on the person. I had a girl tell me once she thought we should get married, but I never took her seriously. Do I want to get married? Sure! Just a matter of finding the right partner.
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
I believe it’s a personal choice. Once is enough for me. If something every happens that I’m not with hubs, I will not be saying “I do” again.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
@Pinkstarburst ^^ This ^^

Oh, and ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fertilization · 36-40, F
You often need someone to talk to other than kids, parents, siblings etc.

At night, bedtime conversation with your spouse makes you feel so better. 😊
I suppose it could work out, but it seems exceptionally rare and difficult. I'm likely not cut out for it, I'm not sure many people are.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Did it once. That is enough.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Mbingh01 yeah 48 years.
Mbingh01 · 61-69, F
@Degbeme that is wonderful! I hope it’s a happy one ❤️
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Mbingh01 Yeah, she is a good woman.
I long for a stable relationship but I don´t think I am ready to marry again.

Only time will tell.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
I don't really understand the need for it in the modern age. Seems like an unnecessary complication.
I believe in it. I believe in a lasting love. I would be open to marriage again after a lot of consideration.
Lilymoon · F
considering the dating scene these days I'm glad to be off the market 😆
Jeephikelove · 51-55, F
I do believe in marriage, maybe because I’m single and still a little bit of a dreamer.
akindheart · 61-69, F
No. I have too much to lose. I was married and divorced once. No, i don't need to do it again.
SW-User
Only if it is with the right person, for the right reasons
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Probably not. I'm more concerned about financial security.
Wiseacre · F
I have a significant other but no need to tie the knot...neither does he.
Iwillwait · M
Of course I believe in it, no, I am not doing it.
Nebula · 41-45, F
I want to get married 🫤
goliathtree · 56-60, M
@Nebula You would be a catch for certain!
Nebula · 41-45, F
@goliathtree thanks 🥺
Rhodesianman · 56-60, M
No never been there done it never again
pdockal · 56-60, M
No need to get married
Emjay · 18-21, F
It has its merits.
Nanori · F
Nope no never
Wiseacre · F
I never believed in it for myself. I don’t like the kind of person I am forced to become in a marriage...my partner agrees. Marriage is stifling for women...like a prison.

Yeah and yes because it's a conformation and the law.
SW-User
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
I do. I did it once, and I'm going to do it again.
Since marriage is an official joke now, I guess I don't be in marriage, but I do believe in the permanent faithfulness to the girl I wed
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
I'd rethink my choices, for sure. I'd never marry again, at least would not intend to do so.
SW-User
No. Been there done that.
SW-User
Marriage serves no purpose other than to make humans waste ridiculous amounts of money, on completely absurd and wasteful things (e.g., a dress you're only supposed to wear once in your life)

Marriage is a joke
SW-User
I have asked PrincessRoarBuddy to marry me a few times before ................................... sadly.

She wants Matty's assets more then mine
empanadas · 31-35, M
Only for visa purposes. Thinking of leaving the USA, marriage is a great tool to get citizenship faster in other countries than the typical amount of time. However, I prefer just being in a relationship without having the courts and states involved
Nanori · F
@empanadas come gimmi that visa
