Seriously. What's the Point of Marriage?

It's not necessary. If you don't want to, you don't have to.

So don’t.

I don’t think it really matters what other’s reasons are for not getting married or for getting married. Just know at the end of the day you have that option to do whichever one you want regardless of the reasoning. I see a lot of marriages ending in divorce or just staying, but unhappy. I also think a lot of people rush into it super young, and I think it’s just odd to have the idea of wanting to be with one specific person forever and always. People grow and change so regularly that it seems like a challenge and difficult to feel that way for one person always. People just become accustomed to each other and it’s just easier to stay together, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that is something you have to do regardless of how accustomed society is to it.

The concept of marriage is not only for man or woman. It's for a better society, apart from the couple think about the child(ren). It's the beginning for the concept of a family.

Well it's optional.

The reason I'm going it is because I want the legal security that comes with it. I have no family, so my fiance is literally the only family I will have in the world.

I know the feeling. It is a personal [b]choice[/b] - don't give into pressure. Follow [b]your heart and rythm[/b]. Live your life in a way that resonates with you. Cheers 💕

All I am going to say is that I have never worried about falling out of love with my wife nor her falling out of love with me, and I have never once worried about being cheated on (in spite of the fact that it happened in my first marriage). But if you don't see a point in it then don't do it...it's your choice.

its A Prison Sentence

I'm 40 and still single. I don't care about the marriage thing. I love and enjoy my introverted solitude.
It is different strokes for different folks. It is a society that demands marriage and other stuff like that.

don't bother with marriage unless something inside you insists upon it.

I've never felt like it was my thing either.

To avoid social pressure

Life insurance

No one should be pressuring you to get married. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have benefits for those who [b]want[/b] to. Like I've said on here before, a close friend lived with her boyfriend for 13 years, and when he got sick she discovered she had less legal say in his treatment (even though [b]she[/b] knew his wishes) then his grown children who lived out of state. As his wife the doctors would've have listened to her.

Same shit here.
