Do you believe in marriage?

Why or why not?

Do you think you're against it because you're influenced by the current ongoing narrative that there isn't one person for everyone or do your opinions actually come from your own experience?

I'm back to not believing in it anymore after some experience with almost getting married. The engagement failed, and I got back with a different ex I had intentions to eventually marry, who that ended up backstabbing me anyway. I tried to change my heart on marriage at the time to "be a good Christian," but I have come to the conclusion my initial instincts were right, and that marriage and certain types of relationships are not for me. Which is fine. I think this was all for my higher best, even though it hurts sometimes. I saw my parents divorce and was subject to much abuse I do not want to re-experience.

Now I am having more spiritual evolution, and I am more focused on seeing that unravel in a way that will lead to more fulfilling relationships and a better life in general. I don't think my personal path involves marriage. Perhaps some people need to experience it, and some don't. Every person's path is their own.
