How do you feel about marriage?

But I'm not married yet. In a partnership only. Does anyone agree that financially couples should be able to take care of one another without asking anyone else for help? Do you feel that both should be responsible enough to keep a car, keep up with important bills etc. I know some fall on hard times, getting laid off, accidents but there are personal reasons why people choose not to marry.

Nope I don't agree:

I don't believe that a [b]worthy[/b] married woman (with no recourse to divorce) should be responsible for a car, nor significant bills (eg mortgage) or essential bills (eg food,energy) if any - as long as she upholds her predetermined side of the union. None of my female blood relations do. It's not even a debate.

But also at the same time a marriageable woman should be an asset and certainly shouldn't approach an altar with any debts she accrued in singledom (that she expects a spouse to pay off) either. It demonstrates an untenable lack of discernment/prudence and an unpalatable abundance of entitlement.
