Why must everyone get married?

  • Just because you made it past the 1 year mark does not mean you need to be an asshole and put pressure on the rest of us who have been dating longer

    I blame the mothers who grew up in the time where women were safe if they were married or living at home. If they were in between they were subject to being raped. I think if you give it a few more generations marriage will fade away. You can have a committed emotional and financial relationship with out being "married."

    that will never happen. the stigma against marriage will always be there

  • Well, no one has to get married. I would say probably 80% of the people I know have been married at least once.

    Most people who do it because it is supposed to satisfy basic human needs for hearth, home and family.

    It doesn't work for some for various reasons. Sometimes they couple just doesn't want the same things.

    I definitely think that no one should pressure anyone into it. That never works.

    not afraid, just want to do it on my own time. there is a certain pressure that is exerted on you when everyone you know is getting engaged

    I like the line by a comedian(don't remember who) that went something like, "Gays should be allowed to get married. Then they can be miserable just like us straight people"

    Isn't that your fault for giving a shit about other people's opinion on when you should be getting married?

    Marriage is already falling away in places like Europe in favor of people being in committed relationships with kids.

    I agree with you. I have never seen a man pressure the woman about marriage.

    I agree, but my girlfriend's mother is first generation American from Italy. Everyone of her family from her "nonna" to her family in Italy is pressing her about why she isn't married. Maybe Italy is the only country not jumping on the band wagon.

    Italy is almost as backwards about religion as the US.

    I suppose I should elaborate a little. We were together for about 9 years and then broke up for 6 months, never really feeling that marriage was inevitable (religious differences). Got back together a year ago after realizing we didn't want to be with anyone else. I've since saved up money for a ring, now I just have to find the right one. Should be married within a year or two. I'm soon to be 45 and she is 36, so having children at this point may be questionable. I guess I just enjoyed the non-married life for way too long.

    I think that's what it comes down to but I didn't want to bring religion up on tRCMB. Since you're a MOD... I'll give it a go.

    Marriage is nothing more than a contract in the eyes of the state. That doesn't have to change in financially committed relationship. The whole marriage part of the relationship is a religious agreement for a God, of any religion. We, as a world and especially a country, are becoming more and more atheist with every generation. I think as time goes on and if this belief continues, and there is no reason to believe it will stop, we will see "marriage" slow down.

  • Wedding gifts are nice. Just make sure your wife's family is loaded. Don't get married for the wrong reasons.

    I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this.

  • I am a firm believer that the divorce rate is high due to women pressuring men to get married. Don't get me wrong, men are just as at fault for giving in to the pressure and not saying "No, we aren't ready yet"
