I do..... I don't!

What's your entire view on marriage (including divorce) as of right now? Have you been married? Are you married? Ever been divorced? Parents divorced or still married? Are there any specific things that you think will make or break a marriage? Gimme the scoop, gimme your thoughts.

  • [quote]What's your entire view on marriage (including divorce) as of right now?[/quote]A near pointless and obsolete process that's religious roots are archaic and beyond our intelligence in this day and age. Aside from the tax benefits, "marriage" does nothing for your relationship besides the superficial comfort that you are somehow "more together" than you were before (even though you're not). Divorce is petty, but necessary, if we're gonna have this facade of an institution. [quote]Have you been married? Are you married? Ever been divorced?[/quote]Being that I'm seventeen, no, no, and no. And I don't plan to. [quote]Parents divorced or still married?[/quote]My parents never bothered with marriage; they realize the illusion too. [quote]Are there any specific things that you think will make or break a marriage?[/quote]...No? I assume by marriage, you mean the institution itself, not the individual relationship. If it's the individual relationship, that's a whole different issue entirely.

    • [quote]What's your entire view on marriage (including divorce) as of right now?[/quote] It is a way for two couples to earn benefits. [quote]Have you been married?[/quote] No. [quote]Are you married?[/quote] No and I never plan to. [quote]Parents divorced or still married?[/quote] Parents are still married but fight all the time. [quote]Are there any specific things that you think will make or break a marriage?[/quote] Cheating, lack of communication, no sex, always fighting about stupid shit, and things not planning on going the way the partner wanted it to go.

      • Never getting married, most likely because love is a made up thing.

        • My half-brother is the kid of a divorce. It hella sucks, cause he's always having to spend time with two seperate families whenever he visits. If you're gonna marry, make sure this person is the one. I can't -blam!-ing stand people who marry for reasons other than love.

          I have never really cared for the idea of marriage, even as a kid. I still do not care for marriage, and I have no plans to get married. I still want a boyfriend to spend the rest of my years with, but he'd better not propose to me. I'd say no. If he proposes in front of a group of people, he's dying.

          • I think marriage is just an artificial way of causing drama and having the law instigate itself into people's love lives in order to discourage adultery and such. I see it as totally unneccessary because if people really love each other, they shouldn't have to prove it so massively. And it creates so much drama for people that want to split up for whatever reason - divorce papers, court appearances, property disputes.... But if people really like that idea, whatever.

            It's pointless besides the fact it gives federal benefits. Just commit yourself to your partner, papers shouldn't decide on your commitment.

              I like to think of marriage as a test of faith to you and your partner not the whole religious concept, but as the want to share your life with your lover [spoiler]it's also a pain in the ass sometimes putting up with the other[/spoiler]

            • Marriage is a promise and promise brings stress and anxiety till that promise is broken by death or the owner.

                    • A lot of people here never planning to get married? I'm sure that will change as you get older.

                      • [quote]What's your entire view on marriage (including divorce) as of right now?[/quote] It's not really a charged issue for me. Because of the legal and societal things surrounding it, I would have to trust someone more than I've ever trusted anyone to do it. I see divorce as a good thing if there are no kids involved, but it gets more complicated if there are. [quote]Have you been married? Are you married?[/quote] No and no. [quote]Ever been divorced? Parents divorced or still married?[/quote] No. My parents are still together and probably always will be at this point. Both are past the point where a mid-life crisis could shatter it, and financially they'll be okay. [quote]Are there any specific things that you think will make or break a marriage?[/quote] Besides outright malicious intent, I think most marriages end because one partner violated the trust of the other, or both sides violated each other's trust. If I ever get married, it would have to be someone I could talk with these potential events ahead of time. I guess ultimately I don't think I'm mature enough for marriage. There are a lot of things that come with it that most people consider benefits that I just don't care about or want. I don't feel as big of a drive for sex or relationships as I feel most people do (although that may be because this board is 90% teenagers), and I really value my independence. It would have to be a really special person, someone I don't feel like I need to hide things from, for me to be happy/consider it worth it.

                        As an atheist I think it's kind of pointless other than the benefits you can get. My girlfriend is Christian and she wants to get married obviously, I don't have a problem with it, I'll cooperate. I'm not planning on breaking up with her if we didn't get married, especially once we have children. I do think a lot of people get married too early or without thinking, and I think that's wrong. My girlfriend's brother married his wife months after meeting her. I have a strong feeling that was because he was a strong Christian and rushed the marriage to have sex with her(I believe a lot of christians that believe in abstinence do this). I could be wrong, but that's just a guess. I'm definitely not going to rush my relationship for something like that, but not going to judge people that do. If I believed in abstinence I would probably already be married.
