[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.

Okay, I did. And I discovered that I was right. Kill yourself.

>shows no proof whatsoever. It had nothing to do with religion at first.

Can we try not replying to ridiculous posts?

I meant the relationship itself, obviously.

[quote]I meant the relationship itself, obviously.[/quote]Well, the biggest thing that would kill it for me would be wanting children. Not because I dislike children, either. As you know, or should know, I'm an anti-natalist, so... Kids are completely out of the question for me. The difficult thing would be bringing up the issue at an appropriate time. Additionally, dishonesty. I'm speaking relationships in general, now, because my ideal partner would also see little point in marriage, of course. If you're unable to tell me the truth, though, you're not fit to be my or anyone else's partner. The whole point, really, is to invest everything you have in this person, because you love them. So... Dishonesty isn't exactly compatible with that. What would [i]make[/i] it for me is if the above two things never occurred, as well as having the ability to carry on an intelligent conversation with me about anything. Having an open mind towards any weird philosophies I may subscribe to. Not wanting children as an altruistic endeavor, for example. If she's not open about my anti-natalism, then we're probably going to be incompatible partners. [quote]Can we try not replying to ridiculous posts?[/quote]I'll [i]try[/i]...

[quote]...No? I assume by marriage, you mean the institution itself, not the individual relationship.[/quote]I think she's talking about the individual relationship.
