For....no idea. Against....well, let's see here.... First, before the marriage you are two people. After the wedding, you are STILL those same two people. So what's the big deal? A piece of paper and a ring doesn't change who you are. If you are good together, what's the point? Second, that piece of paper is nothing more than a permission slip for a woman to take half your shite when she gets tired of dealing with you.  alot of assumptioms
Whatever. No matter how little the dude had...and even if she did exactly f*** all...she's still gonna get half. Oh. And she'll be getting the house AND the kids as well. It actually permits both parties to split evenly the community property,, it isnt just for the woman, and thats only if one wishes. I havent asked for one red cent and dont intend to. |

To get married, to provide stability for children and to spend a lifetime with a best friend that consists of order and loyalty to someone beside self. You can do exactly that without the wedding. I concur.

Thats true but there usually isnt the same EMPHASIS on lifetime commitment when its just shacking up,, in my opinion. For those who are religious, there also isnt the presence of God to bless the union. |

For: Nada.
Against: I've been married once. That was MORE than enough for me. Never again. |

Where I see it utterly useless to get married in order to prove something to someone or a God even...for some odd reason there are hundreds more that think that is the "right" way to go. As you emphasise in your initial post by calling someone who chooses not to get married "selfish". |

When I am old enough to TRY to live on government retirement..
which is a real trick.. Then it might be time to marry, just so we can combine our retirement to pay the heat bill

Really, it doesn't affect me whether others like marriage or not...think it means or doesn't mean something. Tolerance is a good thing. If one or the other works for you and the one you're with..if you are with someone...that's pretty much all that matters. I was married once for 35 years. I would neither base nor discount another marriage on that one. Some issues are simply personal...between the only two people who matter in this case. There is not just one route to happiness!

I have only been married once..a very long time ago. I don't feel a need to marry, however I would be open. I am done having babies, almost done raising them. The idea of settling down and getting old with one doesn't sound so bad...combining incomes for a better quality of life. Once ya hit a certain age and are happy where ya are...the need to keep looking goes away and then there ya can settle in where ya are.

marriage is a lifetime comittment
you give yourself to the other person without reservation or holdout and its a sacred trust between you and her and God. Its meant to last forever and ever until death do you part. And never ever to broken apart or abandoned or at least that's what I told my first three wives |

I recently heard a guy in a packed room ask "Anyone have change for a $5?"
4 people said " I do". And I ran screaming in fear!! Seriously, I might consider getting remarried, but she would have to be one hell of a special lady! Over the years I have come to know myself very well, I know what I can and can't live with. I will not just latch on to the first thing that comes along. I have had to start my life over too many times, and getting too much older to do it again. |

To not get married, save money, be able to live selfishly for just oneself. Both selfish concerns.

I dont consider saving money selfish unless it is at the expense of someone else. |

I think the reason to get married is to commit yourself completely to someone and vow before God your wedding vows!
