I cannot comment regarding the laws in America, I believe, but I am not absolutely certain, that the laws covering cohabiting couples (of more than 6 months cohabitation) here in the UK. Affords the same protection as if they were a married couple, resulting in the same financial consequences should the relationship fail as would be the case had they been a married couple, with the exception of not needing a divorce. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I would marry again, because I would need the show in commitment to each other that I feel marriage brings, and I think it binds you together, making what you feel and have together even stronger. I don't believe marriage will ever go out of fashion, but whether it's through choice or personal circumstances, many couples will decide to live together and not to marry in my opinion. dutoneer I am pretty much past even considering cohabitation because of common law spouse laws |

And of equal value too !!! exactly people who keep a track record of things like that and "expect" something in return are usually bitter, or selfish I don't expect a man to buy me anything. When they have it's been because they offered. I have been known to give a few gifts myself:)....but not in the spirit of "now you owe ME" |

Not against relationships at all. All for em! I believe in marriage too. To me tho marriage is more than a ring and piece of paper. I just think society and morals are why marriages don't work anymore. well said! I believe there has been a culture trend towards the 'me', much more than the 'we' marriage is falling by the wayside as quickly as stay at home parents are,,,,, |

I don't see myself ever being married, for a lot of reasons, but I don't see it necessarily "going out of style." There will always be people who need to be married to feel fully committed to their partner, and there will always be those who don't think it's necessary. To each his/her own.

Its just a promise bond that can end up compansation if you break her and shake her before the wedding. I could picture them getting married and he's got the land title in one hand and 7 goats on a leash in the other "what is the goats problem, can't he see he is very very bad to eat the tables..not for 5 more hours". "Hold my goats while I disipline my wife for not looking after my goats probably and getting fat she's fat. |

Met a guy like that a couple months ago, dumped him for that reason. A "you kissed me twice, and I kissed you thrice, so you're not getting another kiss till you even the score " type. FO I say! Sure there's got to be a certain balance, but it shouldn't be measured & weighed. |

If she's not a virgin then no Dowry..I made her buy the rings, she wanted the marriage the rings and I refused to pay for the divorce. I think as adults we need to be accountable for our actions. First of the gold was a compansation to the Family if you took her virginity. Dowry laws(India) have not been in affect over 50 years so I don't no why we are buying rings ..where is men's compensation. So I was saying if the woman wants the marriage & rings then she can pay for 'em if she is a good woman and sticks around then I will pay her back on my death bed.
If I want the marriage then I'll pay but marrage is pass� |

Sure there's got to be a certain balance, but it shouldn't be measured & weighed. Yup I dumped someone who was stingy (and he did not need to be) his reasoning was that women were all gold diggers so he felt that he would be "taken advantage of" by spending money on dates etc....in hindsight I wonder why I bothered ... lol I also can go along with keeping expenses reasonable, but as time went on this guy was too extreme.... |

Why would a man want to get married if he can talk his girlfriend into having sex with him without the two getting married first?
These days, plenty of women are willing to have babies with their boyfriends without getting married first. If women are willing to have sex outside of marriage, then men won't see marriage as being a necessity. |

If women are willing to have sex outside of marriage, then men won't see marriage as being a necessity. I agree with this. There used to be a time when men literally had to get married if they wanted certain things from the woman they were dating, now it's all given freely, so why bother? And some women are willing to settle for so much just to be in a relationship, they don't care if the guy refuses to marry them, as long as he sticks around. |
