Why do people that are in love feel the need to perform a ritual and have a legal contract?

Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you, brother. You can't have one without the other.

Marriage is kinda neat and all...if you have a serious relationship why not make it known to the world so to speak? Also marriage is a prerequisite for the existence of divorce.

So true Its like marriage is just the next step to failure.
But with that said, I still want to get married eventually. I want a wedding, even if it's just a small one. But it will probably be at least 3 or 4 years before I can even think about it.

I guess just because I don't understand marriage, doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense to other people or benefit them.

Because they get benefits and shit.

I think that monogamy can work naturally, but it's the sort of thing that has to come naturally, it can't be forced.
Marriage is a legal contract that is completely empty in the absence of actual love.
At least, that's the Western perspective... in the East it's a legal contract that you must learn to fill with love.

I'd personally mostly wanna get married cause of the benefits (you can put your spouse on your health insurance and shit like that), and it'd be fun to have a kickass wedding

I would totally get a pre-nup if I ever get married.

Marriage was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I figured it would be very similar to being faithful boyfriend/girlfriend but somehow it made our relationship even stronger and better. There is something about taking an oath out loud in front of your closest friends and family.

Yeah man, it's hard to find cows that already have milk before you fuck 'em.

Because socialization of our female population has the majority of them wanting to get married.
Its an excuse to get drunk and have a beautiful day with your new family

Why remove the extra encouragement to try and work things out? Its allot easier to bail on your commitment if you know the fire exit is unlocked

Maybe be a pre-nup requirement for him to get at the trust fund.
