i've recently come to the conclusion that i have a lot of things i want to do in life. places i need to see, things I want to accomplish. And i realized that i will never get these things done if i'm in a serious relationship.

Marriage is only for suckers if your looking for it, and or your with the wrong person but when you find the right person then it wont seem so lame afterall. I don't know, maybe that's just me being a female lol.

But maybe you're not average.

Marriage in itself is not a bad thing. The problem is that many people get married to the wrong people and for the wrong reasons. People think marriage will improve their relationship, or bring a new dimension to their life together.
Marriage should be something you do because you love each other and know you will be together until one of you dies. And even then it is just something to show the world you are together. At the moment you marry, marriage should no longer be necessary to prove to your other half that you love them.

The natural thing for a man to do is probably to impregnate as many women as possible.

The only problem I have with marriage is that it costs a shit-tonne of money.
If I could just buy her a ring and fill out some online application, tick the box 'I do', I would do it tomorrow. I really don't want to spend many thousands of pounds on a wedding. Especially a church wedding since we're both more-or-less atheist. I don't even get how it all works. You buy the engagement ring right, which is the expensive one, then the wedding ring is a less expensive band? And she still keeps the engagement ring? Does she wear it? I could commit my heart to her more comfortably without a vicar and multiple family members leering over us. And wedding discos? Drum n bass please!
Like I said, buy a ring, tick a box.

You can get married with no money whatsoever. You just won't have a legal contract. But if the marriage is sacred between the two of you, then no legal contract will ever be needed.

Yea, my wife and I went to the Justice of the Peace and said our "I do's" for $35.
Marriage is only as expensive as you want it to be.

marriage is always worse for the guy than the girl. When youre a male, and married, youre trapped. She can basically leave whenever she wants and take nearly all of your stuff. You, on the other hand, cannot.
courts always side with the wife.

It's the wedding that can be expensive. It's the marriage that can be priceless.

yeah - Im going to get hitched at City Hall, then we are going to go to Montreal. All that white dress/church/limos/hall /wedding cake, is such a racket.
I have been with my man for 4 years, I am more in love with him now, then ever. And I hope to gods it stays that way. I am also 34.
I dont think marriage is good for young people,(mostly) there is so much to do when you are in your 20's, and getting tied down seems like a good way to get to resent your partner, but thats my opinion.

I'm 21 and I don't see myself being a married man until my 30s or 40s. I see a lot of my friends are beginning to jump into the commitment, and I don't understand why they're rushing. Seems like they're clinging to security.

QFT
Im 22, soon to be 23, and im dating a girl who i have been on and off with for almost 5 years. I'm definitely committed in this relationship. No matter how mad we might get at each other this is the girl that i will always love, together or apart. but being 22 and children and rings on the horizon, im starting to get a little apprehensive. I see my friends getting engaged, too. My best friend and I, though, are stickin up for each other. Marriage can be hell. true story. even if you love each other. Relationships arent black and white, theyre grey with comprimise which is rarely in the man's favor; especially with marriage. Even pre-nups expire. It just sucks.
Plus, my grandparents are telling me not to get married til im 40. ha. theyre great. I wouldnt have children until i at least was engaged, and they would rather see me not marry til im ready than be great grandparents.

it does bode well.
I liken it to cooking the perfect curry. the longer you cook it, and the more you put into it, the more complex and amazing it gets.
unless you don't like curry.

it doesn't...
"The National Center for Health Statistics recently released a report which found that 43 percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years."
it doesn't seem natural either and i starting the believe that our species should be past this stage...
