What’s the point of marriage if it’s going to go to shit anyway?

[emptyblu]

50% of marriage ends in divorce, husband complains the wife is too naggy and uptight, wife complains husband dosent love her like he used to, one of them end up cheating and the kids are forced to witness it all crash and burn.

I recall many people sharing stories of how their friends have dead eyes ever since they got married or how they are so miserable bein stuck with their horrible spouse and you don’t really get appreciated enough in the relationship and your partner unfortunately takes you for granted.

Being a wife or a husband sounds like a thankless job so why do people still bother doing it?

I like Doug Stanhope's take on marriage. If marriage didn't exist would you invent it? "baby this thing shit we've got between us is so good we have to get a contract and get government, lawyers and judges involved!"

Love shouldn't need marriage to confirm it. Alot of law no recognizes thst you are to share assets after a handful of years anyway.

So why waste it all on marriage?

Because the nuclear family is essential for society to function.

 

[Kabuki Actor]

That is why marriage is purposeful. You need to secure your own heat when every heart is freezing.

You have been the victim of a psyop.

It's with long distance the absolute best you can do for children. And as a result, for society and the future.

Also if marriage was bad for you, you wouldn't be taught to despise it by jews. Who often themselves are married.

in a world with no-fault divorce and legal adultery, marriage is indeed worthless.
in a world without them, marriage is great.

Men who bitch endlessly about their wives are no men at all. If there are kids involved and you fucked up so badly picking her that you hate her now, that's on you and you should suck it up as another in the long line of mistakes you'll make in your life. Crying to your bros about it just makes you look like a pussy because you're a pussy.

Most dysfunctional marriages that I've seen are a result of two immature jackasses having a constant power-struggle over the pettiest shit imaginable. So, if you're an immature jackass who gets married, that probably won't go well for you. Neither will the rest of your life though, so it's no real reason to avoid marriage.

I think folks are rushing. I've known a few folks who got divorced within a year. Tried to stop'm considering they hadn't even lived with each other for more than a year.

 

[Shield Breaker]

The 50% thing is misleading. Most of those are the same fuck ups marrying and divorcing each other.

I bet the main problem why many marriages don't work out is the fact people marry too early into the relationship, where the rose tinted glasses are still on and make everyone blind to the short comings of the other. What might at first seems endearing can turn over the long run into an annoyance.

There's also the problem where the wedding to one member of the relationship is the ultimate goal (mainly on the women's side but there might also be some dudes like this). A lot of women say they want to have a fancy, big, and perfect wedding but never even think about wanting to have the life of a married person.

To me, personally, marriage is just a contract akin to the fusion of two cooperations and not necessary to have a fulfilled and loving relationship. After all, you gain a few economic benefits through it and that's it. The love won't become more just by wearing a white dress for one single day (or rather just a few hours), throwing some flowers, and exchanging some feel good vows and two pieces of fancy jewellery.

Normalfags are NPCs that just get married for the sake of marriage. There's no thought put into any of it. They just do it because "That's just what you're supposed to do" or whatever the fuck. The only rational reason to get married is if you value passing on your genes.

That’s the worst part about marriage. When the honeymoon phase is over the husband or wife starts to bitch about you, and list everything wrong with you and then they go and cheat on someone who makes them feel “young“ and “free” like they were before marriage. Honestly that thought depresses me I don’t want to be the source of someone’s misery and then get blamed by everyone including my own spouse when it goes to shit.

Without no-fault divorce, you simply create the incentive for spouses to fabricate grievances against one another to drag the process out and inflict maximum damage: a very bad idea. If people actually wanted to stay together, the marriage laws wouldn't matter. To pretend otherwise is simply a cope.

And LOL at the idea of making adultary illegal. Imagine being such a loser that you need the government to stop your spouse from thinking she can do better.

stop listening to dumb boomers who instead of owning up that they've played a part in their messed up marriage decide that it's best to talk shit about the whole institution even though there are plenty of happily married people.
