Well make sure he really loves you. Marriage is a very big thing. Younger people/kids shouldn't do it IMO!

Marriage is a covenant that you as a couple usually make with God. It is therefore something that is instituted my the mighty and everlasting father. I do believe that it is something that need total respect and honor because it is a way of worshiping God. marriage itself is also not a bed of roses and you will have to  go through very many challenges as a couple and it is always advisable to have them handled by the two parties.

Also, that^, is another reason why I think it's ridiculous. Unless believing in that sort of thing floats your boat and you need it to give you meaning and whatnot, then all the power to you.

I would never go through with a traditional marriage. The idea of being legally bound to someone "forever" (or, having to jump through the hoops to get out when it goes sour) is terrifying to me.
A pagan marriage, sure, as a gesture of (current) commitment and celebration, that can be evaluated and you can choose whether or not to renew/continue. But traditional marriage is absolutely ridiculous. Especially in a day where we view each other as rather replaceable. I wouldn't want to put myself in that position. Don't get me wrong, I love and commit with full intentions of doing everything that I can to make it work; however, I am not so naive as to believe that nothing could go wrong and end us, for the better.

Why do I need to legally bind myself

my best friends, a couple, and probably the only peeps id call friends, have been together since just after school. 20+ years by now, have two awesome daughters, never got married

the chick used to say: why should I marry just to get divorced?

 Statistically speaking they would have had a 50-60% chance of staying together for life had they gotten married and only a 10% chance of staying together as an unmarried couple with children (and only 3% if the children reached 16 years of age!) so it was no mean feat staying together outside of marriage.
 I know a couple who were cohabitating for 18 years and the woman spent over $100k in lawyers fees over custody of the children and division of assets when they split; I don't know how much her partner spent.  The process of disentanglement was no less onerous or costly than it would be for a legally married couple.
 Interestingly, 93% of couples who stay together are married before having their children.

It can be very difficult, especially if communication is not your strong suit. It can be done successfully, however that is rare.... for good reason.

Before we start this discussion, I would like to point out that this is NOT a discussion about whether you think gay/straight marriages should be allowed or not.

This is a discussion about marriage itself, regardless of genders.

My opinion has always been along the lines of:

Why do I need to legally bind myself (at least that's how it functions in the USA) to someone in order to show my love?  I feel like I should be able to show love to someone just by being a part of their life.  Every relationship is an opportunity to learn something new.  It shouldn't need to involve the law.  I understand there are benefits, such as tax reductions among other things, but I am mostly talking about the show of affection.


Have you ever been married?  Ever been through a divorce?  What's it like?  How does it make you feel?  What are the advantages and disadvantages?  Is it worth it?

Discuss.

 Marriage isn't to demonstrate your love and affection.  Your premise is illogical which means that your conclusion is invalid.
