Peterson if you ever see this- thank you for the thoughtful honest clear insights that most people shirk away from expressing
There's a reason any and every higher-civilizations (anything above single-entity hunting-gathering collaborative settlements) have the institution of *_marriage_* in one form or another.
There are alternatives, I guess, but the cemented union has so many advantages and places the couple in such a sturdy position that it's pretty much _The Way_ to do things. Even including variations, it's almost always supporter-vs-provider in nature and it just plain works.
I don't know what fairytale land you live in Axelrod but in this society and in these times there's not much "cement" that holds ANYTHING together and marriage certainly suffers the same as all the rest of our societies institutions. Over HALF of all marriages fail and most do so within ten years. The per cent of children in the US of A whose blood type is incompatible with that of their father's is mind numbing. "Civilization" is just a thin veneer masking our true human nature.
Love him at the end, "Every goddamned day for the rest of your life" haha
And that's EXACTLY the kind of days they'll be!
I think that vows taken under the context of untruthfulness or immoral intentions are not binding in the sense that they were taken with the specific purpose to deceive. The Biblical thread shows that vows made in this vein, and vows unfulfilled, were dealt with in the most severe manner. God divorced Israel due to her immortality, which they displayed through many behaviors, besides their fornication with other gods. To have one marriage vow, supersede all the others, is open license to trap the betrayed partner in a meaningless, void contract. There was never a meeting of the minds. They never agreed to the same level of commitment.
In THIS society and in THESE times marriage is a dangerous game for the man. Women initiate divorce about 65% of the time and the husband loses his wife, his house, his kids , his car and an big chunk of his income. Everybody who meets at the alter, says their vows and walk down the aisle to live their lives, thinks they'll be happy together. However, about 50% of the time they end up in divorce court within ten years, filled with bitterness and acrimony. That's where the man's life takes a nasty turn for the worst. Consider for a moment those people who DON'T get married but form a long term (and hopefully childless) relationship. Both partners know the other is free do leave at any time. To prevent that they both stay on their best behavior make a sincere effort to make the relationship last. Jordan's assertion that if people are "stuck together" they'll find a way to solve their problems is patently false on the face of it. I'm too old for it to matter much for me anymore but were I a young man I'd avoid marriage like the plague.
Agree 100%.
Walter Strong that’s American women. Lol in South Korea, the possibility of divorce is almost 0%. A woman there would rather commit suicide than have a divorce. She’s basically seen as useless trash if she’s divorced in that society. Even if the husband cheats.
Marriage ruined my life. I learned my lesson. Never doing that again!!! He found another wife and had a child with her joined a flippin cult. Yep I'm sooooo done!
If both people do not commit to the health and wealth of the marriage, someone will lose. Prenups are crucial now and even then may not enough to protect the wealthier partner. Marriage has become too complex to litigate.
I’d rather have arguments from time to time then to be alone
right on the trolley on this one. badda boom badda Bing
Can also mean u can abuse shit out of wife/husband and they can't leave.its crap.marriage is crap
That isn't true - there are legitimate reasons for divorce and physical, sexual, and in some cases emotional abuse are one of them - just don't do it lightly because divorce is a dangerous thing that will affect your life and the lives of everyone you know and love ***forever***. Separation - even for years - is quite often a better alternative than that.
dammit Your right...doh
