We know that it doesn't work (more than 50% divorce rate). Our women and men have more or less equal rights and opportunities. Tax benefits are limited and in some cases can be detrimental. Legal matters can create unfair advantage do to outdated traditions. Love... is this really the only thing holding it together, because the older I get, the more does religion sound like complete non-sense and should not dictate how men and women interact.
 
There you go buddy... now you're seeing the whole picture. A++ for getting there. If you want to question things then question the government. Even more, question the true meaning of your existence and you'll be surprised that everyone is different from us and will always hold different values and beliefs.

We have to remember that individuality is deprived over conformity. You can pretty much see that everyone conforms to the standards 'set by society'. So it really depends on you how you want to live. Not everybody will think like you. So hope for the worst....

We'll all different... different minds... different hearts... this is the essence of all conflict.

Good luck finding your path.
 
I don't know - Marriage does not fit our species. Religions imposes behavior and rules so the common mortal (non thinking being) feels comfortable around the others.
Marriage does not mean a lot, rules are just made by people but people change with age...
 
God made us to love and want to be loved.
It's called "The American Deam"
Wouldn't you like to find that perfect someone to share and spend the rest of your life with? Someone that completes you and makes you happy and wants to do for you as you them?
That's what people want. Noone, not even you want to grow old alone. It's just life sweetie.
Maybe you should talk to God and ask him why?
I'm sorry for what you must be going through. I can only hope that I never lose that wonder, which I think you have lost.
 
There are those who can make a go of it, but when hearing 67 percent of marriages are on the rocks, with a divorce rate that high something is wrong.
 
I can understand where you're coming from. These days, the sanctity of marriage doesn't seem to matter and fools rush in and then they quickly rush out often broken-hearted.

Love isn't what it used to be. Too many people use it loosely without considering what they're saying and if they truly mean it which often leads to a lot of confusion and I'm not being negative here. Look at the divorce rate, it's disgustingly high.

A lot of couple nowadays simply live together and avoid marriage all together. It just seems to work best that way for some but others like the idea of finding their soulmate and sealing the deal forever which is perfectly fine but just make sure it's true love first.
 
Been married 2X - first time for love - second for lust - next time it will be for the money honey.. Marriage to me is unnecessary unless you plan to have children, I was raised in a very happy home with mom & dad and all that happy old fashioned stuff. It was good and I'm glad I grew up that way, but I don't see that happening for me and that's OK. I'm happy being single & hope I meet a free-spirited guy some day who feels the same way.
 
Beats the heck out of me. The older I get, the more I think that marriage is truly for the birds. In fact, there's a reason why animals don't get married.
