if they are going to get a divorce anyways (at least half of them). does a ring and your names on a paper mean that much to you?
if people didn't get married they could break up instead of divorce, much nicer and easier! what's the difference between living with someone and actually being married to them?? you could even have kids together. people should just "go out" instead of get married.

why do YOU bother getting married?

They get married so they can pay more taxes and have messy court divorces.

tradition for the sake of tradition, and to relieve the pressure and/or brainwashing to get married that is put on us by family and society.

personally i agree with you, and don't plan on ever getting married. i don't think the government needs to get any more involved with my life, and i think that ideally i would be happier with a woman who is not insecure about not being married.

I'm going to get married because I feel that if a man and a woman love each other, and want to be together, they should have a bond. Marriage is that bond. It's just what you personally believe in.

right, but none of that requires getting married, remember, you can have a relationship (even a life long one :Q) without ever getting married? even have kids? even get bj's at 3am? ;)

That's right. For marriage is a covenant unto the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ; engaging in sinful physical activity without the blessing of our Lord is abomination of the highest order, and punishable by eternal damnation in the fires of Hell. All God-fearing Christians have a duty to live lives of worship and duty, and to banish the Devil and his temptations of pleasures of the flesh. Only the pure love of the baby Jesus and our faith will overcome this evil.

That 3am perk went away after marriage. So did the 4am,5am,6am,7am,8,am,9am,10am,11am,12pm,1pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,5pm,6pm,7pm,8pm,9pm,10pm,11pm,12am,1am, and 2am perks. :frown:

I believe that to marry someone sends them a message that they are the only person you desire to be with for the rest of you life, and in that message is contained your devotion, faithfulness, love, and mutual servitude to that single person. It establishes a unit of a family to lay ground for raising children. So many of the social dilemmas today are fueled by children growing up in broken homes without two loving parents. Just my 2¢.

Tradition for the sake of tradition is by definition gratuitous. Some tradtions are founded on principals however, that whether or not you agree with the origin, they do have the capacity to promote healthy societies. It is my belief that marriage is one of them.
