Default Why Get Married?

I had this conversation with someone this weekend and I really don't know why anyone gets married anymore....The only logical reason to get married is to have a kid--and its not like you have to do that....But otherwise, I can't see any sense in getting hitched.

Good question...

That's one that I should have asked myself before I got married. It would have saved me a ton of grief... divorces stink.

Cajun and I had this exact conversation this weekend.

I believe marriage is the most overrated "thing" out there. Why not just be a "couple" and when you break up... (which is bound to always happen IMO), you can keep your whole.. not just half.

Marriage doesnt mean much anymore is this day of divorce. People get married and divorced so often they should just stay "bf/gf" and just break up!

I dont even think it is neccessary for reproduction. Mommy can just get her last name changed.. so the whole family has the same name.

marriage is meaningless anymore cause people just break up anyway. also, it just gives the government more power to get into your business!

a marriage is meaningless to the people that make it meaningless. Marriage is an affirmation and commitment you make to another to share a life

you are right, it just bewilders me how many people make the commitment meaningless. but than again, according to law I will never be allowed to get married so I guess i should just have no opinion.

Remind me to print out this thread and bring it to your wedding.
