    I don't understand the point of marriage. if you love the person then just spend the rest of your life with them. You don't have to spend 5-10k on a wedding. You can get married without officially getting married. If you want you can buy the rings as a symbol of your love.

"hey you should chose us your parents, your lover can be replaced, but you cant replace us, we are the ones who replaced you, so the money you are saving for your future, just give it to us help us pay the bills and pay for our medical bills, don't save"

People are constantly moving onto the next thing with dating apps that are in their phones, they get divorced the second something goes wrong, and there’s been institutional imbalances with women and men and things like divorce.

The divorce was painful and for a brief while after that, there was terrible loneliness and existential dread. Fast forward a few months, and I feel I have grown more as a person than I ever did being in a partnership. Yes, you do learn things like patience, tolerance and cooperation in a marriage. But that's only because those traits work for the marriage. Being single, however, teaches you far more important lessons such as resilience, introspection, strength and is a fantastic tool for spiritual growth.

When you feel you are in no way lacking compared to any other person, you slowly allow strength and healing to enter. This might not come about overnight. But try visualization in a calm frame of mind. Project your own completeness, regardless of anyone's action or attitude. And more importantly, even if you do not feel it strongly at the moment, mentally affirm, "I forgive this person, and I choose to move on. I have a better life with better people and better experiences waiting for me. So I am going ahead with my journey." Forgiving and projecting kindness on the ones who hurt us is the greatest tool there is to feel incredibly empowered. You got this and you can do it!

You cant blame someone for not wanting to be with you anymore, nor can you blame someone for promising you forever, for they really believed it at the time, these things are often learned in hindsight.

      I was quoting that statist myself until recently. Divorce (at least in the US) is actually closer to only 1 out of every 4 marriages. As for the making it hard to leave bit, I kind of view it as school. It is probably going to be stressful and we'll want to quit at different points but that doesn't make it bad. It just makes it a difficult thing that, if approached right, can be very good and maturing for us.

      I get that Dallas. I see that view point and have considered it in the past, but I can't come around to it. Not given the immense strain divorce inherently puts on most people. That's not even to mention BAD marriages (think spousal abuse) that continue because of expected behavior. As a kid, I had a friend, who's step-dad was abusive to her kids (my friend), openly cheated on her, but she didn't divorce because, in her estimation, "it wasn't what God wanted".
      With regards to the divorce rate, we could spend long hours into the night discussing the merits or lack there of of various methods, but while 21-22% of those who've EVER divorced (not including married/divorced in multiples which is statistically higher) I do go by the cohort measure rate (which can itself be picked apart 100 which ways) which takes trends and applies them to today. Quoting the Univ of Denver's Scott Stanley "It represents a sophisticated projection of a calculated risk, much like projected life span for babies born today" Heck, if you really want you can take the refined divorce rate (marriages ending in divorce within a given year) then it's only 1.9%. But I'll be fair and make a small retraction as that rate has fallen in the last several years to 40-50%.

      Most people will marry cuz they think they have found the right person & that they love that person so much that he want to commit himself or herself to the person for good so probably its an unconscious will, but when things turn bad it doesn't mean that they are bad persons or evil or that they 'deserve' costly divorce or whatever ... anyway I believe that marriage still here today cuz it's our very pure human nature ... marriage is & has always been the cornerstone of human existance ... though I don't think I'll ever get married ;)

      +ahmed said I disagree that marriage is a cornerstone, historically it has been important to control reproduction and females and to regulate exchanges and relationships between groups.
      Only in the past century has the character of marriage changed, now the only reason is supposedly love, but I don't consider marriage a demonstration of love, I think that idea is absurd, love isn't demonstrated through marriage in my opinion.
      If you love someone, you should just be with that person and share your life. I don't consider marriage necessary for that.

      @ahmedsaid3888 8 лет назад +1

      +T3MP0 You dont need marriage to demonstrate love ... no you dont in most cases I agree with you ... however, WE as a society do need marriage, you see when I said marriage is a cornerstone I meant that A family which is a result of marriage is the very basic unit in any civilized society that without it things could get pretty chaotic & unstructured in a way. this is why I'm seeing that marriage & family in the way we know it is the cornerstone of our existance.

    • @JL897139
      @JL897139 8 лет назад +4

      Yes, family is a building block of any society. BUT, different cultures have different ideas of what marriage implies, and even, of what a family means. Our western culture nowadays doesn't necessarily need people to be married to be a family.
      That's why I think marriage is obsolete, the ceremony, the tying yourself to another human being forever, the money spent on it, the hardships of divorcing, all of that stuff is not necessary. We don't need to get married. Families we need, marriages we don't.
      I don't mind things being "unstructured", they are the sign that things are changing. When the structures you are used to living in change, you are obviously going to feel they are chaotic. But I think it's positive that marriage is being revealed as to what it is: a fraud intended to take all of your money away and bring you a shitload of problems that are not necessary to have. Sure it can give you happiness, but so can being with the person you love without being married.
      I just like to think about how easier would lots of lives be if people could just separate themselves when they can no longer be together.
      This, of course, if you don't have children. If you have children getting married is necessary because it is a sign of compromise and that you are committed to be under judicial scrutiny if you don't care about your children.

    I feel like at the beginning of a relationship you’re fully fascinated about each other. That fascination stems from love. However, as time goes on you get married and start living together. You’re always around each other when not working and you both seem to know most things about each other. So friction starts to occur because most people are addicted to being fascinated and forever lusting a person. This cannot realistically continue for long periods of time especially in a marriage. So people start to complain about each other. It doesn’t mean the couple doesn’t love each other however a lot of the novelty of the relationship has been completed. Another example of this type of relationship is between your parents. You love them dearly but you can’t stand being around them 24/7. You’d rather contact or see them on a time that suits you.

    • @beautyintheskies
      @beautyintheskies 3 года назад +38

      the idea is that that complaining period you describe (called the power struggle stage by psychotherapists) is eventually resolved when you learn to love the person for who they are without trying to change them, and they accept you without trying to change you. Then you enter a period of stability and the relationship improves from then on. But many couples can't move past the power struggle stage either because they are fundamentally incompatible or because they give up too soon or because they don't understand these stages and how to ask for help.

    While I think the video has a valid point, I think it glosses over that people who already make good decisions and are not impulsive still get married. My first marriage was a disaster because we didn't 'fit'. It took me many years to finally get out of it because of the financial hole we had dug ourselves into. Not being married would not have changed that hole, or absolved me of child support responsibilities.
    My wife of 10 years and I fit much better. We have common moral values, although our political views are different. We communicate well and trust each other. We can discuss things and usually can arrive at a compromise. My favorite one is I didn't want a dog, she did. Now we have two dogs. But I don't resent why we have two dogs because we discussed it every step of the way. And I really do like dogs.
    We don't 'need' to be married, we 'like' being married.
    Someone who doesn't want to get married probably hasn't found someone they truly trust and can communicate with. They feel the need to be able to just break it off without any after effects. Which is a delusion, because all breakups are difficult. Not having the legal system to back oneself up can actually make it more difficult but not having any avenue to resolve differences. Which is probably why two people break up, they can't resolve differences.
    And someone who has found someone they truly trust, can resolve differences with, and can communicate with probably doesn't need to get married. But they will because they feel "it's the right thing to do".
    In the end, it's your life. Do what you think is best for you.
    And if it doesn't work, don't make the same mistakes the next time.

The opposite happens as well, but neither is a reason not to get married, but it is a reason that, if you are GOING to get married, to choose your spouse well. I did and I am experiencing wonderful, fun, enjoyable times, and I have been married over 20 years. Look, guys marriage is not the enemy, but picking your spouse based upon breast size is a loser every time, and this is what too many guys, like my brother, do.

If you look at facts, which is the last thing mgtows do, you will see that divorces and other marital issues inevitably arise out of choosing a mate to marry for dumb reasons. My older brother married a woman just because she lived in a very nice home, in a place he could not BEGIN to afford, and for no other reason. This type of idiocy is why most marriages fail.

Then when the women hits 30 her biological clock kicks in she wants children then the needs of the man r no longer important compared to the needs of the child his sexual desires are no longer main priority then 10-20 years pass the women has menopause which causes her estrogen levels to decrease significantly making her lose total desire to have sex and with that being said she also becomes bipolar and angry 24/7 this is why most divorces occur because the man ends up “cheating “ (finding a method of pleasure due to his stable testosterone levels ) and trying to escape verbal abuse from the female during and after menopause ...

    The problem with marriage... is the fact that monogamy simply does not work, human nature is not suited for monogamy. Marriage is outdated now in the times of tinder, snapchat and outright promiscuity. Divorce is now very easy. If one huge reason that people stay together is because it's hard to get out of, well, that only demonstrates its failure. Any argument for marriage being successful is quickly rebuked by looking at divorce stats. 50% of marriages end in divorce. And that doesn't include the marriages where people cheat and stay together for the kids, or stay together even though they are not fulfilled. Locking your self in marriage with one person is dumb, especially as a male when the court systems are set up against you. All I see these days are serial monogamists going from one person to another, thinking that it will work this time, each time disappointed. Also, the video says relationships help us become whole... This is the wrong reason to pursue a relationship.

      It's 42% of marriages that end in divorce, which means while it's not for everyone, it can still be life-worthy engagement for some.
      And if anyone thinks that another person has to make you fufilled, then it's the mistake of them and not their partner. Relationship and partners are not the end all and be all of life. Nor is poligamy or staying single. It's just a wide array of decisions in life, that brings good and bad into it.

      AxaDoble....well put. I agree with everything that you expressed. In my opinion,only a very psychologically mature couple will stay together nowadays. To maintain this,you need skills that are not even talked about in society...particularly conflict resolution skills,and the difficult skill of balancing your needs with empathy for the other person's needs.None of this is talked about much,instead marriage in the West is just an orgy of spending money that you probably should conserve and save.

    • @douglaswilliams7720
      @douglaswilliams7720 6 лет назад +8

      Shake hir....so if you have maturity and can work out problems as a couple,you will have the ability to stay together regardless. If you don't possess these skills,which should be taught in school and are not,then you will end up apart. Marriage is just a useless expensive sticking plaster to cover up the real failings of society,it encourages an orgy of gluttony and spending,and it is mainly done because society tells you it is a fine idea. Screw that, I'm out.

But I just spent my twenties watching people on tinder and okcupid, it's just so sad and pathetic. They don't want to be let down at all, they can't handle disappointment or self-awareness. It seems maybe like a millenial thing. But a real relationship is about learning to love someone's flaws and expose your own. Those dating sites are incestuous and depressing, friends end up dating the same people, no one grows from the experience, somehow protection from disease is no longer the norm.

    Our wedding does not, and will not be grand, our rings won't be worth a fortune. I'm fine with a simple wedding, even without family or friends. When I look at my wedding ring, I do not want to admire its beauty or care about its design, but want to be reminded of the person wearing the other ring, the memories we had together, and my love for them. Even if I have a plentitude of money to spend, I do not want other people's opinions or material goods to be what defines our relationship.
    I want to marry a person who accepts me for who I am and what I value, and who I will become in the future. I'm willing to accept them them same way in return.
    I'll be trying my best, even now, for the sake of all this. For the sake of my future wife and family.

Maybe that's just a fantasy and doesn't matter in realistic everyday kind of sense but if you're in a healthy secure feeling relationship prior to getting married and you feel as a couple that it is something you want to do, I think people should go for it.

    I made a proposal to my girlfriend several weeks ago. I knew she wanted to marry me but i struggled with that decision for a long time. We're together now for almost 7 years. One reason for that was the belief that the relationship would spoil my self development and life goals. But at some point I realized that a sincere relationship is the best way to work on yourself. It's easy to get along with yourself. Overcoming superficial arguments and dealing with real feelings and fears is best achieved in a trusting relationship. You never reach that point without a partner that does not reflect your behavior and values. But this kind of relationship does not neccessarily need to be a marriage. So I have respect for everyone who does not want to marry.

    •  3 года назад +1

      @Rosemary Terra He envied my independent lifestyle. I live as I please; he's stuck at home with three kids and a shrill wife. I assured him that the life of the childfree bachelor was a quiet, peaceful life, and I would never trade it for anything. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pursuing a life of independence and self-fulfillment, especially when the risks of marriage are so obvious these days. My brother and his wife are still married, I believe, only for their kids' sake. It is plain to see that they aren't happy.
      Most marriages eventually stagnate into monotony. At worst, a man can be left ruined and destitute by divorce, even when he didn't do anything wrong. I have seen too many marriages fail among friends and family. Friends of mine who married young and had kids have privately warned me, "Don't do it!"

If you can recognize these realities and attribute them to your ideals, I'm sure you'll have a long-lasting and life-fulfilling marriage

    You can agree to spend 50 years or the rest of your life with somebody without signing a marriage document. By making the choice to commit without the traditional or legal strings attached it really puts the focus on the relationship itself which if you're in it for the right reason is the only thing that matters.

    • @jt9300
      @jt9300 2 года назад +7

      Or if they insist on the legal bind, they should be free to sign a contract, but not the marriage contract which imposes government rules on your relationship. They could negotiate the terms of the relationship and consequences of leaving it, and then making it an official contract. Still way more reasonable than the traditional method

    Everything is cost vs benefit. The potential costs of marriage is: Divorce, Alimony, Child Support/Losing your children, and false accusations of rape and/or domestic violence.
    There are no potential benefits imaginable, to make those risks acceptable.

    • @drugstocope
      @drugstocope 7 лет назад

      There are! There's: Companionship, family, home, sense of belonging, legacy... Think of your own family; the bond you have with your siblings, being taken to school every morning by your parents, sitting down to eat lunch etc etc A lonely life of hook ups, partying, and looseness gives you none of these things.
      You're also going to age and it will come a point when having many partners becomes a tasteless choir-like distraction. I myself don't want to marry, but I'd like to have a family and perhaps a couple of kids down the road. I would enjoy the childhood that I lost in my kids. It would be lovely, I think.
