    James is one of the best to listen to about marriage…two commandments out of ten are don’t commit adultery, don’t covet your neighbors wife/partner. He’s so right on this. Nothing. Absolutely nothing can build trust after failure to be faithful to your person….like if you can’t be faithful, at least give your partner the bare minimum respect to know you can’t be loyal and let them leave with their dignity in tact before you’re out with whoever wherever. Marriage is being in someone’s corner for them in life, not screwing them over.

    While capitalism has marketed marriage purely as an emotional venture, it has a very practical purpose, as a microcosm of the macrocosm. A launching pad for future generations, as marriage is the building block of family, and family is the building block further up the progression ladder to building a society.

    My understanding of marriage is a profound promise that you make to another person, that no matter what happens they have your back and will fight your corner, and vice versa. If that promise is stuck to by both sides then it is a thing of beauty.

      Absolutely, my husband and I were together 18 years, 2 kids and we married just last christmas as life kids, home all took over, we finally wanted to say after everything we have been through we will always be together. Our relationship has never been better, it's so sad that people don't get to experience the true meaning of being married.

    Life is a process and a journey.

    This comment section proves that our human brain is not able to process statistics or understand it intuitively. If you watch the whole episode, he is giving us his rare perspective and in the most empathetic way possible that marriage does simply not lead to happiness. It's full of pain in reality but as an idealistic life goal, it's still worth trying because being able to feel these pains is also what gives life meaning. Never once did he say marriage is bad so you shouldn't do it. He's saying you should use your brain, approach marriage with a rational attitude, and separate love and marriage. Love is praiseworthy. Commitment is noble. Marriage is a social construct.

    The best thing is to use your brain and intelligence at all times. Or most times. Because the question is, is it really still worth getting married if you need to take your time purposefully thinking about and collecting ideas and reasons for and against it. I mean if you have a whole pros/cons list written down and/or you feel the necessity to get a bunch of other people's opinions whether or not you need to do it, probably you should NOT go for it at all. I myself am in a 4 years relationship, married for 1.5 years, no doubts ever since. Got married at 41, came as a totally natural decision on a simple September day. Not religious, not because of kids or money, not afraid, not under any pressure. Just happy and even more convinced after.

    I’ll get married if the laws are changed, otherwise it’s lose/lose. Never sign a contract where one of the parties is incentivised to break it and depending on the laws in your country never move in with your partner, in the UK you become married in common law after two years and you sign the contract by default.

    • @Mahalah_
      @Mahalah_ 13 дней назад +3

      An unmarried couple can never be 'common law married' because common law marriage or common law spouses no longer exist in UK law and haven’t done since 1753! It is a popular myth that couples are 'common law married' if they have lived together for a certain number of years, but this is not the case. Unmarried couples do not have the same rights nor claims as married couples in the UK. Even if you live together for 30 years you would not be a beneficiary unless stated specifically in a will, and there is certainly no claim/provision on separation other than if you have children.

    The Bible discourages marriage (1 Corinthians 7:38). Religions assume that marriage is a requirement because the Bible regulates it and because God performed the first one, however, the first two humans were perfect, marriage was made for them, not for imperfect people (1 Corinthians 7:28). Imperfection causes “tribulations” in marriage. The regulations that the Bible puts on marriage are designed to make it successful despite imperfection. But the Bible does not require it because it say that those who stay single will do better. So people who need to marry for some reason (the Bible mentions *ex as one of those reasons), need to do what they can to protect themselves and their children before marrying, so that if they give up or need to escape, they and their kids don’t end up homeless.

    How do you even judge if what He is saying is right, is good. It is just a subjective opinion of one person. What he assumes is right, good may be really bad according to someone else. So what is the standard? The standard is what God has revealed to us through His prophets in the collective scriptures what we call the Bible today. What He has revealed is right, is good. Whatever I have said may bounce off your ears or irritate you just as the guest of this podcast was with comments like "Marriage is a covenant that the couple make with God...". I beg that you would turn from your sins and repent before God. Trust in Him. He will give you a new heart, new purpose with new desires, to do His will, to do good, to do what is right. Truly right.

Strange, because according to their ideology, it should be okay because I believe it’s okay! God speaks of this in Proverbs 14:12-13 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.” This man seems like he’s carrying a ton of bricks.

    He forgot that you only have to live together to be seen as de facto and legally bound in shared assets.... so you can still require a pre nup just for moving in with a new partner! Maybe staying single or living separately is the only system that would work in this guys mind. I dunno, seems like we need more community than that as a species or our social fabric breaks down. Monogamy isnt that bad. Choose your partner wisely is all and dont settle or marry for external validation. Btw im 41 and single for the last 6 years so monogamy sounds pretty nice to me now...

      Statistically, marriage is a mechanism that improves mens' lives despite the end result (divorce, widowed) - across the board, men that have been married are healthier, richer, get more sex, are taken care of when they are old by wife or children.
      Before a divorce, the free work provided by women allows for a much higher income, either through careers or running a business together. Even after a divorce, men might lose a part of their assets, but after that they continue getting richer.

    Why do you guys never talk about the marriage/divorce laws and how they all favor women and screw over men?

      The extremely bias divorce laws are whats killing marriage. Men have been getting hosed for 50 years. We tired of it and finally learning from it. It is absolutely shocking and disgraceful how suppressed how hard divorce is on men.

      Seriously the brutality of divorce on men is literally radio silence on main stream anything. Thats because the government makes money off of the redistribution of wealth. Marriage is a industry that still needs suckers.

    He is in his early fifties, divorced, 2 kids, probably all these explain his bitterness and skepticism. He of course teaches what he cannot do right?! I started watching the video twice and can never get beyond just a few minutes because his voice and demeanor are simply so unbearable.

    This man is unhinged. Not "passionate" - just unhinged. He's got some big issues to work out.
