Is it worth getting married?

[emzee-frenzy]

Considering previous debates about cheating, sex and mentality, this is the question. "Is it worth it?" In my country, for instance, 50 % of women cheat on their husbands, and that procent is excluding those that lied. And 60 % of men cheat on their wifes, (they probably lied less).
In my opinion, i wouldn't ever get married given these circumstances. I mean, there's nothing i hate more than a cheating women, especially a married one. I really love feminine beauty and stuff, i'm not trying to insult onest girls. But, common man, would you get married if your wife/husband is very likely to cheat on you?

I wanna get married, but not only once, in my 45 years, I would like to have 8 kids from 6 different women or so...

If you need papers of your love, then yes.
I dont need a ring on my finger to prove it, but if the one I love does, I would be Ok with It..
And yes Its a one time only

yes..cus..when you're getting married you're not thinking of cheating on your partner or getting a divorce, so those statistics are irrelevant imo, obv if you think your partner is going to cheat on you then no it's pointless getting married, but you shouldn't be with them if there's no trust. although i don't think you should get married to 'prove' your love to anyone, maybe just to show it off.

I think when you get married you do it cuz you love and rely in your couple, so you're not thinking about cheating.
I think it's worthy if you really love ur bf/gf

I feel you, and i agree, i didn't put the right example (the statistics), but marriage is about something "more than love, it's life" as a French writer said. I don't want to get married, that's just my opinion. I opened this thread so i can read your opinions too. So everything's alright.

I'm not sure...

I don't think it's necessary to get married. It's roots are in religion, and it seems like an outdated custom now, in the modern world (unless you're doing it for the religious reason, which is understandable). What's the point? When you're with some one you "love", I don't see a point in making it official with a marriage license and a ceremony.

It's like the traditional way to make two people "one", so to speak. I don't see the advantage in that, either, losing your individuality and whatnot. Marriage can also really ruin a relationship...and then you have to deal with the fact that you're going to lose half of your shit.

I'm sure I'll see it from a different perspective later on, but right now marriage doesn't make much sense at all to me.

Yup, in my culture getting married is as important as learning how to walk........either your ready to do it or not, cause if your not your gonna fall on your ass.

Point in hand being,
Do it if you mean it, and the love is there. I hate seeing my friends being heartbroken and shit cause of the other spouse fuckin shit up. Marriage is on some grown up level, if you aint grown up dont walk the line if you think your gonna jump.

Every 7-10 minutes someone dies from a cardiovascular disease.
Every 12 minutes someone dies from a motor vehicle crash.
Every 10 minutes someone dies from HIV.
Every 15 minutes someone dies from an alcohol related collision.

So let's all just stop drinking, using motor vehicles, having sex and eating sugar coated things..

My point, every single aspect of life comes with risks. Nothing is risk free, the higher the risks the higher the reward. It's pretty pathetic to decide not to marry just 'cause the divorce/cheating rates are very high. Because the rates of death are very high as well, yet we don't refrain from living, or do we?

[Just Silver]

i think of marriage as the governments way of keeping track of you.

i say stay together without a ring

Why not? If you love each other enough, why not?
