If you're in a relationship for more than 4 years and you're not married, what's the point?

[Apollo Creed]

Precisely ....so why does the paper matter. Im reading your title

Oretty much if you with someone for 4 years, live together, etc in most non white cultures that person is your husband/wife.

Black folks confuse themselves having to conform to a culture that isnt theirs and this is why most marriages end up in shambles.

Y'all keep listening to these


Don't marry anyone TIL YOU'RE READY!!



Ain't no time limit fam....it could be 10+ years....walk to your own beat! These single mom raised clowns will have you messed up in the game

Some women make excellent girlfriends but you just know would make a terrible wife. If I can keep a good thing going why not? It's only a waste if the female is more into the concept of marriage than you.

All marriage does is tie up monies and property.

Basically marriage is a life preserver for women..

If you don't have kids together, there's no reason to be married.

Bingo. I would add 'or don't plan to have kids' as well

There’s a correlation between a decline in marriages and the stagnation of wages.

Maybe the government doesn’t want marriages because the economy is designed for single employees. If marriages were good for the economy you would have more homes available. How many TVs would be sold if there were not that many homes? McDonald’s would have lower revenues because a wife would have the husbands income at home and she would probably be cooking and cleaning.

If you want more marriages you have to look at the tax code. Have you ever paid a daycare bill? A good day care is the price of a Maserati.

The government, corporations, and banks want people to stay single because singles want to spend more, and also need to spend more.

Two single people mean two separate cars, two separate residences, 2 separate sets of bills, etc.

Take a couple that gets married young. The amount of stuff that they need to buy gets almost cut in half, minus clothes and toiletries.

No relationship is like the other, but I'm personally of the opinion that in general, a dude should know in a year or two of an exclusive relationship whether or not the lady he is with is marriage material. For me? If I can't see you helping me raise kids, I can't see a ring.

Doesn't mean you have to be married in four years. No telling what life throws at you (maybe the $ ain't right for it, or you're not quite where you want to be in life to marry).

You don't have to be married in four years. But it definitely should have been discussed by that time.
