Is it only marriage, or do you guys invest in other things that have over a 50% failure rate?

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
You asked why does one need to sign a legal marriage license. The answer is for legal reasons.

A list of reasons:

State-Granted Legal Marriage Rights
  • Assumption of Spouse’s Pension
  • Automatic Inheritance
  • Automatic Housing Lease Transfer
  • Bereavement Leave
  • Burial Determination
  • Child Custody
  • Crime Victim’s Recovery Benefits
  • Divorce Protections
  • Domestic Violence Protection
  • Exemption from Property Tax on Partner’s Death
  • Immunity from Testifying Against Spouse
  • Insurance Breaks
  • Joint Adoption and Foster Care
  • Joint Bankruptcy
  • Joint Parenting (Insurance Coverage, School Records)
  • Medical Decisions on Behalf of Partner
  • Certain Property Rights
  • Reduced Rate Memberships
  • Sick Leave to Care for Partner
  • Visitation of Partner’s Children
  • Visitation of Partner in Hospital or Prison
  • Wrongful Death (Loss of Consort) Benefits

Federally-Granted Legal Marriage Rights
  • Access to Military Stores
  • Assumption of Spouse’s Pension
  • Bereavement Leave
  • Immigration
  • Insurance Breaks
  • Medical Decisions on Behalf of Partner
  • Sick Leave to Care for Partner
  • Social Security Survivor Benefits
  • Sick Leave to Care for Partner
  • Tax Breaks
  • Veteran’s Discounts
  • Visitation of Partner in Hospital or Prison

And there's plenty more. If you are truly trying to build a family you'd be an idiot not to marry.

actually tax lawyers will tell you that it's minimal

and that's assuming your wife/husband has good tax/loan/credit standing.. if one of you owes and the other gets back, did the one who gets back gain anything?




but again my point.... which nobody seems to have any type of answers for.... what happened to LOVE??

i'm seeing tax breaks... getting in the delivery room... getting to her death bed


i'm sorry... what the hell does any of this have to do with becoming one under the eyes of god?? where does the bible mention a license?

LOVE is an emotion state that comes and goes like the wind. You may Love someone for 2 years, get married and wake up one day and realize you don't love them anymore. Why sign a lifetime contract when shyt can change just like that....

Nah, love don't just turn off like that.

And marriage should be based on more than just love.

Now you keep being dumb. I told you to google it. Yet here you are telling me it's dumb and crazy

If you did what I said. You'd see articles from medical professional, forums for women asking for advice, and men who have all gone through their wives not letting them have access to the birthing room. But keep on with your agenda


Second. This scenario was because breh brought up something. So once again you are just talking with no history on how we got here


He said his girl was having a baby and he left for supplies or food. When he came back, they wouldn't let him in and she was sleep and they wouldn't wake her. So if he was married it wouldn't have happened

I replied I wasn't married and did the same. The hospital gives you a wristband so a wedding ring wasn't necessary.

He then says if she says you can't come in, that wristband won't matter. To which I said, if she said you can't come in, that marriage won't matter either


That's how we got here. I didn't just pull this convo out my ass to shoot down marriage. As a matter of fact, my main point has never been don't get married. My point is marriage is about God and love. Get married, just don't get the us government involved in it.
I see now. I missed the hours of back and forth, but how can you get married and not have the govt involved? marriage is about way more than just love imo.

is that my problem?? we not married no more... and as stated, most women leave... maybe they should be thinking about that before they up and leave without working on the marriage as the lord tells them to do right??


but nah... lets completely ignore the religious parts of marriage... like til death do us part

lets just jump out the window onto our safety net of "i didn't get a job so pay me"

And there you have it ladies and gentleman. [/thread]

I am certainly glad that you chose not to get married. Selfish people really shouldnt be in any relationship, marriage or common law.

I wish selfish people opted out of parenting just like they are opting out of marriage


Who cares if a child's mother is destitute... It won't harm the child in any way.

Breh every one that gets married thinks they are smart and are marrying the "right" one

More than 50% of them are wrong!

Good Luck

bruh this aint no different than anythin else in life....you choose badly and you're fukked - Period. Just like in business, if you choose badly or make the wrong investments you could lose a lot...just like in sports if you make the wrong play or miss the shot you lose the game...anything in life you can name.
