Is marriage a fukking joke now???

What is the origin of marriage

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Marriage was a glorified business merger between two houses. People understood that they were going to go forward and build. We're talking about a time when men worked and women supported that.

Now it's just a outdated institution.

when you are talking about marriage, you are talking about taking a huge step as a man. you are talking about being responsible, being a leader, being a man of high confidence and faith. the institute of marriage is fine, it's the people who get into it that you have to question

"i keep my hoe broke, barefoot and in the kitchen COTDAYMIT..let a hoe get sum money and she get confused, a bytch and confusion don't mix dats why If a ho don't have no instruction, she's gonna be headed for self-destruction, nam sayin?

I agree with this.

I think more people are more in love with the IMAGE of being married than with each other honestly.

Divorce rates peaked in the 1980s. They are actually on the decline. Probably because less people feel the need to be married. Its not for everyone.

While this is true divorce rates were so high back then because it was a new phenomena. Divorce wasn't easy to do legally nor was it socially acceptable or religiously for that matter. Once feminism hit and women gained better work rights and some independence. What's interesting is divorce rates for low income couples between now and the 80s are close while the rates for higher income couples have declined. Cheaper to keep her?

These are celebrities, who knows what types of fukker goes on in their lives. Also when choosing marriage people must really know the person in and out, have the same goals and aspirations. Work needs to be put in to make a marriage strong and maintain it's strength.

Exactly. If you live your life online, reading celeb gossip (they stay getting divorced), and threads in thecoli, you'll probably think marriage is a joke because you're over saturated with shyt stories. People are cherry picking the bad news and no one is celebrating the good news (if you want to find evidence to support either side you will find it. People here have an agenda that women are bad and marriage is bad so what kind of stories will you find here?). There are plenty of people in strong loving marriages. Like cinnaslim said, you're more likely to find someone who wants marriage and knows how to work on it now more that ever. Don't let these stories kill it for you if you want it.

Most ppl dont admit it but a lot of the time, marriages that tend to last longer usually either :

A- The woman has no problem with the man cheating as long as he's a good provider and doesn't create any side babies and of course doesnt bring her any STDs....a lot of women leave because of cheating though....if a woman has a problem with cheating then she probably just shouldn't get married, a lot will argue against that but its true, if you cant deal with any cheating then u might as well not even bother because it will happen

B- The woman is bisexual and willing to have threesomes or whatever else the man wants/ok with an open marriage

C- The couple had an understanding/arrangement from the beginning, married solely for business/financial purposes. A lot of military ppl do this. They "like" the person but the marriage wasn't mainly for love but for benefits and combine their assets. Most of the ppl i know who married for that are still married, only time it usually goes rocky is when one forgets the real reason they married.

I'm not getting married unless I receive a dowry

 

[Ziggiy]

This is facts

Marriages lasted when they were seen as a business relationship between families and emotions was an afterthought

When marriage started to be seen as some lifeling emotional commitment it became a complete joke.

Still. The concept of FORCING two individuals into a lifelong commitment simply for business reasons is just as silly and non-progressive as marrying based upon emotion.

I agree

I'm just saying when it was business it had a stronger foundation than emotional people who want someone to sign a contract

marriage is great if you get married to your high school sweetheart but most of us were lames so we are unable to get married in our mid 20s.
secondly, lot of women do not know how to cook.
