So If “Marriage Is A Business”...

Arranged marriage?....

People joke about it, but this sht right here would solve most of our problems. Arranged marriages are unions of families, not individuals. The pressure from both sides of the family would hold the marriage together.

Lil mama wouldnt mouth off or spend your savings on handbags if her family would disown her asss afterward. Similarly, Joe Beats-a-Hoe wouldnt dare slap his wife if all of her brothers, uncles, cousins, and father came knocking on his front door the next day with a can of whoopasss. Thats not to mention Joe Beats-a-Hoe's own family would beat his asss for blowing the money they put into the original wedding.

Foreign cultures werent stupid when they set up arranged marriage systems. I think we dont do it in the States cause the original cacs that got here were the rejects and peasants of Europe, meaning they had no meaningful family or resources circulating.

Does the average man have that kind of income?



Doesn’t make any sense.

The average man or woman aint shyt

That don't change anything I'm talking about. shyt, for all the talk these days of being entrepreneurs, being a home owner, or in general making a lane for yourself - marriage is a factor that people NEED to consider in that. If you want to marry for happiness do exactly that. Have a ceremony. Fly the family out. Do all the crazy shyt.

Just skip the part where you go to the courts and link your estate indefinitely. People can't hand wave away how significant it is that the government recognizes two individuals literally investing in one another and their financial ties. Whether its combined growth or absorbing debt, its a thing and unavoidable. Paying someone to leave is a real, preferable option for a lot of people.

miss me with the celebretity examples give me examples from real life folks

 

[Diondon]

Now I'm not an marriage expert but let me speak in generalities here
Married men who say their wives made them better, probly aint had much ambition to begin with.
Women want the finished product, not the work in progress.
Work on yourself, self-improve and aim for self actualization.
Seek a partner on your level that contributes equitably.
It's a crap shoot. It might work, it might not

Explain?

 

[42 Monks]

Explain?

Seriously? The whole "arranged marriages are great" thing only exists because people revisiting the idea assume that both parties will be on equal footing. Obviously, they rarely are. The result is blatant human trafficking, formalized financial bondage and coercion of entire families, and a truckload of abandoned children.

It got so bad in many cultures that people weren't even offered marriage. They were lucky to be considered recognized concubines and servants. And because the financial gaps between the higher and lower were so extreme, people couldn't even say no anymore.

Its a terrible system that's been wiped out of most cultures for a reason. The ones that haven't are legitimately fukked up for it.

I don’t feel that way

I always thought it was a spiritual and emotional union that should last a lifetime. Well at least thats what I was taught. Couldn’t imagine creating a whole family and life with someone and thinking of it as “business”. smh

It’s business. Hence why it needs a license.

All of that requires the FATHER to be active in the daily lives of their sons and daughters as well as teaching them things that is more important than quick money, like dignity, respect, and honor. We need fathers in the household again, on top of revamping marriage laws.

This. Women really became trash when fathers were put out of the homes.

What do you bring financially to the table compared to your husband?

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

If brehs are with someone they want to take it to the next level with then present your credit reports to eachother. Have conversations on where you want to be in life and what is important to you. Preferably you should talk these things before having sex.

Marriage has been good for me. Made me actually become a stable person and think about the future.

Preach and me as well. I’m getting married and it all involved what you just wrote. People don’t have the uncomfortable conversations first.
