You can't raise a family, or properly manage a relationship without that contract.

That's nonsense, breh. There's no powers or benefits bestowed by that contract, other than some marginal tax benefits. All it is... *ALL IT IS* is a set of exit penalties (usually bestowed upon the man) on your relationship.

You can still buy your girl a ring (if you feel so inclined)... you can still call her your wife... you can still do everything married couples do, without that contract.

Hell, if you live in a commonlaw state, the Govt has already decided that you're in an implied contract anyway. They've added exit penalties to your relationship without your knowledge or consent.

fukk that. I'm not paying a fee to some principality so that they can tell me how to manage my relationship.

Wrong brehski. There's always adoption and longterm relationships without marriage out there, and not evrybody want kids or should have kids out there.. Now while I believe in getting married the divorce rate is too high for me to tell nikkas to go ahead and get married just because it's expected of them. I rather the right people get married than those who feel they were conned into doing it by society or the woman.

No you can't. It goes beyond just tax benefits. You can't name a non spouse as your beneficiary for life insurance, 401k, etc. You can't make appointments, plans, changes, for a non-spouse. You can't add your non-spouse to your health insurance. If something happens to your significant other, you have absolutely no say in what happens to him/her. If your woman gets pregnant and something happens during birth, you have no say in what happens to your kids or your woman. It's the same reason gay people are fighting for marriage rights. It's not just about being "married". I'm not gonna look for it now, but there was a list of over 100 rights that you don't get if you are not married.

If you plan to raise a family you have to get married, that's if you want to be able to lead and manage your family effectively. As for exit penalties, they have prenups for that, and you should be marrying someone in a similar financial bracket, so alimony would be a moot point anyway.

Man I have no idea who told you that but my girlfriend is the beneficiary on all my accounts and insurance.

The rest of that stuff, you have a point there. If I wanted a family, I'd consider marriage just to make the paperwork easier.

Prenups... :laugh: Those things are a bad joke. Don't even get me started.

:snoop:

You should know by now that advocating marriage in front of black people will get everything from rotten tomatoes to Chevy caprice's thrown at you. The poorest race of people also marry the least. The poorest race of people also do not plan families. This is not to say get married and all things within the black community magically becomes better but there is no arguing down, children do better in life with a married couple.

Ask yourself why a people arrogantly argue down the successful paths of other communities yet are failing in just about everything that matters?
