Marriage

Adrian Ţepeş · April 21st, 2015

So what's your opinion of the whole thing?

Me personally...well...I can't see myself even considering marriage in any sense to anyone until I'm at least in my 30s, specifically after I've hopefully started a good career and can generally support myself.

I mean...marriage isn't a requirement by any means for happiness or commitment, but it is a legal binding of commitment so I think I should have as much time and experience as possible before signing off on it. What do you think? More specifically, what are your conditions for a successful marriage?

I can't really say much more than when you're ready and find the right person. It isn't for everyone and no one should be forced into it.

I think you need stability, in your job and your personal life. You need to settle down before deciding to settle down.

Marriage makes it harder to split up with somebody. I have no idea why it's even a thing.

Exactly. Marriage is for people who enjoy court proceedings.

It is the ultimate way of saying "right, I'm done with life now. How long until I die?"

Never underestimate someone's ability to disappoint you.

1: I like having my own space, and my own stuff.
2: I enjoy not having anyone blame ME for THEIR problems.
3: I enjoy not having anyone to steal MY paycheck, and spend it all on boots and other stupid shit.
4: I enjoy not having to wait an hour just because someone decided the ear rings didn't match the dress, and needs to look through the ENTIRE closet to find a dress to match.
5: I enjoy the fact that everything in my house focuses on FUNCTION instead of how it looks. If it doesn't do the job, it gets thrown out.

Too long, didn't read version: Just about everything women do, I enjoy not needed to put up with it.

The conditions for a successful marriage are to never get married in the first place.

Your young you will learn.

I enjoy being married infact I will have been married for 20 years next year. Yes there have been bad times as well as good but I am very pleased to say that the bad have been very few.
If you love someone and I mean really love someone and they really love you then that is the best and there is nothing that can beat it.
Lets look at your list.

1) Why can you not have your own space or stuff if your married ? I do as does my wife.
2) Do you enjoy not having anyone to share your problems with ? If all the women you have had in your life blame you for there problems then maybe your not meeting the right kind of women.
3) Women can also work and it has been known for men to stay at home while the wife goes out and earns the money.
4) Can you imagine a person wanting to look there absolute best just for you ? I mean the nerve :P
5) You said house and not home. I wonder why. It is just awful having someone want to make there environment reflect them and offer a degree of comfort and style.

My wife is my best friend and yes I have male friends but my wife is the mother of my children. She is the one who stood up infront of all my family and friends and declared that not only did she love me but she was going to spend the rest of out lives together. Some thing the PS4 cannot do (yet)
So yep Marriage is brilliant if it is the right person. So for a happy marriage do that 1 thing and make sure it is the right person.

Goody, there isn't a single thing in your post that cannot be done just as well without getting married.
