[QUOTE="Click_Clock"]I'm not proud to be a christian, I'm going to switch to atheism soon =)espoacpourquoi? what lead you to Atheism?
A logical thought process most likely. :P
[QUOTE="Funereal"]Yes I know what they are but I don't see why you couldn't just skip the whole marriage thing altogether instead.foxhound_fox
Tax benefits... always got to have tax benefits...
Things like that are in my opinions flaws in our society and I do not wish to perpetrate flaws by following the herd and doing what the leaders and the mass think is right. Sure things like that could technically be considered as perks when it comes to marriage but that is like saying that the perk with taking heroin is that you feel really good while high, doesn't mean it's a good idea though. Sorry for the very poor analogy. :)
Ever hear of a prenup?

[QUOTE="Funereal"]Although it wasn't the marriage itself that made your relationship better it was the fact that both of you believed that the marrying would make your lives better. You could just as well have gotten tattoos of each others names or exchanged pies or whatever, as long as you believe it will make your relationship better it will. It's all about feeling comfortable affirming your trust in each other etc. The legal contract that you both signed didn't in itself have any impact on your relationship, it's all what you make it out to be.LukeAF24Well actually it's the legality part of it that is what made the difference for us, at least here in America it is. I do understand what you are saying and I agree. Although, our home, cars, taxes, insurance, among many other things would have been either impossible to get without being married, or extremely expensive. I don't really know anything about how stuff like that works in the US but I understand what you mean. Getting loans and stuff like that is also easier if you are a married couple afaik.
Guess you missed the fact that marriage exists and has existed in every single culture (in a variety of forms) on this planet since the beginning of the Homo sapiens (sapiens) race.
Conspiracy theories FTL!
yes they have, but I was referring to the current state in the western world, where christianity is most prevalent. Affirming the relationship between two individuals through ceremony is something that has existed for a very long time, it's a staple in most cultures. The fact that it in the modern western world is a legal contract pertaining the dividing of assets is what I'm most opposed to.
I've been happily married for over 2 years. When you grow up, you'll realize it's not what you portray it to be. If anything, our relationship and lives are better since we got married.LukeAF24That's great!
