marriage is union of two loving persons. i you have conditional love then you are not for marriage. kids are the real victims of divorcing couples.

@tot7tot im never getting married, i dont even beleave in this and you for saying you wont sigh a divorce is selfish cause people fall out of love all the time and you cant really do anything about that. people should NOT have to force anything on others to try to work out a damn marriage, if its done between them its done and i beleave it should be against the law to keep a marriage on someone who doesn't want to be in it. my advise to you is never get marriage, im not and im a girl.

the government makes it so easy for divorces to happen. in the end, they win and the children loose. divide and conquer is the governments motto. i encourage marriage and should be laws to force people to work it out. its so easy to throw in the towel. attorneys and lawyers are no better. they will break up a happy household just to make a quick buck. when i say i do in 2 months, hell will freeze over before i sign a divorce decree and im a guy saying this

Men are increasingly unwilling to commit to marriage. Men in my country loose their children and at most get to see them 4 days a week. Alimony makes men pay "woman support" in some states for life. Men pay child support for children they can't be a father to. THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL FATHERHOOD. Google FATHERS FOR JUSTICE.

My advice on marriage is that if you must do it do not fool yourself into believing it will last forever. Because it will not. With time people change. You may have everything in common now but that could all change. Also you are resigning yourself to deal with not only your baggage but someone elses as well. When you marry you relinquish a big part of your personal freedom. By choice you are placing your life in the hands of someone else. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Pollster Louis Harris has written, "The idea that half of American marriages are doomed is one of the most specious pieces of statistical nonsense ever perpetuated in modern times."

"It all began when the Census Bureau noted that during one year, there

were 2.4 million marriages and 1.2 million divorces. Someone did the

math without calculating the 54 million marriages already in existence,

and presto, a ridiculous but quotable statistic was born.

like chris rock says..."married and board" or "single and lonely."lol But one the serious side the laws need to changed so we can reduce the divorce rate!!

actually in my opinion and im not saying marriage is bad. this is just a thought. marriage is basically a commitment saying you have to stick to that one person. however! you have the ability to stay with that person or not. same thing when you're not married. you have the ability to stay with your partner or leave for some other person. the thing is people see marriage as a very important commitment in which it says YOU HAVE TO STICK WITH THIS PERSON. i got more to say but im running outofspace
