Is there case to be made for marriage, long the bedrock institution of civilized society? Or is it just another social antique, the creation of an outdated patriarchy and no longer relevant in modern life?
Just having marriage on the table is probably better. If you never plan on marriage are you more or less likely to seek out better partners? (or partner). If I have no intentions of ever getting married I wouldn't approach a potential relationship with such seriousness. What does it matter if we aren't likely to be a good fit? In all likelihood it won't last beyond a week anyway so why bother to discriminate in any fashion? A week with a new person is hardly time wasted. However, if you
...if you are intending to enter marriage at some point you're far more likely to concern yourself with the quality of potential relationships. Just the intention alone can have profound effects on your quality if life.
so societies which do not follow the typical American process of marriage are somehow inferior and less mature? less happy? the real question is if this man can ever question what he believes for 5 seconds.
He has no data or statistics to back his statements up. He makes generic assumptions:"Everybody who has married, whether they are divorced or are still married, knows marriage makes you more mature." He goes on to say marriage is better for the world but neglects to state how. In addition he doesn't provide an argument against his counterarguments: "fear of commitment" for example, doesn't contain a counter. His counter against the claim of many divorces is weak. This is a very poor speaker.
to the pretson below if you fo have kids and are not maried the you leave the kids just dont vanish they have to go to sone one and to every one it is a sign of comitment and helps build trust
How is it not just a piece of paper? Cmon, it's not like you can't cheat on your wife and divorce and all that when you get married. It costs a lot of money and when you get divorced they take your kids from you and you have to pay a lot of money.
And if you just have a partner, and you get tired of each other, it's much easier to continue on with your life, marriage jst basically kills it.

"If it's just a paper then why don't you sign it ?" Because it's just a paper and I don't need it to prove that I love somebody ..? Yes I'm a girl.

"Marriage makes you more mature"? No, maturity is a prerequisite for a great marriage.
