I have 6 good friends who are all married. Of the 6, I know for certain that 5 of them are all in some way or another cheating on one another. Whether it be by having secret Tinder accounts, flirting or texting w/ co workers, snap chats, and so on, they're all cheating to a lesser extent. Now, I know a few bad apples doesn't represent the whole picture but with divorce rates higher than ever, I ask, what is the point of marriage?
A few thoughts:
1. The divorce rate is not climbing, in fact, it's been flat for 20 years and is actually declining.
2. Your friends are idiots and you need to talk some sense into them ASAP because if you don't, their wives WILL find out. One thing about our digital society is that it has only made one thing easier than cheating, getting caught cheating.
3. You need to talk with their wives. Don't rat on your friends, but check and see if there's anything going on on that end. There may be something that their wives are missing out on. Maybe they have noticed their husbands treating them differently. Maybe they have realized that they aren't treating their husbands the same way. There may even be a perfectly logical reason for it. It is very rare for the man to be considering cheating and the woman not to notice that at least something isn't quite right.
4. Have less trashy friends.

There is no point if all these Springer contestants you consort with also constitute your dating pool
Among real life benefit?
A) they get as hungry as we do. if youre savvy enough to mantain a high grocery status, she will usually feed you also
B) she is legally obligated to do her carnal chores. This is big. hell, I believe in tennessee and arkansas youre still allowed to force your soul mate to stand in front of dollar general holding a shaming sign. where passers by are known to chuck pork rinds
C) and lastly. Who else is gonna remind you about the 18 fictional gift giving occasions every year. Her bday is 4 days before valentines? Dont even think about consolidating you cheap frick. Before I was engaged nobody but my fiance was kind enough to tell me that its a pre revolutionary custom on easter to hide a second set of eggs high from toddler reach, filled with treats such as tennis bracelets and rectal beads

The problem here isn't marriage, it's commitment, and being willing to really work to keep you and the one you love happy. Marriage is just commitment wrapped up in a pretty little bow and saying "I do" doesn't make it so.
So it really comes down to whether or not you're willing, and I mean really willing, to be committed to someone for all your days. If so, with a lot of hard work and smart decisions and a woman who's also fully on board, you can make it happen. Bonne chance...

Seems to me you should find better people to call friends.
Pretty much every close person to me is married and to my knowledge only 1-2 has ever been unfaithful.
Top of my head I'm talking 15-20 couples.

To those who are married, what makes it work for you?
I matured after college. I am driven and motivated and I realize that one love for the rest of my life and a solid core family atmosphere is the healthiest things an adult male can do for himself.
I also quit trying to frick everything that moved and started actively listening and vetting the girls I dated. It's not that hard to pick the loving, loyal, and driven crazy women from the trashy and selfish crazy women.
Don't forget, from a man's perspective, they're all crazy, without a doubt. But find one that's loyal to you. That shares your ideals and remember 2 things :
1) Choose your battles well. Small things aren't worth the fight and you can't win with a woman. So when you have to fight, make damn sure it's something worth fighting over.
2) women love to bitch and complain. If you get mad or take it personally or try and fix it every time she does. You'll lose both your mind and your woman. Just take it like a man when she's yelling about some petty nonsense. I promise you she'll stop yelling and forget what she was yelling about.
3) A core principle of business is that it is always harder and more expensive to aquire new business than it is to keep an existing customer. One fight, one stupid little thing, it isn't worth throwing away a good thing for. And that 15 minutes of sex with the new slut at the office or the bar skank on a bad day will never be worth ruining your marriage.

i like your perspective on this. Except that it can be difficult to pick the right crazy. They are very adept at hiding their faults when dating.

truer words have never been spoken.

Are you sure about that? Because some of the biggest cheaters are the biggest "Christians" and I know several couples who never go to church with rock solid marriages.

For me, if I would cheat on my wife, I feel I would also be hurting my daughters more. So that's one line I promised myself I wouldn't cross. Can't hurt the ones that love me the most.

Your parents did it and their parents did it, so shut up and do it.

Never give up, just cause the last marriage failed don't let it stop you from the next one.

Yep, yep, and yep.
Especially number 2. It took me a practice marriage, 3 crazy dating relationships, and a new marriage to finally fully "get" this one. Women like to bitch. The term "bitch" isn't just a coincidence. They feel the need to vocalize every thought that runs through their heads. And most of the time they just want you to listen. On the other hand, men are "fixers" and when we hear our woman complaining our instinct is to address it immediately. You'll chase your tail needlessly and come across as pussy whipped if you're constantly jumping to step and fetch every time she gripes.
Just let her vocalize. If it blows over, it wasn't a big deal. If she keeps bitching, time to investigate.

flirting
This happens all the time between men and women and 90% of time its really just harmless human interactions when it happens in person.
Now if its happening through texts, tinder, online thats definitely a no-no. Also adding alcohol to the mix can be bad!
