What's the point of marriage?

Historically, it started out as a way to unite families for power reasons and to provide children.
Then it shifted to marriage being based on love and wanting to be one person for the rest of their life. "Till death do us part"
But with divorces on the rise, doesn't that defeat the point of marriage?
If you can marry someone and commit to love and care for them forever in sickness and in health till death do you part, but then get a divorce 2 years later, what's even the point to begin with?
Sure the tax breaks are nice, but marriage has lost a lot of its initial value.
It seems nowadays girls just want a ring to show off to their friends and a fancy wedding and afterwards complain, then want a divorce then take half your earnings (if you're dumb enough to not get a pre-nup).
So if two people aren't going to stay together forever and legally they can get divorced whenever they want and in most marriages people do get divorced, what's the point of marriage in the first place?
You don't need to get married to have kids, and you don't need to get married to have sex, so I don't see any advantage to it for men or women.

As a young fella, Divorce Corp(doc on Netflix) scared the shite out of me. Pick the wrong woman and you could be living in the poor house as a middle aged man.

There's a 2/10 chance you pick the right woman. If you do, congrats, marriage is good. If you don't, you're fricked.

It's only advantageous for women. They can cheat and still be entitled to compensation in the divorce. Marriage is fine when you're young and want to raise a family. But getting remarried after your kids are older and your career is on track is a very bad business decision. You're bringing in a 50% partner who invested nothing toward the business other than tits and vagina.
No thanks.
No thanks.

Should be a required watch for all men. It's an incredible documentary.
Adding to that, OP, don't have a child with someone you love without some documentation of how it will be if shite goes south. Truthfully, a jaded mom without divorce papers could mean you rarely see the squid.

It's a social status nowadays.
People have this idea stuck in their head that if they're not married or have kids by a certain age then they are a failure. It's sickening, depressing and hilarious all at the same time.

To assure that you never get to do what you want, when you want or how you want. In exchange for that you get to live in a clean house and occasionally eat a nice meal you didn't have to cook. Being married is better than single

I did it to piss you off.

What's the point of this thread?
If you don't like it, don't get married.
Are you trying to take away the option for people who want to?

I'd be assassinated within 1mos. My views of the world are jaded and radical.

Cause after the wedding you get to put your penis in her, and it's awesome!!!

Cheaper to pay a whore. Sex will probably be better too.

All it takes is a scornful woman and a biased judge and you are completely fricked.
