re: Is Marriage a Good Thing?

After going thru the worst divorce possible I can honestly say, in my opinion, marriage is only good if the woman puts the same amount of money in it as you do. Marriage is money not love... Don't believe me ask a divorcee.

The chemistry is obviously there or you wouldn't be together.
If she's your best friend that's a good sign you should take the next step.
You just need to make sure she's the right one. It would be a good idea to take premarital counseling and discuss your expectations. If you're incompatible now is the time to find out.

It can be.
But I agree with others here, that if you want children get married but only do so after spending a few years together alone. Children can change the dynamics of a relationship. It can also change you. When they leave home you have to know that you still like the other person and you still have something in common.

Absolutely worth it. You're going to fight, and you're going to have hard times, but for the rest of your life you never have to go through the hard times alone. If you have a good one along with you for the ride, it's totally worth it.

Have you been thru a divorce? I ask because before I went thru one I didn't feel the way I feel now about marriage. Until you have to divide your retirement plus every thing you have by 2 then you couldn't understand where I'm coming from.

It's certainly not easy. But anything in life worth having usually isn't easy.
Just be prepared for the realities of it. There will be days you don't want to be near that other person and are quite pissed/annoyed at the sight of them. Isn't a sign you need to rush off and get divorced though....just a bad day.

It's definitely an important part of getting ahead.
It lets people know you're not a homo. A married guy seems more stable. People see the ring and they think at least someone can stand the son of a bitch. When ladies see the ring they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.

No because I didn't marry a shitty person. Everyone I know that did get divorced you could see it coming before they even got married

Marriage is the absolute best thing I've ever done. I lived my 20's being a self-centered foot loose/ fancy free young professional without a care in the world. Once my wife started courting me, I knew I had a keeper. There's not a day that passes that I am not thankful for her choosing to love me and have a family with me. God knows there have been numerous trying days in our marriage, but we both know our lives are much better together than apart.
I can say that if you're not ready for marriage, then don't do it. Once you realize that your life is complete with her beside you, then it is time. I'm also a big advocate for staying together after kids. To quote Furious Styles from Boyz n The Hood, "Any **** with a dick can make a baby. It takes a man to be a daddy."
Father your kids if you bring them into the world. Show them the way to treat their mother because that is the way they will treat the women in their lives. America has lost its way devaluing the family unit.

No doubt. My brother did the premarital counseling and they had the litigious divorce. My wife and I were the fools that rushed. We're going 13 years strong. We got counsel as the issues arose.

Marriage is the leading cause of divorce.

OP should focus on one situation only: his.
Reading between the lines of his post, I would advise him–with one hundred percent confidence–to NOT get married.
For one thing, he is too young to make an endurable commitment to marriage. In that sense, the general statistics are revealing: people that get married in their 20's are among the most likely to get divorced, at least by percentages. So the odds are against him.
In addition he enjoys freedom and money, one or both of which will disappear upon marriage.
Don't do it, don't get married my friend. You can thank me later from one of your ports of call, where you are enjoying freedom, money and perhaps the company of a woman whose interest in you runs more to lust than marriage.

If all you are worried about is the divorce part, you shouldn't be married.
I have a lot of friends who are cool as shite, I could see being friends with forever, love hanging around with. Never once have I thought about what it would be like to married to them.
My wife is all of them and there has never been a doubt that I wanted to marry her. It just means more when you make that level of commitment.
The legal aspect of it vs the spiritual part can be debated. That isn't the point of this post.
