re: Is marriage worth it?

Yes we know modern things are about self fulfillment and nothing else. You clearly demonstrate the issue with the marriage conversation.

Marriage was never created as an act of "personal fulfillment". It was always about societal stability and cohesiveness by reducing sexual discontent and raising children.

Modern marriage is preached as "personal fulfillment".

I don’t think this could be more incorrect.

In Genesis, God says “it is not good for the man to be alone”. His next act is to create a wife for him.

Whatever you think about the Bible or Christianity, it is in fact a book that exists and those words were written a long time ago. That passage is definitely not modern and obviously had nothing to do societal stability, sexuality or raising children.

You sound like someone who has made up his mind about marriage, which is fine. But why blame “boomers” and “society” while sitting there rejecting the benefits that are listed (and easily googled)? Just own it and move on with your life since you don’t actually want to be convinced.

If I'm wrong then nothing matters unless it "personally fulfills" you.

Transgenderism isn't wrong if someone feels personally fulfilled.

Or…. maybe it means that a thing can have multiple benefits? Even if some of those benefits were not part of the original purpose?

Just like most everything else in life that worth it, your marriage is something you work on to improve everyday. There's ups and downs but when it's working, but the good outweighs the bad.

You're right, there is no objectivity, what's bad can be good can be bad. Men can be women as long as the "personal fulfillment" condition is met.


Marry as a matter of personal fulfillment, marry multiple women as long as it personally fulfills you.

So glad I always put my wife before my kids.

Under appreciated.

I've always put my relationship with my wife first, she always put me first. It allowed for a very firm foundation to raise three children.

Now, my adult children understand and appreciate how beautiful and full our marriage is and they are desperate to find something similar in their lives.

Keep the farts to yourself. It's about respect and romance. Always be pursuing her, just like you would have early on in your relationship.

Not for men, all you get is risk of her taking you to the cleaners in the 50% chance that divorce happens

No, don’t do it. Not worth shite!!!!
