Interesting to see all of these millenial point of views, complaining that marriage is not instant gratification and/or that it doesn't make them a unique snowflake. Lol
When you marry, you're making a commitment to another person for the rest of your life. No, it's not about sex. No, it's not about labeling your partner as husband or wife or transgender hypersonic kitty pansexual. And no it's not about even about being passionately/romantically in love with your partner. You two decide to become one unit; to take on life & personal challenges together. Yes, you'll still get into fights, yes you may even have lonely nights still, but you are there to support each other through thick and thin. Everyone that I've read so far acts like in marriage you need to look out for yourself; full of selfishness. "Its all about ME and MY troubles; FUCK anyone else". This is the worst approach and hell maybe it's because you're all still young (or act young) but y'all need to change.
Btw I'm 24, living life happily with a gf, and I have no plans on getting married anytime soon.

I want to get married, I hold the opinion of no sex before marriage
I just believe that it is a better way of doing thing as sex complicates things, id much rather know that i want to be with a person because of who they are mentally, rather then because of what it feels like to have sexual relations
if or when I do get married, I do not particularly care who is there, because its about me and the person I am marrying, nobody else is important for that situation, though i do have a preference towards cherry blossom trees and tranquil settings
there is other reasons that are more personal to who I am, but I don't really want to go sharing those with the kind of people that are on the hlf
I wouldn't mind getting married, heck I might even have kids one day. I'm absolutely not looking to start a relationship with anyone though. I mean, if I run into somebody that's right for me I'll know. If I stay alone for the rest of my life that's fine too. I won't feel lonely anyhow.
For me its not something i really care about anymore to be honest...To much bad luck when it comes to being close to people...or i should say getting close to the wrong people..
Now my idea of love is been pretty much blown to pieces.
I might wonder what its like to care about someone in that way or even spend my life with them like i used to feel towards people.But now i dont know anymore...I feel like if i was to spend whatever is left of my life alone i would be fine with that its what im used to.
its all ive ever really known is to be alone.
I see relationships and such as to much hassle and to much problems in the end..half the time not even worth it...Unless somehow get lucky and find the right person on the first try and happy ever after is the story told.Sadly real life isnt so kind.
Some days i think it might be nice to have someone as more then a friend...But then i ask myself is it because i want someone in my life or do i need someone....Want perhaps in some ways...need...not really.
Then as well i dont really see myself as in the best state of mind to really be that kind of person for someone...I honestly dont believe in love anymore and after the last person i knew who ruined my life...Im not sure i ever want to again.
I used to think the idea of spending my life with one person was great and all...Till things changed....
Where I live, it's normal for people to get married when they are 18,19, and 20 years old. I am 20 years old and in the past week, 10 people i know or knew in high school are engaged. Some have babies already at 20 years old and personally i think that is way to young. I don't think people have experienced life yet at 20 years old; I still feel like a kid. I am currently attending university and I do go on dates (4-5 a month) but I am not looking for anything too serious. I don't plan on getting married for AT LEAST 5 more years or until i am done with college and have a job that I know could support a family or more than just myself.
I enjoy going on dates as much as i do, it helps me find what i like and dont like with what i want to be with for the rest of my life. I definitely know I will be married one day with a family but until then I will continue what I am doing and I know everything will end up falling into place.
I know this is a very, very ancient topic, but here are my thoughts about it. First off, I have never had a girlfriend IRL and of course people at first impression would not believe it and call me out as a liar. But honestly, when I was younger back in high school I was interested in dating (crowd mentality) without a good reason. Then as I was about to go to college, I figured that dating was just meh, nothing too special and bad relationships would be worse than being single. Plus, being single would be much better in terms of independence, not being tied down, not having to answer to anyone (except authority and rule of law), then being able to do most things on my own terms. So basically, I'm single by choice (for the most part).
Now onto the marriage topic, well recently my friend and her fiancee just got married last weekend and they seem happy right now which is awesome for them. However, personally, since I don't consider dating, marriage would be out of the equation for me. Not to mention all the effort, sacrifice to make things work. I mean, some people can do, but I can only speak for myself, and similar to my paragraph about dating, the reasons why I would not enter marriage are similar. To add a few more reasons against marriage, children, trust, and having less time to pursue my hobbies, passions, and goals IRL. (Well some people with a good relationship can do all those I suppose, but even then they are tied down.
)
Klyntar and Fleekstar both covered most of my points that I've made pretty well.
About Klyntar's point, well I don't even need ass
I guess hugs (and kisses- even then that's a romantic luxury imho) alone would be what I want, no more or less. As far as social life, I just need some good friends, and some platonic affection from them (and maybe people I admire), and then the rest is ok w/e.
I also agree with Fleekstar's point about marriage and divorce (it's just extra pains that aren't worth it).
Marriages ending in divorce are no less expensive than Common Law relationships. In our country, living together for minimum of 2 years gives each partner the same legal rights as having a Marriage certificate and dissolution is just as costly if both parties cannot agree, which usually is the case.
Just thought I'd throw that out there for you who are avoiding the costs of legal proceedings.
I'm still looking for a lawyer to represent me in suing the Prince of Miscellania for Breach of Promise.
