Some would also argue that remaining unmarried promotes irresponsibility in communities (i don't completely agree)..but some people do feel that way.
But that's your personal value judgment. A lot of people get married for reasons that mean a lot to them. Who are you to say that none of their reasons make sense because you personally don't agree?
Also there's not getting around the facts that marriage is directly linked to financial stability in almost every society. Wealth is almost always rooted in family legacy. Plus children who are raised in single parent environments and culture are much more likely to be less educated, poorer, and commit crimes.
a single person can gain wealth by him/her self in these modern days (one reason why marraige is dying)...
children raised in single homes are less likely to succeed because our society (christian) is made to favor 2 parent homes...societies with large amounts of singles parents do fine (western europe)......

i would argue that it's indirectly linked because it's just a piece of paper that you sign.

not being married doesn't mean your children live in a single parent environment which makes this statement irrelevant when talking about marriage.
With a 50% divorce rate and 75% of those divorces beind initiated by women most men will eventually find themselves alone anyway but only then they will have to give up half their possesions and hand over a good portion of their paycheck to a woman that hates them. I would rather stay single and keep everything I own.
This is true to a certain extent..but why do men overwhelmingly get remarried after divorce? - more than women do actually..

That's your value judgment. Every married person I have heard all talk about this has stated that the psychology of marriage goes way beyond a piece of paper.

they usually do tho. Plus we all know that child-rearing falls almost entirely onto the woman's shoulders when she's not married.
there are a lot of unhappy people posting in this thread, i feel sorry for a lot of you
it's like watching toddlers try to explain quantum physics...
most of these motherf#ckers don't and never will know what they are talking about. still on some "battle of the sexes" shyt and they are 20+ years old. How pathetic is that?

smell me?
listening to some of the people break down relationships is like having britney spears take over as the patriots offensive coordinator
Young guys like to say marriage isn't meant for men.but have you ever been around single men in their late 30s/early 40s? They tend to be pretty miserable, plus they carry high rates of depression. I really have never met a 40 year old bachelor who wanted to stay that way.
all of the single men that i know that are in their late 30s/early 40s are loving it. they have their own house, nice cars, and plenty of money to spend on new items and traveling. they have plenty of women and can call any one of them up when they get horny.
i mean there's definitely issues with marriage in current society, no doubt. but i feel like most of it has to do with people's personal values rather than something being intrinsically wrong with marriage itself all of a sudden

lol...i'm sayin..
you're a good example of someone who will probably create a solid family legacy, continue to pass on generational wealth, and raise kids that will eventually become our beloved CEOs and employers
My mom loves her some Jews..she used to work for a Jewish family when she first came to the states..I grew up hearing her gush lol.

It is personal values but how do you make a marriage work with somebody that has no values. Also many women will change on you at the drop of a dime. One minute you think you have a great marriage and the next your wife drops the divorce bomb and she takes the kids plus you have to pay for it all. This society is not nurturing towards marriage and family so why even try to make it work?
