I don't care if its an old thread. Gives me an excuse to pull out this truth bomb:
More info please.
Financial - from taxes to insurance to shared expenses, etc. There can be more efficiency if both are settled down. In my case I have never cooked, done laundry, clean up after the kids or anything household that she took over. It gave me a lot of time to focus on things I had to focus on. She took over the house - everything from picking bedroom sheets and making all pretty and comfy. Kids and family did change her in a better way. I dont have patience for all of this, but it did feel pretty nice to come home, crash in a comfortable bed after having a dinner. Perception of togetherness forever changes the situation quite a bit for some women. Many girls change after marriage in terms of focusing on making a warm home nest. Loneliness - never have I felt so lonely as right after we have split. I've went through quite a few girls, dating, etc., but its hard to find that warm and caring feeling for each other that existed at some point in life. Sharing life and finances can make it a lot easier to make arrangements with someone you are married to vs a girlfriend. It does feel good to always have a partner you can turn to, especially when things are not going right in some area in life. I have no other family close by. Speaking of the family, there are other conveniences in marriage - for instance, I am planning to go see my family in another country for 3 months this year. I did not have to plan as much for things like these as I do now. Figuring out how to be with kids in cases like these when non-married gets really complicated, even though we are on semi good terms right now.
So yeah, there are a few benefits, especially if you are planning to have kids at some point in life. But... There are a quite a few benefits of not being married as well and I am not saying that one is better then the other. However, at this point, I love my single life.
Not to be a dick, but literally half the benefits you listed for having a wife (cooking, cleaning, not having to worry about domestic shit) I've been outsourcing for years.
Not shitting on marriage (well, not really) but anyone considering it should really, REALLY look into it for what it is: voluntarily signing a contract with the government that you don't want any other vaginas in your life ever again.
There is literally no beneficial reason to get married. None. And anyone that lists taxes as a benefit needs to have their head examined.
And if you want someone that can cook, clean, and fuck you anytime you want, you better order a "Japanese female Robot"
You asked a forum full of neckbearbs about marriage. Just think about that for a second.
No. Church ceremony these days is just for fun and tradition. Most people who do it call themselves Christians but when it comes to knowledge of religion they know shit. They do this because their parents and grandparents did that. That's all. Almost all my fiends are married but probably none of them gives a fuck about religion or monogamy. Sure there are some exceptions and I'm sure here on WF we have them in greater quantities than anywhere else.Does all of that really require a church ceremony and a paper contract though?
There should be a law
Prenups should be mandatory
Dude, you sound pathetic. Do you need your big daddy government to hold your unit while you take a leak as well?

I hope that you'll be able to, one day, know what it's like to want to spend the rest of your life with someone, and to receive the same sincere love back.
Yeah, been there, done that. It comes in the middle of being a lonely cunt who thinks there's more to the world, and having your heart put through a meat grinder & life turned upside down.
The middle part is quite good though.That latter part, not so much.
