Marriage

In my time, I've learned a few things. One thing that I've determined is that I will never get married. I just don't see any value in it. I'm not in a position to consider it, but I've just been thinking on how impractical it can be. Here are the reasons to get married and my rebuttals (these arguments may seem sexist, but I promise you they are as fair as I could make them):

1. You'll have a life-long companion.

Not necessarily true. Well, first of all, let's take a quick glance at the divorce rate in the US, 50%. If it were a lifelong companionship, then nobody would get divorced. If you feel lonely, you'll always feel lonely, marriage will not bring you out of that. Besides, can't you have a life-long companion without the legal paperwork tied to it. 

2. It'll be easier to share financial burdens with each other than alone.

Yeah, this is true guys. You'll share your finances... with your ex during a divorce when she  cleans out your finances. After a divorce, it's been statistically proven that the woman's lifestyle goes down while the man's goes up. The GDP of a woman decreases while the man's increases overall. It's because he no longer has to pay for the woman's pedicure, manicures, potpourri, and other such things that a straight male would probably never buy. Instead, the man could now buy stuff that HE wants, like a ridiculous widescreen 72" TV, or an awesome car (for himself). Ladies, why the hell would you want your GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to go down. You should be independent and spend your money things you want and not come home to a surprise ridiculous widescreen 72" TV and other things that guys tend to buy that might upset you, such as porn for example.

3. Wanting to be free from parents or related reasons.

Yes, because legally contracting yourself to someone else is freedom. Enough said.

4. To be happy.

Have you ever been happy before marriage. Accomplishing a goal that you've been working on for a

while? Having friends? Making ton loads of money? There are better ways to be happy.

5. My family/friends expects it.

So, what are you, five? You can't make others happy if you aren't happy. That might have been a

valid argument in the 1920s but, it's not to say your parents aren't proud of you anyway. If they aren't,

well, you'll never make them them happy anyway. So, what are you worried about?

6. I got my girlfriend pregnant and getting married is the right thing to do.

Ask any relationship expert, at least any level-headed one of the worst reasons to get married.

This would be one of them, if not the worst one. These marriages won't work out anyway because, there's

no actual love for one another in this type of relationship. It's a sense of obligations, and nobody likes those.

There's a lot more but, I'll more later as I get into the mood again. Thanks for reading.
