What are your thoughts on marriage? I was talking with a friend last night after a couple beers and he thinks that marriage isn't even really a choice, because humans naturally look for a mate and marriage is america's way of being with a mate and providing for kids. I argued that marriage wasn't neccessary. Your thoughts?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Marriage is the Churches way of preventing sin...
Imagine if nobody was allowed to have sex until marriage still

My stance on marriage is simple. I won't get married until I have financial stability and I can buy my own house. I want my kids to live in their own home, have their own room and backyard to play. I don't want them to have to move around to different places like I had to because my family couldn't buy a house. My wife won't be allowed to work she will stay home and take care of the kids full time. No kid of mine is going to a stinking child care center or have some mean ol nanny! why would they if they have a loving mother?
one of the reasons kids these days are so messed up is because they don't have a parent with them to raise them. Instead they are raised by television and the crap they learn in school from the other spoiled bad kids. In order for me to get married my wife can't be a feminazi biatch that puts carreer over her own children first (sadly this is most women today).
Will I ever find a woman that meets my requirements? maybe, maybe not, but I won't be lowering my standards I don't want to end up an statistic like all the divorces every year. For me to be married I have to have a career, a good paying job that means im financially stable and I can afford to buy my own home for my future family. I will have to find a woman that I fall in love with, meets my moral requirements and the requirements of the type of mother I want her to be. If not then ill die alone I don't mind having a hundred girlfriends throught my life
There always comes a time in a man's life when he finds a really special girl to him and he wants to make her his and his only. If all the other stuff adds up (financial stability, moral and mother requirements) than I might consider proposing to her.
The problem with marriage nowadays is that people get married without financial stability and the children and marriage suffers because of it.

Marriage is scary. Something better always comes up. Imagine buying a laptop. At the time you bought it, you got the coolest looking, state of the art, best laptop money can buy. You wait a few more years, and guess what. Even newer laptops that are cooler looking with more sophisticated techonology come out. And they are even cheaper now. And you cant buy a new one. You cant even "rent" a new one. Or you are not supposed to at least =)
Same analogy with marriage isnt it?

people don't treat marriage as sacred institution anymore. It is attacked by gay groups. Marriage is symbol between man and woman that's all. there is no alternative version. It is being distorted by gays as ligit way of nature. It disgusts me to see society has gone down the toilet.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
marriage is a official contract between two individuals , they promise to stay faithfull honest and such and if they break those promises then the contract can be broken and such they get divorced.... In the old days Marriage was used by kings and such to make alliances between other clans/comunities. They did it in a curch because they beleived it would make the relationship more blessed , they werent told to do it in the curch by god or jesus.
it was a choice they themself made.
Today marriage is the same as old days , its an contract between two indiviuals , but people sign that contract waaay to fast and therefore end up braking it many times...
marriage isent neccessary , its just that society makes you beleive that marriage is sumthing everyone should have before they reach a certain age , if you brake those norm and rules you can be considered an outsider and therefore feel alittle shut out.
But the truth is marriage isent a necessaty , you can have a deep and meaningful relationship you can have children and raise them with your partner without being married , i feel that todays society puts such a pressure on marriage to be a certain way , a way that is nearly too perfect , that when people strive to make theyr marriage that way they end up basicly destroying theyr relationship.....
