    Marriage's only real use if for raising children IMO. Other than that, it kinda sucks.

    You guys don't understand. Imagine this:

    You're on a Desert Island, there is a line drawn in the sand which you're told you're not allowed to cross, and on the other-side of the line, is everything you could ever need, you can see all of this yet you cannot have it, until you do some pointless rituals like making a fire, hunting your own food, yet you can see everything you need on the other-side of the line, and you know you hunting making a fire is all pointless it's only a ritual, you'll do it for a few days, after a few days you're getting increasingly hungry, you want to cross the line to the other-side but the guard stops you, the next few days you plead with the guard to let you go to the other side but he refuses and says you need to do more before you can have all of this stuff. Two weeks later, you're getting mad you're swearing at him telling him to let you in, 4 weeks later you're threatening him to attack him, 6th week you're using the resources you have to manufacture a weapon 8th week you're stabbing that guard violently and ripping his organs to shreds with your weapon, just to get to the otherside.

    Thats human nature for you. Eventually you'll want it so bad, you'll just take it.

    A monk was walking along a river trying to find a bridge or a ford so he could cross it. After walking along the river for a while and seeing no way to cross he saw another monk on the far side. He stopped and called to the other monk:

    "How can I get to the other side?"

    The other monk stopped, thought for a moment and called back:

    "You ARE on the other side!"

    Money can't buy real happiness.

    The rewarding life comes from what you do instead of what you have.

    I think the same.
    If there is not a child then you do not need a legal contract to be together.

    No, but if you wish to remain together for as long as you both live, what you specifically mean by "together" will needs be well - defined. In the US there are very serious repercussions - large benefits and costs involved - for both parties, depending on whether or not you have that legal contract between you. "Terms of endearment", as it were.

    So let me get this straight, you are willing to do the work involved in manufacturing a weapon and make the effort required to slaughter a guard, who is likely to be trained in some level of combat and sure to put up a struggle.but you are not willing to hunt aninmals for food,not willing to try gathering berries, and not willing to to plant any seeds. Interesting.,

    no way, fuck that shit. I'd rather die fighting a guard, then eating some posing ass berries or getting killed by a animal and hunting for food.

    I don't believe that, at least for the majority of us that don't wish to harm others for our own personal gain. By your rules society doesn't stand a chance.

    Muslim,

    I wonder if yours is an Arab arranged marriage or you really fancy your wife.
    Did you meet your wife or were your parents in charge of finding a wife for you?

    Supposing that in next months your mom and dad tell you they would like to have grandchildren, what will you do if they threaten to cut off your funding again?

    Let me see if I can offer another reason.

    Suppose your the man who works and wants a non-working woman to help take care of your domestic needs such as housekeeping, fixing meals, shopping, sex,,,etc., and you don't have any children, but have had this arrangement for 5 years.

    If you break up she has nothing and no job and skills experience now to support herself.

    Why souldn't she be entitled to half of what was accumulated during the 5 years you were together?

    That is called "palimony" these days, and yes, he would be liable to pay that.

    Let's be realistic.

    1. First off, the whole reason a woman would take up a role as a housewife is when children are involved. Its a form of labor division defined by the male performing breadwinner duties, and the female doing the myriad of domestic chores that are too challenging to be handled by one person. This is because the childcare typically involves a lot more micromanagement, personal presence, and scheduling that conflicts with employment. The later stages of pregnancy and the earlier stages of child rearing in and of themselves totally prevent employment.

    2. We are currently ~50 years or so into the legacy of the women's lib movement. Women now routinely attend college, and establish their own careers. They are also empowered with their own money, own businesses, and buy their own things. The whole "kitchen" thing is so antiquated now that people use it as a joke.

    3. There is no reason for any division of labor between a man and woman if no children are involved.
    In the modern age, anybody can effortlessly toss clothes/detergent in a washing machine and press start. It's also relatively easy to load dishwashers, sweep floors, and whatever else. In fact - I had to do a damn load of dishes and laundry before I submitted this post LOL.
    Two people are not going to generate a lot of dishes/laundry/mess anyway....... not so when children are involved. There is also the absence of expense as far as children go (two people with jobs can pretty frequently eat out). There's also no need to stock up on massive quantities of food when there are no kids.
    Sex (at least in this day and age) is not "provided" by anyone. It's typically two people acting on their desires.


    I agree that there should be alimony paid in dissolution of a marriage where there was only one breadwinner and that sort of arrangement was established. However, you're going to have to agree with me that it totally sucks. In fact, having any sort of garnishment on your income is unpleasant.
    It sucks even worse when you realize that all you're doing essentially is "breaking up" with the person.. except now you are legally obligated to pay that person money.

    Actually I agree with every thing you just said. But that means you should be choosy about the women you hook up with in the first place. Even without children in the picture, some men want a non-working woman in their relationship. In that relationship based on how long and what duties the woman had, she should be entitled to something. Also, maybe you are the house husband and have been devoted to supporting your working partner in the home. Should you be dumped with nothing but the clothes on your back and what you started with at the beginning of the relationship?
