Once it involves the government it becomes total shit.

I've always seen marriage as a spiritual unification with a person, with the good, bad, and ugly. But that's what made it so rewarding. Facing all aspects of a person, and have them accept you at the same time. Even a best friend couldn't compare to a title like that. It's a beautiful thing when two people aren't idiots.

No one gets married unless there is something about a relationship someone thinks will improve their own well being. No one marries to sacrifice themselves for someone else's wellbeing. People have needs; emotional, physical, psychological, social, financial. Marriage is supposed to be the whole package. These are the reasons people get together. If these are needs you have get married but be prepared for the possible consequences. You are not born married. You are born a complete human being and that is enough without marriage.

Find me a good woman that wants a Christian marriage for life and I'll be happy to get married. Until then, it's not even an option.

I always wondered what was the incentive for marriage besides having a child until now I haven't found any.

Society: Young men are not marrying. How do we address this?
JP: You see, some fairy tales have this archetypal…

His advice stings at first, but then it haunts your noggin for days and it makes sense. It still hurts, but like the soreness after a work out, you know it’s a building discomfort, not the painful sensation of deterioration.

In the Netherlands, 2 people in a loving relationship can do the exact same things as a married couple. And when 2 people decide to marry, they have to choose/pick one of two 'regimes'. That chosen 'regime' decides about everything when a divorce is about to happen. And on top of that, the Netherlands have a 'no-fault' divorce system. Same-sex marriage is allowed legally since 2001. Divorce is relatively cheap, easy and fast. Oh and babies born without being married are all legal and legitimate.

My folks have been happily married for decades. They are both strong characters and have winners mindsets. Theres one thing in common for people that have failed marriages, or think that the union of love between two people serves no purpose: a weak lover's attitude. Man up like my father or woman up like my mother. Bad marriages happen when one of you becomes weak and only thinks about themselves and "how can this benefit me?" When you have that idea about marriage, you've already lost. Marriage is a blessing to glorify God. Everything else will come. The moment you forget about God in marriage or in life, don't act surprised when things don't go according to your plan.

5:35 Originally Groucho Marx's famous
saying: "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

I have no incentive or obligation to marry, and neither do you.

Modern marriage offers no benefit to a man, and tons of risk.

Due to our current circumstances, were unlikely to find someone better, unless you have a magic mirror that connects you to NBA players

By one minute in I understand why my mom made me fat on purpose when I was around 8 years old and never taught me to drive nor encouraged me to get a job.

Never sign a contract with someone who benefits from breaking it.
Plus: never take life lessons from fairy tales. I's gone too far.

I'm 70 yrs old and I've had a Happy Life. I was never, Stupid enough to get married or have Children. I don't regret anything at all !

[jenniferespiritu]

In my situation professor, theres a difficulty of having someone right away, but wanting i notice that when i support someone that become first right for a good reason to sacrifice cause our almighty knows about that not in manevolence or resentful reason, maybe for the benefit of other people too, the reason why i am still sacrificing for will and allow it again even just for meantime or time being for godly work that order should understand what karma is been taking for ...God bless professor jordan Peterson and more power.

Living with a person before marriage is much better than not knowing the person beforehand. This is what happened with my parents - they divorced after 15 years of being married, their personalities were clashing, they did not know how to communicate with each other. I married my husband after 7 years of relationship, we have grown and have made mistakes. It's refreshing to be married to him after all this, it shows that we made it. Sure, there will be problems and conflicts but what we have learned in these 7 years is how to talk through everything, showing each other our perspectives. This is why he says most people who have lived with each other before getting married divorce, not all people.
