Is marriage just a certificate?

I find it really amusing that women would rush into marriage just so they can bear a child. I mean, which is more important, the love between the couple, or...

Why do you marry or why not?

i have no idea

but one thing is for sure, it is the woman who drop the hint that they want to get married

shinta SG

yes..

Laughing

stupid lousy piece of paper

elindra SG

Hard to answer
I used to think when I'm young I dun want to marry
But now I am happily married
For some reason I just knew he was the one

Rock^Star SG

I noticed that for most of my friends, it's always the girls who initiate marriage. Well, even myself too. Laughing

Divorces are so easy nowadays. Why get married if a couple can seperate in the blink of an eye? Why not just stay as a happy couple?

elindra SG

That's because you get to a point in the relationship that you don't progress any further and after sometime it will just break down if you don't take the next step

what is it to you and what does it matter to everyone else?

to me, it'll be telling my partner that i want to be her Mr Bear and her to be my Mrs Bear.. that i am hers forever Smile

sand king SG

its a commitment to you spouse

caleb_chiang SG

and an expensive proceedure if you want to break it... Laughing

Rock^Star SG

So you get married, have kids, raise them.....that's the next step?

Rock^Star SG

I have thought of that before.

So if one marries because of committment, isn't that a disservice to one's spouse?

it's a cheap piece of paper to get, and a damn expensive one to tear.... Rolling Eyes

That marriage cert means your previous will, beneficiary are no longer valid.

So the moment you tear those papers, you need to rewrite your will, your beneficiaries with a lot of agencies.

From gahment, insurance to your office group insurances. So do take note.

That $25/- paper, cost you easily $2,500/- to tear.

RIGHT you are unless you wanna have kids of course!
You don't want your kids to be born out of wedlock so that they are bastards!

Dictionary meaning of bastard is child born out of wedlock, that is, parents are not married to each other.

If you don't wanna have children, then cohabitation's enuff oredi! Cohabitation's indeed the preferred way to go: Less hassle, your assets are better protected (especially for the men!), happiness is enhanced, health and wellness are promoted and thus, life is prolonged..... !

Just because you marry and get a cert is no guarantee you won't divorce de wor! I've personally seen so many cases of divorce that I'm kinda paranoid! Crying or Very sad

oldbreadstinks SG

thought about it but with all i'm seeing going on with the people(married) around me i think staying single looks more attractive Laughing

Rock^Star SG

Not many gals think this way. They want marriage as a form of security which I think is non-existent since divorces are so easy.

InnoHippo SG

not so easy lah ....... guys must be prepared to lose $$$$$$

tare SG

sometimes not just the guys lose $$... the woman may also... and have nothing to gain

Hello, where is the love?

I agree - it's better that YOU do not get married.

A marriage is not about "How convenient or economic it is for me?", and neither is everyone is a strong advocate of cohabitation like you. Some think it's just wrong, while others still have some respect for their parents and family.

How much is that marriage certificate worth? It's worth as much as what you put into the marriage, I'd say. A warning though: a lot of hard work and commitment are needed. No one ever said maintaining a good marriage is easy. Smile
