There is generally a lot of truth in jokes
-
at least they tend to be more funny when there is. With all of the "marriage sucks" jokes lately (a lot of them by one specific member) it makes me wonder why do people bother getting married? Why do people keep getting married if it's such torture? I've never understood that. Marriage sucks jokes have been around forever yet people keep getting married. If your marriage is like all of these jokes, I suggest you go to counseling. Marriage does not have to be and should not be torture. It should be the best relationship you ever have. I suppose for some of you, maybe it is torture AND the best relationship at the same time. :laugh:

Marriage is a religious notion, not biological. Marriage does suck. It has its benefits, but there are more cons than pros, IMHO.

Sure, it's religious. It's also political, which is an even better reason to avoid it. But it's also biological: albatross (amongst many other species) mate for life.

I got this advice from a friend just before getting married: Marriage solves a lot of problems that didn’t exist before. 😀

When done right, marriage is the best way to raise children. Religious or not, biological or not, it has been proven to be the best way to raise kids and to stabilize society.

I wasn't planning on getting married, ever :D It's a weird social construct that adds nothing when you're happy in love, but adds a lot of trouble when that love has gone :laugh: On a side note, I think raising or burning a flag, or a politician apologizing for slavery or WWII or whatever (anything they didn't personally do or had any influence on), a minute of silence and that sort of symbolic statements are all weird social constructs that I really don't get. They're symbolic and change absolutely nothing to what has already passed. Marriage, in that sense, is purely symbolic and does nothing except give you some tax benefits and arrange for your heritage that you could also get from a cohabitation contract.

We need a good symbolic debugger for people that are married ! :-\

I think those debuggers are called "relationship therapists" and "divorce lawyers". Their invoices are far from symbolic though :laugh:

Oh yes it does, at least in the country I live. Basically, it is a contract (between m/f, f/f, m/m) that regulates one and the other. E.g. something important like pension fund or inheritance matters. Ok, you are young but the older you get, things like this becomes more important ;)
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Do you get along with your best friend ALL the time? Marriage is like that, you can get out of sorts with your partner but there is enough love and friendship to get past differences and make up. The bond grows stronger through these situations. Been married for 32 years to my best friend and I wouldn't change any of it except for the times I've been an idiot and hurt her.

Marriage is great. I married a cheerleader and she has continued to be a cheerleader for everything I do. She is also an amazing cook and highly intelligent allowing for some great conversations and a happy time together. My son will be 32 next birthday and just sent a thank you note to us for all that we have done for him - although most of it came from my wife and she deserves the thanks. On the other hand, my son's wonderful girlfriend is living with us, looks after him, helps my wife keep up the house and cuts our all our hair (she is a professional hairdresser who cannot work right now). My son says they aren't interested in marriage, they'll just live together. Whatever works. These are different times from 30-odd years ago. As long as everyone is happy, that's what one should do. The jokes are still funny though.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I'm the same age as your son and lived with my girlfriend (now my wife) under my parents roof for a long stretch (5 years). I thank you too, because the possibility of living together while starting up is pure gold and speaks a lot on the kind of parent you are!

Yes and no. The right to complain and especially joke on marriage is sacred, marriage does have its quirks.

I think that to be married you have to love the other person a lot, but also hate a bit: otherwise why marry when you can just be togehter? :D

Depending on where you live it might add a lot of economic and social stability. I understand that in Japan it's common practise among gay couples, since gay marriages isn't recognized, that one adopts the other. This gives them the legal right to inherit each other.

Honestly being capable of traveling to any nation, including the fundamentalist hellholes, without risking death penalty for sleeping with my significant other is quite the asdvantage. Adding the economical (lower taxes) and logistical benefits (possibility of taking care of each other business, from booking medical visits to managing household contracts) it really becomes useful.
