Today, divorce rates are souring, we are in an epidemic of new STDs and a re-defined ignorance for everything. According to the site below, an average from 90-02 on divorce rates is at about 36.4%
Now according to the site below, "Nothing can kill romance faster than the word prenup" and most women I talk to tend to agree on this, also many women and men seem to get offended when you ask your partner to be tested for STDs (although it doesn't guarantee that if they come out clean, they wont cheat on you and eventually give you something). Regardless, most of the posts on this site are totally ignorant about the simple fact that no contraceptive method (I'm sure hysterectomy would count different) is 100%, and condoms have shown not effective at all in treating diseases like HPV (not that they don't help, just they don't rank very effectively against HPV).

My question is basically, finding someone you love worth losing half your assets (possibly your children as well), possibly dieing from some disease, or perhaps having a child that you weren’t ready for. Does Love = Huge waste of time, money, resources, and the worst thing to ever befall humanity?

Is love really worth the risk to your health and assets? No.

Are you kidding? you can die from walking across the street or being struck by lightning...Love won't kill you unless you date a serial killer. Secondly, condoms don't treat anything...they prevent them and condoms DO NOT prevent getting an HPV as it is a skin to skin contact disease.
Anything you do in life has a risk/reward factor. Living, smoking, dancing, moving, whatever...each aspect has drawbacks and postitive things to it
Love is what you make it...if you want to make it an STD ridden, baby-mama drama mess, then so be it...but healthy love does none of those things...Healthy love is respect, honor, commitment, honesty, and responsibility towards another person.
So I ask you this...if love isn't worth the risk...what is?

how would humanity continue to grow if we didn't have love? wouldn't we all just die off? or are we all going to be created in laboratories?
I don't normally do this, but I'm going to take a Christian stance here. If people followed God's commandments, we wouldn't have problems like an epidemic of STDs and sky-rocketing divorce rates, and selfish cheaters who think only of themselves and not of those they hurt. If people waited until marriage to have sex and were faithful to each other, the world would be a much better place!
Love isn't the problem

If you are willing to wait for REAL love and not confuse it with lust, and make sure that the other person is willing to WORK at a relationship, it is worth it. I know that there are no guarantees in life, but is life worth living without people you love??? Everything worth having involves risk. If you decide you never want to be married, I would assume you still intend to have sex so as far as health & pregnancy you would be a a greater risk....

Is love worth the risk? is it worth the time to find the right person or should we just settle? that's always been the question. But you can't have a cynical view and be calculated, otherwise you'd never find love. Love is also about real sharing, giving and caring, not just "what can you do for me?", and charts and statistics.

Wow, what a negative way of looking at life.
I understand what you are saying completely, however, there are so many dangers in the world today! Are you going to never leave your home and live your life in fear of all of them? Seems silly to me!
We all risk our lives every single day, multiple times! I guess since I am going to die someday (fact), I want to be in love when I do!

Love my friend goes beyond material measurement of dollars, heights and weights. It is the issue of the heart.
Because we do not understand love we mix issues and we get hurt, truly if I love, then everything that i have is yours, otherwise why spend time with someone who says loves me and i cannot trust them with my bank account...

love is worth waiting for , when you find the right person. someone who is clean and honest, who respects you, but
always protect yourself. don't have sex all the time. practice
abstinence. i do the same as well.
