People have different wants. When a person decides that he/she wants to marry then it is not pointless to that person. He/she has set goals, marriage being one of them, and they are fulfilling that goal. For other people, marriage is not a necessity and it is okay to feel this way as well. If marriage is not a priority of yours and it is not one of the goals that you have set in your life then that is perfectly fine. Right now, if you feel that marriage is not a priority or is not something that you're interested in then it would be pointless for you to marry. Design and work your life the way that makes you happy and others will do the same.

My boyfriend has this same problem we have been dating for almost 3yrs and he still doesn't want to tie the knot even after living together and having a kid. I don't have a ring either, but to me it's not all about the ring, when you get married you are devoting yourself to that person. Showing them you want to be with them, through the good and the bad. Most men though act like it's a death sentence but it is if you make it that way. I think if you are with someone and you are happy, you feel that you are each others best friends I think it's worth it. Not necessarily having a wedding that make you broke or has so many people you can't even think. But Divorce if it comes up if it was meant to be it was meant to be. Only you and your significant other can keep that marriage from failing. I'm still trying to convince my boyfriend though I call him my husband cuz he might as well be. It takes two people to get married though.

No, I don't think marriage is pointless, it is a bond of love between 2 people, a beautiful agreement between couples to love and cherish each other.
What IS pointless is people jumping into marriage for reasons other than total and absolute love for the other person. When you meet someone that walks in your soul every moment of your life, you are happy and honored to join together with them in a ceremony of celebration and promise.

I agree whole heartedly with you. I married once, because that is what everyone else did. It didn't work out. I've been with with my partner now for 10 years and don't feel I need a piece of paper and a fancy party to show how we feel about each other. Marriage is something someone decided on centuries ago and the ritual has stuck ever since. Just a look from my man tells me how he feels.

its thinKs not thinGs lol, also it might be pointless, but you get insurance benifits, also you get alot of other benifits. its no different from two people living together, except married people have a piece of paper. but in this country we have marriage so people can get divorced. i mean its the easiest way a FEMALE can take a guy's hard earned money.

Once you get past sixty you will have the real benefits of Marriage revealed. Sex and children are adventures. When the Marriage is past sixty it becomes an comfortable environment of adults who have learned to accept each others foibles.

Marriage isn't pointless; it's a way for a couple to show their love and dedication to each other. It also comes with financial benefits as well as medical benefits (if one spouse has good medical benefits from an employer, then his/her spouse is covered).

I am married but I do agree. It is a way of showing someone you love them but really what's a piece of paper worth when just around the corner is divorce and it's so easy to get. Marriage can also complicate things.....I don't think it's necessary.

It is a legal contract. It is absolutely necessary when you have children and in cases of emergency. Would you want his Mommy making decisions regarding his life or death? It is a protection, a public acknowledgment of obligation, and a commitment above and beyond cohabittion.
