Why?
A strong, healthy marriage is the best thing in life (I say this after 2 year's marriage so far). While it may be true that in the past people sometimes stayed in marriages when they shouldn't have, today people give up too easily. "Oh, marriage isn't perfect bliss every second of the day, so I'm not interested." Well, boo hoo. Whatever happened to integrity, perseverance, and a belief in something larger/more important than oneself?
Marriage is work. Whoever said that 'if you have to work at it, it isn't right... it should come effortlessly" was lying. Love itself, if real, is eternal and perpetual, but the 'mechanics' of being married are very often foreign and unnatural to us.
Can love exist outside of marriage? Yes, but marriage is the optimal state in which to love... and CERTAINLY the ideal state in which to raise kids. Selfish fools should work harder at their marriage rather than simply divorcing at the first sign of trouble and messing up those kids' heads.

NOPE!
My parents have been married for almost 30 years (zero chance of divorce) and I hope I end up the same way! (In holy matrimony of course!)

If your intentions are to be a loving husband and father that's great.
Its the people get married to use each other and have kids for very selfish reasons that I hate

Only when I'm on top.
When my wife's on top, I look up on marriage.
In the past, people held onto bad marriages too long. Today they give up to easily. Perhaps.
I've been with my wife for 31 years.
