most of them are 30-40 something. nobody has been married just once (many never got married but the ones that did 100% got divorced). its odd. i've never seen a family like this and i have a huge family. my grandparents gave us grankids one piece of advice...never ever get married. my boyfriend spoils me and i don't think i ever want to get married or have kids (sorry but i'm selfish and i love attention) and i would never want to jinx it. is this odd? i kinda feel like marriage is outdated unless your really sure or your really religious.

I dont think marriage has anything to do with religon for ME anyway. My family is the same way we are all mostly women in our family- either the men left or the women left the with the kids. I think its because their are some big egos in the family and we dont want to deal with the drama. I am beginning to see the older ones get lonley now tho and regret giving up their marriage so easy. If people dont know what they are getting into and realize how much work it will take in the long run then they shouldnt get married at all. There are people who hide their true colors tho until after a certain amount of time ( which usually means marriage) for some reason decide to show their true colors and unlesh a load of ugliness- like the woman above me said whos daughters husband decided to use her a punching bag. Scum like that is not worth staying in a marriage for. I also notice alot of mental issues going on with people these days ( depression and anger issues) which makes a marriage a lot harder.

To each his own. If you do not want to get married you shouldn't. Marriage can work, but you have to be ready to get married first. Both people need to be mature enough to make a life time commitment. Premarital counselling is actually recommended a lot now a days, but the important thing is communication. If you talk about everything you want and don't want in life, i.e.kids, and you agree that is a step in the right direction. You also need to decide that when you get married divorce is not an option, you will work out your problems. This step will only work if you've negotiated the big things before marriage. And most important, the only reason to get married is for love. Marriage isn't outdated, but you're right, you need to be really sure.
