A friend of mine is getting really anxious about still being single...family pressure more than from friends... I recommend staying single until 100% totally sure.
But what side of the debate would you lean to? Being aware that if you get married you can inherit but if you stay single inheritance will pass down to the younger siblings, as in the case of my friend. Any divorce would result in the same action no pay out!

Back in my day, when you married someone, you stayed married to them until you breathed your last breath! It didn't matter what those hussies on Desperate Housewives did - you made a promise and kept it, however miserable it was, just to show you could keep your promise!
You young people should really think about what a promise is all about and then, if you step onto that altar and say "I do", you better damn well be able to keep your promise! Otherwise, don't make the goddamn promise in the first place!

Seeing people divorce doesn't necessarily mean marriage is bad. Usually it is the people in the marriage that make the marriage what it is. Marriage, just like any regular relationship, is never permanent. People may, even after being married for several years, have change of hearts. Not all, but some if not most. You are still young. Your mind may change when you get older. Who knows, you may have that desire for a lifelong companionship in your later years. As for right now, i'd suggest staying single until you have that desire and want. Just remember, do not get marry to solve your problems; solve your problems then get married.

I don't think inheritance should play a big role. I agree with staying single until 100% sure. If she is in love, then go for it. But if she's not 100% sure that she wants to spend the rest of her life with someone, she should wait it out. And if he loves her, he would be willing to give her some time to make sure being married is what she wants.

Is that the bottom line? No "pay out"? If that's the case, it's a lousy reason to even consider getting married so he would be better off staying single. At least he would still have some dignity, if that means anything to anyone. With his luck he'd get hooked up into a loveless marriage with some gold digger who would then squander all his money and end up leaving him broke and alone. Some family to hang something like money to control the fate of their kids.

If a person is not financially (and especially) emotionally prepared for marriage, they need to stay single until such time they feel prepared for such a committment and the responsibilities which go along with marriage... Otherwise, they are setting themselves up for misery.
We can't get married, just because someone ELSE is urging us to -- not if we are unprepared...
I agree with you... stay single until you are sure about what you want to do... and focusing on whether to get married or not all the time, would be bothersome... people really need to go with the flow in life, and take things as they come...
If an inheritance is the most important thing in this person's life, he has issues.. that's all i can say about that.

You get married when you're ready and in love. You shouldn't get married just because you're going to get inheritance from your family. And the fact that the grounds for getting that money are that you be married is just sad on the families part. They should love all their children equally and any money that gets passed down should be dispersed equally. Marriage is about love and communication so how can you marry just anyone? She should start dating and looking for love, but not just because of the money.

They should get married, but only if they fall in love. They should not make either decision based on inheritance. How shallow is that. If they fall in love with someone, then they should marry them when the time is right. If not then stay single, but either way, don't base the decision on inheritance.

Well which ever one suits someone. I would love to get married. And to the right person! I'm not planning on ever getting a divorce cuz that is just wrong. What happened to ' till death to us part?' Or you could just stay single. Some people have no desire at all to become married and start a familiy.

STAY SINGLE. Today, marriage is a joke. There are barely any happy marriages that I know of. And this inheritance, forget it. Go get your own money. Why be at the beck and call of older family members? I think it is a crock.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.
