Some people don't believe in marraige because they believe it contradicts our natural attractions to others. If it's wrong to be attracted to someone else besides your spouse, then theoretically you shouldn't be married. Is there anyone who can honestly say they aren't attracted to anyone else beside their spouse? Even a little? Even if it doesn't nearly amount to the attraction you have for your spouse?
Do you think happy life-long marraiges will become a rarer thing in the future? Today there are many divorces, unlike decades before.
Why do or don't you believe in marraige?
by the way I am in love with someone if you're wondering
Oh sure you will be attracted or at least catch a glimpse of a hottie without the wife seeing you. That's all it is though. A glimpse.
Then we realize how at one time our wives were just as hot. Then we realize we were once a hottie too.
Our view of attractiveness changes over time. It was the way she would swing those hips while she walked to the way she shuffles with her walker. It's not as physical anymore but more of a mental thing. We grow old together. We lean on each other in different ways now. Literally.
"the institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history, many cultures have legends concerning the origins of marriage. The way in which a marriage is conducted and its rules and ramifications has changed over time, as has the institution itself, depending on the culture or demographic of the time."
WOW!! does anyone really care where the idea came from? It's an OLD one and we know EVERYTHING changes. Old ideas no matter how good or bad change, I do not believe in getting married isin't the main goal in life is to be happy? If getting married does that for you then do it, if not then don't.
Every girlfriend I had seemed to want to get married I can't get lucky like some people that find females that don't want to get married. Now that would make me happy. But until then I will continue to read these crazy articles on BS.
I find other people attractive, but I'm not attracted TO them. There is a world of difference.
There are a lot of people with happy long-term marriages, but this may sometimes occur at the second marriage rather than the first. Some good people make the mistake of marrying a bad person, before they finally get smart and find another good person. This tends to overestimate the negative aspects of marriage. In most divorces I've known about there is one bad person and one innocent victim. The innocent victim usually goes on to marry another good person and lives happily forever after. The "bad" person usually tends to go into serial bad relationships / marriages and are alone and ostracized in their older age.
If people are honest about not wanting to get married it would be for the best. Marriage isn't necessary for everyone.
After paying tooo much to get rid of 2 ex husbands; I no longer believe in marriage. Not just the money aspect that caused the disillusionment, but the reality of life in this day and age. I would "like" to believe but am a realist.

I'm not attracted to old people and can't imagine myself ever being attracted to old people (even when I'm old).
That's one of the reasons I'm never getting married...I have no desire to grow old with someone
My mom's explanation for why my grandparents stay married: they want to grow old together

i find as i get older my tastes in women go along with me, when I was a teen ager i liked teenage girls, in my 20's i like girls in their 20's, and now in my 30's, I like girls in their 30's. Its hard to predict what you will prefer as you get older. You are looking at the older person from your young perspective its impossible to know what the older you will think.

When I'm 70, I'd rather check out 30 year olds that aren't into me than be married to a 70 year old
Im aware of what you said. Again, good luck with that.
