Guys who have never been married, or at least not happily married, spouting off opinions on marriage like they know what they are talking about remind me of the junior high science fair winner who now thinks he knows as much as a NASA rocket scientist, lol.

People like you and I don't care or worry about the mindless opinions they espouse because we live with a whole other class of men and know the truth

I'm not inclined to get up at 5:30 a.m. to pack a lunchbox for some guy who won't put a ring on it, sorry. If you have a girlfriend who can do that, that's nice for you. My husband is grateful for what I do for him. Likewise, I am grateful for what he does for me.

That just shows you're only interested in the legal benefits of marriage. Anyway, typical of women.

Sadly, some will just never understand the beauty and value in a successful marriage/partnership and how both parties benefit tremendously.

The reality is, not everyone is up to the challenge

Yup. That's exactly what she meant. And that is how we all are. I wouldn't do a single thing for my husband until we got that piece of paper saying we were married. That is how all relationships with women work. We are just horrible people and everything is our fault and the world would be a better place with out us. Good thing you have us all figured out!

You bet that shows a lot about women, even though that's nothing we didn't already knew.

Do you really believe the crap that you post or are you just trying to stir the pot? Just curious.

If that were true, I wouldn't pack his lunch, would I?

But yes, I am very interested in the legal benefit of marriage, as well as the social benefit.

I don't know how the law works in the States, is it by a state by state basis? But hypothetically, couldn't you get a civil union and have similar legal benefits but not as much financial mess to go through if you do end up breaking it off, like a divorce?
