So here's what I don't get. Why are so many people so anti-marriage to the point that they think that nobody should ever get married and they can't wait for it to die out (which I highly doubt it will). I understand not wanting to get married - I really do. We all want different things out of life. But while I don't think that EVERYONE should get married - I don't understand why some people seem to think that NOBODY should get married. Why not just do what's best for you and let others do what's best for them? Some people really love being married. I don't see what the big deal is. Can anyone explain all the hatred about something that is not mandatory?
I believe a majority of people aren't meant to be married. They will try and fail and add to the statistic. However, there are a few, who I believe take the time and test the waters before making the decision-and those people I am happy for. Those people I find are likely to make it.
Excellent thread! I have really wondered why there was so much hatred towards marriage around this forum too. Sure, I understand not everyone wants to be married, but the attitude greatly exceeds not wanting it for themselves. They are convinced it is no good for anybody.

Actually it's a question which has many no right or wrong answers.
My guess is that they're afraid that people will get married and actually be happy..then they'll have to come to the realization that they may have missed out on something.
Just like when people can't do something, then turn around and say 'well, I didn't want to anyway' when they realized they may have missed out.

Another thing that could make my head spin is if marriage is so bad, why did the gays and lesbians fight so hard for the ability to marry?
If I couldn't have something that everyone else hated, I wouldn't give a thought to it.
Well, what's your answer? Why do you hate marriage so much?
I plead the 5th!
My grandfather told my father this many eons ago: "If you have to pick up a rock pick one up that you can carry yourself because if you pick up a rock that you need help carrying and he gets tired he can drop that rock on you." There's truth to this IMO and it goes with your question if one understands its meaning.
Mostly afraid and they transform their fear into angry righteousness.
