ugh. You don't need to be married to talk about marriage.
Of course not. Just like you don't need to be a race car driver to drive a car.
HOWEVER, if you have never driven a race car it would be foolish of you to even attempt to give folks Jeff Gordon or Mario Andretti any advice on the subject

A retarded analogy. Marriage is no escape from the sexual market place and attraction dynamics. Period.

Well that accounts for about 100 out of 5 billion people. Nicely done. And early 20s they shouldn't marry anyway.

Today it's the reverse, at least in the modern American military, where it seems that marriage is essential for an officer's career-advancement.
Because they were exceedingly dangerous and they'd be gone more often than not. Often posted overseas for years without returning home. No longer the case One of the many benefits of marriage is that men take less physical risks when married.

If you're an Lt Col trying to make 0-6, being unmarried counts as a detriment, if only unofficially. If you're a VP vying for the top-job, being unmarried counts as a detriment. The more senior the position, the more socially expected it is to be married.
It isn't the being married, it is being a team. I worked with and for many C level execs of large, rich, orgs. Socializing (especially in the development area) is part of the job, as is entertaining. You're more successful with two people sharing that job.
That is a minority of people. A very small amount.
And I doubt many, if any, that are happily married chose that marriage for their career aspirations or their biography.

Nicely said.
The reality is, some folks are just not good relationship/marriage material.
The important thing is to be happy with your own personal choices when it comes to the way you choose to live your life.
Marriage is the dumbest thing a man can ever do with his life in America. The no-fault divorce laws, bigoted family court systems, and divorce "industry" concocted by the tens of thousands of scum ball lawyers in this God-forsaken dying nation have destroyed the institution of marriage forever. A mature, adult male in this country, today, has to be a complete idiot to think it a good idea to get married. Period. End of story.
If the marriage has a strong foundation, marriage is all of those things and more.
I've seen plenty of good marriages and plenty of bad marriages. At least I know what a good one looks like.
Well said, good for you
