Haven't read the whole thread, so maybe I'm repeating something, I don't know.
But hey - news flash - some people have moral beliefs that include believing that sex should be reserved for marriage - and they want that level of intimacy with another person so marriage is the logical moral framework within their belief system.
When two people with the same belief system find spiritual joy and satisfaction within marriage, as well as sexual intimacy that lines up with their moral beliefs, then who's to say that's unnecessary for them?
Like someone else said early on, if you don't want to get married, don't get married. But don't assume that your belief system is the only valid one out there. If you don't want to be judged for NOT getting married, don't judge others for getting married.
Dude, if you don't want to get married, don't get married. Why even start a thread?
I'm pretty sure there was no answer to your question that would make you change your mind.
What's your point?
It's supposed to be a free country with free speech. If we want to re debate a thousands of year old debate here we should be able to without mods censoring us. If you don't like it then maybe you should not participate. No offense but just because you are a mod does not make your argument more valid than mine or anyone elses here.
A lot of men who refuse to marry, may wind up getting sick or disabled when they get older, and wish they had a spouse to take care of them. Or they might lose all their money and wish they had a second income (spouse) to fall back on. Things might not always be so great for the single man. And try getting good jobs when you are past age 45. It gets harder.
My single friends and I, in our 20s, would get hit on all the time by 50+ year old guys. We weren't interested.

No one is censoring you, and I have just as much right to that free speech as you.
For most of my life I didn't want to get married. I made no threads about it, read no articles, and didn't need to put down the opposite gender to justify it.
It was a personal decision, just as it was a personal decision when I decided to marry.

That's all a chance, there is no court that will force a wife to work or take care of her ill husband or taking half and splitting.

You do unfairly censor posts if you don't agree with them. I'm actually surprised this thread isn't closed now tbh. I shouldn't have to come on here and explain to the mods why I want to start a thread about marriage on the relationship board.

Yes, but there's also a chance that a wife will take care of her husband. Lots of people take care of their old, infirm or ailing spouses. I see it every day. If you're not married, there is zero chance a spouse will take care of you.
