why should men get married?

Marriage is just a legal document that helps you get lower taxes and insurance. It proves nothing.

Sex, love, romance, intimacy with the same partner dies.

Because there is something about marriage that signifies a union. I think it's more about what the idea of marriage means. Nothing much changes, just a signed paper that links you two together and a certain expensive process if you two break up. I think it makes a woman feel more stable in a relationship, like it shows her that you are there for the long term--dedication. There's just some things about tradition that we really don't let go as we age on as humans. Marriage is one of them. I can't tell you what the big deal is about marriage. You just expect that it's the next step in a serious relationship. I suppose it's like religion and government. I can't tell you the specific reason why humans created them, except for the feel of guidance and stability, but they seem to reassure us in some sense.

You know, a lot of women are not like how you described. Let's use me as an example. I don't like The Notebook. I love football--go Steelers!--and I like to keep my emotions pretty stable if I can and like to solve problems with the idea that there is some degree of compromising in the end.

Sex is an important part of marriage. If you're in a marriage where you aren't getting any, then chances are your marriage isn't that healthy. If you aren't happy with your marriage, then you need to address that yourself. It's not the fault of marriage or us. It's the couple--the ground the union is built on.

-study shows that children who have both of their parents and still married have higher chance of education, social life, success, and etc.

If you say that then why should women get married??

-Women go to school and have jobs like men do now a days

-Women have to be pregnant to have babies..we have to carry a size of watermelon in our belly for months and our body gets ruined and it's not going to be the same anymore and we puke and mood disorders. Even when we are not prego we have periods every month;bleeding, dizziness, hormones going crazy, cramps, and etc...but the children get the dad's last name.

-when people get married it's usually the women doing MORE cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the kids...but women are expected to work at least part time now a days and if they become a full time stay home mom their social life is pretty much over and they don't work anymore..so much for going to school!

If I can choose not to have children and have my husband have the babies..and I work and become the big bread winner then I would choose that any day.

My mom used to make 4 times more than my dad(my dad makes a decent money) but after my mom had me and my brother she quit her job to be there for us. She sacrificed so much for us and I am very thankful for her being there for me and my brother when I was little. And it's not easy being a stay home mom.

And you say women are emotional? Wouldn't you be emotional if your **** bleed for 5 days every month?

Real men understand where women are coming from. Ignorance is the problem.

Completely agree with you, its the same for us women. I like my freedom and my independence and I earn far more than any man could, I own my own clothing business.

Who needs to be married and lose half of that if it does not work out.

No man is worth it.

It sounds like you are very young, and i agree at your age noone should get married. You need to enjoy your single life.

As you mature, marriage is about companionship, family and children. Building a life together with someone.Its about compromise and finding things you do like in common... and hopefully as you get older that you will have more interests than sport or movies anyway.

Add to that, there are plenty of woment these days who earn just as much or even more than their husbands.
