How come people don't understand that marriage is unnatural and a dumb thing to do?

Hi. It's been studied over and over again that marriage is unnatural. Men and women are just supposed to mate then move on and not stay lifetime partners. Marriage is also an outdated thing. In the past, when lifespans were shorter, people got married because they knew they would probably die within a few years anyway. Studies say that marriage is actually a bad financial investment these days, especially for men. Divorce is very expensive. Why doesn't society accept that marriage is not natural and is outdated? What do you think? Thanks.

    Of course legal contracts are not from nature.

    Computers are not from nature, either. Science proves they're unhealthy for you (promote advanced eye damage, carpal tunnel syndrome, attention problems, people who spend more time sitting have more health problems, etc.). But obviously you are on it, so you must feel the benefits to you would outweigh the risks, right?

    Marriage is not in the past... people still look to get married, to pair off, etc. As long as people are still doing it and still desiring it, it's not outdated.

    If you don't want to get married, don't do it.

    Marriage isn't unnatural and it's certainly not dumb. It's a way to show how committed you are to each other and show how much you've loved each other through all the years. It's romantic and sweet. Waking up everyday and seeing your partner and knowing you have their last name and that you guys are married is so beautiful. It shows that their love is strong and Unbreakable.

    Its not unnatural to get married. It's natural to fall in love, get married, have children if you want them and to develop a lifetime relationship with that person, the same person, the one God intended for you for a lifetime.
