    What's the point of being married?
    Can somebody please explain this to me? I never understood the point of being married.. I really believe marriage is one of the most overrated things in this world.

    Fall in love and you'll see what its all about. Its not comprehensible for people that mash their ham nightly. It's sharing your life with the one you love. Creating a family.

      I can't understand it either, not for me at all. Opie has a very successful marriage and he does it the right way... He is a hero and icon at SBR. He can solve anything you need. God Bless Opie!

        Well I guess everyone is different. I have no desire for it, but if that's what you like then more power to you. Thanks for the response!

            I guess that makes sense. I don't want children.. but I guess for someone who does that'd be a smart move.

              Seriously, Marriage is the most important thing after the boyfriends and girlfriends relationship. This is the start of everything, including creating of the family. We also must be a role model to our children, because they imitate what we are doing,

                      I didn't want kids, either. But as I got older, I softened on that stance. Now 3 years later....I realize its the single greatest thing I ever did. I love being married because I love the family we've become.

                      Being married brought me the one true love of my life.......Click image for larger version

                                Some people are closed off to the idea and some people seem to force it. Don't think either extreme works very well. I want to get married, to have kids and a family. If you found someone you loved would you say fck it because you don't see the point? If it happens, it happens, that's how I think it should be.

                                      Both of these

                                      Also do not get married until at least 25. Bang as many hood rats and skanks as you can before you get married and get it out of your system so you aren't tempted later in life.

                                            One day you won't be a selfish degenerate and will understand why people get married...

                                            Until then, keep betting bad numbers, drinking shitty alcohol, and bangin whores with low self esteem... because these things all end in a very bad way... family on the other hand, will last forever...

                                              I believe it would be insecurity. Possibly a fear their significant other will grow tired of them. I'm pretty sure it doesn't hold any financial benefits other than a joint income, which could be obtained in a regular relationship.

                                                I the US there are several opportunities to take advantage of when you are married, tax and insurance breaks are just a start.

                                                  So you don't become an insane loser. And it's a holy sacrament.

                                                    Unless extended by Congress, current laws softening the marriage penalty will only remain in effect through 2010.

                                                        Being married brought me the one true love of my life.......

                                                        I know its way corny, but its true.
                                                        Not corny at all. I've had dogs. They shit, piss and puke and I am the only one to clean it up. But I would never get rid of them.

                                                        I can't imagine how much more joy kids bring than dogs. Sure they act up and misbehave but it has to be great when you can do things with them and see them improve as people.

Until then, keep betting bad numbers, drinking shitty alcohol, and bangin whores with low self esteem... because these things all end in a very bad way... family on the other hand, will last forever...

                                                              The rewards of marriage are too numerous to list. But it's not for everyone because you have to work at making it a success.
