I think they should just take that thing out of the marriage speech all-together. I mean come on, what's the divorce rate in this land? Like 50%?
The words lost their meaning completely. Wouldn't it it just be better if they say "To have and to hold, unless there is a dispute"?

Marriage should be a 1 or 2 year contract. Only to be continued if both parties are still satisfied..

Marriage is deeply rooted in the bible. That's where the vows come from.

Actually, in some places such as some areas of California, the vow has been very creatively edited to become a non-vow. My favorite is "until our union shall no longer serve the greater good."

Hmm...why do people get married in the first place? The divorce rates high, the rate of infedelity is high, is the kid even yours? and when you get a divorce you lose half your stuff. Marriage seems just a big joke. It seems people get married for the idea of it and not the principles.

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

Think about those 3 religions and what their main books are.

Only 1 of these differs from the rest.

You all are also saying that 50% of all marriages fail. Ok well think about people that fail multiple times because they rush into it, that throws it off quite a bit.

Every 50% that worked, worked once and works for life.

Yes...but you still need lawyers and crap.

My parents divorce was mutual and they decided what they each wanted, etc, yet it still cost them thousands in lawyers.

If I've got to take her to court and everything it's not worth it.

Prevention is better than the cure. Especially when the cure is divorce.

The Vedas, Yoga of Knowledge, Bhagavd-Gita(Hinduism doesn't have just ONE book, there's hundredS), Koran and The Bible.

In all honesty, people should just really wait to make sure it's the "right person" if they want to get married. Marriage isn't very everyone though. Especially if your family is catholic, because if you get divorced its a big bad sin. :eek:

Or the annual contract works well...

Maybe people could marry different people every year and instead of sharing one persons life can share multiples... But the kids would be messed up because having different parents every year would make you feel uncomfortable.

Ah! Or we could all become muslim and have multiple wives! Why didn't other religions adopt this idea?!?

well im pretty sure the "til death do we part " term means " you arent allowed to leave me and take all my stuff that i worked hard for and run off with someone else "

i would be tickled to see the terms extended to " and if you cheat , you die "

rofl !!!

in theory this sounds good but because women are so fierce in competiton and jealousy it never works out

in history you see wife A have wife B's children killed so her son leads the tribe

story of Alexander

in the bible you see Sarah drive Abraham mad with her bull$hit forcing him to expel her hand maiden and his son

even though it was her idea that he sleep with the chick so they could have kids

the upside would be the sex but i think having your children murdered by other wives and having wives plotting your downfall constantly would outweigh the varied sex

one women on a full time basis is plenty of trouble :yes:

" stop being insecure " i hate that saying. it's a cop out for not having enough balls to confront a woman about what she is doing THAT IS WRONG or potentially damaging to a long term relationship. – Lost In Translation
