Look don't take offense, if you're already married that's great-for you. I'm just saying that I can think of a few reasons as to why you shouldn't get married. However if you can counteract that with reasons as to why you should, then the more power to you. Ready?
1. There is no reliable marriage history which makes me think that it was a concept first conceived by community leaders to help prevent the spread of certain sexually transmitted diseases plaguing the population during such archaic times. Back then marriage was a nicer way of saying "If you have sex with lots of different people you'll likely get syphilis and die".
2. Personally I don't know any real-life virgins. So marrying under the guise of appeasing the Lord in order to make up for the nights spent on your back, with your legs in the air, well that doesn't make sense. You've already bonked and you most probably still bonk, what difference does signing a piece of paper make to God? I wasn't aware he was concerned with paperwork and doesn't he love you just the way you are anyway?
3. This brings me back to point 1. In this day and age we have penicillin so really contracting syphilis has become a case of embarrassment that can be remedied with an injection, not a ring on the finger.
4. You'll spend a fortune on a wedding, gees you might even end up in debt because of it. What's the point? Couldn't you think of a few, possibly more, useful things to spend the money on. Like... A new car, the down payment on a house, a really nice holiday, towards your children's education? And if you have the cash to burn, why not give it to charity, that good dead will last longer than your marriage anyway and it will make all involved a lot happier.
5. Marriages tend to last the grand total of about 24 months, and seeing how easy it is to get divorced what's the point of even getting hitched, surely staying together without being married is saying far more about your ability to commit?
6. OK this is by far my most pertinent of points and it's based on a scientific fact: The larger a species' testicles the more promiscuous they are. This isn't because men are whores by choice, they are by nature and trying to keep men down the straight and narrow via marriage will only work in making them want to fuck everything in sight. Not saying all men... Only the ones with big kahunas.
Please ladies let's not be naive, we're big girls and to expect monogamy is slightly deluded, especially because we know that the many of us aren't into monogamy ourselves. I remember a pastor, an ordained proprietor of marriage, once saying to me that if I think bad thoughts or think about killing someone, as far as God was concerned I've already 'pulled the trigger'. Therefore if I think about doing the hard and nasty with someone other than my beau, I've already cheated? And if that's the case then there can be no such thing as monogamy, because we all know that people think about sex-a lot. And if you want to try and tell me you only think about sex only with your partner... Well now you're just a liar so you're going to hell regardless.

well my dear, what shal i say... you forgot one major reason why people do get hitched when they do - LOVE and hence the COMMITMENT to that one person, whom granted you can stop loving, but from the old folks whom were married for 43 years plus, i understand that generally, love grows and becomes more solid. the commitment has therefore little to do with sex, and nobody can control anybody else's fantacies - whom said old folks don't have those. some happy couples even dare to share that... well, so, what you say?!
ReplyDeleteanother good reason for marriage is that a solid base for a family life, should you decide to have that, is that bond, which makes the HOME a more secure place.
but yeah, lots of committed couples here are NOT married, and they have families, and they love each other, so i guess there is little diffence really.
i know people whom got married for little to no cost though - it needn't be an expensive do, simplisity?!
and then a last thing: sex is overrated anyway, weather it is with lots of people or one person, the older you get, the more other matters come into focus which is more long term, so the commitment to one person is not at all frightening then at all...
SMILE... just some thoughts to share
we all are entitled to our own minds making up their own minds anyway!
I think we should look at improving your photograph. I love photography, not really good at it but I reckon I could improve on the pic you are using. Love your writing - you make me laugh. At least you can write. I love the idea of being able to write well, but cannot write (period). Failed English at Varsity and could not even get it right with my English tutor. Maybe if I had a better command of the English language she would have been more receptive? That said, I want to write a book. Enough has happened in my life to make a good read.... Keep on writing from the heart, it is refreshing.....
ReplyDeleteThanks stranger. Yes the picture is a bit boring but I am as photogenic as a... well I'n not, very, at all. But I'm curious, how would you propose an improvement?
