Marriage: does it benefit anyone?
As far as I can tell it only benefits spouses with medical decisions and financial stability if one of us dies. On the other hand combining incomes takes away access to many useful benefits I currently have for my children. I appreciate the concept of marriage and wish it was logically realistic long term for us. Society has set it up this way!

Ok, we're here. Bring it on. Marriage makes monogamous relationships legitimate. It's best practiced when the whole of society respects marriage and the commitment two people made, in public, to each other. Sure 'till death do you part' is a long time, but if they're intent on commiting. Don't shame it, respect it. And if you're not committed, you probably don't deserve them. Love is work, everyday. Believe me, it's not fun dying alone. (edited)

The point of marriage is to create legal, moral and social bonds between the spouses (and, by extention, their families). To get married is to declare, before society and before the gods, that you are a family, that you have made a lifelong commitment to each other. It is unfortunate that society has lost/is losing its appreciation for marriage, given that the family unit is the building block of society. (edited)

spousal privilege in court, creates legal cushions for spouses (most women depending) in event of sham marriage/divorce entitling Rights/privileges and custody of children and alimony. it's good for some, not great for everyone. situational as most things are. also if you have a pension of purchase one/have retirement assets, the most valid benefit is the joint survivor annuity that will go to a spouse in perpetuity until their life expires, if that option is selected. there's probably too many angles to consider why legal marriage is situationally advantageous without writing a longer block text. creates record of history, descendants to identify ancestors, etc. could go on and on.

What is marriage exactly? Well its firstly a ceremony for making a life long commitment to each other. So problem is that most people generally think they are mature enough to realise they won't grow into different versions of themselves and that their circumstances won't change. Thats why many marriages fail. So the double edge sword of marriage is that you need to work and put in effort to maintain a relationship and be mature and mature with your partner. Its having the same values and beliefs and spiritual outlooks on things, yet fill each others needs. Its creating a life together under the connection and promise you both share. So whats the bennifit of it? So its all relative to what tipes of people that might see it qs valuable

Paternity should be required for child support?
I agree 1,000% that it should be. Too much infidelity and lies going on these days. Avoid all the drama DNA doesn't lie. What do you think? Women would have to be much more accountable and men would know the truth immediately before becoming financially responsible legally.
YES!!

Hear me out.. Men with an older sister >>> Men with a younger sister
I’ve always noticed that men with sisters in general treat women more respectfully, while only children are mommy boys and all brothers treat women like men. However, aside from that, I feel like especially when men have older sisters they act way more grown up mentally. Ones with younger sisters... read more

New years
Do you every actually reach your goals or just give up half way through!? I personally have lists upon lists of goals I'm constantly working towards. New years doesn't really matter if you're keeping track and staying motivated all throughout the year <3

👀 Go easy on me. Or don't...
I believe there are only four ways to define sexuality. And I think it's pretty straightforward: Heterosexual: Being sexually attracted to the opposite sex. Homosexual: Being sexually attracted to the same sex. Bi-Sexual: Having a sexual attraction to either sex. Celibate: Having zero sexual... read more

"The one"
Do you believe there is such a thing as "the one"? And if so, how would you explain the existence of such a person? (Did a god put one on earth for you, is it something inevitable that's just bound to happen, etc)

Kendrick vs glizzy Drake
I have no beef with any artists or rapper but I'm just enjoying the show and grab some of my popcorn. As far as the beef goes, I believe that Kendrick absolutely bodied Drake

At what point/age in life did you decide that preserving your peace is more worth it than being in a relationship with alot of drama? Does this point/age also correlates with the point/age you stopped the experimenting phase in your life?
For me it was at the age of 22. Also for me both points in life correlated with each other.
