Benefits of marriage
I'm feeling adventurous today. To the people who actually think marriage should be the goal for a relationship, what exactly is the reason? Other than "that's what everyone does" or (in most cases negligible) financial benefits? Do you think it will improve your relationship? Do you need it to feel secure? Do you need an audience for your love? And just in case, I really don't care about people being cynical about it right now. I'm very well capable of doing that myself.

Quality question. I believe it is a mix. The old days it was required; expected. That you weren't a pure relationship otherwise engaging in extramarital activities. So, many traditions/customs are still set on you need to be married to have someone fully--i think we can all agree there is quite a divergence from that nowadays, though. What has become the norms, seems to be marriage out of life comforts. Things are easier when you have a two person income, household, partnership, etc. And that is appealing as opposed to struggling to get by, as some do. The title of husband and wife to some is a major thing for those who see the fairy-tale that is shown in every hallmark movie. That symbolism of maximum level love and happiness. It might seem delusional to some, but to a person who sees it as an pinnacle of loving someone, it means the world. It doesn't guarantee forever, but it feels like it's possible at least.

This is a really good post. I have been wondering about it for years now. At the risk of oversimplifying it, it seems a marriage legitimizes a relationship in religious contexts. Those who are not bound by religious values may find its risks and complications to be a deterrent since religious validation is not needed. Legally, it offers a level of complexity meant to deter people from breaking the relationship, so it may create a sense of stability. Fiscally, it can be financially benefitial depending on whether both partners have good budgeting/spending/savings/investing sense or skills. The way it currently works in some cultures may bring complications that make the whole thing more of a hassle than a package benefit. A marriage is not a necessary requirement for a good relationship, which should be the whole point of it, plus some assurances. It's a structure that has developed throughout history to support a "good" relationship based on the criteria of "good" held by society at a given point. As much as I dislike traditions (peer pressure from dead people, imo), marriage is (and can be) a positive symbol and fruitful tradition that enhaces relationships and society. (edited)

Marriage, to me, is the ultimate commitment. You can “say” you’re committed, but until there’s a ring, and an audience to witness the joining of two souls into one, it’s just not the same in my book. It’s nothing to do with “feelings” or religion on my end, either. Not about whether or not I feel secure. It’s the meaning behind it all. So, technically, it doesn’t need to be a huge ceremony, and the law doesn’t need to get involved. Just a small gathering between both families and friends of both parties. Exchanging of rings, or even tattoos would be acceptable. Something to make it very official, to say “I’m in this for the long haul, come hell high water, even if we’re dirt poor and living on the street, you’re my forever person, and I wouldn’t give you up for anything.”

Marriage is only purposeful in the context of having children. It ensures that you maintain a family unit so that a child can be raised by a mother and father. The parents would be bound to each other in a way that makes them settle their disagreements in favour of the relationship, rather than simply parting ways when they encounter difficulties.

Smileeeee 🥳🙃
We all seem to want the same thing. A connection. I find Ive connected more with someone in a supermarket through a smile than any conversation I've had online. We're swiping based on a sentence bio and a half edited picture for a start 😥.

Know you're value and know when to walk away ❤️
I've learned a lot about myself this year. After spending nearly ten years with body dysmorphia and choosing not to socialise with friends or meet a woman. Just when I wasn't looking for a relationship, I found what I thought was my future with a nice woman and her daughter. My BDD and her... read more

✨ What's everyone's favourite music, game , podcast or show to fall asleep to and why? Mines the sports podcast The Overlap. ✨ Apart from Rooney's episode where he says erm every 3 seconds 🤣
Has anyone ever gone through a phase of having to watch the same thing before bed? I think it can create a sense of comfort and safety because you know what's going to happen next 🤔 #sleep #podcasts #film #anxiety #gaming
