I'm pretty much an atheist, but I still fully intend to get married. I think there is value in the institution of marriage on a symbolic level if nothing else. Any taxation or other benefits are meaningless to me anyway since in Canada, the same benefits exist for common-law partners.

Marriage is more advantageous for the woman, than the man. In fact, marriage is almost worthless for the man. Feminist may claim it's an institution to enslave women, but that's far from the truth. Although eventually you will have to do it. many women will leave you if you don't marry them. They wont' wait around forever.
You can try to explain that women have all the advanteges, like alimony and child support. Their family doesn't even have to pay for it in this day and age  . The man has to pay for everything. For a contract he can't get out of without losing money . If you explain this logically you may be able to get a prenup. The thing is, most women aren't logical, so a prenup isn't likely to happen  . All marriage is today is a business contract where women get the better end of the deal 99% of the time. Women just don't see it that way.
Basically I have no hope of marrying an american woman. I blame it on their attitudes  . But the real thing is they have high expectations, and I cannot seem to meet those expectations. I hope one day to find a good foreign woman who thinks of marriage as being for life, and knows how to take care of her husband (I'm mainly thinking about sex here, but then when am I not ), provided I take good care of her.

That may be the case if you're inclined to marry a goldbricking piece of white trash. However, if you set your aims a little higher and marry someone who is actually at least your equal in terms of intelligence and earning potential, not to mention someone that actually has similar interests, ambitions and goals in life, there is no "advantage" to be had in a marriage other than a mutual one.

I think most people will agree that marriage is a complicated matter, as evidenced by this classic Monty Python sketch:
quote:
(A large sign saying 'Registry Office ', 'Marriages' etc. A man is talking to the registrar.)
Man (Terry Jones): Er, excuse me, I want to get married.
Registrar (Eric Idle): I'm afraid I'm already married, sir.
Man: Er, no, no. I just want to get married.
Registrar: I could get a divorce, I suppose, but it'll be a bit of a wrench.
Man: Er, no, no. That wouldn't be necessary because...
Registrar: You see, would you come to my place or should I have to come to yours, because I've just got a big mortgage.
Man: No, no, I want to get married here.
Registrar: Oh dear. I had my heart set on a church wedding.
Man: Look, I just want you to marry me... to...
Registrar: I want to marry you too sir, but it's not as simple as that. You sure you want to get married?
Man: Yes. I want to get married very quickly.
Registrar: Suits me, sir. Suits me.
Man: I don't want to marry you!
Registrar: There is such a thing as breach of promise, sir.
Man: Look, I just want you to act as registrar and marry me.
Registrar: I will marry you sir, but please make up your mind. Please don't trifle with my affections.
Man: I'm sorry, but...
Registrar: That's all right, sir. I forgive you. Lovers' tiff. But you're not the first person to ask me today. I've turned down several people already.
Man: Look, I'm already engaged.
Registrar: (agreeing and thinking) Yes, and I'm already married. Still we'll get round it.
Second Man (Michael Palin): (entering) Good morning. I want to get married.
Registrar: I'm afraid I'm already marrying this gentleman, sir.
Second Man: Well, can I get married after him?
Registrar: Well, divorce isn't as quick as that, sir. Still, if you're keen.
Third Man (Graham Chapman): (entering) I want to get married, please.
Registrar: Heavens, it's my lucky day, isn't it. All right, but you'll have to wait until I've married these two, sir.
Third Man: What, those two getting married... Nigel! What are you doing marrying him?
Registrar: He's marrying me first, sir.
Third Man: He's engaged to me.
Fourth Man (John Cleese): (big and butch) Come on, Henry.
Registrar: Blimey, the wife.
Second Man: Will you marry me?
Fourth Man: I'm already married.
(Cut to a photo of all five of them standing happily outside a house.)
Voice Over (Terry Jones): Well, things turned out all right in the end, but you mustn't ask how 'cos it's naughty. They're all married and living quite well in a council estate near Dulwich. |

Well true, but it wasn't me either hogging all the food and eating like a pig. And it wasn't me who didn't go exercizing being to lazy. It wasn't me who told that 'you don't love me anymore'. It wasn't me that told to 'pack up your stuff and leave'. IT WASN'T ME WHO SAID 'I WAN'T HALF!'.
Women .. are .. spawns .. of .. Satan. |
I know youre at least half-joking Pekka...
Still, its hard to know what part age has to do with this...
A lot of old women act like this, married or not...
