Why would any INTELLIGENT Black Man want to get married?

[donwuan]

1. Increase Your Pay
A Virginia Commonwealth University study found that married men earn 22 percent more than their similarly experienced but single colleagues.

2. Speed Up Your Next Promotion
Married men receive higher performance ratings and faster promotions than bachelors, a 2005 study of U.S. Navy officers reported.

3. Keep You Out of Trouble
According to a recent U.S. Department of Justice report, male victims of violent crime are nearly four times more likely to be single than married.

4. Satisfy You in Bed
In 2006, British researchers reviewed the sexual habits of men in 38 countries and found that in every country, married men have more sex.

5. Help You Beat Cancer
In a Norwegian study, divorced and never-married male cancer patients had 11 and 16 percent higher mortality rates, respectively, than married men.

6. Help You Live Longer
A UCLA study found that people in generally excellent health were 88 percent more likely to die over the 8-year study period if they were single.

Because WHEN IT WORKS WITH THE RIGHT WOMAN, a marriage can be a nurturing, affirming, healthy, powerful partnership...

The key is, of course, finding that right woman, which is not easy these days...

It's not easy, but it's not that hard either.

Huh??? Without a true emotional committment and a legal "partnership," none of that works for very long and it has little value. Having kids outside of marriage is a disaster (which the black community should be well aware of). If you wanna run around and be a footloose, uncommitted man-whore, fine. Just please don't burden society with any kids.

with this post, i'm convinced that you're a single, lonely bitch who wishes someone would please, please, please come along and marry your sorry ass...

emotional commitment ain't got shit to do with marriage. married people cheat every cot damn day. period.

having kids outside of marriage is a disaster... but how many kids do you know that are a product of divorce? those kids are usually VERY fucked up too.

irresponsible men burden society by providing sperm. irresponsible women, who don't value their future and their bodies, collect sperm and bear children even with birth control pills, shots, etc. available.

please don't ask grown men to make potentially LIFE ALTERING decisions for women who should seek to protect themselves from pregnancy and whatever else is out there.

but as we know, women do NOT ask men to strap up.

3 REAL reasons why you should get married

1. estate planning issues (your long term partner near the end of your life)
2. your love lives in another country and needs a green card
3. health insurance

other than those above, i cannot think of a reason why ANY man (black or otherwise) would get married

Its really not difficult finding a potential soulmate. Niggas are looking in poorly insulated refridgerators for a gallon of cold milk then feign shock and disgust and the outcome. Good women are out there, too many to count. But if you losers want to continue this bitter circle jerk, go ahead and get crazy.

Until they change the tax code to favor being single, there are many benefits you get being married. Broke people are always worrying about shit they have no control over.

This may be a bullshit study & I dont know if I'll live longer, but as a marriage man, I can identify with the above

I lived a married life way before we had the ceremony and said our vows

It's a unity u form when u find the right women.. IF you find the righ one..

Don't hate what u cant understand.. Aint my fault you niggas stay fucking with the wrong one's

 

[swiftandsilent]

I've been married a few years now and damn... I still have yet to see the "ADDED VALUE". Glad to know I'm not alone -- http://www.exploitedhusbands.com pretty much captures every Married Black Man's Unspoken FEARS, FRUSTRATIONS, and DEAD DREAMS

Just going to sit in the cut and watch how this one turns out.

See this shit right here????????????????????????

That's it.

Cats are 10 years deep in marriage on BGOL talking about how good it is, wait until you are 20 years deep in, the kids are gone and THEN you get the divorce. I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy.

With trusts, power of attorney, wills, life insurance, etc you can have a life partner without fucking yourself. Just be glad most men are dumb(pussy makes them dumb even though they are smart in other areas in life). Other wise common law would be rule in this country. Palimony would too. I am thankful we still have men willing to enter that crazy business venture.

 

[4North1Side2]

Marriage didn't enhance or enrich my relationship with my Wife and children in anyway...My Wife says she feels that it made us closer lol. We both have absolutely no religious connections.

I will say that being "married" especially with children have a whole lot of people looking at you in a positive light. Aw man and your black too, people look at you with tremendous amount of respect.

Shit is ass backwards tho with religous people...

If you are an excellent Father and spouse they'll be like that's good but you should get Married to make it right. WTF but... Your a piss poor Father and Husband they be like it's ok, God will work it out between them two.

 

[WaterBottle]

im happily married....she is a great wife and mother and one of my best friends.

 

[oatsuzn]

The only reason to get married I see, is to avoid child support. Get a good prenup (leave with what u came in with), marry them and you control where your money goes. Aint having some Family court judge pull money out my check for some bitch to get her hair and nails done.

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Love being married and starting a family...feel sorry for those who will never experience it.

Being happily married is possible, but it can't happen for everybody, and being married period aint for everybody.

Its really not difficult finding a potential soulmate. Niggas are looking in poorly insulated refridgerators for a gallon of cold milk then feign shock and disgust and the outcome.

[rundatrack]

What about asking what did you do wrong with this marriage to make it completely of no added value?

-Did she "change"
-Did you get married too young?
-Were you completely ready when it happened?
-Are you by default a cat that likes to chase chicks?
-Did you have on love goggles and didnt see this woman you married as who she is?
-Did she have kids ...and now the shit is not worth it?
-Is she a stay at home wife

There are questions that you should answer honestly before we answer. Because there are 2 sides to the story and your initial post was very vague on what you saw as not a added value.

 

[Louis Koo]

LOL check out this couple and the "sanctity of marriage"

http://blogs.forbes.com/janetnovack/2010/08/18/a-surprising-tax-advantage-to-marriage-divorce/

[H]eterosexuals have a last ditch option for solving their tax woes: a quickie marriage to facilitate a tax-free divorce. Far fetched? A wealthy couple going through a “divorce” discovered their marriage 10 years before was legally void because the wife’s previous divorce hadn’t yet gone through. The solution in that case: A new quickie marriage, followed by a quickie divorce.

Because it's the best environment to raise a family in.....it may not be ideal but it's a 100 times better than anything else...

ooooh, if you could only READ.

The OP is married.

 

[Retired Mizer]

I ask that same question all the time myself.

 

[4North1Side2]

-Did she "change"
We all change as we mature but in essence my Wife and I remained the same people at the core we fell in love with.

-Did you get married too young?
No, we married at the ages of 20 but I do feel that I got into a serious relationship way to early at 17...Just when I was getting all types of pussy.

-Were you completely ready when it happened?
Yeah, we were together for 2 or 3 years already.

-Are you by default a cat that likes to chase chicks?
Nah, I prefer a stable relationship.

-Did you have on love goggles and didnt see this woman you married as who she is?
No, the only time my Wife changed was when I was being a asshole doing her first pregnancy...She is very sweet Woman but this one day she turned hood on me threatening to get her drug dealing brother to beat my ass. I was seriously turned off because I was really afraid that she showed her true self, a hoodrat...Whew thank goodness that wasn't the case!

-Did she have kids ...and now the shit is not worth it?
Both our Son's are ours...Parenting was real easy for me during the baby stages but as my oldest grows, Parenting becomes more complex and you realize this shit ain't no walk in the park. Being a Father is ultra rewarding tho.

-Is she a stay at home wife
She works full time, even willingly works overtime which she doesn't have to. She still performs the traditional Wife duties as well. My Wife is the shit.

I actually agree here...

All the studies are by different respected sources yet you call "bullshit"? High School and College are bullshit too, right? Drop Out. You a hoodrat chasing parties. Get ya weight up.

Pretty much. That nigga donwuan did say "gravity hasn't been proven to exist"

Where that Flash convict? And we know you ain't seen no part of a college campus. Ain't shit funny about you believing the THEORY OF GRAVITY is a FACT. But that's what should be expected from the nigga in the club taking pictures for $10 dollars. Lazarus must be your best customer. Get ya weight up.
