personally i have no idea after reading about strahan getting fucked on the divorce and MJ being ordered to break his ex off something real proper and since divorce rates are between 40% and 50% for real whats the point by the way this is coming from a 23 yr old.
Why Would Anyone Get Married?
- Thread starter stickmanX
- Start date
People marry for various reasons. I live in the midwest and I know plenty of couples (mostly white) that have been married well over 20 years. Some people just believe in marriage and religious beliefs play a huge part in that. Most people do not have Jordan or Strahan money. Someone told me a long time ago that it is easier for two people to make it in this world than one. Also, people that have children tend to want to set a positive example for their kids. Marriage requires a great deal of commitment. It is not a fairy tale. It is a partnership.
The point is that so that the children that 'you' bring into this world will have a father and mother together and the security of a stable home environment. Hey, if dudes are so worried about maybe losing much of their financial gain the option of signing a pre-nup is always available. If a man dearly loves his woman and the children that he wishes to bring or have brought into this world he would do the right thing and make it a 'proper union' and work on making the family unit strong and stable, the right way to do this is firstly to marry his partner ..... HOWEVER .... the marriage must only be entered if the man's and woman's heart and soul are deeply into making it work and the love is genuine on both sides otherwise it will only head into the direction of dramatic failure.
People should get married if they have any idea who they are, and whom they are about to marry. Any other reason to NOT get married is just garble. Men marry because the chick is fine, gives hood head or has the bomb body, yet she brings not a damn thang else to the table....then complain as though all women are like that.
Women marry ballers like they will never get caught, criminals as though they are not violent, and men with other kids by other women they don't take care of, then complain when he does nothing for her and hers.
That said, marriage is fine, choosing the wrong muphucka TO marry is the problem.

Women have too much damn leverage.
Marriage is starting to look like a game of Poker where the dude is given a fucked up hand, and he just HOPES that chick don't know how to play her cards right! If she does, she's cashing in ...
All these people talkin' all these marryin' the right person shit, and partnership ...
Fuck all of that, I used to be that dumb-assed motherfucker one-time. Hell, I was singing that song less than a year ago ... but, that MJ shit shook the hell out of me.
Marriage can work, but I'm not liking the odds. A dude like me, whose out here trying to make major, major money, had better stay his ass away from an altar ....

co-sign. Seems like theres a lot of corporations and others making a lot of money on this "American Dream" shit. I believe in marriage and I believe it can work where both parties are happy but in this day and age and how people are raised, it is rare.
No, it is not a guarantee, but there are some people who are married when marriage TRULY meant something.IEman99 said:
Usually, the people who ask these questions or respond like you, are young, dumb and stupid and no matter how much pussy you had you are still inexperienced with women.......maybe, just maybe people dream of getting married at 19-20 and when they turn 80-85-90 they SEE EXACTLY THE SAME PERSON THAT THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH AT THAT TENDER AGE. Yes, it sounds naive, but it does happen. Or maybe people 30-35-40-45 fear spending the rest of their lives in the void of singleness or w/o feeling the passion of truly mattering to someone. Or maybe people 50-55-60 feel as if their opportunity of finding true love has been lost. Basically, what I am saying, is the little post adolescent rantings (or post pubescent rantings) of a few persons like you dont matter because people NEED people. Typically anyone 10 to 30 dont have shit to say EVEN IF they see value in marriage. Hey, there are bad women out here and you dont have to be married to know that. Per Example:
My Mother and Father got separated and practically divorced after 23 years of a stormy, tumultuous marriage. they had five beautiful kids together and had difficulty putting their selfishness aside for the good of each other, but they raised us gloriously. After the separation, it was very messy and they hated each other for a long time afterwards, and blamed each for many things.....Even separated, they BOTH have been through the death of a son, incarceration of another son, the Graduations, and accomplishment etc. My father fell ill of a debilitating and eventually fatal disease. The shame in it is that he had to wait on his disability check for 2 years in order to make it. My mother after about 20 years of being separate from him. decided to take him in, for the Chicago winter...... She found out he had not changed much from the time that they separated. And she kicked him out in the Spring. So, after several months of living with his obstinate unchanging ways, she found out that there was bad blood in him from the separation. Eventually my father became terminally ill and was going to die a painful and lonesome death, being confined to a nursing home for the last year of your life is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. Other than the sons that THEY RAISED TOGETHER there was my mom. She cooked for him, bathed him when he was unable to move due to poor range of motion and blindness, gave us money to enable us to provide for him. And He eventually succumbed...... At his funeral, we found out that she TRULY was not in love with him, but she did care about his well being and was immensely in love with their creations. It makes he feel happy that my father did not die a TRULY lonely man. Next time you question the power of the love of a good man and a good woman..... Please, do taking a trip to a local Senior home or Nursing home. See how happy the dying people with mates are compared to the people who unfortunately thought like you and ran with it. It is an old cliche, but it is an axiom, behind every great man, there is a woman. Well, without that woman (OTHER THAN YOU TYPING FOR YOUR MOMS CRIB) You are nothing. I bolded the important parts so that you youngins' should learn to put silly shit aside. No Colin Powell please

good point
My father came down with cancer a few months ago and if going through kimo, etc.
Watching my mother taking care of him is making me realize what marriage ( a real one anyways ) is all about.
Having said that, marriage today is different than what it was 30, 40 years ago.

^^^^^^^ Good Points..... If your selection is all fucked up from jump, you are going to reap whatever you sow into it negatively. I actually think that the people who dont believe in marriage are in denial. So every woman in your life is goin to be your whore or concubine. Most of the times, women are exactly what you make them in their relationship wih you
I got a great fucking wife man. 
That is no joke.
Only 4 years but it feels like newlyweds.
Get an immigrant I keep stressing.
Women in different countries were raised different
I took my wife to a cook out my sister had and these
american bitch was sittin around grillin my wife cause
she foreign. Trippin off the fact that she cooks all the
time like women used to do in america.
One bitch jokingly said basicly we gonna show her how
american women do it or "convert" her.
I laughed at they stupid asses and said
"It wont work cause this is how she was raised,all the things
you rotten bitches call a chore like cooking cleaning and shit
she loves to do."
I can't tell my wife to sit down. She will say
"Ok just let me finish this vaccuming or gardening or whatever
thats just her she's a busy body who cant sit down and is always
cooking or cleaning even if you say "baby please come chill out"
I just make sure I match her in some kinda way to show appreciation.
I allready know I lucked up. Listening to all the blues sung around
this bitch about women makes me appreciate mine more.
Go get you a fine ass south american girl costa rica brazil venezuela.
Trinidad girls are black...they are usually very good women if you catch
them before the american bitches and american tv does.
African women are good many times but you niggas dont like darkskin.
Things are different in america we sacrifice a lot of shit over here.
Ask any immigrant they came to the USA to make money but they miss
the family values/structure of their native country most times.

I'll say this. I was married for 4 years. When I met my ex wife I fell for her pretty hard. She was was one of those fraudulent Christians you always see in the street. She would be mad at me for not going to Church but quick to call you a Motherfucker in 2 seconds. She smoked weed behind my back and pretty much took her homegirls over me at every chance. On top of that Sex stopped when we got together all together. We eventually divorced and I was bitter behind all the bullshit she put me through for a long time.
Don't believe that bullshit about the man "Losing" all his possessions! that's bullshit. When me and my old lady split I got pretty much everything. I even got the house. My business was still intact (she never got a dime). Plus She knew that if she tried she would be sucking up dust in a coffin right now. Don't let some hoe scare you into giving her an inch.
Early during my Separation I met my current fiance'. We were friends for a long time. I dated women and she always remained my friend. She really made me believe in marriage again. We are getting married this November and this woman really loves me! I'm talking about adores me. My ex wife had no clue what love was. My ex brags about how she always wanted to be single and marriage was just something she tried (been there done that type of thing). That's because she's a very selfish person. I for one look forward to my new wifey. Ain't nothing wrong with marriage. People do change over time. And sometimes it's hard going but if you are committed to the commitment you should be okay.
As for me and other women (new pussy) I've fucked SO MANY woman in my life, shot videos, I've fucked 2 sisters at the same time. I banged this one chick later banged her cousin. Been to swinger parties. Fucked every different race of woman you can think of. I've prolly been with over 100 woman. I've had the "chicks trying to pin kids on me until DNA set me free". I've had condoms pop and sat on pins and needles for weeks until my tests come back clear. And I've also seen where I've been in a bind and the woman I'm dating doesn't have support for me at all. So marriage for me works because I like having someone I can come home to and unload all of the bullshit I've dealt with in the streets. Like that other poster said I don't want to die alone with nobody in my corner.

Why do you care? If you enjoy going out the club getting clowned because you're a 40 year old out to meet a 20 something year old, then go ahead. You say this now, but me and my wife laugh when we go out to a club or bar occasionally and see some old ass nigga trying to pick up on young college hoes.stickmanX said:
All your boys will be married and you will be the lone bachelor living alone with some dumb whore who can't count to 5. Yall niggas are never satisfied.

A dime is more than her physical appearance. You are jocking a shell.

LOL. So you got married because all your friends did it? Or because you feared being single at 40+? Peer pressure is a motherfucker, huh?
Marriage as it is strucured now is an archaic institution. It is like riding in a horse and buggy on the interstate among speeding cars and wondering why you can't keep up. Cats crack me up getting married out of fear. Fear of being single. Fear of being alone over a certain age. Fear of how it will look to not be in wedlock. Where else in life would you sign a LIFETIME contract for anything? You wouldn't because people change and situations change. 60 percent of marriages end in divorce because the institution as it is now is too rigid, too inflexible. Then most cats are in marriages fucking hoes outside the marriage, trampling the vows they took before God. And are saying "me and my wife are happy." WHo is more honest, the 40 year old single man who fucks hoes in their 20s or the married 40 year old man who lies to his wife, violates the marital vows and fucks hoes in their 20s? Is adultery any better than fornication??

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Its good to have someone in your corner, but seriously most sista minds have been blown...and are not marrage material.
How can a truly happily married man even be posting on a porn board?
I never really accepted western philosophy on the one woman rule no way because its not in the Black man nature to be monogomous...thats that white man way of thinking to control you.
So I think I'll just kick it 20 more years with the same baby mama...Shit!
If she get half...all she gettin is bad porn magazines from the 80's...
Everytime them women give me that choice of marriage or step...I step cause I can't be rolling off the whiteman thinking my brotha.
I want my harem...40 acres..and a mule
fuck that...

Shit like this is why we're always being written off as dogs
I have nothing against marriage...I'll probably get married at a later age...but some of the reasons are a bit silly such as being worried about being too old to meet younger women (lack of confidence)...or fear of being alone (dependency)...people get divorced sometimes late in life and they have to regroup and go out looking for women...there's something silly about a man of any age hounding chics in a club...doesn't sound like a valid reason for running out and getting married though...when a man can meet women of various ages in various different settings...and I understand the cats not wanting to be alone but that desperation to get married out of fear can cause you to bring the wrong person into your life...my reason for getting married if I do would be because I found a woman who wants what I want out of life and is willing to be with me as we get it...
This thread always comes up and I am always amazed at how many folks are against marriage. I would most of these cats are fairly young and still having fun with the dating scene. Trust me when I tell you that this shit does not go on forever. At some point the shit gets boring and you get tired of fucking around with the same old style chicks. If you want to be single and enjoy the things that go along with it enjoy yourself. Just trust it won't last forever and at somepoint your going to want to put down roots with a women who loves you more than you love yourself.

Real talk here, i can speak to the fact about immigrant saying they miss the values of home, even Akon at one point said in Africa they always knew they had family but here its was like we raise our children to eventually separate from the family. My closet homeboy is from Africa and has some of the strongest values ive ever seen from a black man to any other.
He has brought me in contact with a few more and they all are very genuine people with a strong sense of loyalty. Now as a 34 yr old talking to this 23 yr old. You are on the right track to ask these types of questions at your age, take it all in, but make your move on your own experiences dont push any good woman aside cause she's not this or not that, or because the head ain't bomb or the pussy ain't phat, lol Keep that up and you will end up like 80% of the haters on BGOL. (hummmm you might be on track for that too, LOL)
but i do here GREAT things about bringing something over for another land GREAT THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, he isn't entirely off base. There is a known negative correlation between religiosity and rate of divorce in north america. Though I am not entirely implying a causative effect - the 'relation' (and I use the term loosely) does need to be examined further.Dr. Munhihausen II said:

I know I want to get married so I can raise my family and create my own foundation. Without that, you have nothing to put your name on. It takes alot of hard work and I've yet to jump into that until I've reached the point where I start looking to settle down and find me a stable(emotionally as well as financially) woman who I can see raising baring a bright girl/boy. I'd like to raise my daughter/son like that dad I'll prepare myself to be(I'll be taking parenting classes to so as to not mess up my role as a dad). I remember seeing this dudes engagement event on this blog one time"Remember the Ritz" and boy, I want that for my future wife. I do think that most people don't give it that extra effort to keep the marriage intact. In doing so, the children suffer, the wife is in shambles because she probably invested more than he ever did. I also think they just didn't date each other long enough to know what their needs were and to work out the comprises that were to come by tying the knot or jumping the broom. by then, I'll hopefully get away from BGOL,
and throw all my po'n out becuase my wife will do. it's all about discipline in the man that makes or breaks the marriage, women cheat becuase they are devoid of affection. men cheat becuase they are devoid of discipline or just keeping it in their pants,

There are many negative correlations between "something" and "divorce".
Different religions have different beliefs.
Plus
Being "religious" does not determine if people stay married.
In church congregations across the country it is safe to assume that some members have been through a divorce.
All of the divorcees that I know consider themselves "religious".
Something else must be "negatively correlated" with divorce rates.
In conclusion, his argument is weak.
