I can almost agree with this. If you have kids you should be married. If you don't want kids (a mistake for most) then there is no point to getting married. That's why I don't und the whole gay marriage thing. I don't care what other people want to do and I may disagree personally but I wouldn't advocate for laws against same sex relationships, but what the point of getting married if you can't have kids anyways.

you can have kids if you are gay. lesbian couples can have donor sperm. gay couples can have donor eggs and surrogates. any couple regardless of sexuality can adopt. that's a family just as much as having "your own" biological children.

kinda regarded bro not about gay marriage but some people want companionship even if they dont want kids. or if theyve dedicated their lives to something else and don't have enough life left for kids. although i agree with your basic point about traditional marriage there's lots of different ways to be a human being

Oof. Terrible advice, but you do you. 🤙

It more of an opinion then advice :) Of course it depends how laws are structured in your place and how much rights one have if bad things happen. These are somehow a taboo topics nobody likes to talk about but because people like easier ways, they choose marriage but this can become more of a burden then not if one decided different path.

Marriage is the only binding “commitment” that currently exists. I wish we had other options. I think committing to something (someone) is an essential step in life. Does it have to be “Till death do you part” marriage? I don’t think so. Maybe we could have term limits, or renegotiation periods, like when the babies become teenagers or leave the house. But the same goes for any partnership (creative, romantic, platonic) if you don’t commit, and take on some of the hard stuff about getting close to others, then yea, I think we lose as a society.
