why wife?
Well, I have some ideas why someone would wait for a wife but ultimately it might be considered irresponsible or too needy by some people. | |

Too bad you can't just order them from Amazon.com. I'm pretty sure Yahoo! is still selling them. That's where I got mine. Although, that was back in the days when everything on the internet was free. Now I think you have to pay for them. | |

Who here plans on having children? Keep in mind you dont have to be hetero sexual to become pregnant or adopt. Some day, but I don't think I want to here in this society. No kids should grow up in this madness. Anyone? What is your dream job and at what age do you want to start a family? I would like a simple and spiritually rewarding life in a civilization worth the name! /Gazoot | |
LOL!!! I ment age wise!! hell no 25 kids 1-2 at most but after that somethings getting snipped in someone LOL

why wife? Because I'm not interested in a husband! But if you mean "why a wife, as opposed to just shacking up", there are a number of reasons, but the one that applies to kids is this: if I'm going to bring a kid into the world, I'd prefer to do it with the knowledge that I've done as much as possible to prepare a good home for it. | |
I dont see how marriage and good home are in any way directly related
Are you trying to say that somehow, not being married creates a bad home? | |
Are you trying to say that somehow, not being married creates a bad home? No, of course not. I'm just saying it increases the chances. | |
I have to dispute this. My parents are unmarried, yet my family is closer and friendlier than a lot of kids I've met who have married parents.
The actual fact of marriage does not make any difference. It's the relationship between the parents that counts. | |

As I tried to indicate in my post to Dareb, I'm talking about statistical likelihood. No sweeping generalization was intended. If you have a good family life, that's fantastic -- but it doesn't affect my point one way or the other. | |

Never will I bring a child into the chaotic concrete hell we live in. I know that I would mess him up, I mean, what kind of father would I be?
And anyway, I consider myself rather mature, in my terms of thought, "Childhood ends when you know you are going to die." I realised death when I was 8 years old, I've been out of my childhood state of mind for 8 years now. Most people have only been thinking on the terms of an adult for 1-2 years when they hit 16. I don't want any child to live with what we left them, look at what we've done to our own planet, imagine what problems we've left them to deal with. Mainly, this has to do with my issues with "god" I don't believe, but I kind of do, but mostly, I just could care less. If god exists, I don't want any part of her, and if she doesn't, I've been right all along, that religion was old-world science, and now that we have new-world science, we don't need it anymore. Anyway, I'm done batering for a while, feels good to get it out though, congratulations Dareb! Good luck and best wishes. | |

Another difference marriage makes is security... imagine something horrible happens to one of your parents. Being married really makes a huge difference there. Unmarried couples cannot count on being allowed to make important medical decisions regarding their mates, or receiving full benefits from insurance policies, raise the children without interference, etc.
A marriage certificate isn't to prove anything between you and your mate... it's prove it to the state. If you really don't think it's that important, feel free to write your congressional representatives and tell them that you feel the institution of marriage is currently being wasted on you and you'd really appreciate it if they'd cede it to someone else who has a more pressing use for it. | |

I wasn't disputing the legal (or whatever) value of marriage, I was disputing any link between being married and having a good relationship with your partner. (Apart from statistical ones, which in my opinion probably just means that people with really good relationships are statistically more likely to marry.) If you really don't think it's that important, feel free to write your congressional representatives and tell them that you feel the institution of marriage is currently being wasted on you and you'd really appreciate it if they'd cede it to someone else who has a more pressing use for it. Do I sense some resentment here...? | |
Hey, you might become famous someday, assuming they decide to make football cards of towel boys :^).
Just remember that it isn't prostitution if you pay them with dinner and a movie instead of money.
