You know the institution of marriage is on the rocks when married dudes highlight saving on car insurance as some great benefit of marriage. Not taking shots but that is the funniest ish I heard all day.

What I really sense is that most married men don’t want to be married but they got married and realized it is not as bad as expected. Sort of like buying a shoe a half size too little because your size is sold out; the fit is uncomfortable, it's not what you really want but you can deal with it.
What I am reading in this thread from married and pro-marriage NTers is nothing more than empty rhetoric rooted in one shape or another from the Bible. Words like commitment and bond sound nice and are cute but don’t mean much. You say that marriage is the ultimate commitment and you want to forge a bond with your significant other. What I find interesting with that concept is that you won’t commit to a healthier lifestyle (exercise, eating better, quit smoking) How can you commit to a stranger for the rest of your life before you first commit to yourself?
And I call women strangers in the sense that we truly don’t know our women; we only know what they want us to know. You honestly think your current or future wife will admit to the abortion in high school or the train that got ran on her college? If she told you would you stay married? I doubt it.
And someone posted they don’t want to be alone when they get older. Well there is a difference between being single and unwed. As men, our value (respective to the dating market) increases with age. So if you got yourself together it shouldn’t be hard to find a mate in your later 30’s to 40’s. From an economic perspective most men’s peak earning years are in their late 40’s to early 50’s. Chase you dream and the women will chase you.
Fellas, this is America. Women don’t give a damn about a marriage. Women want a wedding, a ring and a baby. And fellas what do we get? The bills. And if we don’t willingly come out of pocket to pay those bills we are not “real men” or “providers” It is a woman’s baby when it time to take pictures and buy cute clothes. It is a man’s baby when it is time to buy diapers and formula. As another Nter pointed out marriage is a contract. Why would I risk it all without receiving any sort of tangible benefit that is appropriate with my level of risk. It don’t make no sense.
And for the simps out there Tyrone is real. This married woman at work all but gift-wrapped the P to me. While at work she be rubbin on my shoulders and giving me a massage in front of the rest of the co-workers. Puttin them big ******* all in my face. Meanwhile, her husband outside in the family van waiting for her. This chick had the nerve to invite me to her husband’s birthday party. Talking about me and him would have a lot in common. I’m not goin mess with her while I work there but when I quit I’m goin get that P.
