I don't believe in marriage

It used to be just putting both parties names in the family bible. Money and control screwed that up quick.

Well, it's more than about the bible.....

This enactment of marriage has guided this world to be in the state that it's in..... uniting nation with nation, causing wars between nations......


ugh

Marriage is just wrong. Relationships in a natural flow is what is meant to be.

did you just get a divorce?

wow. i bet you grew up with both parents huh?
tell this nonsense to every kid that has to share a home with a stranger or even worse with 1 parent who keeps switching partners.

nope

it's not an institution, it's not a contract
that's feminazi rhetoric

marriage is a sacred covenant and commitment
between a man and his wife
for life

for this cause
a man shall leave his father and mother
and cleave (be joined) to his wife
and the two shall become one flesh

one flesh in the sacred union
one flesh in the combined DNA expressed in procreation

nothing in there about gov. or religion

every child needs a mother and a father
present in the home

Exactly!

It's the reason that marriage is referred to as the 'ol ball and chain'.

In many instances, however, the male (it can be the woman as well, don't get me wrong, though in my case, it has been the men) exerts his control over the spouse resulting many times to the woman suffering abuse.

My parents "stayed together for the kid." They hated each other, screamed every day at one another then took turns taking their anger out on me. They not only abused me but they told me that I was the only reason they were still stuck with the other.

A strong family is essential.

That's the problem. Sex should never be enacted under expectations.

I grew up with both parents who didn't know how to love. They each picked out their favorites, and I wasn't one. My mother had sex with my father only with intent to have babies.. she never gave sex any other time.

families can be had without the "contract" of marriage.

yep. It's a seriously messed up system.

really? you quote a script and say there's nothing about religious gov?

A child can have a mother and father with a governmental contract between the two.

God can end contracts. What is more a family can still
remain together intact.

where in the text does it say government or religious groups are to control marriage?

it doesn't say anything about it at all


and no

a gov. contract is not a legit loving union
and kids raised by "robot" parents who are just in it for the contract
are fuck up mentally and emotionally for life

I hope the OP, who "doesn't believe in marriage" also doesn't believe in procreating and bringing innocent children into the world.


That's not fair to the child. EVERY child conceived and born deserves to be cared for, nurtured and LOVED. It's not their fault the "plumbing was intact" on two other adult individuals.

yes

the contract, legal institution has NOTHING to do with bringing a child into the world, raising it, and loving it.

This can be done without a "legal contract."

that's exactly the design for marriage
in the text I posted

a marriage license is not an indicator of a legit loving union

what I am saying is that the institution of marriage is a "legal contract" .... recognized by government and nation and is a form of encapsulating and enforcting rules and laws on YOU. Marriage has nothing to do with relationships, bearing or raising children.

It's a governmental system.

I misunderstood...... sorry

marriage existed long before any form of government and or "religions"

it's not a governmental system

saying that it is a governmental system,
is feminazi rhetoric


marriage is a covenant commitment between a man and his wife

it's not a contract

a contract is for business, not intimate relationships

marriage, as we have it today, is most definitely a governmental contract. Its the only way to conduct "business" between a man and wife. Banking, taxes, property...... all is tied to the government. A License must be obtained by the state in order to conduct such business.

It has nothing to do with a commitment between a man and woman.

How successful do you see this legal commitment to each other to be? statistically?

Where does God ever say that 'sex is for human pleasure'?

He doesn't.


Any claim that it IS - just pagan studpidity.

There's been problems since the time of Moses.

Why do you suppose God gave 'rules'?
