50% - 60% of marriages end in Divorce..
The median length of a marriage is 7 years..
Nearly 70% of divorces are iniated by..WOMEN
So if I met an attractive woman..Marry her and have kids with her. There is a 50-60% chance I will lose half of everything I earned in 7 years..
I dont like those odds..
Being in a household with parents who will have their 30th anniversary this year I really do think marriage is worth it. I just think people these days are too quick to jump into marriage, for one, and for two aren't willing to make marriages work. Just because you have disagreements doesn't mean you should get a divorce. Too often people think marriage should be perfect and it should always feel like you're in heaven but that's not how it is going to be all the time and people should be able to face that reality.
And to think that someplace actually said love lasts for only 0-5 years is really sad, and it's hard for me to accept that there is any truth in that statement. I believe my parents have been in love all 30 years of their marriage even when they get on each others nerves.
When u get in tha car everyday, u risk getting into a car accident
When u sleep with someone, u risk getting an STD, pregnancy, or whatever else
there are just SOOO many other risks in life...and yet u still live ur life, taking chances, right? Maybe someday when u fall in love and find that u can't live the rest of ur life without her, u will decide that it is worth the risk. Thaz up to u...

maybe if you read the Bible and followed God's plan for courting, those odds would look alot better 8-) (evy)
Yeah its worth it ... YOu only live once and everyone makes mistakes in life ... but I wouldnt rush into marriage or base it on material posessions because stuff like that will not allow you to live a fulfillng life with your partner ... Personally I think marriage it beautiful but I know I am not going to get married until God says its my time to do so but I am excited to think that my Future Husband is out there somewhere ... and I am keeping my V-card for him :-) I just hope he is a sweet.considerate.caring guy
the reason why most marriages are f-ed up is because trhe courtings all wrong from the get go...
yeah i met my wife in a club...
smh what is this? yall should pick up one of those christain books on relationships...
it even works for athiest :grin: 8-) (evy)
^^^^ damn somebody speaks tha truth FINALLY!
I have had too many guys (and girls) ask me why I'm still a virgin...cause thaz tha way God intended for it to be. Just imagine, the surprise on my future husband's face when he finds out that he's gonna be the first and the ONLY...that makes the connection between us that much stronger! So yeah, as long as u get married for the right reasons, marriage is DEFINITELY worth it!
.....I don't think anyone on this board can say "it's worth it" except Will Moss
it looks worth it....but you will lose a lot of personal time...when you have kids...your life is offically locked except for like 20%
First ask yourself these questions
1. Do you have your degree? or a steady job?
2. Can you fill her needs and provide for her?
3. Have mistaken love for lust?
4. Do you honestly believe you are mature enough for it?
5. Are you ready?....No more poking other women ya know...thats how a lot of marriages end....
6. Would you give your life for this woman?
7. Can you see her bearing and carrying on your family genes?
^....Man, looks challenging...can't wait :lol:
