That's very true,in fact my cousin and her boyfriend have both had bad marriages,she has been married once and he has had 2 bad marriages,they will not be getting married ever because of their bad marriages,and my cousin doesn't want his money and he doesn't want her money so they won't be having a join bank account either.
Ok!
Do people marry to share their money or their whole life? (that reminds me of that 10% ppl is unwilling to give their church)
If they´ve planned to get a family (kids) they need MONEY to buy a house or rent a shelter (I remember your cousin needed a roof for somedays, Tonya) but, according to ethics, they both should provide for their NEEDS (food, housing, clothing and everything connected to real love: Not what it fits to our selfishness and particular convenience).
Let´s say I fear to fall short, like any mouse of church, who lacks its own roof and daily food so, if I´m unable to provide for my OWN needs, am I marrying someone who would PROVIDE the things I lack? (1) or will I be married when X person proves me she has (ha$) all I needed?
Marriage is something bigger than my fears or needs!
If I knew the times I was going wrong... But I missed the marriage bus! I wasn´t on time at its bus stop.
Butterfly!
Will you give me a lift? (Ha! Ha!)

I think I need to be very clear and state emphatically that I SUPPORT absolute monogamy within the institution of marriage as wholly scriptural and exactly what scripture teaches is God's design for humanity.
But, the government's present standard legal contract used for marriage has been completely subverted and deeply marred over decades by voters who, knowingly and unknowingly, aligned with antichristian political bodies to materially alter it to the extent that it now represents an enormous liability to males whom are logically responding by rejecting it.
Yet society won't reform what they did. So, the question can be asked; what scripturally condoned alternative(s) exist, if any?
Now Secular Hermit's continuing assertion that people can simply shack up and fornicate (changing partners as they go [serial fornication]) is false. That is fornication and is condemned in the bible. It is not marriage and there is zero scriptural support for the practice.
But that does not mean that one or more scriptural alternatives may not exist to the present standard government legal contract.

Hmmm!

Can I bet that if I slept with the same woman, a long period of time... Am I surely engaged as if I were married?
In Venezuela (and Colombia) that free relationship has LEGAL rights that the gov (and the neighborhood as society) has conventionally acknowledged.

Out of curiosity does any one know who invented marriage, how this came about,
who and which culture set out the need for people to state their intentions in
public.
Just wondered as there seems to be many different cultural ideas.
For us it is a legally binding transaction which can take place in a church or
a registry office. But for other cultures they have different ways. What
seems to be common though is a public demonstration of intentions for a
man and a woman to come together in marriage.

Just a little sweet story for you.
In my church years ago was an elderly lady almost 70. She was single all her life
and never married. Then out of the blue a child hood sweet heart who she lost contact
with during the war, managed to get in touch with her through a mutual old friend.
Ah it was love at first sight all over again and he was a Christian! Neither of them had
been Christians when they first met during the war and neither of them had ever married!
It almost seemed as if God had kept them both for each other and they found each other
in their old age.
To cut a long story short they got married and both lived in a rosy glow of happiness together.
I remember seeing her just a week befriend they married, she was so transformed and happy
almost like a teenager again.

My siblings have all been married. One marriage ruined a career; another marriage ended in divorce and a severe bout with alcoholism; another marriage is filled with animosity, and the other marriage endured an extra-marital affair but remained intact. I was best man in two other marriages, both ending in divorce due to extra marital affairs.
Run, Forrest! Run!
Run, Forrest! Run!

I have sometimes come across this with other people from my work. More so on the young side. They think that it is just a piece of paper.! If they want out of the relationship its just easy for them to go. They dont know the true Knowledge. Or they are truly afraid from what they have seen other people go thru and their hope and expectations are down and do not want to be disappointed .
