Is it even worth getting married anymore?

liking it in print relates to it being a symbol of your love for someone.

Clearly someone hasn't learned anything from this thread.

i have learned a few things. why dont you just say RJ hasnt learned anything from this thread? you are referring to me, i am assuming.

It was meant in vague sarcasm.

Of course I was referring to you.

and you accuse me of posting one liners. 😂

No, you don't understand the context in which I accused you of doing that, clearly.

Either way, this isn't relevant. I'll allow you last post.

you need to seriously relax. why so serious all the time?

I say if you're gonna get married, marry either smart or up, first, then, let everything else follow. But i heard someone say that if you marry money, you'll end up paying for it for the rest of your life. Or as long as you're with her.

define marrying either smart or up.

One of the values of our current tax system is that married couples can use tax benefits to help protect and support their families.

Same-sex couples are raising children in at least 96% of all U.S. counties while being excluded from the many tax benefits that come with marriage.

A 2000 report from Stanford University surveyed the legal and economic landscape and concluded that because same-sex couples are denied the freedom to marry, “the children living with same-sex partners are made to suffer.” These disadvantages have a disproportionately high impact on children in families of lesser means.

Children are deprived of safety and security when their parents are excluded from marriage and can not get automatic protections such as:
[list][*]Social Security survivor benefits
[*]Child support obligations
[*]Custody protections
[*]State and federal tax advantages
[*]Legal parent recognition in schools and for medical decisions
[*]Immigration status
[*]Inheritance
[*]Passport applications
[*]Visitation rights
[*]Family medical leave[/list]
. . . and much more including the intangible reassurance that comes from knowing that your family is respected and protected.

Understanding that no children should be deprived by their government of the protections and resources of the economic safety net that comes with marriage, the American Academy of Pediatrics, our nation’s kid’s doctors, have officially called for the end of excluding same-sex couples from marriage, along with numerous leading professional associations including:
[list][*]American Academy of Family Physicians' Congress of Delegates
[*]American Psychological Association
[*]American Psychoanalytic Association
[*]National Association of Social Workers
[*]American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
[*]American Medical Association
[*]Assembly of the American Psychiatric Association[/list]

Marriage are for those who like to collect papers for future law suits.

ouch!

Damn straight!

Love don't need papers. IMO <-- See bardock I said IMO..

It seems that it is not worth it.But it is if you are wiling to put aside wanting stuff that you don't need and respecting your wife or husband.It is pretty depressing that the top thing people get divorse over is money.
Money is money why must it be a issue?Seem to be a stupid thing to want to divorse someone with.JM

I see nothing wrong with a beautiful ceremony. Just don't agree with a legal document. It causes more problems when a relationship sours. If one wants something in writing then go to a lawyer and draw up an agreement.
