Women love getting married. Who invented marriage anyway? And why..
To quote Doug Stanhope:
"If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it? Would you lay next to your loved one and say 'Damn, baby, our love is so pure and so real that we need to make this legal. We need the government and lawyers and shit.'? No.".

😂I guess the point is, for all those who want to remain eternally single, there isn't a whole lot out there when you get into your forties and beyond, and you will certainly have less to offer.

That's assuming that marriage is an institution that was based at all on love.

There are many reasons to get married, but if love isn't at least a major part of that reasoning 'you'd' be best not to get married. Extremes withstadning, e.g. marrying to give someone your citizenship.
unfortunately, people get married sometimes for all the wrong reasons. if you watch clerks 2, dante was getting married to that **** because he thought it was what was expected of him, to make his life better. i actually know a guy who did this, and it lasted like three months. if you and your mate are truly in love, and want to get marrried, more power to you. if you arent ready, you stay together and wait for both parties to be ready. you cannot rush it or force it, or it will end in disaster.

Well, if you consider in the rituals and motions of most marriage ceremonies, it would stand that "love" had something to do with it. Now, if you're getting married for others reasons, be it wealth, forced into, comfort etc., I am not sure how that takes away from the original intention of marriage.

I like that Vash sig ya got cause I think he's sick with it so not to be an a$$ and to quote Jimmy Van Heusen.
"Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage."
In other words, how does your quote, that i didn't get, because of the semi-irrelevancy of it, answer my question.
?

You're asking me how it answers your question while, at the same time, telling me you don't get it and then having the nerve to say it was irrelevant?
It means no, it's not worth getting married. There's no logical point. Just because people want to, and feel they can justify using the ceremony that is marriage, doesn't mean there is any logical reason to do so.
Either way, it has nothing to do with love.
