The ultimate “Cart Before the Horse”. Living together will be a joy if the other “outdated” and “religious” requirements are met.
We are where we’re at for a reason. Don’t discount religion. Embrace it. Get to know Jesus.
What's that song go? "Don't hand me no lines and keep yer hands to yerself."
If thatz their strategy then I got a deal fir them...
A young woman today has been well used, and a relationship with her is more like finding the right timing in the rotation.
Many young men take the risk that they will never know their own children.
They HOPE to marry later.
Ain't no sure thing, and marriage rates have been on a slide for quite some time.
You will have a good share of unmarried old maids and babymamas. Heck, we already do.
Mistake for women but they don’t seem to care
As I told my wife before we where married “Why would I ever live with a woman I wasn’t forced to do so by law?”
I say that is a good question for anybody.
I’m not trying to justify it, but having to pay higher taxes for a joint income that puts you into a higher bracket after marriage is certainly not an incentive to get married.
Living together or “trial marriages” are the road to divorce. Divorce hurts women and children. Chalk up another win for liberalism.
The old test drive.
Why any woman agrees to that arraingement is beyond me. Speaking as a man, as the old saying goes, “Why buy the cow when you’re getting the milk for free”
Married my high school sweetheart. He asked me to move in with him and i explained that i was raised better than that. A marriage proposal followed a few weeks later. Been married 27 years now and selective memory has set in and he swears he never suggested any such thing. I told our daughter that the deal is this: if you live with a man before you marry then pay for the wedding yourself. Nothing takes away the excitment and specialness of a wedding like knowing at the end of the day you are just going to go home to the same old house together that you left that morning.
Yeah, so much for feminism...
The guys get free milk without having to buy the cow...
Nice going, girls....
I know there is a lot of doom porn going around these days.
But, just thinking out loud here...how will all these “single” moms fare when it is up them, alone, to figure out how to survive.
That would not end well.
I hate to admit it, but my wife and I did live together for two years before we were married, but I had proposed to her very early on (before we actually moved in together), and I knew her from waaay back in elementary and high school (always had a crush on her). We had have been married sooner, but I blame her sister. Her sister wanted to be married once before my wife was married twice. So, we had to wait an extra year before she hitched the knot.
I know, I know. I still feel guilty about it, but all is good now, we’ve been married 16 years now.
If a man loves a woman he will want to marry her. It’s that simple.
