70% of divorces are initiated by women.

I thought it was higher than that, but you are probably right.

So, what do you do for sex?

Isn’t that a bit too personal? I certainly wouldn’t volunteer that information, to ANYONE.

Your advice is unbiblical

Married 32 years here. I have found one secret to a long and happy marital life: communication!

Whenever my dear wife and I have a difference of opinion as to a course of action, we take time to carefully enunciate our respective positions and the merits of our viewpoints. Then - and ONLY then - we conclude by doing what she wants.

When people cant win an argument they go after the speaker personally.

Shes wanting me to voluntarily give info that she can attempt to se against me.

Most women argue this way, because they can’t argue against facts or truths when they are on the opposite side of them. Instead they go attempt,tofind fault with the speaker.

The question wasn't asked as a standalone question. SAM has for years been advocating never getting married, and has obvious anger toward women and the justice system. He advises young men to never get married.

In THAT situation, it is a fair question. No one's asking for specifics. It can be as general as "one night stands, friends with benefits, etc." You personally don't have to volunteer your information to anyone, but don't misrepresent the above situation as if the question were asked as a stand-alone question.

SAM, give it a rest dude. We get it -- you think the legal system is unfair and you think most (or is it all) women are out to take advantage of men.

The big issue is that it's not a biblical position. So your position is big BS by definition.

I asked a woman...one who had suffered at the hands of unfaithful men...why it was not a good idea for a man and a woman to live together and not get married, and, why they did not stay married once they did decide to get married. Here is her response:

A woman who lives with a man without marrying him will come to realize she has a huge problem. She one day realizes he broke the rules by sleeping with her immorally and from then on believes he will break the rules again with another woman. That trust can never be regained.

“Your advice is unbiblical”

So are all the marriage laws in the US.

You come here and bring up “biblical” marriage and then start swearing at a person with a different viewpoint.

Not very biblical on your part. That casts significant doubt on your position. Appears rather hypocritical.

I believe it was. If you disagree, so be it. We will just have to agree to disagree. I am ok with that.

It seems to me to be a valid question, naturally invited by a man who advertises his hatred of marriage and women on the internet.

I’m just wondering what his ‘solution’ is to the state of marriage which he seems to reject soundly.

Has he become a monk?

I think you are right bro. I am not into this live in thing. I think it prepares people for divorce, more than it prepares them for marriage.

Women initiate 80% of all divorces. A young man today would be a fool to marry with the laws and family courts stacked against him. No fault divorce is evil.

So, what does the young man do, instead of marriage?

How is it a standalone question? It wasn't asked randomly from some stranger. They are in a discussion about relationships, and SAM is advocating a position against marriage. So it's fair to ask what he does (or recommends) about an aspect that is integral about the relationship.

If you want to agree that you misrepresented the original question, then I'm okay with that.
