Posted by ScufflesSorry if my strong Midwestern Christian values offend you. I don't know anything about "shacking up" with a woman or not marrying a woman with whom I am in love. LOLPosted by communicatorI do value marriage.Posted by ScufflesPerhaps you come from a socioeconomic class that does not value marriage, you are entitled to your thoughts. But understand this....when a real man loves you, he will marry you. Period! If you don't value marriage, great.. you will be the perfect side chick.Posted by communicatorMonogamy is meaningful.
I am in awe at the naivety of my female friends. Boyfriend does not mean exclusive monogamous relationship that's called marriage! A verbal understanding is only to make you feel better about having sex with a single man. The federal government refers to an unmarried man as single. Therefore a single man is under no obligation to you. However Men will tell you what you want to hear if that means we get sex.
The wife gets the commitment, not the girlfriend! Girlfriend does not have the same ranking as a wife. When an unmarried woman says the unmarried guy is "cheating" that is ridiculous. Expect an unmarried single man to have other women.
Until you are his wife he is under no obligation to be faithful. And until you are the wife I suggest you don't offer monogamy. Tell him you will stop seeing other men when you are married, until then, like him, you are single. That's the quickest way to be the wife. Women commit to us after a couple of months of pretty words and dinners. If you are already monogamous with us, what will be the reason to marry you?????
"Loyalty.” “Trust.” “Fidelity.” “Honor.” “Respect.”
These are all just words until your actions either give them power and importance or deflate them. Monogamy isn’t meaningful because the "church or government says so" and it isn’t meaningful because you wore a pouffy white dress/crisp tux and said you wanted it to be meaningful (i.e. marriage). Rather, monogamy’s meaning expands with each day that you and your partner commit to it. And that’s some pretty powerful stuff.
What I am trying to imply on my post was that monogamy is not exclusive only in marriage. Monogamy is important in pre-married relationships (bf/gf) or even non-married relationships too since whatever values are built during that stage of relationship (pre-married dating) will be the foundation of how your married life will turn out to be. Let's say I'm in a relationship with someone who cheats on me, would I rather marry that person so he'll stop cheating on me?
Absoulutely Not.
Cuz what are the chances that he'll cheat again when we get married? Besides the fact that he already betrayed my trust when we were still dating.
Marriage, on the other hand, only reinforces the vows and/or promises made by both parties to stay true to one another when a couple was still dating and not yet married.
Your flawed logic about not expecting monogamy in committed (non-married or pre-married) relationships is appalling.click to expand

Posted by Undine"Marriage is for the Rich" - New York Times
The subject of this thread is irrelevant for a woman like me (high earner,high sex drive and disregard for conventional, boring life)
I think most of you forgot what is the most important thing in a relationship.It is the attention, love and quality time your partner is spending with you.
Most of you in your 20-30ies are the side pieces anyway. His career, job, boss, competitors, clients and co-workers come BEFORE you. They represent what he will be doing and thinking about 80% of his time. The remaining 10% is spend with his (and hopefully your) children.
If he also spends 0.1% of his spare time to put his well protected dick into another cunt, and makes sure you are not going to find out, what difference does it make to your life? Absolutely nothing! Yet for some bizarre reason (probably increasing insecurity due to fading looks/misjudged career/increasing waistline) everyone seems to be obsessed about the 0.1% . Not seeing the forrest because of the trees comes to my mind.
Marriage is an insurance policy for low income females and the only way they will earn a decent income....mostly after the divorce.

The rich are different from you and me: they’re more likely to get married.
A new report, by Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney of the Hamilton Project, looked at the decline in marriage rates over the last 50 years and found a strong connection to income. Dwindling marriage rates are concentrated among the poor — the very people whose living standards would be most improved by having a second household income.
The trend is especially pronounced among men.
For the bottom 70 percent of middle-aged working women — the women who, a generation earlier, would have needed a husband to support them — marriage rates declined by more than 15 percentage points in the last 40 years. But marriage rates for the top 10 percent of female earners either held steady or rose.
It’s not clear why marriage rates for the top-earning women rose. Perhaps the highest-paid female workers in the 1970s achieved that status by forgoing a personal life. And perhaps today it’s more socially acceptable for well-paid women to hire nannies and other household help so that they can maintain a family life, making marriage a more practical possibility.
Whatever the case, the concentration of marriage among the richest Americans is amplifying the increase in income inequality.
