What’s the purpose or point of a marriage?

Grand parents were married and were together for over 50 years. My cousin got married back in 2005 and they are still together to this day. They have had their conflicts but still remain together and worked things through successfully. Parents were married over 40 years.

I think its a natural part of the human process to find someone you can share your life with.

Do you feel that your parents separation made you alittle cautious about setting down ?

My brother and one sister are both happily married to people. My sister found her husband in the UK and he moved to Canada.

My dad’s parents were married for 60 years almost until my grandma died.

Yes. I had some programming going on I wasn’t fully aware of until I started doing the work.

When I left my ex in 2020 I realized a lot.

I was worried he would do to me or I would do to him what my parents did with each other. I projected a lot of fear and anxiousness onto him.

Well the important thing to take away from this is your very self aware of why you reacted in a certain way.

I have a friend from my job who said the only way she’ll ever marry is if lands or titles are involved :joy:

She’s living with her LTR guy. No marriage on the horizon.

If you cannot find yourself a good woman to settle down and have a family with. The issue is you not the world around you.

I have a wife and 3 kids.

My reply was in response to your post that the west is not in decline, and the inference you made that I believe the west is in decline due to a YouTube video I watched?

I’m not sure we’re understanding each other, so I’ll leave it at that.

After re-reading your post, I’d like to first apologize for any misunderstanding of your points earlier. I agree that there has been a noticeable decline in family unity especially over the past 2 decades. Fortunately, in my current environment, I haven’t observed this trend

But yes this has been more specically with western europe. In the balkans i see women marryimg young, having large families etc.

All good bro, I thought you were having a dig at me but I misinterpreted your messages intent. My original comment was only my opinion, and you know what they say about those :joy:

This is true to some degree but you can’t discount the fact that good virtuous women who are qualified to be wives and nurturing mothers to your children are harder to find these days. The norms are just different, especially in the West. That’s why a lot of men are flying overseas in the hopes of finding a more traditional family-oriented woman who will hopefully remain loyal and devoted for a lifetime, as marriages should be. Of course, the man has to be a catch as well, smart, capable, provide, protect, and not suddenly go get milk and disappear.
