To marry or not to marry.
After responding to some posts in the "bad boys" thread, I began thinking long and hard about some things.
For decades people have bemoaned people getting married "too young" and before they were emotionally and financially stable. I did the opposite. I waited until I was financially stable to even really begin looking for a wife. Unfortunately, most people are weak and cant control their urges.
There also seems to be this idiotic belief that just because you have asked God for forgiveness, all your past actions are magically wiped away and that someone who has lived a morally bankrupt life, but who has repented, is just as "good" as someone who has followed the Word of God and kept themselves "pure". Sorry, but Im one of the few people who actually believes in justice. A guy who robs and murders someone may eventually repent and ask forgiveness from God, but that isn't going to keep his rear end out of prison. God may forgive him, but he still did wrong and nothing is going to change that.
Lets face facts, financially speaking, marriage is a poor choice for men. When half of marriages end in divorce, what man in his right mind is going to willingly choose to lose half of everything he has worked for? As they say, marriage is a crapshoot. Not only that, but should she choose to never remarry, you are basically an alimony slave for the rest of your life. Is it any wonder that more and more men are choosing to never marry, or not to remarry? This is known as MGTOW or Men Going Their Own Way.
