Your advice about trusting the manager was good, but that was something we decided was correct about a week ago.

I don't think marriage is that big of a commitment; people divorce all the time. I don't think a huge party changes their relationship much. It's getting children that is the next level.

I always feel stupid discussing things as these in pub tho, because you are all 40+ with several marriages behind you

Most sensible post about marriage.

Also marrying your best friend is key too I think

And I said it a week ago as well. But more importantly, nobody was reminding him of that today, which he needed.

If people actually took it as the commitment that it is, there would be a lot less divorce.

This would be both because fewer people would get married to the wrong person and because those that actually did get married would work harder to stay married.

Marriage isn't easy. Anyone who goes into it thinking it's going to be an easy road is going to look to get divorced as soon as things get rocky, and that's a big problem.

I do not remember anyone I know being divorced.

Even though me and dean agree on stuff, most of my friends at this point are more of the stable types like swiitch. My cousin back home who I spend the most time with has been married for 5+ years and with his wife for almost 20.

I can't stand spending more than a couple of hours with my single friends. I need to get away from them quickly, whereas I can hang out all night and for days with married guys. It's a reflection of my age though.

Also my married friends don't care when I take off to chase pussy because they have their own commitments, so it works greatly. Whereas my single friends want me to stay out all night with them and I end up ditching them everytime I'm out with them.

I agree entirely with this.

I think rather people have naive image of marriage; one monogamous relationship until death is a social construct. I mean, it's great if it works out that way, congrats - but I don't think that should be the expectation. I wish the marriage wow was along the lines "I love you and you me, lets have a great time until that changes."

People always post that pic of an old couple where they are asked how they are still married after x years. And they say "We grew up in a time where you wouldn't throw away something broken, but fix it". Yeah, but thats because you were dirt ****ing poor! We're not, so when something is broken we can buy a new, better product instead of using our old ****ty one we don't really want.

I don't see why a marriage would be any less "a tough road" than an unmarried relationship.

Meh, it's not about social status. It's about values.

I am sure there is some kind of statistic where he sweep the divorces stats, like we are doing with suicides, drinking, having AIDS and some other stuff.
