    Most people marry the wrong person. "Most" people reach a point in their life and they think to themselves "I'm ready to get married". Instead, you should just live your life and when that right person comes along and you date that person for a few years, THEN you should start considering getting married. In those cases, the marriages usually last more than 5-6 years.

    Oh dear! I hope that a majority of American's aren't as stupid as these people. If we are--we're in BIG, BIG trouble!

    LOL. Boy, the Indians sure are funny! I have to agree with them though, woman are a pain in the a**.

    Sometimes I wonder why everybody is in such a rush to get married. Basically you life is over once you get married--or that's what a lot of married people I know tell me.

    I guess convincing people that Saddam and Al Qaeda were deeply connected wasn't that hard.

    I would like to say there is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" person to get married too. People always say that he's not this, or she's too much this, blah blah blah. Bull-crap.
    The point is marriage takes work, sad to say there is no such thing as spiritual love in a relationship. There is physical love which you get from your life partner, of course you care and love them, but "spiritual love" is something very different and can be gotten only from two places and that is your parents and children.
    I think thats what is wrong with most people in this society, they look for that spiritual love in the wrong place, and forget about what is most important and that is raising your kids and helping your parents when they get older. But many of us nowadays have forgotten this, and are only about me, me, and me.
    I mean, is there anything more selfish then divorce. You basically tell your kids that they mean nothing to you, and you care about your own well being and happiness then theirs.
    Just look at the divorce rate in the states, compare it to the so called arranged marriages. Say what you will about them, but I have not seen one married couple divorce thru arranged marriages, and i know atleast a hundred couples through arranged marriage. All of the divorces I have seen in my life are through "love" marriages. You may say that these women are oppressed, please. My father, my grandfather and my great grandfather (whom I have met), all had/have the utmost respect for their wives, and never once laid a finger on them, so dont give me the argument that these women are oppressed. Whereas even in this country spouse abuse is very high.
    Know go to the "love marriages" I have known (well-known) since I was young, it may be about 10 couples, out of that 3 ended in divorce, all had children. Who were destroyed by the seperation.
    There is no right or wrong time to get married, like I said before I have yet to meet one person who through arranged marriage got divorced. What was their secret?
    Let me get this straight, I am not advocating arranged marriage, I am simply saying that the suggestion of waiting for Mr/Mrs Right is a flawed argument. There is no soul mate/ true love/ better half. If someone is of good character that is all that matters.
    Marriage takes work and that is all there is to it, atleast from my perspective. :)

    Thats arguably the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. You have to have some form of compatibility and you obviously aren't going to always like each other especially if you're coming from opposite ends of the spectrum.
    There are plenty of "wrong" people out there to get married to.

    Tom Cruise disagrees.


    Yeah, I really wish my mom would have stayed with dad until he abused her enough to drive her to suicide instead of remarrying a man who treats her like a human being. What a selfish thing to do. But hey perhaps i'm just the b*stard product of a "failed experiment" and really shouldn't exist.


    You mentioned your dad, grandfather and greatgrandfather, but none of the women themselves, kind of would be nice to get their perspective wouldn't you think? I'm guessing wherever you hail from things are a little more "traditional" meaning the marriage ending in divorce would probably be a great family dishonor.

    Dude

    I only scratched the surface of this subject, I can write a whole book on it, but I neither have the time nor the inclination to do it right now.
    but since you are so pushy, what would you like to know from the women's perspective?

    and dont be stupid, look at the stats between the countries who have "love" marriages and those who dont, I guarantee you that US is one of the top in the world in divorce rate

    Your opinion only means so much, and it is what it is, an opinion

    see I use facts and the fact is that "arranged" marriages are much more successful then "love" marriages, nothing more to it
    I was just describing a little of what is behind these relationships

    So since the proof is that my method is more successful than yours, that means it is the correct one and has been for many generations

    Oh and if you need facts or statistics I can give them to you, but what do you have to show me?
    Besides your Oh so wise OPINION.


    MMMM......Kayyyyyyyyyyyy.

    Well I guess i'm not that qualified to say there is no right or wrong spouse, but quite apparently there is no "right" side of the bed you get up on.

    Hey you're the one that turned it into a debate,

    I was just giving my opinion, which turns out to be "the stupidest thing you've ever heard in your life"

    I just thought I'd give the reasoning behind my "stupid" idea

    Well I'd still like to hear the reasoning behind it, but I'm really only here to annoy you.

    Let's ask the guy from a thread a few weeks back who had to marry his animal partner... sure you get all the sweet donkey sex you want but when you both die, will you go to donkey heaven or vice versa...?

    But on a serious note, loneliness is one worthless emotion. You don't need a lifelong partner to grow old and fat with, you need good friends, a satisfying hobby and maybe a hooker. If you don't have friends to quell said loneliness then you probably don't have the social skills to get friends and shouldn't enter such a sacred and serious pact where social skills are paramount.

    Basically what I'm saying is if you love your donkey, set him free. If he comes back, he's yours. If not, then youre an idiot and lost your donkey property.

    Ok wiseass, which one is it? One post you say it is fact and now it is your opinion. You come into this thread spewing out horse**** opinion/facts :rolleyes: and when someone calls you out on it, then we are all the dumbasses because we don't tremble blindly at your incredible intellect and superiority. Oh wow, boomer83's daddy, granddaddy, and great granddaddy all were apart of an arranged marriage and they didn't get divorced so therefore that is the greatest idea on earth. Well guess what, most peoples great grandparents and grandparents came from "love" marraiges, as you call them, and they didn't get divorced either. That is just how it was back then. Also not everyone gets divorced because they are selfish. Sometimes it is a product of what someone else is doing. Perhaps if you were married you would understand that it takes two people for a relationship to work. You are like those idiots that try to tell people how to parent but do not have kids themselves.

    For some reason you have come into our BBS and have decided that you are going to be a prick. Every post that you have put up here recently has been nothing but garbage and its getting pretty tiring. There are plenty of good people on here and we generally get along fairly well. Perhaps you should learn to follow that example.

    You have your opinion and I have mine.

    The difference is mine is backed up by facts and so you're the one spewing garbage.

    And I've been reading this BBS for 2 years, and if I remember right you are allowed to post your opinions.


    EDIT- I was also not advocating arranged marriage,

    I was simply making a point that marriage takes work, and not the "right" person nor does it require a "soul mate"

    Both you and moestavern need to read my post again and not twist my words

    OK.

    You never presented one fact. It was all opinion.

    You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

    If you say there is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" person to get married too, then how can you say arranged marriages be any better (with facts!)? Would you agree that your culture just has a greater stigma associated with divorce?

    And maybe a culture where you don't decide for yourself who you marry would also be one where you don't decide who you divorce.

    Trust me, there are many people I would not want to marry. Would you really want to marry just any woman?

    And of course your grandpa was pleased with arranged marriages. He got two donkeys out the deal.

    I think it's funny you guys talk about dumb Americans when American children have consistently outscored their Euro and Asian counterparts on history and geography tests. Yes we score lower on math and science but that's because we educate children in a vast majority of subjects.

    Besides, most children aren't going to enter a field where math and science is required.

    Adeel - when was the last time you NEEDED to know what 16 x 15 was?

    I memorized my tables up to 12 in grade school and haven't really needed them since 11th grade.

    You dumb****

    I said I wasnt advocating arranged marriage, just making a point that there is no such thing as Mr. or Mrs. Right

    Seriously you're comprehension skills are appalling, learn to read something, analyse it and then make a THOUGHT OUT AND SENSIBLE response
