Isn’t adding more debt so people can get by just kind of a bandaid? Is this cycle destined to continue unless we make real change?
This aproach sounds cyclical to me. It seems we just keep pumping up the economy with created money and cause inflation which will lead to another recession down the road. You can’t keep creating money and expect it to continue to hold value.

I’m a non-religious guy (atheist), I live with my girlfriend and we share a kid of 8 years old. I’ve told my girlfriend from more or less the start of our relationship that I wasn’t interested in getting married, ever!!
Although she was gutted, because it was something she dreamed of since she was little, I said that I would happily spend the rest of my life with her, I just don’t want to get into marriage.
Marriage to me, being a un-necessary man made concept/invention of religion or law to tie couples together, that I couldn’t be bothered with the whole shenanigans. From my perspective, though many are genuine, other people seem do it to keep up with the face of society. Girls wear it as badge, a dream since they were no age who want to get hitched to their prince charming, being brought up on fairy tale noncense, and guys do it because… err, I dunno why cos none of my m8’s ambitions in life was to grow up to get married, maybe males just wanna own a woman and nail her down and sex can be on supply and demand, people have their own reasons.
I understand marriage is meant to be a way of proving your commitment to someone you love, but… taking out a bank loan isn’t a way of proving you’re going to pay the money back. The only way you can prove you’ll pay the money back is by actually doing it untill you’re out of debt. In this fashion the only way you can prove you will spend the rest of your life will someone is by actually doing it, with either one of you making it to your death bed, and hence finalising the deal. So how does marriage prove commitment? it doesn’t prove anything.
At the end of the day what is marriage? a piece of paper? an invisible crutch that a relationship needs support from? a load of bull?
People get themselves into debt (sometimes to the extreme) over this thing, wasting money which could be put to better use, this invisible force which you can’t touch, you can’t feel, you pay for it but you can’t possess, so why is it drummed into the human conscious that we need it? Even Atheists participate in it, amongst all other religions.
So as the title asks, is marriage necessary for two people in a relationship who intend to spend the rest of their lives together?
My girlfiend and I have survived 10 years so far, we’re happy and still going strong.
I welcome christian respsonses but it’s predictable their outcome, it’s a ritual as it is with baptism. I’m hoping the atheists will put me to light on this subject which has always puzzled me.
@JM Gutted in the term meaning, maybe disheartened.
I like your style Cheryl E, stick it to the man.
@Doug – if my girlfriend could find a better offer that would defeat the purpose of marrying in the 1st place, obviously you are the one who is clueless
@Logic that’s what wills are invented for

I have a learning disability in math & that has limited my choices greatly. I also just graduated high school & REALLY want to go back to school. I’m thinking something in animal care as they are my passion. The problem-Like many others cannot find a job. My parents really can’t afford to send me as we have a big family.
I’m trying my best to stay out of debt..so I don’t know what choices I have? do you have any ideas? honestly-I’d be happy with a tech school or college..it doesn’t matter to me.
Thanks

I have a full-time job, i live at home with mom and still can’t get out of debt. I don’t spend money foolishly, except for going out to the bars. So obviously I know you’ll say to stop doing that. But I would like some input on how else I can slash my debt.

I had a rough time a few years ago, and stopped paying my credit cards and cell phone to be able to keep paying the rent and then i lost my job, it was all sent to debt collectors. I’m ready to get this taken care of so I can rebuild my credit somehow, but I don’t know which companies hold the debts. How do I find out? I haven’t heard from any of them in almost a year.
