Is Marriage an Outdated concept?

[Rhyfelwyr]

Yeah. I don't understand why these career focused psycho-women go on TV complaining about people giving birth in their late teens/early twenties, when it is a completely healthy time to have a child. Doing it to live off benefits is bad but they are not all like that. It ties in with what I'm saying in the education thread, for some reason now everyone has to have a career and put their children second.

And then these same women go on to have children at 45 when there is a much greater risk of complications with the pregnancy, not to mention the fact that they will quite likely be dead/incapacitated before they are grandparents. It's not even fair to their families. Doing the best for the child my ass, they just want to do their own thing in life.

My granny was married at 19 to my grandfather and then went on to have 7 kids and that would have been seen as a medium sized family.

The career focused psycho-women are a joke compared to her life.

Yep, those psycho-women are really just a product of their times. It's like with drug addicts, its the way they were raised. In the case of the psycho-women we're told to think it is good and liberating, but is it really?

heh, my Grandmother on my mothers side of the family had 10 sisters and 1 brother (living in Belfast at the time).

There should be no state intervention in marriage. No tax breaks for married couples, and all that other nonsense either.

It should be about love and relationships, between two people. If they want to have a service or a commitment, they can go ahead. If they are homosexual and the church they are marrying in allows homosexual marriage, they can go in. "Marriage" is up to the people involved.

between two people

Why limit it to two?

If three people want to live together in a relationship, shouldn't they?

[Beskar]

Typical example is two. As there is no legal involvement, there could be more as bigamy would not be a crime. However, there would not be happy church folk if you disregard their practices and did a christian wedding.
