Marriage


Marriage

               Marriage has been strong for several eras but has changed drastically now in in the twenty-first century. I believe marriage isn’t as alive as it was back in the old days. I believe now a days it the men not wanting to get married, reason being when getting married your wife owns everything you own and vice versa such as properties, cars, bank accounts, etc… As a man we become scared as to if she divorces me she’s getting basically fifty percent of everything I own. Now back in the old days you could just leave your wife and not go through all the massive amount of paperwork we have now a days. I personally know over a dozen couples not wanting to get married and are scared it won’t work out. That’s the reason I like the idea of Rivera’s of being able to choose how long you want to be married. That way if it does not work out you can just wait until the contract is over and leave. Another reason being if the contract is up neither one of you could take the other partner to court and demand properties, cars, or money. I see several couples not married because it’s a big agreement to agree too. You’re living, sleeping, breathing, eating the rest of your life next to that person which from a man’s point of view it’s kind of scary to think of. Everything now a day’s is done by a temporary contract. For example; phone, television service, bank loans, purchasing real estate, so why not make marriage a temporary contract you can renew if you decide you want to. When you open a phone contract with AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint you sign a two year agreement to their service. Once the two years are up you can stay with the company if you like the service or transfer over to a different company if you didn’t. If you want out of the contract and the two years aren’t up yet then you have to pay a fee to get out of it. I believe marriage should work like the phone contracts work. Renew the contract every certain years if you like the person or leave and find a new partner if you didn’t end up liking them.

  1. The idea of someone taking half of my belongings is definitely scary, but I think you should really know that person before you commit to that. and you're right that most couples are scared because their relationship is great but marriage could complicate things.
