Marriage is a throw away concept?
Is marriage a throw away concept? If so, then why do so many women seek it out? I say women because it seems most men just want a happy bed partner. Women on the other hand want the whole fantasy of huge diamond engagement ring, big wedding (with a 10K wedding dress..Say Yes to the Dress), an over priced house (House Hunters)and a couple of over priced, over pampered babies. The husband seems to be extraneous to the fantasy or he's just the one that shells out all the money to pay for the woman's absurd fantasy.
If the husband fails in any aspect of her fantasy, she uses that as an excuse to bail on him either emotionally or physically.
Therefore the modern man has very little reason to be wed. He's not being seen as a person. Just a thing for a woman to use.
Is this why there are such high divorce rates? Do people actually consider the ramifications of such a commitment? Or is marriage a throw away concept?
