Literally what's the point of marriage if you aren't religious?In most religions, marriage is considered sacred, and it's the only way a man and a woman should live their lives togetherBut from a secular point, it makes no sense, yet westerners keep doing it, despite being mostly secular
it was the easiest way for my Chinese wife to get permanent residence here
>>542357987Makes taxes easier
>>542357987Marriage has been tied to the state and money so you get all sorts of people getting 'married' for the wrong reasons.
>>542358168Ok just get a civil union
>>542357987Marriage is eclipsed by today's society, it doesn't have a purpose, it hasn't had a purpose since women could vote, there..
>>542358266>Marriage by proximityLaws cuck you out
>>542358266I don't really know much about that shit I gotta be honest I just signed a piece of paper.
>>542357987Well secular life is for faggots and retards
>>542358306>>542358357Gay marriage is the perfect example of why the state should have no bearing on marriage. It's just corruption.
>>542358548I don't think Schlomo meant it that way, he is probably talking about the legal status of marriage, you are signing away your dignity in case of a divorce (US only experience)
>>542358773Well in that case, church forbids divorce
>>542357987>what's the point of marriage if you aren't religious?Women are stupid and want to have a big party like in movies. I got married recently, because I am religious and wasn't living with my wife before hand, and the truth is that all of the wedding "stuff" (the food, the decorations, the parties, etc.) are really for everyone else and not you.
>>542358846Which church? The buildings, temples, priests, bishops, and doctrine of man?
>>542358870Women shouldn't be wearing a white wedding dress either because most of them aren't virgins.
>>542358901There is but one true Church and she is the Bride of Christ.
>>542358901Church of God you heretical nonce
>>542358949I'm not too worried about other women, what they wear, and how they want to celebrate their weddings. But more towards your point, having a big wedding when you're already cohabitating and having sex with your spouse seems awfully pointless. There's no change in your life, and you certainly don't believe in any sacremental or spiritual aspect of marriage.
>>542359034Yes, yes which God needs a building, a temple or some person to do better than Jesus Christ His only begotten Son? Did you forget the temple veil was torn after He died?
>>542359173What is the flower girl for? Does it have to do with the bride's virgin hymen? Probably nothing. Same with the colour white, why does the Bible stress the colour white with brides? Strange nothingness I guess.

>>542359391If I'm brain damaged then you are spiritually damaged.
FYI premarital sex is legal and not unethical in Judaism.
>>542357987That's why nobody is marrying anymore.Religion is kill. Everybody is a degenerated freak now
>>542357987Marriage is a legal contract with the state. It has nothing to do with religion, but many religions have co-opted it as if it makes any difference. Get married in the church? It means nothing. Get married at the courthouse? Your legally man and wife, and she can't be compelled to testify against you in court.
