I watch the videos and I have to disagree with them. They look at the worst case scenario lol.

Set your expectations upfront. If the woman agrees there will be no problems later. If she doesn't she will walk. This also holds true in the other direction. Once both you set what you want it will work no matter how many arguments.


It isn't some bathesda game where you need to be careful or a glitch will fuck you up.

It wasn't on my to-do list. Here in The Netherlands it is also unnecessary to marry when there's other contracts that are basically the same in everything but without the ceremony.

Yeah, I don't see much reason to marry. Also the divorce ratio in younger generations (subjective sight, didn't look up statistics) seems way too high to convince me that this old ritual is still up-to-date with society.
I won't think less of any person that does so though, to each his own and hopefully it will last a lifetime (which it's supposed to).
A friend who has been together with his girlfriend for over 10 years married her now, I don't see a problem with it, 10 years is a long time to get to know each other and test out if things will work out.

I'm happily married, married when I reached 30, after living together for 2 years. I didn't believe in marriage before either, yet why not. I never saw it as obligations and rights, wasn't planning on leaving her. I moved to the other side of the world to be with her, much larger commitment in my mind than signing some piece of paper.

We didn't have an expensive wedding either, backyard wedding with family and few friends. We agreed putting money into a house was more important than some extravagant wedding. Once you meet the right person you don't have any of those doubts. I took my time though.

First video made decent points.

Second video was stupid ramblings.

Even if you don't get officially married, "de facto" laws in many places, such as here in Australia, mean that just living with your partner in a shared domestic setting can mean legal entanglements in terms of money, property, etc if the relationship fails.

If I recall correctly, living together with your partner for two years or more means you're effectively married in the eyes of the law.

I think any guy who marries me will be happier I think.

Unlike most women I wont think it odd he likes to watch Star Wars or play video games as I likely be playing with him 

I want to married a woman because i want to take responsibility.

Good, you'll make someone very happy. Just make sure it's someone who makes you just as happy. :)

Since unplaned pregnancies are the main contributors to the population, I say you have no argument.
