I refuse to get married. My grandparents have been married 60 years or so and despite little hiccups here and there, their love always shines through.
I feel like in todays world, marriages are not worked on quite so hard anymore. There's always divorce, so as soon as things get difficult, there's a way to end it. I just don't want to ned to face divorce. As necessary as it is at times, it also seems emotionally draining, and maybe even a blow to the ego, even if you initiate it.
My being an atheist really doesn't figure into my opinion of marriage, though, except I imagine that I am freer than some Xians, who seem to want to persist in toxic marriages. But maybe even that is changing.
