As a man who has already been through one divorce my opinion may be tainted by bias, but I personally think that marriage is unnecessary.

I also hold the opinion that today's youth, in the U.S. at least, are led to believe the 'Disney-esque' fairy tale that marriage is the end all to relationship issues and that saying "I do" will lead to a happy ever after with no effort on their part. Which is bullshit.

Not to mention the businesses that make bank from furthering this ridiculous notion; churches, jewelers, clothing designers, as well as the shops that solely specialize in wedding related issues (bakeries and caterers, wedding planners etc.).

Borderline conspiracy theory? Sure, but I'm sure there are others that hold the same thoughts.
