To untie the knot?

I stumbled across this website yesterday. It's called www.dont-marry.com

Truth being told, I'm not ready to chuck in the institution of marriage yet, and would even recommend it to others... But the points against seem to really stack up...

First, you become poor. Over time your spouse will strip you of everything you posses or will earn in the future. Prior to that you will indulge her in a huge diamond because she demands it (and it turns out they aren't actually all that rare!) and blow your dosh on a lavish ceremony that you will have no input in and will transform her into a different person.

Second, your relationship changes. The woman nags you for a child which destroys you're bank balance further and trashes her figure and attention that was placed on her husband. Sex? Forget it. She'll be at home having a holiday "raising the kids," all expenses paid by her hard working hubby.

Males are virtually slaves in a marriage.

Third, it turns out women have a convenient excuse for being unfaithful, being irresponsible, stealing the kids and being lazy.

The moral? You're going to die alone eventually so save your cash and instead enjoy the benefit's of non-marriage.

You do need to be married in order to throw an extravagant four-hour party, and share the same last name.
You do need to be married in order to involve the state and government in your romantic affairs.
You do need to be married in order give away half of everything you own.


In a bold statement, the author estimates that the percentage of happy and monogamous marriages to be under 5%.

Oh wedded bliss... Who wouldn't want it?

That website sounds like a bunch of sexist garbage to me!
"Holiday" to raise the kids: Ignorance.
Trash.
