I was watching a talk show the other day called Forgive or Forget, hosted by a big black woman they call Mother Love. The show topic was Marry Me or I'm Leaving You. I love to watch the deconstruction of our society, so I was compelled to watch. Now the premise of the show was this: these women believe that they can no longer continue in a relationship with a man that they are supposedly in love with if they are not married to them. I find this fascinating. When did marriage become the focal point of our existence? Why is there such a feeling of impending doom if you aren't married? The urge to procreate is a strong one, which is why we continue to exist on the planet. But when did the mindset of being married become such a fixation? Let's break it down. Being married is two people promising to stay together forever. In modern society it is also a legally binding union of two people into one. I don't understand where the absolute need is in there. To me it sounds like two people agreeing that they cannot exist without each other, so they consent to being unified legally for the tax benefits. There should not be an ultimatum. That does not sound like two people agreeing that they cannot live without each other. That sounds like an act of desperation to me. Perhaps this explains why our fucking divorce rate is so goddamn high! People no longer marry for love. They marry because they enjoy fucking each other, and the women think there should be some larger payoff for putting out. There is only one: kids. If you expect something more, don't fuck. There is nothing more than that. There is no fuck bonus program, where if you fuck a man 500 times, he owes you an engagement ring. Grow up and take a little responsibility. Know the consequences of your actions. Don't marry for fear of being alone. Marry out of love. Not everyone on earth has to get married. It is not some end all solution to your problems. If you know that you should be married, you shouldn't have to go on a talk show and give someone an ultimatum. You'll have it figured out a long time before that.
