Thank you, people pretending like they are in true love with each other instead of the many other reasons why they get married is why devorce is so high. If people would just accept that not everyone wants to be married for the same reason then people would do better.

True love is the greater thing in the world, except for a nice mutton lettuce and tomato, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. I love it.

No, simply because I'm not interested.

I had one two-week relationship in my life and I wasn't even sexually mature then, it was basically just a bit of a close friendship.

If you expect oppressed peoples to not fight back when they've run out of peaceful alternatives or peaceful alternatives lead to inevitable failure, you are foolish. Even the American Civil Rights movement had a militia backing and resorted to extremely questionable actions to reach the goal of equal rights.

To be honest the Bene Tleilax from Dune looks like the way to go for future population control, space exploration and colonisation. So I'm pretty sure marriage and relationships, which I believe have historically failed, are going to fizzle out anyway.

So it's just best to avoid women where possible.

He would need to live a lie for about 20 years, from the relationship starting to the kids leaving home. Most people can't maintain a lie for a year or so without cracks appearing in the façade, never mind 20. The wife would find out, and she would take the kids and leave. There goes the setup that Keshiland has in mind, gone in an instant.


No one is going to rip their kids away from their other parent over thinking that they married because they loved their spouse and finding out that they married to have a good stable upbringing for their kids. The courts would reward custody to the other parent super fast. They might be hurt yes? but they will not do what you just said. I will not tell her I love you so much and want to live for eternity with you. I will ask if she wants kids and have kids with her. If she thinks differently about how much love there is that on her.

You change a lot in a decade, so I might get married someday. For now though, I simply lack any interest in it.

If your wife finds out that you only married her to have kids, you never loved her at all, and then plan on divorcing her after she is finished being useful to you, you can bet your arse that she will beat you to the punch and apply for divorce first. The courts would NOT give you the children, you are seriously deluded if you think so.

I don't really care about it. If someone wants to marry, go ahead. If someone doesn't, sure, your choice.
If I want it in the future, sure. But I don't plan marriage anytime soon.

That would show terrible parenting skills which the courts take into account. If you tell the courts you divorced because you found out your reason for marriage love and his reason for marriage kids does not match up then you will never keep the kids. Saying that you are divorcing cause he loves the kids more than me does not help your case. Why would they give someone who is divorcing because they want to be loved more than the kids, custody ?
