Seriously people, what are you trying to get from marriage?

If you say Kids,

Listen.. Up to this moment, there are more than 7 billion of people on earth. And trust me, at least thousands of kids amongst them are not aware of their own biological parent. Not that I am forbiding anyone to have a children of their own, but hey, if you’re going through marriage just to preserve your legacy upon this earth, why not make other useful things. Like a longlasting battery that could hold its power preservation up to a month? Or a food that could duplicate itself?

As one of my friend’s favourite quote, ” There are thousands of children dies of starvation every month..” And you’re still planning to have more? Besides, you actually COULD have a children without having a marriage. Although some laws and tradition would absolutely go against it. But marriage doesn’t actually produce kids. Sex does.

If you say Sex,

Oh, Come on! There might be a lot of challenging, weird, kinky, or any kinds of Sex out there, but I don’t think Marriage is the perfect place to get it all. Actually it’s quite the opposite. Most of my friends, who are married, says that sex only exciting for the first 1-2 years. And then it only goes one way from there. Down, all the way to the bottom. I’m still wondering about how would you live when you are forced to enjoy just one pussy, or one dick for the rest of your life.

Again, if all you need is Sex and you are going through a 150 million Rupiahs wedding to do it “legally”. Just let me know, and I’ll tell you there are many many cheaper ways to get one.

But then again, many people will also say, “I’m not married for sex. I am seeking a quality time, and a partner to spend it with..”

If you say Quality Time,

For your whole life, you have been raised to be someone. Not some two, or some three. So if your happiness or so-called ‘quality time’ depends on someone else, that someone must’ve been the one you really trust. Right? Now you have family, and friends. Of course they might not be there for you in 24 hours. But so does your spouse.

In friendship, you have no limit whatsoever to how many people you’d wanna consider as friend. But people, you can only have one spouse. What are the odd that this ‘one’ person can cover up 7 billion of other quality times you might get? For guys, are you sure you’d wanna talk about everything business-related, hobby-related, including that hot chick from your workplace with your only one girl? For girl, are you sure your man would listen up to you while doing facial, or body hair removal in your favourite hairdresser?

We tend to spend the quality time with those we want. And marriage is gonna change that. So trust me, next time the “Can I come?” question came out of your spouse’s mouth when you’re about to have an all-boys or all-girls event, add some ‘low’ to your ‘quality time’ measurements.

So let me return to the same question I’ve asked since the beginning of this article. What is marriage for? Because based on my previous writings, honestly I can’t find an answer.. So you might wanna tell me if you have one.

To sum up all the stories, I’ve asked this question to one of my closest friend who was married. And here’s his answer:

“The only thing you could never get unless you’re in a marriage…”

“… is a divorce”

Well, you know what? He’s right.

But I’m sure I don’t wanna married for that reason!
