We’ve been together for 6, 7, 8, … 15 years. The answer from men versus women is entirely different. Based on my experience, men feel like that they have been with you for many years, and everything is good, why make the change? Why do you need to get married? Women use the same argument. We have been together for 6, 7, 8…15 years, why are we not getting married? So ladies, what are you hearing from the men in your life? There are a lot of topics we can talk about here, like the length of a relationship, expectations based on early conversations, and drawing a line in the sand. But for now, let’s focus on what are you hearing from the men in your life? What are they telling you about changing the status of your relationship?
I’ve heard the same reasons repeated by multiple men; marriage serves no purpose for men, it only benefits the women. I’ve even heard men quote statistics floating about, that 50% of all marriages end in divorce and women initiate 70-75% of those divorces. By marrying, there is nothing you can bring to the table that cannot be had by just living together.
My arguments for why men should marry are, stability, having an equal partner emotionally, financially, and physically, better health, better sex, and you have a best friend. Did I mention, you have better sex? It’s a win-win situation for both partners.
Post in the comments some of your conversations with the men in your life about marriage. What reasons are they giving for not wanting to get married?
