Marriage rates are collapsing for lower income and middle income families

[Coli Bot]

Having a hobby outside of "getting money", anything two people can find time enjoying to do is a benefit.

I like to grab my rod and go to the pier to fish in the middle of the day, I see young couples there chillin catching fish. Stuff like that goes a long way.

Anything besides the typical... if everything involves money you got the wrong chick/husband.

CHurch, hobbies, whatever.... seeing married chicks in the hood, I respect the breh that was able to pull that off and still be lower income.

How did we end up here brehs?

Thats why I just casual date in my city, travel around the world and cavort with exotic women on my travels

I'll make it easier for people to understand your post.

Coming together when it's not about the money or stability, in other words, you put some good dikk on a woman and she literally gives you her life in return.

Most people won't last and look at how many wives aren't attracted to their husbands? A business mindset won't work in today's economy. Only the really blessed will prosper in this environment.

But yes, having a belief outside of money usually will pull the way.

I'm marrying Osama Bin Laden's daughter before I mess with an America sister looking for a man.

Women change like the wind as well, why they end most relationships. Marrying most of these women out there and expecting it to last till death and it to be fulfilling well it's like climbing Annapurna few make it to the top most die trying to achieve that goal

A lot of chicks these days just ain't wife material to be honest. They bring nothing to the table except a mountain of student loan debt. They are overweight, can't cook or clean and are looking at successful brehs as a come up. Child support and divorce can destroy a breh thats barely clinging to middle class status. Folks are right to be cautious these days.

Yup. Marriage is a hustle/con for some lazy shiftless types.

Imagine studying and slowly building yourself just to be a ladder to a woman who doesn’t even like you.

BM & BD aren't making families. It's making broken families.

It's a mix, there r those that make broken, and ones making families just not with marriage.

Even if mfs get married there's no guarantee they gon stay and not end up broken the way marriage has a failure rate.

Men and women need to listen to this in regards to marriage.​

Exaclty society changes so people will usually change with it. I'm sure things where different 30 years ago when a man could work as a janitor and take care of his family. I honestly don't blame women for what they do, it's true love to stick by a man with nothing and believe things will change in his life every year. Not every woman can do it.

If a girl thinks she's ugly and society one day begins to big up girls who look like her, she's gonna change how she thinks which will change how she wants things to be in her life, it's just life.

Adaptation is what it's all about these days, you gotta adapt with the changes...

I honestly think the days of living in one city your whole life are over, you need to visit a few cities to see where opportunity at.

I ain’t gon hold you. If you an average civilian, there’s really no reason getting married. I say that as a married man

It's deeper than your financial situation. If you're unequally yoked spiritually, you will fail. I can guarantee it wasn't just the so called stress from finances that broke up their previous marriages.

Being spiritually bonded improves your ability to pull through the difficulties of marriage. If everybody is selfish in that situation and looking out for themselves, then there is no chance. Which most people are selfish, so yeah.

Please explain for the people in the back why so many marriages fail, even when the man and woman are equally yoked.

Spiritually is not strong enough glue to hold a marriage together. It takes way more than that.

A man loses his job and cannot provide for a season or two, his spiritually-connected wife is going to lose attraction and hop on a new dikk.

Nope.

I read them. General idea is you think being on the same page spiritually is the glue that holds marriages together.

I disagree with that. It's one of the factors that makes for a good mariage.

But, it's not ultimately what holds it together.

We live in a fallen world. There's no guarantee when a person might wake up one day and decide they don't want to do it anymore. That's a chance everybody takes getting married in a fallen world (After sin entered the world). But your chances of having a fulfilling relationship is much better if you follow what God says.

The thing about all of this is, God has some things planned for His future Kingdom that will blow everybody's minds. All of what's happening on earth is not in vain. So live your life. Learn to love people even if they don't show you the same love. The most fulfilling thing in this life is doing for others as you would have them do for you. Get rid of the fear. There is a future. This life is not the end.

Divorce and infidelity is high in the church as well unfortunately

I know pastors who are divorced


It doesn’t matter what you do
