Would you continue to stay with someone if they did not want or believe in Marriage?

This is purely for curiosity purposes. It actually arose from another topic me and a dozen people were debating on during our lunch hour today.

So would you continue to date someone if they did not believe in marriage and never wanted to marry?

Personally I would. I mean if you love someone you would respect there wishes correct? So I mean I suppose I would and of course I would discuss this with them but I would respect there choice.


P.S I did not know where to post this and this seemed like the best place. I considered the debates section but then again while there is a debate aspect of this post I thought that it is also a simple discussion/view point.

Marriage is only a piece of paper that 2 people sign, and after a few years together, means nothing, and gets ripped up when they get divorced

Well it's true to an extent but not every couple get's divorced.

Well, I would still carry on going out with them, and personally, I would only ask someone to marry me IF I thought we would be together forever

I wouldn't mind at all, as long as he'll continue to love me

It would definitely be concerning, I don't know. It would make me feel like there is no trust. I'd have to see the situation to decide.

I had 1 friends, who never believed in love. but he said: when I met you, I had one feeling, it's not love, but I really like, and if we ever meet again more times, I think i will fall in love with you.
So I think with marriage also is. Just you have to meet someone with you want to marriage.
But if my bf will ever say that he did'nt want marriage, I will not get angry. I think above all is to love, protect and respect the loved one.

It is not a 3 month old thread. It is less than that. Check the date the 25th of April So really it is something like under or just over 2 months but defiantly a lot less than 3.

So since the bump limit is still in-tac. No rule has been broken. Therefore this thread is unlocked and no fault can be place on the poster.

Personally I wouldnt keep dating them because yes I respect their views but marriage is very important in my religion and family moral views, and they should also show respect for my. So I guess if we worked it out and compromised I would possibly stay but if not that is a huge deal breaker.

As long as they were loyal to me then I would be fine. If I loved them, well... I just hope my church and family would be okay with it or just learn to live with it. I would be mad if he criticized my religion just because he didn't believe in it, though.
