Call us pioneers because we said it before everyone else: 4 in ten Americans now believe that marriage is obsolete<\/em><\/strong>!\"\"<\/p>\n

According to a report by the AP,<\/a> 39 percent of Americans think that marriage is becoming obsolete, or more specifically, that a married couple isn’t necessary to be called a family. Due to the findings, the US Census Bureau is actually planning on changing some of the questions for the 2020 Census. We think it’s a great sign – finally people are realizing that signing a contract and legally binding your lives together isn’t necessary to be happy or fulfilled.<\/p>\n

This year reported the lowest marriage figures ever – hitting only 52% for adults 18 and over. So what is this? Is OBC no longer a fringe website? Are people finally listening to their evolutionary instincts that marriage, and monogamy, might not actually be part of our genetic code? That perhaps meeting, dating, and having fun together doesn’t necessarily have to end with a four-hour trip to the court house to report your enjoyment of each other to the federal government?<\/p>\n

Well, suffice it to say almost half of Americans think so, and we think we might have a couple reasons why:<\/p>\n

1) No one can agree on what marriage even means<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gay marriage debate, if anything, has proven one thing: no one even know WTF marriage means. Is it\u00a0 up to the state? Is it up to the church? Is it personal and private and shouldn’t be interfered with by anyone? WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYMORE?<\/em><\/p>\n

2) The process of getting married costs an obscene amount of money<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost $20,000 to be exact.<\/a> And on that note,<\/p>\n

3) Your money becomes a matter of the state<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alimony<\/em>. It’s an actual word referencing the fact that even if you GET DIVORCED, you have to keep “maintaining” or “supporting” your spouse. Yeeeah, no thanks. And let’s say you decide to pick up a skill that makes you the highest paid athlete of all time, your alimony could be, I don’t know, $750 MILLION.<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Marriage makes you fat<\/strong><\/p>\n

FACT.<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Why get married when you can enjoy yourself on OBC!<\/strong> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Am I right or am I right?!<\/em><\/p>\n

Reasons to stay single #758,901 – 905: right there.<\/p>\n\n
