Get the Marriage mug.The term "marriage strike" refers to young men in Western countries deciding to not get married, due to high divorce rates (50% in the U.S., and as high as 75% in California, which is not included in the U.S. average). A perception that marriage is a financial disaster for men, especially during divorce settlements, is generally believed to be driving the marriage strike phenomenon.

Get the marriage strike mug.A term used in the 1930s, and can still be applied today. It's a term meaning if you are an actor who happens to be gay or lesbian like so many people in the 1930s, the agent of that actor tries to marry them off with a straight person. It is either this or lose everything when the public and fans find out a particular actor is homosexual.
These days it's no big deal to come out of the closet, but there are still gay actors married to a straight spouse for appearance, and reputation. This called a Lavender marriage.

Get the Marriage Hooker mug.Married to the sea means you are to busy to get married. The origin of the phrase came from the tendency of seafaring men to stay unmarried because of their commitment to their ship, which kept them at sea for long periods of time where women were scarce. The phrase is also used today to describe the habitually single who are unlikely, or unwilling to wed.

Get the Married to the sea mug.Usually, ship's crew members, ofiicers or ratings might be at sea working on various ships something like 80% of their time, sometimes even one year or more at a time, continuously. In case they are married they often call their wife from different ports of call or from the ship herself via satellite telephone, thus having actually a "telephone marriage" instead of a normal marriage.
