Rob Greenfield Instagram – Will I ever get married?
There are many questions that I do not have a definitive answer to, but the answer to this is a very clear “no”.
There are numerous foundational reasons why I have chosen not to be married. I have summarized them here and write in much more depth in this article:

The government will never be involved in my love. I do not need or desire a contract that states my love on paper.
I refuse to make my love a monetary transaction. Today much of marriage has become an industry.
I do not adhere to any religion and do not involve any religion in my love.
I find it unlikely that I will ever know for certain that someone will be a match for the rest of my life. Circumstances change.
I have committed to earning below the federal poverty threshold for life. I have also vowed to not pay federal taxes. There would be no tax deductions or financial benefits to marriage for me.
I am not having children. At the age of 25 I had a vasectomy.
I have chosen a path of impermanence. I have designed my life so that I can return to the soil at any time. This is a strategic design that I chose when I dedicated my life to being of service to Earth and humanity.
I strategically designed my life so that no governments or corporations could have leverage over me. I have chosen to have no humans who are dependent on my existing. At any time I can go to jail or take risks in my activism, that would be much more challenging if I had people dependent upon me.
I have also chosen a path of non-delusion or truth and I understand that much of the current constructs and societal norms for marriage are based on delusion and lies created by corporations and governments for their own financial gain or power control.
I have met my needs in other ways than marriage. Perhaps you could say that I am in a marriage with humanity. Perhaps you could say that I am in a marriage with Earth.
Will I ever have a partner for life? Quite possibly. But I will never be married. I honor every human’s needs for love, for belonging and to matter. I honor this in more depth in the article.
Love,
