Luna Lovegood Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Personally, I believe it is overrated. I mean, what does it actually do? All it means is that you are willing to pay a bunch of money to have some guy say 'I Now pronounce You Husband And Wife'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmarian Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Not really.Marriage is a relationship where you promise to your partner that you will be loyal to him for whole life. That there is no marriage people would break their relationships much more and often. I don't see anything bad in marriage if both partners really love each other , marriage give only good things.

~Shore Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 some people need it. personally I think its limiting and I wouldn't get married cuz then I have to be devoted to my marriage. It seems to cause a lot of problems but its hard to imagine the world without it. I guess theres good and bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah well I've seen enough cases where some people need it because they can't support themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefached Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Marriage is mainly a religious thing....but to many is a holy/spiritual ceremony to which you devote your life to that person. Though i've met many people that have been engaged for 15+ years and live great...refuse to get actually married because they see to many of their friends just end up divorced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 15 or more years? I've never heard of an engagement that long (longest I've seen is up to 7 years). And they don't want to get married on the case because they're scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 personally after the 7 year period you'd think they would have gotten the impression if they lasted this long together without being officially together via marriage, making it official shouldn't make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fh-Fh Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 My parents never got married. Good thing to. They got "divorced" and I live with my dad. If they were married I would have to live with my crazy abusive mother AND my dad would have to pay child support AND alamony. I'm not gonna get married. I might live with my partner, but not marriage. I'm atheist so its okay. But here comes another question. Marriage is defined as a bond between two people (throwing Prop 8 out the window) and the only person who can administer that bond is a Priest, Rabbi, Monk, Shaman, Druid, Wizard, whatever. Once you are married, if you divorce, you (more specifically THE MALE since custody almost ALWAYS goes to the female) has to pay a whole bunch of support money. I thought government and religon weren't supposed to mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megaworm Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Marriage is something you have to keep alive, like fish. If you leave fish alone for too long, they die. If you feed your fish too much, they get fat and die, if you put in a different fish, they secretly hate eachother and sometimes kill each other if the need arouses. Don't get fish you don't like or want to take care of, don't get fish that you cant touch if you want a fish you can touch, and you will lose money to the fish wether you like it or not, because you have to feed them, take care of baby fish and deal with PETA saying you are not taking care or abusing your fish.

Megaworm Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 replace fish with spouse. Then it makes sense. Or not, depends on who you get married to, a fish, a mermaid or a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raelen Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Marriage is a vow between a man and a woman or "two people" now that Prop 8 is in the picture. The reason you might think it's not needed, is that people are not respecting their promises to the other person. People nowadays can get a divorce pretty easily. Why keep your promise if it's so easy to ignore it? People should keep the vow they make unless there is a really good reason. That is my view and I hope some people share my views. -Raelen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakura Vessal Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, if you don't want to get married, then don't. Still, a few mear $'s is spent on showing that you love the other person so much that you want to spend you entire life with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you divorce so easily, it shows nothing more than you're not ready to compromise, since every marriage requires it. Even for the factors beyond your control, you must endure so that your marriage is strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
