Your Opinon On Marriage

[MegaMomo]

I always figured marriage was something.. traditional, but not really 'necessary.' I'm not really married, so I'm not sure if opinions change 'cause of that though. But it seems like marriage is something 'peaceful,' and something you have to be ready to accept, like another responsibility. I think it's nice when people can agree to marry each other, and settle down, with all that.. it's admirable, and normal, I'd think, what everyone's used to.

But I don't think marriage is necessary. I agree with what someone said earlier about it just being an agreement. I mean, I don't need marriage to prove I love someone, I don't even NEED to prove I love someone. I'd be fine just knowing, that the person I'm always around, or see everyday is someone special, marriage or not.

...But. Actually, I only think it's necessary if you want kids, or something in that area. If parents decide on that, or even by accident, they should be married already, or get married later, so everyone can still be together. I don't think someone should marry if they know they can't do it, or hold up their end, knowing it's one sided..

I just think that so many people get married way too young. I mean, you're 18-21 and you reeeeally think you're ready to decide who you're gonna be with for the rest of your life? Me thinks not.

Yeah loads of people are getting married at a young age, but it can work out!
My mum and dad met when they were 20 & 21 and 6 months later they got married (on my mums's 21st Birthday), they're still together now and their realtionship is still as strong as ever

Well, of course it can work. Too many times it doesn't, though, according to statistics. My grandparents and parents both married young also and are still together. Keep in mind, though, we are living in different times now.

At least here in the U.S., with this "on-the-go" culture, there seems to be an increasing lack of respect for things like marriage and just a lack of respect for people in general. We are becoming a nation of realityTV-watching, Lil' Wayne-listening, out-for-self douchebags and I think that the institution of marriage is not revered and respected like it was in our parents/grandparents day.

Of course there will be success stories but, statistically, those stories seem to be becoming the exception to the rule more and more.

Having children is more of a "major thing" in life personally.

Idek, but being 15, I'm not really looking towards that yet.

I've always wanted to have kids myself, though. Never crossed my mind about marriage.

I'm all for marriage, my grandparents got married at 18, and they're both in their late 60's now and still going strong, but like Squiddy said, different times nowadays means it's not always gonna work out the same.

For me, being married is like joining the nWo.

Once you do it, you should do it with the intention of it being 4 Life. None of this divorce bullcrap: that's a pussy way out!

I second this!


I guess a lot of couples just get married for the hell of it.

You know what they say..."The main reason people get divorced is because they got married!"

[Rogue_Agent]

To some it is better to run away from your problems, than to face them like a person who has a spine.

Marriage is something I would want to do ONLY if I can trust this person with all my being.


I dont see myself married in the next 2-4 years but I definitely will be married before I hit 40!

to the contrary, if I had the income and capabilities I'd get married now.

I also agree with Psychoblue, I dont understand why someone would start the a relationship with the intention of not wanting to keep it permanent. This is why marriage is the only real method of relationship , in my opinion anyway, I dont agree with girl friends and boy friends or temporarily relationships.

[Mishimaboy]

Well perhaps I could understand a married couple getting divorced due to money problems or whatever...but I'll never get why married couples decide to do this when they already have children.

The children should ALWAYS come first despite whatever happened between the parents. Children need two parents.

At least in my opinion.

Some people just genuinely don't want to be in a permanent relationship and they have every right to feel that way. It really doesn't make them any less of a person than someone who believes in the "sanctity" of marraige and it doesn't make them a bad person. It just depends on what you would like to do with your life and what would make you happy. That's not a biased opinion, either, because I would like to marry one day.

The problem comes when people are not honest about what they want. If you want to be a "free spirit" and stay single or casual, as far as relationships are concerned, then be honest about it. Find people who share those views and knock yourself out. Instead, a person will usually decieve someone and make them believe that the relationship is heading somewhere when, in fact, that person has no intention of being in it for the long haul. That's when you're a douchebag, when you toy and gamble with people's emotions.

My bottom line is that society should not place expectations on an individual's idea of happiness. The idea that what works for some should work for all is clearly a flawed way of thinking. If it wasn't we wouldn't be having this discussion. In the end, it's your life and you should do what ever you want with it. Just don't be a douchebag.

Of course, unexpected pregnancy is the only legitimate variable and is a whole 'nother issue in it's own right.

[JeeNoo]

I think marriage is troublesome ...

and...it's a huge step forward, I think that after you get married you start a new life, it's something big, different, and scary...

[ImagineAsian]

I hope to get married~! (:

It's just something I think is right, ya know? Like my parents encourage me (for once) in finding a good-hearted guy who i would love and stuff. I mean marriage is something quite big, but it really is simple. It's just binding your love for a person, legally or not.

[Trick Trap]

...when the right person at the right time comes... XD

[tekken6foreva]

I personally would love to get married some day. I do know too many people that have jumped into marriage too quickly and it never seems to last. My best friend is on her second marriage and she is 26 as well. This time around she took the time to get to know her current hubby. But her ex husband she married quickly...due to the fact they have a kid together. I really suggest taking the time to get to know someone before making a commitment like that.

[tekken6foreva]

I think that marraige is cool. I have no problem with it but I just don't know why, if it's supposed to be a permanent deal, people can't just wait. I think late 20s-early 30s is a good time to get married.

I agree with you on this. Late 20's early 30's is a good time to get married. Too many people jump into marriage too young.

I plan to get married when im 25, after I graduate this year (I'll be 23) then the next 2 years will consist of me sorting out a few things to prepare myself.

[T-Light]

Marriage . Yeah , actually that's an important thing in human's life . U can see that the great peoples have the greatest wife/husband beside him/her

[*****]

I remember back then when I started this thread, I had im mind that once I graduate from university I would seriously start looking for someone. But now when the time has come, i've got different priorities that I'd like to get first, and so it may be a long time before/if I get married

[Mechacide]

Surely you believe that you must marry, eventually.
