Yes I do. I also believe you should be married in a church, not on a roller-coaster, underwater, or where ever you feel like it. It's a commitment you are making infront of God. You need to be in God's house. My mom and dad just celebrated teir 51st anniversary, and I just celebrated our 26th anniversary. It is possible. I just think they have made it to easy to get a divorce.

theres a law for divorce.so its not just easy to believe its still a commitment. its easy to file an annulment, so i think,marriage now is no longer holy.

i think it depends on the person involve if they want to keep there marraige. if they wanted the marraige to stay strong they do everything to keep the marriage. well communication seems to be the problem always. Those laws are not helping much. People will take marriage as like things you find in stores.

Hi lieraO! I definitely do think that marriage is commitment. At the same time i do not beleave in a couple continuing a marriage which is a failure because they are commited for life. But i also think one ha to be faithful to his partner.

Marriage is a commitment in a sense that you just have to be prepared for every obstacle that may arise. Some try to work it out but some fail, the most important part should be thinking about the best times that both of you spent together, up until you parted ways both of you should keep in mind that one way or the other your still committed. If your marriage works out fine and well then both of you can keep it till both of you die, but if it fails just think that there's much more instore for both of you :

Right now with the rate of annulment in my country, I wonder if marriage is still a commitment or is it just a ceremonial activity to show case how much u have spent for the wedding and dress. :P

I guess on that part; it depends on the couple who is getting married. I prefer to have a simple wedding with only family and friends around. Lavish ceremonial activity doesn't matter that much to me. What matters is the love we have for each other and that we will be together for the rest of our lives.

At second thought, with all that fuss about ceremonies and wedding decorations, i agree with you. They would care more if the ceremony is well organized than if the couple will amange to stay together for life.

Well both should know how to keep a spark going. Its what makes it lasts long. Specially if you enjoy doing things together.

I still believe its a commitment. Marriage isnt something you do for fun, there must be strong emotional background, strong feelings, and love for sure. Depends on the people though, some dont actually believe in marriage vows.I can accept those who decide to mutually end marriage status due to bad circumstances.But divorce isnt always solution.

Yes marraige is not for fun. It is not like a hot food eaten and when you get burn you can just easily spit it out. It is something you have to think about many times before deciding to be married.

I believe marriage is just the legal and public affirmation of two people attempting to maintain a committment already made. Not all relationships can or will work, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. I am not Christian, so none of that means anything to me.

I do believe that it is a commitment. First marriage is done in the church where the couple have to vow for the commitment. I am single yet I believe as a Christian we need to know love that is of God as we lead our life to marriage. God bless!

God's blessing is always needed in a marraige. Belief in him can make it stronger too. But it depends in culture and traditions too.
