We have seen different quotes, poems, sayings and stories and articles explaining LOVE has tremendous power. We all agree to it. We also know that each religion teaches us to love. Finally LOVE IS LIFE. LIFE without love is not a life.
Now marriage is nothing but a legal contract to live together. Yes the said contract can be successfully executed if the two parties love each other else as per law (made by us only) contract broken.
Marriage is a legal contract where as LOVE is a BOND.
Contract can be broken; BOND can not.( Many have loved someone but married to somebody else; what you would say?)
My question is when You LOVE, why marry?
Is it only to follow the rules made by us?

Why get married? Why not? What difference does it really make? Well, with a legal contract, you get special spousal rights. Like joint funds, insurance, the rights to live with each other if one of your career forces you to move, as well as the living will rights to be with and make decisions for your spouse in the event of a severe accident. Generally, when you're in love, you want to share these things with the person you love. In my country, if two people live together for 6 years, they fall under the legal label of "common law marriage", meaning they are legally treated as if they were married, only they are not legally bound to one another.

Marriage is not a legal contract - long before the certificate was made compulsory - people had happy married lives - marriage is a commitment to each other and to future children and to society - it is the basic unit of society and the backbone of any civilization.
