For family, it is something that is important. But if you are focused on your career and attaining more responsibility before taking the plunge, it's not something you can easily do and the family will support. Don't get worked up over an issue like this.

I don't think it's really necessary or important. I mean if your in a relationship and don't get married that's alright. well atleast to me, If you both love each other why should a paper have to prove it to the whole world. I think the love and committment to each other is more important, and more emphasis should be put on that.

well it's nice to see someone else who agrees with me, lol. I just can't imagine having the wife label, I don't know why. It just bothers me.

I don't think it's important to be married. I absolutely love my boyfriend, he loves me. We have lived together for close to two years and neither one of us has the desired to get married. For us, it's just a piece of paper and alot of money for a wedding. There is just no reason. We don't have children or want children, so marriage to us is not important. It's seems to be more important to people in my family who constantly ask when I am getting married. When I tell them never, it drives them crazy.

Well, it's hard to say. Because many people have different views on this question. It really depends. For me, I don't think marriage is necessary in my life...I don't know how to say, just a feeling. I think ture love is the most important thing in a marriage. Then the understanding with each other...

For two people in love, want to have a family and have children- Marriage is important. It may be just a paper but it binds two people and give name and stability to the family. I still believe in the sanctitiy of marriage. It is the only legitimate way of having children.

Well i think its important not only to start a family but u need companion a person u can trust on, share ur feeling ur parents and siblings cant be with u all life. nor friends can do that only life partner and kids u can rely on so dont think short term think of life after 45-50 yrs of age then decide its my opinion regards
