Is Marrying Important now a Days?

My husband and I value our marriage as the most important thing in our world. As parents to 7 children, we have told our's not to even contemplate getting serious or looking at permanancy until mid-30's. Our reasons for suggesting that wait...first, if you look at the high divorce rate's in the world...they do drop substantially for older couples over those who marry young. For most people your 30+ before you really come into your own and have an idea of who you really are, what matters to you in this life, and how you will choose to live your life. Couples who get together well before that maturity level are still changing and growing a great deal...and even if things are idealistic when you and your SO get together...since your both still continuing to evolve, there is no guarantee that you will both grow in the same direction....If your a bit older and more settled, the growth/change rate is not nearly so pronounced and there's a higher likelihood that the two of you will continue to have more commonalities

yes it is important to get married and the age to get married is 26

Yes, it is. However, you have to be sure that you want to be with the person you are marrying for a lifetime. That you can accept his weaknesses. That you want to be with him/her thru thick and thin. That you love the person. Otherwise, your marriage will fail.

I totally think that it depends on the people, I know plenty of people that have been with eachother for a number of years and plan on staying that way without marriage. I know that me personally enjoy being married. I would not have it any other way.

yes i think marriage is important only if you really love the person. and i think the age you should get married at the least is 25.

no. because we should can live alone without husband or wife. we can always get friend. 1 friend is better than 1 husband or wife.

yes coz i dont want to grow up alone.. 30 if you want to enjoy your single year.. 25 if your a virgin..

otherwise we were not be there..... right

YES MAy BE...BCz this season is best for.............u know very well

i think marriage is still improtant as it brings joy to the couples life. it also help them to grow in their life.

i think it is very important.man should marry within the age of 25 to 32.and woman should marry within tha age of 18 to 27.

well according to me career is more important than getting married but for all indian women.... its very important for indians to get married early.... or there would be rumours and talks abt u in the society....which the parents wouldnt want happenning so they get their children married at a very ripe age....for me...though i am one of the indian gals... my parents are cool and never wud force me to get married if i dint wanna get married so i think more than getting married to a rich guy and sttling dwn the ur priority should be to make a good name for ur self!!!!!!!

i think it's important but less than is the past : times are changing ...

I'm on my second marriage. We've lasted for 7 years and it looks like we're pretty strong. Ok here's the advice I wish I'd known before I married at 19! Know yourself before you commit #1. #2 Commit and don't give up---the first year is the worst in marriage!! Why?? Because you are both trying to set up your roles in the marriage. What causes the most conflict is when your spouse doesn't act the way you think they should. When mom doesn't do the cleaning like usual. When dad doesn't take out the trash because he has for 13 years....whatever. Sometimes it gets more complicated ........I'll tell you what the first year when reality conflicts with your idealism you realize what marriage is all about. For example, you envisioned that handsome hubby to always be so kind and listen. However, you never thought the kind man would leave his socks on the floor, steal your side of the blankets, snore, pick his nose or whatever. Take a year for yourselves if you plan on having kids and then have them because that adds a whole new dynamic! My first marriage failed because I wasn't really ready. The second was rough to start because of my then 3 year old son and the struggle to define our roles in that first year. After that things were much better. We have three of our own and we all enjoy our family. Life is full of ups and downs and to be able to ride it out with my family gets me through.

I don't think it's important for everyone, but I would like to get married before I'm 30.

No I don't think it is anymore, I think it would be better for people to sign a pre-living together of what each own prior to moving in together... Like an ownership contract so it is easiet to claim if things don't work out...when the kids come along things are a bit different, maybe again a contract of some sort...

Yes marriage is important. I don't believe s*x before marriage is right so according to my beliefs we would all be virgins without marriage. I don't think there is a certain age that is right. I was 21 and my husband was 20 when we got married. That was a good time for us, but I think it depends on the person

I dont think its important. Some people feel like they have to be married to be complete..but you dont. Its a personal decision. There is no right age to be married either. Just whenever it happens. I wouldnt say get married young because it seems that most of those marriages dont work out. Give it some time and make sure its what you both want first.

No I hardly know of anyone getting married these days, but i remember when i was a kid, the amount of weddings that i attend with my family. People seem to get engaged and that is how they stay I think it has something to how much its cost getting married, the price just seems to be double than what it was when i was a kid.

No, marriage is not important now a days as it was in the earlier days. There are a lot of single people that are happy with their lives!
