Is Marriage like a Cell Phone Contract?

For some, I guess it is! Some are renewable, others are lifetime and some will expire!

Marriage is not be considered as a contract or anything like that instead we can say it is the bonding of love between 2 individuals and this bonding should be respected by both till the end of their life and each one should understand each other and taht is life

absolutely notyou have a strange way of comparing cp contract and marraige itself..too much difference i guess for once the couple bore children while the cp contract wont have oneand so many other differences too many to mentioned here...however what is synonymous between them is the contract paper itself duly signed by both parties..

It depend on you how you maintain the relationship. I think in this holy ralationship Independence is equal, the dependence mutual & the obligation is reciprocal.

Wow! I've never before heard of marriage being compared to a cell phone contract! There are several ways they are alike. I suppose they are comparable. Ha ha ha. Interesting to say the least!

I do not think so that marriage is any cell phone contract. Most people marry because they really love one another and wish to live together, not to make empty promises they cannot fulfill.

Marriage is only like a cell phone contract if the two people do not love each other in the first place. But marriage is only a public affirmation of a private love. It should make no difference to the nature of the relationship at all. Anyone who does not take their marriage seriously would be insincere in the first place and just using the marriage as a convenience tool. Most people marry because they really love one another and wish to live together, not to make empty promises they cannot fulfil.

marriage is a covenant btw 2 people to be for ever be commited to each other seeing it in any other way is placing it on a very wrong foundation.www.achieversideas.com

LOL but a cellphone contract usually only lasts for 2 years... Wait... that sounds familiar ;P. Yes maybe you have a point there. Modern marriages are like that. They woo you by those low, monthly payments, until you realise when you sign, that it's actually a big commitment, and theres other costs too, like data plan etc. Yeah premarriage, everything looks good, until you find that the phone starts malfunctioning. Or the user interface is messed up. Or the sound quality isn't good. Or the buttons are placed in a way which makes you push the wrong one, which makes your husband, uh phone, mad. Anyway, now I think i have to say, go contract free :D. Buy a phone, try it out for a while, if you don't like it, trade in for another one. Until you're really satisfied with your phone. Then you can uh, settle down with your phone and maybe get a contract. But the contract isnt necessary, its the phone thats important ;) I actually want to find a good phone, and a good partner also, such a relevant topic :D. I didn't think of relationships in this perspective before! Thanks for starting this topic :)
