Do you think marriage will become obsolete one day?

Nah, I don't think it will become obsolete. The defition of marriage might change, but there will always be people who fall in love and want to pledge their lives to eachother. Will it become less common? Maybe. But I don't think it will ever be obsolete.

I don't beleive it. Marriage has been a part of life for a long long time. The basic fundamentals involved with marriage have and will continue to change, but I do not feel that it will ever become obsolete.

I dont think so, but 1 cant say with the increase in divorces this days..i would want to say that there be a review in our laws as regards marriage, somethin has to be done to check the rise..

How can one change such a good thing and make it not happen in ones life to get married,I think its a good thing to sign the papers for one another,I know alot of people say its just a piece of paper saying your married but its important to have.

My personal opinion is that this will never happen. This opinion is based in my Christian faith. God created marriage with Adam and Eve in the beginning. I truly believe that a family with a mother and father is the best way to raise kids. I certainly don't know how single parents do it. They need all the help they can get from family and friends.

I think this is entirely possible. My family is devastated that I am getting married and would prefer that I just live with my intended instead. To me, that offers a "one foot out the door mentality" that would just make me nervous. By marrying, I am promising my husband that I intend to stay with him no matter what. That mentality allows for greater confidence when having children together, buying a house together, or moving together. Based on the views I have heard, however, marriage has been slowly becoming undesirable for many! My own mom didn't want to get married but she wanted children so my dad told her he refused to have children with someone who couldn't commit. All of my mom's friends have been married 2-3 times and have all cheated on their husbands. This is just my personal experience of how people see marriage in this day and age. It is "toxic" "anti-feminist" "confining". But, I'm sure there will always be traditionalists who believe that marriage is a beautiful commitment to make to another person and should be cherished. I tend to lean towards the latter.

I am not sure of it but me and my bf are into a live-in relationship and he said he wants it for long term with me. In my opinion, marriage is still important because I will be able to have more rights if I am married to the man I love. If we are married, we will not separate that easy as we will try to work out everything and I don't want a divorce.

Marriages may or may not be important but I don't think it would become obsolete. It will stay.

No, marriage has been around for centuries, people want to get married so that they are given the blessing of their family and their future family. Marriage will never fade out.
