Do you still believe in marriage?

I personally, wanted to get married more than anything. To me, being married gives makes you work harder at the relationship, it keeps you from giving up so easily. If I wasnt married it would be easier for me to just pack up and leave because I dont care to fix it, but I do. Me and my husband both went into our marriage knowing that it was a lot of work and wasnt going to be easy. I believe that when people think that "oh I can just get a divorce" is the reason there are so many. People give up so easily thinking that its no big deal, just move on.

I still believe in marriage as for me.But it really depends on the person.some people believes but some do not.i guess what matters is as long as you love each other, go for it!!!!

As I read this discussion all about. It seems that you are not believe in marriage. It seems that you fear to get marriage because you presume that someday you will be broke out and not coming out on the situations that you do... I believe that marriage is a divine things and those person cohabited without marriage is violating the commandments of God. If you do believe in God, you must need to realize that marriage is one of the important thing a person can do. If don't believe with God, that' no problem because your not a part of a christian way of life... The way the christian and Muslim are both believe in marriage and they know that this is a divine things for every persons that planning entering into married

I've noticed this very same thing lately. I just got married July 11 and it was one of the happiest things I've done. I was raised very traditionally and I always dreamed of getting married and raising children and I do very strongly believe in marriage, as long as both people are willing to make it work (which, I think, is where a lot of marriages fall down, I think). But one of my coworkers has been dating her boyfriend for 3 - 4 years now and has a 2 year old daughter with him and they aren't married. She's been wanting to get married for some time now, but he likes their arrangement now just living together and he doesn't want the commitment of marriage. I never understood that really and she doesn't really either because right now he's got a commitment to her as it is and they both intend to stay together for quite a long time, but he's just afraid to have that unbreakable commitment. Personally, I think a lot of people are just afraid that their marriage isn't going to last. An awful lot of marriages go south and end in brutal divorces and I think that a lot of couples would rather avoid that hassle altogether and not get married. Then again, I know a lot of couples that think it's a waste of time to get married because if you're living together and love each other and plan to do so for the rest of your lives then there's no NEED to get married because you don't need that label on it.

This is a concern of mine too. I am always talkng to my teens about this. I have neighbor who went through this. She and a man rented the house next door and I was just getting to know her when they had a fight and she moved out. I was looking forward to talking to her and having bbq's and stuff. But poof! She moved out the next day. I believe in marriage not only because it is a traditional and spiritual commitment but I believe that two people who have seriously made that commitment will work harder to keep it. But a woman, or man, who just lives with someone could be together one day and left in the lurch the next. And why would a man want to get married if he is getting the s e x for free? I suppose nowadays a woman can still get child support from a man who is not her husband but it is a lot harder. Two people who live together are definitely attached. Even if they do live together, the break up still feels like a divorce. the emotion is the same, there is just less paperwork. And if the man really cares for the woman, he would do what she wants and marry her and say the words that make them a real couple. hope you understood my rant!
