In my part as christian I would prefer to marry and bind by the holy sacrament. A marriage that is blessed by holy spirit, church and the holy sacrament is more strong in foundation.God binds as his love. According to his words "No one can separate what God has joined together". What about your idea about this? Will you please share with it?

Of course. Marriage as the true real sense of the word. When you get married it's a lifetime commitment, when you get married you're sure to be with your loved one for a long time and when you get married by the holy sacrament you have the blessings of God. Why go on live in, there's no security, no commitment anytime you can break up with your partner as there's no sacred vows that bind you together.

I got married when I was in my early twenties. Sadly I got divorced six years later. Since then I did have a live in relationship. I must say that I prefer dating one man compared to marrying him or living with him. I am respectful to religious ideas. One of my friends got married in a quaint looking church and had her wedding ceremony in a castle. That was the best wedding that I have ever been to.

i prefer marrying at church. this is considered as the real marriage. marrying is a tough decision. there's no trial and error after that. Making decisions should be a shared responsibility. Studies have shown that the unhappiest people in a marriage are often those who have the burden of making decisions alone. In the most successful marriages, decision making is a shared activity. Another characteristic of a successful marriage is that both partners are sincerely concerned about the wishes and personal preferences of the other. They are both willing to go more than halfway in reaching mutually satisfying compromises. Decisions or compromises that are made are made willingly instead of grudgingly. Sharing decisions means that neither spouse has to be "wrong" or "lose." Both share the results. There is no resentment aroused by the attitudes of "who was right" and "who was wrong." There is the mutual growing together by the sharing in making "our decisions.

Thank you mam for what a nice idea that you have shared with me. In fact that i am not yet married by this time. But in my case i would prefer to choose church than live in. Your right mam, in order that the marriage would be successful one there should be sa mutual understanding, caring and loving of both partners.Marriage is not a joke it is a lifetime commitment of husband and wife in front of God. No matter what happen in the marriage both partners would always be firmed to face all the trials along the way of marriage. Take good care mam.
