a lot of couples today would move in together and live in even if they're not married. They want to try out if the relationship will work and if it does, eventually it will lead to marriage. But if it doesn't, then they break up like after a year or two and will go find another. They say you can live in first because in marriage there is no turning back. If you get married, you are tied for the rest of your life. How important is marriage to you? Your thoughts please.

Just in my opinion, marriage is very very important relationship in our lives. Almost everyone want to have a firm and warm family environment, parents was our castle when we were young, and then we grow up to have our own colorful existence,our intimate partner just becomes "the one"-half of ourselves. Marriage is a indenture between a couple who love each other and contains too much responsibility, it's not only a paper with two names, but the most beautiful promise in the world. I firmly believe that the happiest time for a girl is the moment his husband wearing ring for her. I'm waiting for the moment belongs to me~~

i agree that marriage is an adventure of life that a couple must keep going in order to build a strong foundation and a family. I believe that not almost, but everyone wants a firm and stable relationship, who doesn't right? Its just that some of us have bad choices and bad chances in life that is inevitable.

For me, marriage is important. I am traditional girl, so I mind to live together without marriage. It is unequal to each ohter, especially for women. if they have a baby, maybe man will persuade women to give up the child because he does not want to be responsible to it. after years, they break up by some reasons. It is horrible hurt to the woman.
So, I still want to have a relationship between "couple".

i also consider myself as a traditional girl and i dreamed about getting married to the one i truly love. I believe that couples should only get married if they truly love each other and that there is acceptance between them. There is no love if you do not accept the person wholeheartedly. You have to think it through before tieing the knot because that is the point of no return.

yes marriage is very important but i dont believe its meant for everyone. that's the biggest commitment within a relationship. some people get married to young or for the wrong reasons like cause two people had a child together. if u not truly in love you should never get married.

yeah, it is important but its not meant for everyone. i agree with you on that. Marriage is for couples who are truly inlove, and people should never get married for the wrong reasons. Only a few marriage lasts long even if they married just for a child in the way, or because something already happened between them, especially for the old fashioned parents.

I got married before and got separated just last year. We actually lived together first before deciding to get married. Well obviously our living together, knowing each other better didn't work out. For me marriage is still important though. A lot of woman would like to walk the isle, that's one of their greatest dreams. When you decide to get married, you shouldn't think about the consequences whether you'll stay together for the rest of your life or not. You just love the person that's why.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that. At least I hope that you have experienced that and will know what to do next time. I know that we should only get married if we love the person truly and not because of any other reason. Both also have to be prepared for their responsibilities because it is never easy. As long as the couple stays together and with strong cooperation, everything will work out fine.

It is important, yes to certain people who are weak at heart in taking decisions, who fluctuate from time to time, if at all they are in a bond like "marriage" they are likely to stay and prolong the relation, but in today's world i dont think marriage is still an important institution, many of them are going into "living together" now, until you are okay, stay together, when not comfortable just walk your way out...but in marriage, you have many formalities attached to it
