Do you think getting married is important and you must do it? or do you believe that you can if you want?
I dont believe it is a must do, but im very much looking forward to getting married. People feel they have to do it to prove they love there partner, im planning on getting married so i can become my partners misses and share his last name.

When you are planing and serious to get into wedlock it is not proper on our part to say things againsst the institution of marriaqge.The definition goes as.."Mariage is a beseized fort and those who are inside want to get out and those who are outside wantto get in".There is another saying .."Marriages are made in heaven and suffered on earth"What ever it may be marriage is a fine stage to love each and share pleasures and pains toether.Go ahead 'Wish you happy married life"

In India there is a saying about marriage. It is said to be a sweet that one who does not eat suffers and the one who eats also suffers :). So either way you need to suffer, so better to suffer after marriage.
As far as I am personally concerned, I feel it is phenomenal institution and requires utmost commitment from both parties to make it successful.
Cheers!

Not everyone seriously considers marriage. some people are happier living a single life. I am a person who truly believes in the bonds and union of marriage. Two people sharing their lives and futures together is something that inspires me. it just isn't what everyone else wants in life.

Marriage is a great expression of love. It lets the world know that you are solely devoted to someone. It is a way to take a special relationship to a whole new level. There are lots of reasons why people get married, some wise and others foolish, some of them only thinking about the here and now and others thinking ahead into the future. Because many people are human and make mistakes and do not always think things through or think rationally the majority of them get married for what turn out to be silly or foolish reasons in the long run. This may be why so many marriages end up with a divorce or being unhappy and with one or both looking for someone outside the marriageMarriage makes both the husband and the wife feel more secure in a relationship. And it serves as a recognition of a planned future between two people, which is hugely important.

I was married once although I would have liked it to have been forever, unfortunately he was not ready for a full commitment. so things just did not work out. Now currently for 5 years I live with my boyfriend and have never been happy. Marriage is something we just do not speak about so for now it is working well this way.

I don't think marriage has any importance other than providing legal benefits to people in long-term relationships. I don't think anyone "must" get married and I have no problem with divorce.

I don't entirely believe in marriage because I've seen couples part ways after just a couple of years of getting married. In some countries its easy to get divorce but in our country you need a lot of cash and the process will take about a year or two. And because of that the practical side of me is saying that I don't really need to get married while on the other hand my religious side is saying that I should. After giving it some serious thought I came to realize that I do want to get married someday. Hopefully with the right person and not suffer the same faith as that of the people I've known.

I think that a wedding is an optional thing in life.
and it's something you may chose to have, when you realise that you have a marriage.
you and your partner. together, as equals, for the rest of your lives through whatever life may throw at you.
when you have that, you may look at your marriage, as that's what it is, ceremony or no ceremony, and decide you need a wedding to mark it.
that's what happened to me.
we were in a marriage before the wedding. the wedding was to mark our ongoing committment to the marriage that formed naturally in us being together.

Personally, I think it seals the bond. At least its having a tangible contract. I'm getting married in January and I'm looking forward to it. At the end of the day, it depends on the couple.

well i understand you why you dont prefer on getting married because nowadays a lot of people are having divorce or annulment. but you know i still believe that you should still be married to someone especially if there are kids involve. i think its unfair for the children to be born illegitimate and dont have a complete family as they grow because having a complete family is really important for growth of the children. but i know you can have a complete family though your not married but im just want to point is the formality and legality of it. but also i believe that marriage should not be a basis of your love to your partner cause if you will get marry it should be from you yourself that you want to spend the rest of your life to that person. i guess it should be think trillion times if you will decide to get married and of course prayers. i firmly believe if God is the center of your marriage it wont ever be broken.

Well I'm far from old school so I don't believe in marriage. I believe two people can live very happily without that piece of paper saying your owned by each other!lol Besides that everyone I have knew that was married or who got married are now divorced and hate each other. Believe it or not people change when they sign that paper.

Marriage is a binding contract that gives a couple all the legalities and what pertains in the contract that is protected by the law. It is not a must but it gives security to couples. It entails protection to the couple and their children. Living together without marriage is acceptable especially in this modern days. But there is no security. It's fine with men to find another woman but what happens to unwed women who's been left behind with mouths to feed? It's a choice but together with it is a great responsibility to stay together with or without marriage. ^_^
