here in our country the Philippines, many many won't admit it, but they will prefer Live-In first until the time of tests of relationships before engaging unto marriage.... just i my suggestion about topics such as divorce to be legal or not.... i think Live-In first for 5 years before deciding to be marriage or not, in order to lessen the possibilities of wishing for divorce someday....

Well I'm quite surprised that no one seems to disagree with your idea that getting married is crucial. I very much disagree. Marriage is not necessary in order to live a successful and happy life. It is only a material contract. Not only that, but I don't believe that one even needs to be in a relationship at all to lead a successful and happy life. I guess many would disagree, but I'd also guess that that is why there is so much divorce and unhappy marriages. It really shouldn't be a means to any end, despite it being treated as such. I do agree that if a couple is to get married that they do need to be prepared and be sure that they are marrying the right person and for the right reasons. The amount of time needed to prepare for the ceremony depends on the individuals and how big the wedding will be, their schedules, etc.

I got married for several reasons. I fell in love with my husband and wanted to marry him. I was living with him and therefore had to get married to him. We had a strong connection between us and our relationship was great. We wanted to raise a family and be together forever. So marriage was the obvious next step.

There are lots of things to do to get ready for your wedding. If you get a wedding planner they can help you figure out what all you need to do for the big day. I started planning my wedding maybe a year before we actually got married but I started doing all the major stuff several months before we got married. There are lots you have to do to get ready for a wedding.

Marriage itself is the important decision in anyone's life because you need to live with a person for whole life for that you need to have commitments,promises,understanding,honesty,faith,time to take responsibility.All these things are required to get married. One should talk to each other & get to know each other as in INDIA we people do arranged marriages so to get closer you need to talk to each other.You need to understand each other's likings & dis likings. I think just 2~3 months are enough to prepare for marriage.

getting married is really a crucial thing to everyone but choosing the right person is way too important than that because if we marry a wrong guy then we have to suffer our whole life.but if we choose the right person and want to get married to him then it is one of the best choices of our life.
