I'd like to know your opinion about marriage. well, I think u don't need to get married so your relationship gets to another level and you show that you'r really inlove ans stuff. marriage is just like a contract, and felling have nothing to do with that. well, most of the time. lol

For me, marriage is not about taking a relationship to the next level. I believe that marriage is a covenant, a lifelong commitment. People can negotiate out of contracts but for me marriage is more than just signing the papers. When a couple speak of their vows, they are vowing not only to each other but to God, their families and the community to remain steadfast in their love for as long as they live.

so like you answer, no LOVE your ANSWER! I truly believe in you. Its not just a paper its a covenant not only to your partner but also to God, a life long commitment. So Sad to hear that more and more people forgot that part of marriage.

I kinda agree you u2 but... is really needed to sign a papper or have a ring to have a commitment? God knows how you feel and God likes when u are good to each other. well... so u can't date, kiss and so until u get married to that person? that's kind of what the Bible says... if u love the person you'r with I guess there's no need to marry her or him, as told here, you won't love him/her more just because u's married. and about the vows... that means if u see something wrong about that relationship, or some of them cheating, u can talk or do something about it?

I live with my boyfriend now for almost eight years. We are committed to one another just as much as anyone who is married. There is no my or yours in my relationship as we are one together. We do not even speak about marriage as we feel we live as if we were. Signing a piece of paper makes it no different then what we currently have. We may or may not be married someday, we just do not need a State and or piece of paper to confirm what both of us know we have.

Marriage is a contract and shouldnt change anybody's feeling. sometimmes it does but it shouldnt. If i were to get married it wouldnt be to get my relationship to another level but mostly for financial and IRS reasons because what we have wont change because of a piece of paper.

Well I live with my partner since 5 years. We are not married. Maybe in the future we will but marriage for us is not important to be happy. We respect each other and love each other very much. Will I love him more if he would wed me? No. I would love him the same.
