Before a couple gets married they usually see a bright future ahead full of happiness. They think of all the nice things they will do for their partners. After marriage things usually change. What do you think of marriage at your stage in life (whether you are already married, planning to get married or staying single)?

I've been married for 4 years now and nothing has changed with us. Both of us are still working, never been very successful in life, but that doesn't matter to us. We're happy, and that's all that matters to us.

marriage is a bond between A MAN AND A WOMAN. who are in love and vow to spend forever together. that is what i think of marriage anyway i know many people will disagree with my opinion,but to each their own. I do plan on getting married i would not want to die alone

Honestly, I'm scared of it. I'm scared of a long term commitment. I tell that to my bf sometimes and he reassures me that we can make everything work out.

marriage unite two lovers to become as one... the priest serves only as a medium and actually, God is performing the act and not a priest....

Love marriage. I’m engaged to my gorgeous partner. Never ever thought about getting married before, neither had my partner, then we met, realised we were soulmates and now we have rings on our fingers and a savings account at the ready to try and save for the big day :)

My life is no different being married than it was being unmarried or being single. Nothing has really changed because of being in a relationship or even being married. I never had any delusions about magic happiness just because I have a legal contract of marriage, either.

I see marriage as a war of wills. A tug of war. A constant battle. For me it would mean I would have to completely change. Gone would be the loving Sarah and the b1tch Sarah would take her place. I will never marry. I choose love Over marriage.

I think all marriages ahve their ups and downs. You do have to work at it for a while to make it happy for both individuals. Some can make that happen and some can't. I am happy now with my marriage.

I've been married for 9 years, at the beginning our marriage is very happy, and not much has changed. Changes occur, because we have children, and made ??us very happy. But, after several years running, all the happiness, lost and make our marriage not harmonious. I became very sad, and wanted to live alone. However, this situation made ??me could not do anything.

A marriage is a good thing for me. The bad things are the person who handle marriage. There are people that does not give important the sanctity of marriage. They don't mind what marriage is...this is the reason why there are couple separated or go into divorce... Marriage should be treat as divine

Marriage means more responsibility, more happainess if you find the right person. So my opinion is knowing about ourselves better and improving our love abilities, then just get married when we're ready.

yah, you right...thats common happen... when i saw couple that adore each others...then after married they become stranger again...the worst could happen is cheated....some of them divorced...but some others stand but cant feel comfortable for each other... ...im upset..and afraid...is every mariage will end up like that...is there any mariage cant stand till the end do us apart...how about love and adore they have before..where all of it had gone...even we still find a happily ever after story that they can make it till end... some old man/women said, mariage is too long for the name of love...love only stay for 3 years...and after it, just commitment that you have.... mariage...you have to combine not only two souls, two though, two wishes, two wills, two selfishness wich clash each other...and getting worst when third-party come...it could be parents...others relatives..or cheat in my though, if you a married person or ready for mariage...you have to throw the selfishness...because tomorrow will not only about you..but about your partner...about your parents...about his/her parents...about your/his/her relatives...about your childerns respect, loyalty, and honesty are the most important things. but yeah, i will marry one day, planning it when im ready :D

I think before getting married you have to be really sure you want to get marry with that person, since i think marriage is no joke, it's a serious wonderful thing. I also believe their is no such thing as a "perfect marriage" of course all relationships have problems and all they need it's effort to go through it since love it's already there. I heard many times that when you get marry things change( such as love minimize) I believe if that happens it's because the relationship it's not putting effort into it. I have heard this quote so many times : "Love it's beautiful, but it's too long" that's what messes it up. I believe love is beautiful but and long too but that's the point of marriage to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. My boyfriend and I are planning to get married we are both really sure about it were just not okay financially that's what it's stopping us from getting married right now, but i know i won't regret it, like the bibble says : Love never fails. -1 Corinthians 13:8
