Marriage Is Like A Cage

may it is true for some, however for me and my hubby we cherish each other company. Marriage has made us more responsible and we cherish this life more after meeting each other.

I'm not married yet, but I think it's the right thing to do at a certain moment in your life, you just have to choose carefully. After you get a job, a place of your own you can start planing your life. I think family should be a part of that plan.

Well I think that quote is just for those who weren't 100% ready when they were married. I think that before you enter marriage, you should be 100% sure and that you should have enjoyed you single life already so that when you get marry, you won't miss single life anymore. That's what happened to my mother. When my mother was single, she had so much fun in her life, she partied a lot, traveled a lot, and just had fun with her friends. At late 20's she decided to get married and she always tells me that she had enjoyed her single life so much and that's what I should do too so that when I get married I won't regret that I didn't do the things I want to do. Even though she doesn't do anymore the things she does when she was single, she never missed it and very much contented with married life.

I believe there are two reasons for this. One is that there is something sick about the human heart that we always think things are so much better somewhere else. Somehow, life would be so great and wonderful... if only we were doing something other than what we are doing. I see this most often in the man or women, who runs off with another person, ditches their spouse, and then 5 years later, does it all over again, because the 'new person' was just as bad as the prior one. No, it's more a matter of you keep thinking things would be better somewhere other than where you are, and it's not true. The other reason is that we have taught people to be children. A thousand years ago, everyone worked. Everyone had responsibilities. Everyone was made to grow up and be and adult. Today, in our day and age, we teach our children to be immature. They grow up without haven't to work. Without having responsibilities. Without being made to be an adult. And they jump into relationship, and suddenly hit a brick wall of responsibility, maturity, adulthood, and having to work. They don't like that. I had one parent say it was morally wrong for her to require her children work. She shouldn't require her kids to so much as pick up their blocks. Perhaps you read the story about the child who called the police on his own mother, claiming he was being forced into slave labor by being required to clean up his room. True story, happened in the UK. Think about that. Children who think it's slave labor to clean up their room. What do you think happens when these babies hit 20-30 years old and get married, and suddenly have a wife who has expectations of them? Fold the laundry?!?! That's slave labor!! I'm convinced these two reasons are why "Marriage is a Cage". Well yeah, if you assume all the birds on the outside are better, and if your goal is to avoid any responsibility, expectations and maturity... well... then yes, marriage is clearly a cage... to you.

I have heard this so many times with my married friends that they regret of being married and some of my friends are just so happy to be married soon. I don't really know which is better but one thing i really want in my life to be married with the man i love and loves me more and have little kids. I just hope to God that time will come. I hope you'll have the best marriage too because there is only two things left for us be married or be an old maid. May God bless us all

How ironic that quote was but it is somehow true. Life is a matter of choice and courage. We decide our dealings so no matter how it feels afterwards, we must keep our composure and be courageous enough to face the situation.

I'm neither bird , I don't ever want to marry. I do see marriage as a cage... match. Each couple is in a wrestling match for power. A war of wills. So by age 13 I decided never to marry and I haven't see anything to change my mind.

i don't know even because i ma not married so may be it is true or probably this can eb true depending on who you marry and so general life together..

It is true because getting into a marriage is so much easier than getting out. I read somewhere that the relationships of long term, non married couples lasts longer than most married couples.

Oh goodness! Another quote that emphasizes negative thoughts toward marriage. I really don't agree with this, nor do I really understand those who don't care for marriage. Marriage has been the best experience of my life...there is something so fulfilling about sharing my everyday life with a man I would give anything for...it's like being a part of a team no matter what happens in life. Of course, I understand that many, if not most, people go into a marriage ignorant as to what to expect. A lot of people want to get married to a perfect person, have perfect kids, and maintain a perfect life, and that's simply not the case. My husband isn't perfect, but I love that his imperfections make him individualistic and stand out above the rest of the crowd. I also love that I can help him overcome and/or deal with his imperfections, as he can with me. Not only that, but we aren't having kids, so we've cut out the majority of what stress and arguments within marriages normally revolve around. In my personal experience...marriage has freed me. I grew up feeling different than everyone else and caged within my own family; here I am now, married to a man who used to be just as much of a loner as I was, who completely understands me, and him and I have the ability to get through anything together. When I was a child I hated men (for various reasons) and swore off marriage...yet, when I found a man who didn't fit society's definition of a man, I realized men could be decent and I wanted nothing more than to go through triumphs and hardships with him. Marriage was the best decision I could have ever made, and I have yet to see why so many people get into it if they aren't prepared.

There are many definitions regarding marriage. Like , marriage is like a piece of sweet who eats it regrets and who does not eats it also regets. Another marriage is like chewing gum at first its sweet and the more you chew it, it becomes sore. But when we have to regret then why not after doing it.

Marriage can be claustophobic if your partner doesn't inspire you. Or maybe two people find they are not as compatible. Trust me, take alot of time getting to know someone before tying the knot. You could be limiting your life if you get with the wrong person. We all one to find that one true love. I'm starting to believe no one can truly cherish and respect you like yourself!

No I do not think that marriage is a cage because it is generally mutual understanding relationship between a man and a woman of living together for ever.Marriage is a legal tie not only for this life but for upcoming seven lives to come.

Yeah... there are some advantages and disadvantages of being married (Sigh). But I think comparing it to a cage is quite too much. Why? If I am a single and seeing a marriage as a cage I will not wish to be inside it because literally speaking no one would like to be caged, right? but if I am a married person, seeing myself inside the cage by being married is like a convict sentenced for life because I choose to be with my loved one is quite a metaphor... hehehe... Yeah, there are some people that would consider this true but not in my case. As long as you married the person you love and before you consider getting married you need to ask yourself if you would like to grow old with that person and if you answered yes then you are ready to go. But if you hesitated even for quite a second, then don't get married, enjoy your being single first. That is just my opinion... :D

At times this quote can be true. However, I believe marriage is a commitment to your spouse. You will be there no maker how good or bad things may get. I know I enjoy coming home to my husband after work. I miss it when he's working a doesn't get home until late. We don't have children so the pets are my only companions and they can only say so much. It's nice to have someone you trust and know they have your back regardless. For the most part, I enjoy marriage and glad I found someone I love. I don't feel stuck or caged. Best Wishes!

Not every marriage is that bad that you want to get out, although I am still happy I did many years ago. As a woman you always have to give in and give up and I learned this is not the kind of life I like or want for me. I need time for me, for my own thoughts, quality time. Now after years I am remarried. My husband is living in Africa I am living in the Netherlands. I am fine with that.
