as time goes by many things have improved. much advances have happened in a lot of aspects of how we live our life. technology, medical advaces, inventions that makes life easier and the list can go on and on but it seems to me that "marriage" is something that has lost its essential meaning... people get married and get divorced, separated or just be with someone else... how do you really value marriage now a days that oor world has been modernized...

To me marriage is a relationship between 2 people who are best friends and want to spend the rest of their lifes together.

Thank you for a very substantial discussion. For me, marriage is a sacred covenant of two people united by God. It is very important to me, I may have done mistakes from the past like being pregnant outside marriage but I chose not to be married with the wrong person. I know that I will be making a bigger mistake if I got married with someone I don't really love. I chose to stay as a single mother disregarding what people around me are saying.

Marriage is just paper if forced. It is not necessary but will be great to be married. Love should be the reason nothing else.

We should embrace change because change is inevitable. But with this, we must also learn to prioritize things. Being busy with work is a common thing. Why do we work? Isn't it for our spouse and children? what's the use working too hard if your marriage is no longer existing because of your lack of time to nurture it?

marriage is unification of body, soul and mind between two lover... the perfect unification will make happy marriage and if unification walking isnt as it should be than the marriage will be unhappy.. hopefully your marriage will be a happy marriage

About mrriage,I have always been traditional.In my opinion,if two people really love each other,they will tolerate each other.And forgive each other's mistakes.Will never separate.

Marriage is still the formality of being in love,that you have to hide in a safe place the documents of being a married person.Other people do not believe in the sanctity of being married because you have all the rights to all the aspects of all the properties of both partner,that whatever happens to the marriage both have the equal share of whatever they have made as married couple.

To me marriage these days isn't always about two people being in love like it should be but some times two people that believe there are in love or are wanting to be together for other reason then wanting to be together. When I got married almost 3 years ago I meant what I said in my vows. I married my husband because I love him and wanted to be with him. I believe our love is strong enough to make it throw any thing that comes away and some couples just don't have that streath.

Marriage is a symbol of your commitment to the other person beyond the boundaries. Regardless of what is about to follow there are extreme exceptions; you fully commit yourself to that person and will always stand by their side.

Marriage is essential for women (me). It is my warranty that if it did not work, then I have something to get from my spouse in return. (of course that's the naughty part of me). In reality, it is really essential because it is a bondage, a promise to commit. somehow it is good to have such reminders that you are committed to another person.

yes,you are right,marriage was changed its means as time goes by.in different country there were differents changed.the high divorce rate.I think this change as someone want to need more,they has lots opportuniy,especially to the rich.Even though marriage is needed by everyone,because they need love,accompany,attention,and so on.that is marriage value forever.
