Marriage

the whole relationship thing is over rated in my opinion.

Probably not marriage but weddings. There's so much social pressure in weddings now. Either it should be unique and spectacular, or must be extravagant. I think I would rather invest on having a lasting relationship than a grand wedding.

To some people being married is important and to others it is not high on their list of priorities. As long as you are happy there is no need to be married. I was married for a long time in a not so good relationship. I finally left. That was quite some time ago now. Now I am engaged to be married. We don't really have a day set. He has never been married before. He said he never met anybody before that he wanted to marry. We will get married some day because it is something we both want.

i dont believe in marriage any more

I think there's a lot of old religious morality in the modern idea of marriage - that we are being controlled by a system designed to keep us meek, controlled, under the thumb. I think it's great to have a special person who looks after you in your day-to-day life and in times of illness/need - but can the human spirit and imagination be bound into exclusive relationships? It's a controversial question and one that my friend and I were discussing the other day. Notice how much money is being spent on weddings nowadays - this whole economy surrounding them - tens of thousands of pounds being spent - all of us being encouraged to "tie the knot", to associate it with romance etc and happy ever afters. Talk about putting pressure on people! I do wonder if we're all being controlled by the Establishment, more than ever before! That said I speak as someone who has been happily married for 27 years, but my marriage is very untraditional in some respects.

No,don't start to believe it. Certainty its not over rated. Now a days its over expected. Though the love is essential but people are missing on respect & understanding & we still are way beyond to trust so its not working but keeping hope its good thing. So cheer....

Give reasons to support your statement. (Oh my God! lol I just felt like I wrote a question for the test papers. ) Still lol reasons are needed ASAP (in your post itself and not in the comment section, most preferably. That way everyone can read and reply accordingly!
