As a product of a broken home,sometimes i wonder why people get into the so called contraption called marriage,if there is no mutual love between the parties,or does the love dissapears immediately a couple says,I DO.
I ve known of a couple who were living in peace and harmony but when the girl insists on them getting married,eveything came crashing down like a pack of cards,they did not spend more than two months together after geting married but they were living peacefully for more than five years before the so alled marriage,what do you think is responsible for this?

I don't think it is. I live with my partner without having gotten married and it's treated as exactly the same. We are on each other's insurance, we both have rights to the house and we will get each other's pension if anything happens.
Marriage certainly isn't necessary for us.

marriage in life is not an absolute necessary as we know so many saints, monks and sadhvis, fathers and nuns who live their life without getting themselves in the institution of marriage. but their objective is different and if you think u can not do without having a constant support for a entire life or believe in the sanctity of marriage then you should definitely go in for a marriage

Marriage becomes a total commitment and responsibility. It scares people off, unless they are so in love, and have no fear of it not working. Living together is more carefree. An attitude if it doesn't work out, so what, we will part. Once something is legal, people feel differently.

marraige is the only thing which we dont fail to do without any compulsion, but feel later for the mistake committed

I don't get why guys freak out when a girl suggests marriage. Maybe they don't truly love the girl. I really can't explain why marriage would effect a relationship so much. I guess it's not an absolute necessity depending on who you are. For me it is, because I have wanted it all my life, and I want children, but don't want children with no husband. But whatever floats your boat I guess. It's sad that the divorce rate in the U.S. is over 50%. Scary!

Guyz are usually afraid of the long time commitment,and some ladies change like the chamellion,after the guy says :I DO.
Thanks for your response
