I love being married. However I have friends who has sworn never to get married either again or never at all. Their reason seems simple enough, they are financially independent, they are happy with their life and they don't want the hassle of dealing with divorce, which is (in their opinion) the eventual result. Then there are also couple who's been living together for ages, have kids but never speak of marriage. They say why should a piece of paper makes any difference in how they feel for each other. Do you think marriage is a dying institution? Is it no longer necessary or deemed old-fashioned in today's up and trendy world. Views?

I am happily married but this is my second marriage. I don't believe marriage is dying institution.
People who don't wish to get married shouldn't get married because they don't have the right mindset. In my opinion a lot of marriages fail because most people don't realize that marriage is work. In my relationship we not only love each other, he is my best friend. We have great communication, we solve problems together, we compromise and we enjoy each other's company.
I believe a lot of people today don't want to take the time to compromise and at the first hint of a problem, don't want to work through it because it's easier just to give up.
