How many of you feel that there will be a time when people wont marry at all. The commitment, the patience, the level of tolerance is getting diminished day by day. People dont think its necessary to get married to live together. With marriage comes the COMPROMISE. No body likes compromises. Not with the person whom you no longer love. I get a feelin that live-in relations are in .. What about you

There's a lot of adult who are not willing to be committed forever and be tie down to the person they're with. They have this fear of losing their "FREEDOM" and individualism. A lot prefer to the LIVE-In arrangements so that they'll be able to work things out any differences they would encounter. It's easy for live-in partners to get out of the relationship than getting an annulment or divorce. That's why many people are in to the LIVING IN state.

Exactly, FREEDOM and individualism are the key words that plunges any loving couple into Live In relations

If we continue to propagate individualism yes there will be a time when there were will be fewer marriages. But I don't think that marriage is a dying institution. Love supersede all. You often find couples who have been living for some years than finally decide to get married. Perhaps this is bewildering. They are living together having grown up kids, so why marry late in life? The reason must lie because they want to consolidate their experience.
