Why you must marry? I don't think that I fully understand the question. If you are asking if it's right for you and your lecturer to get married then I would have to answer yes if you feel that you and he both love each other and that you want to be married, so I guess in closing my answer is that I'm pro.

To marry or not to marry is the question? Hello friend, The reason why I chose to marry was b/c it was something that I saw my parents had done. I grew up believing that it was the right thing to do if you really loved someone. I realize that some people think that they can still love someone and not marry. But in the country where I live at, that would be illegal to do not unless a person don't care about breaking the law.

Look at time it was the social norm.Now the situation has changed a lot. The conventional idea was there should be a supporting system in your life and it consists of the family, spouse etc. Now many people think we can live alone in life.But it is also said at point in life you will feel lonely.

I think it all depends. I'd be happy not to marry my man, and just live happily ever after with him like we are now - I mean, we are basically like a married couple anyway so a piece of paper and a ring won't change anything for us. However, if he was to propose to me, I would not say no. I'd be happy either way. As long as you're in a loving relationship, I don't think it matters if you get married or not, as long as you're both happy.

Currently, for me, "NO!" As I tell friends and co-workers, "I will never be married - I prefer being merry." Being in a relationship is one thing, but it is obvious, at least in the United States, that marriage is really not that highly rated. They may give it a lot of lip service, but too many end up in divorce, so they who do this obviously did not have the dedication necessary for serious marriage. It is rare to find a couple who married only once and stayed together for life, and I am happy for them, but most of the time, we do not hold that ideal ourselves. I will never marry for the sake of being married. Only if I meet someone that I can dedicate my life to, I will consider it. But no, if that situation does not come to pass, I do not need to get married.

It depends on the couple, I don't think you can make a sweeping statement about how ALL couples should get married or vice versa. While I think marriage can give some stability to a relationship, I think it's more important that the couple love and are committed to each other in the first place. Personally, I don't think I'll ever get married. If someday I meet someone who I love and want to share my life with, we'll just cohabitate. Coming from a dysfunctional family, I personally see marriage as a form of entrapment.

The purpose of marriage is to understand and share the affection to each other for their entire life and to equalize the joys and sorrows of one another. If we do not get married, then our old age life will be quite miserable and we will be in loneliness. So, it is a good thing to marry on the correct age and to lead the good life with our life partner, loving each other and have a good life.

I agree to the marriage. I think at least you are a couple legally. And most of all, when you have your own child. At least the real marriage will have a good effect on the baby. Because marriage not only means love, but also responsibilities. The marriage is not only a piece of paper. It means a whole life promise. I love China

in my country dating and staying together without marriage will not be there, and treated them as illegal thing and many will oppose it also . so when a girl or boy becomes major ,they will get married by their parents .parents fixes matches for their kids ,after searching good spouse for their kids. if a boy and girl loves also,they tell their parents and they do their marriage by their permission . marriage is a necessary for all of us because we can stay together till life long. there will more understandings and responsibilies when they have kids. and give them their name as sur name. they can take equal responsibility towards their kids. the relationship between each other will be increased more and each one can respect each other more ,after marraige. and there will be more security after marriage . and we can't think of other guy . if we have any troubles also after marraige, we can share with each other and can solve it combinely. i like lifetime companion only , and for me i don;t need any dating ,and staying together without marriage. my parents have choosen nice companion for me and we got married and staying together in good manner from 10 years and we will stay like this for life long. we don;t have a thought for other relation . and we hate other relations also.

Just as you have asked in your title, I would ask your lecturer why must we get married in this life. Is there a law that we have to get married? really what is the purpose of getting married in the modern times. For starters there is no law that says that we must marry in this life. Marriage these days really serves no real purpose any more. Just by 2 people living together for a period of time, you are classed as married by defacto. Any body can legally change their name as well. I have a friend that has been with her partner for many years and has children and house together. If they seperate, they could go to court and fight over the posessions like a married couple. Or they stay together, and she wanted her name changed, she could go to a legal office and have her name legally changed without marriage. Marriage to day is just that specially day that the girl feels like a real princess and to get a piece of paper that legally can change her name. I know all about it because I was married 13 years ago.

Getting married depends on an individual. Every person has his own reason. For me I got married because I want to have my family of my own. As God said "go and multiply". I want see how my children looks like!! Besides children take care of parents when they get old. I want to have company, to share my happiness and problems. Though sometimes to care children/husband is difficult but there is always the satisfaction embedded.

Hi Xixi_abby, I am from China. I am not sure about the culture different between western country and Eastern Country. In my country, it seems to me that every girl should get married when they met their Mr. Right and they think they can live with that guy for all of the rest life. If we don't get married when we are oldder, our parents will start worrying about us, they are thinking if there is no other people taken place of them to take care of us, what will hapen when they leave us. Some of the girls get married in China because they don't want their parents to worry about them, it's our culture, i can't tell if it's right or wrong, because different people have different understanding of life. Some people think as long as they are happy with their life, they can live without marriage. So, if you leacturer said the word" MUST", i don't agree,but i know i will get married.

it depends on our purpose of getting married. To have a complete feeling in life we must have a partner. friends & family will go away but your partner will be there with you till your old age.

Well I believe your discussion is based on the definition of marriage. Not the actual paper. So to define marraige is when two people decide they love each other and are devoted to each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. Marriage is also defined by religion as well. Some religions require marriage for the couple to be recognized as one flesh. I personally beleive it is both. One of the responders brought up people living together and having everything a marriage has just no event or papre stating they are so. Well I would have to say aren't they indeed married?
