Bleighton Messter star of gossip girl was quoted in an interview "No" when asked if she'd ever walk down the aisle. "if it was important to somebody i loved, maybe i'd think about it. but i don't think i'm not the type. it's not for me. i believe in love, children and being a good person, i wouldn't mind living together but eventually i have to get a separate house for my shoes. " do you guys think marriage still work in today's society? do you think its just a piece of paper?

Marriage is beneficial for women and responsibility for a men,but its a beautiful relation too so you cannot replace marriage with dating by any mean,Married people are blessed by GOD and they sustain there love throughout there lives despite dating is an adapted culture derived from Animal societies in Jungle where every thing is just necessity not love,affection,memories,respect as human emotions do.....!

I am not talking about mostly,but Generally women are not capable to do outdoor works and there performance is vulnerable during pregnancy,monthly cycles & while nursing it is also the fact that women can handle households more efficiently then man as a whole.so you cannot deny the facts for womens weaknesses allow her to be stronger then man. The relation of Marriage is purely natural and it will be necessary forever to maintain healthy society instead of Animal culture in which man and women dates for a time being then most of the man changes there bed partners as they get a chance for another but women have to bear her children alone...do you think this is a good culture.?

beneficiasl for women? how can you say so? well, i don't think that marriage is beneficial for women especially in today's society. It is a responsibility to both men and women. Especially in today's society where most women hold higher position, which means women earn more. There are even men who just stay at home, I think HOUSEHUSBANDS as what there called are getting bigger by the number,.

i think it would depend on how someone value the sacred sanctity of marriage. if one do not give much importance on it, i think, there is no use for her/him to go into something which doesn't have any significance. but as for me, i really value the importance and sanctity of it. and i am ready to give everything, as in whatever it takes to save the marriage from being broken.

Well maybe I am a traditionalist that is why I still feel that marriage is important for me. I feel that things are a bit organized when you settle down with your partner. And if things do not go well in it, it should be settled the best they could. Many failed marriages could be save but because both wanted easy way out they really do not think saving it.

i agree with you on your point of view,. yup i do think that if the couple did decide to be married then they should commit themselves on that agreement and work on it. it was after all an agreement bounded by the law and made in front in god

marriage is important according to me.. its for the society and for yourself.. its a security.. easy to say that its not needed but still one cannot live happily without it.. they tend to face many problems..

how can you say that one is not happy without it? I'm not being negative but a number of marriages end up divorced right?

Well for me marriage is still important even in this generation they are not following it, why? There are people who thinks that if they get marry they are unable to be with other people (how crazy!!!) but for me you marry the person because you love the person and you want him or her to be part of your life forever so I don't know why some of my friends who got married are still cheating on their spouses. It is really not normal to act like this as they promise in front of God that they will spend the whole life with them. So marriage is still important for me.
