my opinion about marriage

I guess it is a bit subjective. You don't have to marry someone to prove you love them! Thats what I strongly believe. Though as most people have stated people and as your teacher stated as well. Now adays people marry for many more reasons.. Citizenship, money, status, power are a few. But basically thats how life works! I personally think this should not be the case though.. Marriage should be for love, not for all of the above especially when children get involved.

When I got married it was for love but now Im married there is so much more to it than just love.. Its about respect and honesty, making sure that your significant other is always okay, holding everything together... No its not all about money or whatever else.. and trust me you do need love to be married.... but its also that nice feeling you get knowing your going home to your husband and he will always be there no matter what...

In the past I think couples married and stayed together for the rest of their lives. I saw my parents get divorced when I when I was 11 years old. It was quite a shock. My mom kept the house and my dad moved out. He stayed in a nearby area then moved away. My parents had got married in 1964 had my sister in 1967 and me in 1972. Then they got divorced in 1983. I met a man in Australia when I was on my trip around the world and when he came back to England we got married when we had a baby son but we got divorced six years later. People should get married for love, no other reason. However they might find out they are not compatible years later. Divorce is painful, especially for the children. I have heard children take two years of sadness after divorce. These days it is better to live together making it easier and less painful when the splitting up happens. Everyone wants their soul mate but these days this doesn't happen and when it does the couple still end up splitting up.

Different people definitely have different views of marriage. Some people think the stability of money and material are more important in marriages in order to give a good future for their children. But I'm with you as well, I would only marry for love because I cannot see myself sharing my life with someone I do not have feeling with Have a nice day.

I quite agree with your point of view,love each other two should marry,those who say that marriage is a white paper statement is wrong,marriage is a responsibility to reflect,marriage is a reponsibility ,have marriagerelationship of two people to each other,it become the world's most intimate two people,this is a kind of how sacred relationship .

My parents got married seventeen years ago because of love. They are flat broke now, neither of them look great in my eyes, and they have eight kids. If they weren't in love they would hve been divorced a long time ago. I want to have a marriage like theirs someday.

Well I would never get married for any other reason accept love because there's no reason other then love and devotion to marry someone because ultimately a person will only be miserable in a loveless marriage or relationship imagine living with someone for the rest of your life that you dont love, so for me love comes first. As for my general opinion of marriage I have mixed views on the legal union of marriage and maybe I shouldn't have mixed feelings on marriage because my parents raised me with traditional values and taught me that marriage is the right thing to do when your in love and want to have kids, but through the years I've learned that marriage is not a fairytale and it can be really dificult and the expectations in and of marriage can put extra stress on a relationship thats why love its very importaunt, in fact it can be the glue that holds the marriage together. Unless your a person who lives life based on obligations and duty instead of honest caring and commitment to love and family, I'm just not that kind of person, and personally I'm not sure I want to be married from what I've learned so far it seems like drag dont get me wrong I believe in loving someone and being committed and monogamous but aside from the subliminal thoughts brought on by my upbringing I really have no desire to get married but everyone wants to be loved and if I ever get married it would only be for love.

We do all have different opinions about marriage. Are you married? or planning to get married soon? In this way, you will understand better if it was applied for real. Hearsay about marriage can only be proven if you are already in that boat. For me, marriage is sacred and both couples commit their vows before God and must honor it. Broken marriages and vows happen because one party have broken that promise and was not taking seriously the consequence of what it will lead on their family and kids. The devil's target is to get the family broken or apart so that it starts a chain reaction to the society. We should live our life according to the standards of what God has said in His Word. In this way, we obey and follow what is right to get our lives straight and right before God. This is my opinion and I respect if what other's opinion are different from mine.

Marriage is a way of joining two lives together. Marriage has a better success rate when two people marry for love. When you marry for another reason, there is more chance for unhappiness. Marriage is something we hope for a future with. It should not just be a fantasy or obligation.

well, if I were still young I would say I only marry a man because of love. but now since I am not very young and already married, I would say that love is not the key role in marriage but also very enssential. when people get mature, they think in a different way from when they are young. they tend to be much more realistic. but I would say if they first fall in love and then think about some other items like house, car or money, that would be perfect.

I have been married for 34 years almost 35. I married for love. I love my husband more today then the day I married him. Marriage is made of love, trust, faith and respect. That is what I feel that are the key elements of a marriage. No marriage is perfect they all have ups and downs but when it is good it is good but when it is bad you have to work harder to keep your marriage strong. I do not believe in divorce and I think people nowadays end their marriage much to quickly. Marriage is work on both persons part.

well, years ago, people married more because of the material, and they said that 'love will come in time..' that's just non-sense. what will actually happen in time is just the feeling of routine, getting used to the other person. you're used to having that person around and many mistake that for love even though marriage nowadays is not exactly the best way to say i love you, since almost everyone marries right now for various reasons, marriage in its own meaning really is the best way of saying I love you and it should be happening just because of love, and not for other reasons, if you understand what i mean ^^'

I agree, if the couple love each other, they will marry some day. There are too many people that are married but aren't happy, well bad for them, they should think before marrying.
