what does marriage bring to us ? today,me and several friends are talking about this. some said,marriage brings us babies (lol..) ,some said marriage brings us lonely because they have a long-distance marriage,their partner go to business trip so often.other said it brings us responsibility and duty,it teaches us how to be a good wife/husband,how to play our society role well. marriage makes me from a naive girl to a mature adult,it completes my life,brings me happiness/sadness/hopeness etc. what do you think ? what does your marriage bring to you ?

I'm not quite sure either since I am still single and I don't plan to marry anytime soon. Though it is evident that marriage brings a lot of changes in our lives that it can be overwhelming for us. It is a challenge to be married. I really respect those people who stayed through all the good and bad and still remain a happy family. I wouldn't marry if I was not ready. We marry the one we choose, the one we love, the one who respects us and loves us back. Marriage is a serious commitment, no amount of excuse will be good enough if anyone cheats.

marriage sounds so scare,right ? that's true,it changes our life totally.But it's great there is a person share life with you,accompany you .my suggestion is donot rush into any marriage,go for it until you are ready,as marriage means a lot of responaibilities.

Marriage is scary, people made it even worse when there are so many bad marriages going on around. That is why I sometimes wonder why young females want to jump into marriage the first time they get? They must be so naive or so in love and crazy. I will remember that, thank you. I'd rather avoid trouble whenever I can. It's great to be single, as well.

From a couple with a perfect marriage, they might respond as " it made them whole as a person". And for those couple who are in a not so happy relationship, they might respond as " it is a problem that they have to endure all their lives". For me, honestly, I have stayed to give my kids a family.

for me marriage brings us lots of responsibilities, being married it is our duty to be a wife to our husband and a mother to our children. it is great but hard at the same time..it enables us to learn more about life and responsibilities..

I'm not married, so I don't know for sure. I think, for me, it would bring an even greater bond, more responsibilities, a more serious feeling to my life and a great feeling that we have eclared in front of everyone that we are married. Of course it would bring some problems as well, living together (I mean, I'm gonna live together with my boyfriend before weddingm, but I feel it's gonna feel different), getting accustomed to things...

Marriage is a great turning point in our life. It brings various things to us. After my marriage i get a beautiful lovely wife and 2 cute sons. I am very much responsible and take a lot of care about my family.

forget about the bringing forth of children,the most important thing in marriage is that it's ordained by god.

i am not sure i have never been married ever in my life.. but i guess it is commitment and responsibilities. unlike when unmarried, one can just go without any problems of asking permission to someone. if one makes decisions then no one needs to ask the opinion of others because that's it. maybe it is happier to have a partner.. or maybe not. depends on the situation perhaps

well, I wish if I could be single and happy like before in my life.. my marriage has bring me only to give birth to a child that I did not want it to happen as I could understand guilty of my husband and for that marriage has made me in force of living with the man that I did not want and for that has blow out my happiness and chances in my life... I have seen my relatives all are happy in their marriage as men in my country are too caring about their wife and they behave so soft and kind with ladies but my husband is not from my country , so this marriage bring me lonlyness and all sorrows, sometimes I feel if he is a real evil and has made my life that dark..

Since you mentioned that man doesn't want to divorce with you, do you have a job or earning ? if so,i think you can start to save money,if you alreay have money,than you can start to pack,wait for the good chance to escape from your husband's home ,then go back to your country. or you could ask help from your friend or family ,is that possible ?

For me, it is really a test in life. I was married 5 months ago. My husband is jobless for 4 months already. His ex-boss is a womanizer. He asked my husband to leave so that his girl friend can work in his company. That woman knows nothing about publishing. My husband tries hard to look for jobs but he has his ambitions and he hopes to start a new magazine with some partners. As a wife I want to support him but at the same time I feel sad because I have to be the one works day in day out. There are a lot of strains in our relationship. My married life is worse than my single life.
