I do not think marriage will ever completely "fade away"; but, I do think there will be many changes to marriage in the future. Many people should not be married and are happiest single; and, the pressure for them to marry will slowly go away. If they later find that special person to share their lives with they can still be free to marry and not be stuck already with someone else in a forced relationship. Mariage will not be something that is "expected" of individuals; instead, it will get back to it's basics - two consenting adults making a public commitment to share their lives with each other.

hello, I think this is just their decision and maybe they did not yet find their true love. And Actually, for me it is depends on the couple if they will keep their love or not. So, it is still best not to hurry love and wait for the one who destined for you.

there are marriages that do not involve love and i guess it is a fact to more of us. and i also believe you will agree with me. anyway, i do believe marriage is not always the answer to true love and true love doesn't always ends with marriage.

Yes! A lot of couples just live together without getting married. I can understand why couples don't want to marry. There are actually more benefits to remain single than to be married. I would like to see marriage make a comeback but I don't think modern times and lifestyles allow it.

With girls and boys financially independent feel that marriage is a great responsibility. Marriage will not fade away as there is still the custom of arranged marriage in India. Money can buy almost anything and that is the factor why poeple prefer to be single. The tolerance level is very less that the boys and girls find it very difficult to adjust nowadays. It is better to be single than to go for a divorce within a year of marriage. You may be well aware that the divorce rate in India is rising to a great extent which is another reason why marriage is fading. Happy mylotting.
