my parents got me married at a very young age and after 9 years of bad marriage it ended.since then i got the idea that marriage is just a piece of paper and it does not guarantee the bond between two people nor how long the relationship will last.and i definitely dont want to get married anymore.but as i grow older i feel im having this longing of being married.so i guess it is the feeling of security that makes us want to get married.security in a way that, emotionally and physically you belong to someone,no matter what happens there is someone there that u know will never leave you,the feeling of being owned and loved and the security of having a family.

I personally like the idea of marriage. I usually joke with girls I meet, that I will have a baby with them and then get married. Yeah, I wouldn't know though, I was never married, so maybe that's why I want to get married.

Getting married should not only be the reason because your religion says so or that your parents want it for you, but because you and your partner would like to commit yourselves to one another for life.

I agree with you. The feeling of being secured matters to us. Many people get married but ending up with divorce because they don't feel 100% secured. It's a good feeling that there is someone in this world who is willing to love you for the rest of your life and will give you everything you need. I'm not referring to material things though but all things that will give you satisfaction and happiness. I hope you'll find a good husband in the future. Goodluck. Happy mylotting.

IM married, I have been with my husband 5 years and we have been married 2 and a half years, it's beautiful, the most amazing feeling in the world and I wouldn't change it for anything. I've always wanted to be married and dreamed about it since I was a little girl. I guess if you findthe right person it's perfect.

I hope to get a beautiful marriage as you ,however i was always worring about my boyfriend,as he cannot forget his first love all his lifetime,i care this so much so each time i thought of this i felt so sad,even i want to eradicate all his memory of that girl,how i wish i was his first love

Im sorry that you are in a situation like that emmadaydayup,but im also sorry to say this but u dont have to compete with that first love of your boyfriend.maybe he is not ready to take her out of his system thats why he cant enjoy your love and forget the past.perhaps he is not ready to let go.you have to think it clearly because its unfair for you,you are giving him all your love and he is still living in the memory of the past.relationships shouldnt be one-sided.i hope he will think it over before he wake up one morning and realize you are not there.

Yeah your comments make sense. Either way though whether a person is married or just in a relationship for a long time there is no guarantee that it will last forever. We all hope that when we get married that it will but people do change and grow apart. That is why it's a good thing to wait until we are older when we are sure of what we want out of life and they are as well.

I completely agree with you. I wish I had waited until I was older. I was young when we got married and now we are starting to have different goals because what he thought he wanted when we first got married is not the same now. So it is definitely true that with older age is more knowledge and understanding so that is a good time to get married.

yeah,marrying at an older age makes a difference i think coz you both have wider knowledge of what it takes to be a married person.emotionally,physically and financially prepared.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Every lady wishes to be married by the man they love.Me also, I wish to be married someday with my man and build our own family. I agree with you with your thought that if you are married, a feeling of being owned, secured and loved is there.Mostly married couples are not perfect but it depends on both of them how to work and fight for it.

Hi gra! You guess it rightly that when you are married you feel a kind of emotional and physical security. You know there is someone to look after you in case of need and there is someone with whom you could share your joys and sorrows. No one of us is perfect so most of us would conclude that our marriage is perfect. However, we need to live with imperfectness to sustain our married life. Those who always look for complete perfectness in life always feel disappointed in life.

you are right,noone is perfect,not even relationships but if two people are willing to live with that imperfections and try to make things perfect for them,then it is right,and i know for sure that the relationship will last a long time.

The feeling of knowing you find your place in the world, like the feeling you get when you go home . Having someone that love you and there for you even if the rest of the world is against you . The love you share and marriage is the physical part of the commitment for the world to see , that you love that person with your entire soul . I am not referring to bad marriage because that is more a joke that a union make with love .

Dude whatever it was done with you it was totally wrong because in my point of view each and every this has to done on time either studies or making life decisions like marriage because your may be very young at time of your marriage so in that case you were unable to understand the meaning of marriage because it is a part of life everyone need a security for a living life and without partner it is not possible so you to think again to bring a life partner for your whole life think it and take care of yourself.

She left you. So just forget her. She was not applicable for you. I think you will be able to discover your own partner if you want and look for. Marriage is a culture in greater India. And we respect marriage as a part of life. We have a believe that every adult should get married and no adult should ignore it. We usually regard an unmarried man as unsocial one or kinda odd. Anyway stil you have a positive outlook about marriage. Yes I feel a security of having a trusted parner who wont never leave me in all my well and woe, I feel a security of gaining a generation who will representative on behalf of me and who will look after in my old age. I would like to advise you will see the girl whom you will marry must match with your outlook. Because equality of outlook is the first and major sign of sustainability of a marriage. Stay fine.

Hi friend, Marriage is a great relationship between the couples, and it gives bond between a man and a woman whoever involved in the married relationship. But now a days, most of the people don't give importance to marriage relationship and applying for divorce for silly reasons. Some others are not interested in getting marriage and following the living together trend, due to this kind of people the real value of marriage is decreasing in day by day manner. Different kind of people is having their own definition and views about marriage. For me, marriage is a great relationship which ties the couple. It is a great bond between the couples and both of them must give importance to the relationship. In the marriage relationship both of the couple is having equal importance, no one is superior and no one is inferior. Give equal importance to the partner to live successful married life. Marriage requires good understanding between the partners and both of them have trust, mutual understanding as well as become loyal to each other. Couples must avoid the EGO clashes in their relationship and consider their partner as their better half and give equal importance to them. Don't try to hide anything from your partner and try to adjust with your partner. Always be frank to keep your relationship for a long time. Avoid unwanted quarrels and clashes, if you have kids surely you must avoid fighting in front of the kid. Compromising with our partner will help us to achieve a lot of things in married life. Always try your best to compromise with your partner. If they are wrong, show it to them in a normal way and try to made them to realize their faults. Mistakes are quite common to every one, so don't give more importance to silly mistakes and advice your partner to avoid their bad things and habits in a friendly way. Marriage relationship is the beginning to all other relationship, we must give a lot of importance to it and made it to be more stronger with our activities. Understanding, adjustments and compromise will help you to keep a married relationship for a long time without any issues.

well it is good and it is done to unite a man and a women and then they have a family and spend their life together. this is the meaning of marriage but now it works in a very short cut way. if there are differences then they just opt for divorce. This is the latest trend.. woohoo what a life.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead..

I can understand your feeling about marriage after seeing the marriage of your parents failed. My parents are also divorced but not because their marriage didn't last, mine will too. We cannot hate marriage because of other's experience. Maybe it's not a guarantee that this marriage will last but it can last, right? Don't be afraid to take chances and gamble to be happy. After all, nothing in life is certain. You're right, it's the security and being feeling loved by someone that make people want to get married. I wanted to get married to feel that I can be special to someone and the idea that I'm not going to grow old alone. It's the idea of a loving partnership and sharing your dreams with.

Isn't it nice to know that someone will always stay by your side even if you're already old? Somehow marriage is like that, to have someone to grow with. Someone to share your overflowing happiness with. That's why they said love is sharing. Makes me remember the song Grow old with you. :3

It's not just a piece of paper, unless you think it is. To someone who has a high regard for marriage, it is very important. A sacred trust. A life long pledge. A commitment forever. Now if you get married, and you, or your spouse, doesn't think very highly of marriage, well then yeah... it's just a piece of paper, and you'll end up divorced soon. But of those people who really believe marriage is for life, and it really means something, generally those marriages last forever. I think the worst aspect is those that don't get married. If you live with someone you are not married to, you might as well get ready to be hurt. There is a chance that marriages will fail. But living with someone unmarried, guarantees the relationship will fail. Just get ready, you'll be alone and broken soon.

hi, you got the answer already , yes they need security emotionally and physically. Still there are people who spend life with our marriage. Every thing depends on the individual interest we should know what we want in life. Nothing is wrong and right its our personal interest which is more important.

Oh. It is sad to hear that your marriage didn't work out after 9 years, but look it at the bright side, atleast you were out of that agony. I think marriage is a bond between lovers having the right to be each other forever with the guidance of God. Most of us are really longing for marriage specially if the love is true, you would like to have that guy or gal forever, right? Yes, you will really feel secure and you are already sure that there will be someone who will be with you when you grow old. Best of luck if ever you will be married again. This time, be sure that the person is really right for you. Take care a lot.

I am not married yet but I wanted to get married in the future and the reason why is because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Yes, we could spend our lives together without getting married and that our marriage could fail at some point in the future. But I think marriage improves our chances:it forces you to think hard about the future and make a decision to commit to the other person. And some of us believe, very deeply,in marriage as a religious sacrament and in the spiritual bond that occurs as a result. Different reasons depend on circumstances. Most of all we get married because we LOVE that person and we wanted it to be legal.

Now you have matured. You want to get someone you want in your life and not like the arranged by your parents. You have now the opportunity to choose. Yes, as we tend to get older we long for companionship and care from the person whom we trust and we love and whom we think we can stand until the end. Yes. go and be married again.
