Marriage

[Master Replicator]

I think it is the best thing a man and wife could do!


*piece of paper!

 

[~Void~]

I think marriage is an excuse for your wife to bitch at you even more when you break up.

 

[LightBloOD]

in my opinion this is the best way to show that your lifes are one

Second.

All though it is nice if you have a rich partner

Can I get a "Divorce Money FTW!"

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Guys, go have a marriage that'll last for 35 years and then divorce, she can't sue you and take away the house.

Or was it <35 years?..

 

[~Void~]

Lol, a divorce after 35 years would be stupid. By that time you'd be a dried out old bag and could never get another woman.

 

[En_Fuego]

I believe marriage means something more than just a piece of paper.

Sadly, the direction of people who marry and then divorce really cause me to believe otherwise.

 

[DarkePacific]

This is a strange question to ask, I'm not sure how to answer, but you should make careful considerations before you marry someone. You should be sure it is what you really want.

Obviously you don't know any rich people =P

 

[~Void~]

Ok, so you'd get a gold digger, even more reason to hate marriage or relationships in general.

I think the point here is that marriage should be something more than a piece of paper, but in modern society it isn't.

 

[Belgarath]

I find the comments of void rather saddening. If you marry a woman, you SHOULD love HER, not the piece of paper. I think it's a good thing and the people that are mature enough (as in, know it's not a bond to a piece of paper) to respect it as an important bond of soul are good people IMO.

 

[~Void~]

Well just because my comments shouldn't be true doesn't mean they aren't.

 

[Gilles]

Marriage is a sacrament that binds a man and woman together. The paper is proof of the marriage because we humans like documents. We like visible proof of things.

 

[PurplePoot]

It's hardly (well, it isn't) religious any more. Anyhow, you'd think people would think before they married, but it's their choice. I suppose a certain percent of them are unforseeable.

Far too many people go into it thinking the other person will change, or has changed forever.

And it's still religious for me.

 

[PurplePoot]

I mean more on the level of society.

And indeed about the comment as to going into it. That, or they just haven't lived with the person and thus don't know their quirks well.

Honestly, living with someone is not always a great gauge for marriage. If you think about it, living together before marriage started to become more and more common at the same time the divorce rate went up; so do you think it's a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. I personally think it's one of the reasons.

 

[annoying]

Marrige is sacred, it doesn't matter if it is religious or not. You should still honor it, and only get married if you love the one that you are marrying. Otherwise it is just pointless, imo.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I got a saying and it's:

''Verliefd, verloofd, verloren.''​

Translation of it:

''Love, engaged, lost.''​

 

[Volvox]

Well, you don't really need the piece of paper if you really love someone. I guess i see it as a shitload of useless paperwork. What matters is between you and the person you love, not on that paper anyway. Well, most of the time...

 

[brad.dude03]

The problem is that people are rushing into marriage, or marrying for the wrong reasons. That's why divorce is so retarded. You have to find someone that perfectly complements you, an exact opposite, really, to counterbalance your life.

Once you find this person, it's basically like you've found your other half, you do everything together and you actually want to. You love working as part of a team, and you've got the perfect team mate for any job.

That's what marriage is really about. Don't believe me? I've seen it.

 

[Volvox]

But life ain't fair, not everyone always finds his/her other half. People need love and if they know of nothing better, they'll go for what they think is best.

 

[Grim]

Marriage is definatley a sacred thing!
I feel that if I fail to marry in my life... then I have EPICALLY FAILED.

 

[Volvox]

A failed marriage is a greater fail than no marriage at all.

 

[Grim]

Yes ofc... I wouldnt have epically failed even if i had a divorce

 

[HappyTauren]

A failed marriage is a greater fail than no marriage at all.

Not exactly, in some theories it is always better to not be alone.

Erm,

Definitions of sacred on the Web:

• concerned with religion or religious purposes; "sacred texts"; "sacred rites"; "sacred music"
• worthy of respect or dedication; "saw motherhood as woman's sacred calling"
• consecrated: made or declared or believed to be holy; devoted to a deity or some religious ceremony or use; "a consecrated church"; "the sacred mosque"; "sacred elephants"; "sacred bread and wine"; "sanctified wine"
• hallowed: worthy of religious veneration; "the sacred name of Jesus"; "Jerusalem's hallowed soil"

etc.

While one of the definitions agrees with you, the vast majority which don't make it pretty clear sacred is a religious term.

But yes, I know what you mean to say, and I'd agree, but you can't force people to do what you choose in a free society.

But that's the problem. People think you have to like each other at all times, but you won't always "get along". You will fight, you will get mad, and you just have to stick it out because you truly love the person. Love isn't feelings and emotions, it's being there for the person when you don't want to be. True love is when someone gives totally of themselves to the other person. This is the mistake people make. Love isn't gooey feelings. That's affection, which is good, but it's not love. Love is a choice, and a commitment.

 

[brad.dude03]

Obviously, relationships where the couple gets along perfectly at all times are always hollow and fake.

It's the opposites that attract, and you wont suddenly agree on everything just because you're in love, and that's a good thing.

I agree! I think successful marriages should have there own problems and arguments... It should show that the couple can get through difficult times together.

Last I heard, it's approximately 5 positives to one negative for a stable marriage.

On a slightly unrelated note, it's kind've funny to have a bunch of teenagers debating about marriage.

 

[BoneBreaker]

What is this... marriage? Do I get cookies from it!?

 

[En_Fuego]

No cookies...or is it no sex?

 

[Master Replicator]

Marriage is great. Find the one you love marry them and have a great life its not difficult but let your heart decide you mind is primal and only thinks about sex whatever you do dont marry for sex or looks!

I'm technically not a teenager.
Although I admit it's funny.

 

[annoying]

I'm probably never going to get married, due to the fact that people like me aren't allowed to get married where I live...
























Just kidding, not gay!

 

[Master Replicator]

LOL nice joke anyway

 

[DarkePacific]

It has different meanings to everyone

 

[Hakeem]

one of the definitions agrees with you

Then you know which one he was using.

And "true love", no less.

Copious amounts.

Yeah. I find it funny when people talk about society as if it's global.
