Do people really need to get married?

Just live together . It is only a piece of paper and a man written law at that. People didn't get married years before man made this law. Then he makes money dissolving the law. What a joke.

Its about commitment rather than the big day - or rather it SHOULD be about commitment - maybe thats why so many fail heh ?? xxx

y_r_all_men_insane

absolutely not and the divorce costs more than the big day in the end

Not in my opinion. I'm glad I was married when I had my daughter because of societal stigmas, but I doubt I will ever do it again.

Necessity?
Well, I've heard that it is possible to have a baby outside of wedlock *(How I don't know,,,d-yuh, uh).

So the human race will continue with or without marriage.

But yeah they should just let people have short term civil unions, and leave marriage to the churches.

Getting married just so you can have the dress, flowers, cake,etc. isn't a reason. What ever happen to love.

They don't "need" to, it's by choice. To each is own.

Well, there's a big TAX break......

Only one opportunity

Hey you don't need to spend a lot of money to get married!!!! and people get married because they love each other very much and they want to share everything even last names?!! anyway! I hope you find the right man/girl some day and enjoy a happy life!!!! good luck!

Just Me

No people don't need to get married. But remember a marriage is more then the "big day". It is everything beyond that day. I eloped and I'd do that all over again.

for better tax breaks yep

Marriage is not about the "big day". It is about a lifetime commitment. Some people thrive in marriage; others do not.

rita_alabama

It's not about the "big day", it's about promising to spend a lifetime with the one you love. Yes, there's a lot of marriages that end in divorce, but that's no reason not to get married.

Do answers really need questions? Do questions really need answers?

NO IT'S NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION

I have no idea why a girl wants to have a 'big show' in a big fancy gown.... I'd rather spend the money on a nice vacation or a house instead of a huge wedding.

Well, I have been divorced and I married again last year. This time it is to my true soul mate and we are very much in love and extremely happy. We both wanted to marry for the ultimate commitment and unity, not for the big day. We married in the spiritualist church and it meant everything to us to have family and friends witness that ultimate union in our beliefs. Marriage is for a lot of things, not just love. There are a lot of people on here who ask if they have any right to the house and contents when their relationship breaks up. The short answer is 'no' because when couples are living together the woman has no rights to anything. So, for a woman, it means financial security too. Also if the couple plan to have children, then it is for the future children's security . Incidentally, my man had nothing, so I didn't marry for financial security! I provided for him!!!

People can get married at the court house. My marriage cost $23. My divorce cost $195. I think each person should decide whether or not they want to get married. There is no should or should not.

lidera

Yes, they should marry or have some legally binding document with serious teeth to legally and financially protect any children that are born from this wedded bliss called love.

lil chris

yo LE iz there someone you wanna get married to??

ladybird

no they do not

ruben p

yes since others may experience true love

rachel d

no its just a bit of paper and a whole waste of money

Jennifer C.

It is the individual's choice on how much they want to spend. No one said it had to be some big expensive event. I think it is a wonderful gesture towards someone you are in love with.

green_eyes

Yes it is. You make it sound like your guaranteeing that your marriage is going to fail, just b/c everyone elses is, and that's not true! Especially if you work at it and have open communication about everything. And love each other unconditionally.

motherkc

it depends upon your financial situation. Some people can afford the expense for their "big day" although they may be in divorce court within 2 years. Personally, I choose to have a private, scared and intimate wedding, I do not need 20 brides maids and grooms present. Unless your last name is Trump, plan an affordable "out-of-pocket" ceremony; and have a lavish honeymoon to remember... (that's probably the only real vacation most couples will get, especially when children are involved). The time and money should be invested in the "marriage" and not the "ceremonial rituals" that only leads to debt...and ultimately divorce.

you don't need a piece of paper or a name change to love someone.. marriage is a big commitment and too many people give in and throw it away when times get tough..can you both handle this ????

A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE IS A UNION OF TWO GOOD FORGIVERS.
