what do you think about marriage?

slaps	you need to get a grip. Maybe you could focus this question a little, so people have more of an idea what you are asking about?

pmay	There isn't enough space here to answer that, but it is a tough roe to hoe.....

Concerned	personally, i think that its hard to even make marriage last these days. i dont know how people do it.

FRANCO II	Marriage is the beginning of all misery for a married couple ! Best way to avoid it is by not getting married.

#1SoxFan	It's a sacred commitment between a man and a woman who could not imagine living without the other. I think it's a wonderful thing and a blessing!!!! Hope that helped!

Another Way to See it	Marriage is a great institution but who wants to be committed to an institution

Amanda E	I used to be against it. Like a commitment issue, untill i recently started dating my soul mate. He completely changed my mind and i never thought that would happen

PIXIE	i think it shows commitment, but in a very expensive way. if you want to get married, do an all inclusive trip so everything is covered in 1 cost.

Never wanted something so much ever!	I think it's the greatest connection ever. It's the highest form of loving someone....confessing in front of your family/friends that you love them and that you want to vow to spend the rest of your life with them. Thats beautiful.

jviver	What's the point? Hardly anyone values marriage. "Till death do us part for as long as we both shall live." Who does that anymore? Unless you're willing to spend your lifetime giving it everything you got then don't bother.

Amy Eve	I never thought it was important or something I would do but now I feel as though it might be pleasant... But I do think it is bogus though! I am cynical about marriage / loyalty / fidelity... I wouldn't go into marriage thinking it was going to last forever :P

Mr.Cool	Well, it's said that marriage is an institution, right? And love is blind...So, that means marriage is an institution for the blind.

RedRabbit	I think marriage is for people who only want to get married. I'm getting married and I want to be married. I know some people who should never get married and thank god they don't ever plan on it because it would only end in disaster.

superman_stow	I used to think it was a great ceremony that was worth everything. But now, I think it is all a gimmick and a money making scam! Just to show people your committed and love eachother you have to spend 30g's! CRAZY!! Who knows though, I might change my mind again.

tea ali	A marriage is what each couple makes of it...what we bring or allow into it. If you go into it with an attitude of selfishness, not willing to 'give and take' on some things, it probably won't last. You should know the character of the person you're considering marrying. You should be proud to stand next to them, whatever they do. They should be a good example of 'manhood' or 'womanhood' to future children. 9 times out of 10, the problems and bad habits are there before we marry and we choose to ignore them, hoping that signing that certificate will somehow make things change. If you have even a twinge of distrust about the person you're considering, do not do it. For me, it's brought the best times of my life, but also some of the worst. With all of the ups and downs, I can still say that I'm glad to be sharing life with my husband (and our kids). As Will and Jada say, "Divorce is not an option" for us.

adrian cosmo pat	It can be the best of times or the worst of times. Overall though I think it's great, but like life, it's always challenging. If you're with the right one though, you can get through anything and you life is enriched because of that love.

wowlolz123	Its just a symbol, you dont need marriage to live with someone you love, in fact, I think that when there is a marriage it makes the couple feel that the "marriage" string is holding their weights, and through time it breaks "divorce".

Lagore Kah	I have been married for 7 months now and thinks it's great. It is def. not easy all the time but if you have good communication and work through your problems the right way it works out. I love being a wife..but wouldn't recommend getting married if have any doubts.

Anna J	It is great.. if it is with the right person. I am a little jaded now.. going through a divorce.. i would like to think i will find "the one" someday.... but right now.. i could care less... But please.. please please... know for sure before you get married that this person is the one...

Kaylynn	wow... seems im the ony one that feels this way... But i think its a huge blessing to find " The One" guy that you want to spend the rest of your life together. Ive only been married for 3 years but im soo happy. Me and my Husband get along great most of the time but id be lying to you if i told you it was easy. because its not always that easy. but its worth it. i couldnt see myself with any other guy. What ever your decision i hope its the right one for YOU.

Otter	No matter which 2 people you are talking about, it takes work. Regardless of your religious beliefs, people are imperfect and it takes effort to bridge the gap that naturally forms once those dating sparks wear off. But like all the best things in life, you gotta work for it, and it's worth it.

Dadintrouble	Hardwork, understanding that its not a like it is in movies. General understanding, Forgiveness, communication and sharing similiar core values. If both you and your partner have these, you will spend the rest of your lives as content spouses and bestfriends, and it will be the greatest thing you ever known.

B-Rabbit	I love being married. What is simply a piece of paper to some, is actually a solemn testament of your commitment to the person who completes you. It means there are know easy way outs. It means you believe enough in someone that you are willing to entrust your entire life to them, and they are willing to do the same with you. Sacrifice and hard work, yes sometimes, but worth it? Absolutely. The love of my wife and the good times we have together far outweigh any of the bad. I take my vows seriously, if everyone did, there wouldn't be divorce.

Ask, Answer, Discover	Depending on how you view it, it may be a beautiful thing or not. I think marriage is great, because it strengthens a relationship, but you have to remember it is just a title, husband and wife. The real thing is the connection and the love the two share with each other! Hope this helps, Jam

volleyball.luva	i think that everybody has some need for another OF THE OPPOSITE in their lives, and marriage is an amazing thing that helps express that love for one another, in a very commited life long thing. however there are people that think that it's okay to date several people before marriage, but i think that is a very poor choice, and here are my reasons: think of your heart as a perfect rose. and every time that you date someone new, you have to give them one petal.(and you can never get it back) lets say you do that 20 times, until you find the perfect person, well, what can you give him/her? the answer is NOTHING, but the ugly, sad and very damaged core of the rose. and who wants that? NOBODY. just think about that, and let it ponder a little. try to save that gift for your husband, trust me, it's the most rewarding thing in the whole world!

Brooke	I think marriage is just for show, the relationship and the 2 people in the marriage is all that truely matters

winner	There's nothing wrong with marriage. If you and your "soul mate" are dedicated to one another and truly love each other then you both will be happy and work together to make it work. Marriage is a big commitment but it can be one of the best moments and adventures of your life. For myself, i hope to one day get married. Its a part of my life that I really would like not to miss and its something that is indeed possible. But it is something that will be hard and it will take you and your 'husband' to be both responsible and respect one another. You two will become each others first family and best friends.

Justin H	I don't have a problem with the idea of marriage. I've been married and could see myself getting married again if I met the right person. However, I was raised in an environment where divorce and dysfunctional families were the norm. As a result, I don't consider marriage to be that important. I think it's a pipe dream to believe that marriage results in any greater love or security. I also think it's wrong to think a marriage should be saved at all costs, even if it means sacrificing one's happiness.

Angel	Sacred and the most beautiful and powerful thing that can happen to someone. It is all these messed up datings that has taken away the meaning and power of marriage. Family is a very important unit of society. If in our society there was more healthy marriages and families, we would have not had all the kids with too many problems. Look at the number of people with depression and all kinds of disorders. When the bases of a society gets messed up, it affects all the individuals. I really wish that marriage was more powerful and meaningful for people here.
