The meaning of marriage has shifted tremendous. In the past people had little choice, once in you were in for life, even if it got seriously bad. In those days its meaning was mostly societal and religiously based. Now... we have free choice! And with that comes a learning curve since we have not had that free choice and free will for thousands of years. So it's in its infancy, we are in 'relationship & marriage infancy'. It means we now have to find out how we want relationships and marriage to be, and we can shape that now without church & societal pressure. Great! And sad most don't see or understand just how great that is. We are free, but it's almost like most prefer the be back in the shackles because then they think they have more security and control. What we can have now is LOVE. Choosing to stay with someone every single day because we love them and choose to be with them. Basically with this we can go back to pre-Christian and pre-patriarchal times and make bonds and connections from love and respect and free choice. Now we have to learn to keep and make it great since we can no longer lean on the church and societal pillar of 'no way out' and thus not having to give a chit. If someone now bleeps up, it will fall apart. So... to me marriage would be making a commitment from deep love and desire to spend my life with the man. And not because I have to but because I'd want to and choose to. Because I'd have this deep intense desire to be someone's wife and partner in every sense of the word, including being officially his wife. |

Most marriages are not successful!! According to what evidence? Marriage & divorce Marriage & divorce Marriage and divorce are both common experiences. In Western cultures, more than 90 percent of people marry by age 50. Healthy marriages are good for couples’ mental and physical health. They are also good for children; growing up in a happy home protects children from mental, physical, educational and social problems. However, about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce. The divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even higher. Adapted from the Encyclopedia of Psychology "According to the CDC, the divorce rate in the United States is 3.2 per 1,000 people." I think this is per year. |

I am sure dogs give you that sense of being needed and belonging. You will live forever....if you give up smoking. You have a wonderful heart, do not pretend otherwise!!! Oh and f**k you, for the "Gnome" reputation of being an as*hole. Love you buddy . |

I have no idea what the US government does that interferes with people's marriages, but over here marriage is 2 people, not with a 3rd party -government- in it. |

I could agree with you IF the government stayed out of marriage but they won't and never will. They see it as their duty to protect incompetent people! Hmm... I have no idea what the US government does that interferes with people's marriages, but over here marriage is 2 people, not with a 3rd party -government- in it. The same is true in the USA. Some parties just have a sulking attitude when it comes to marriage. |

My first guess ...
would be the vows you take with one another ... and try and live by them ... good luck !

Obviously several of you have not gone through a divorce where the courts took a large share of what you worked most of your life for and gave it to someone who contributed nearly nothing! Add in the rip off lawyers and it all leaves a very bitter aftertaste. If there are financial resources within a marriage irregardless of who contributed them, the courts (state) want to make sure the least capable has a substantial portion of the assets so the state will never have to support them. A part of the social welfare system!!!!

Meaning of marriage? I agree some choose poorly. I chose poorly. But, my marriage wasn't bad. It turned bad after 24 years of happiness. Shid happens. People change. Marriage is supposed to mean "I choose you over all others. You are my best friend and sometimes I don't know where I end and you begin. We will share life together till one of us dies and then our memories will keep the love of the other in our hearts till death. Together, we are whole." |
