is marriage necessary in life?

Answer 1

No.
But if you love someone and want to have a family with that person etc. I would say yes.

Answer 2

its not a must. its more like a norm. its not exactly necessary, specially when now u can have kids in a de facto relationship, and they can still be rescognised as your children, and your de factor partner can still rip u off when u separate as long as u've been with her for more than 2 years and have children... (this is the australian law, dont know about other parts of the world)... but i guess, marriage is a lovely symbol of the union between two people who are in love, its a celebration of that love with your loved ones. marriage are for those who wants to tell the world that they wanna spend the rest of their lives together... its pretty sweet when u come to think of it. not to mention the extra "rights" u have against the other person... oH... and the fact that your kids would have a legally married parents, which is the common stereotype of a proper family. *shrugs* but it really depends on one's own preference. if u dont like the idea, dont get married. otherwise u'll just wind up getting a divorce... and then u'll come back here and ask, "is divorce necessary?" - thats no good. good luck!

Answer 3

Long answer:

Marriage is a societal construct that is used to force monogamy onto people. There are very few animals who are monogamous & humans are very similar. Would it be nice to be married for 20-30 years to the same person, without any instances of infidelity? Yes. Is it possible in this society? I don't know.

Look at all of the political issues right now saying that marriage is only between a woman and a man. Well, if gay people aren't allowed to marry, then it must not be a necessity.

BTW, I really think the gay marriage ban is insane. I think if you love someone & are that commited, you should be able to marry if you want to.

Short answer: No

Answer 4

define marriage? If you mean do you need a little certificate signed by witnesses and a priest or judge saying that you and your spouse are legally married, no.
Howevr, there are many studies that heavily suggest the idea that a person who has an intimate and loving companion to come home to will live longer and more healthily, and the healthier the relationship, the more the increase in longevity. So I would say noone should give up on finding that person who is right for them, but if you dont want to have a ceremony, dont.

Answer 5

today people divorcing as fast as they do then no; no one wants to take the time and work at it they just give up. Marriage isn't necessary, but if you have children and one parent doesn't want to do as much, it might be stressful. I think marriage is good if people live with each other first and work at it and are faithful to one another; but this is asking to much of most people.

Answer 6

if u ask this question prob not-with marriage u have to commit for life, right person or same person for the rest of your life if not you will be asking if divorce is necessary in life,

Answer 7

Some species mate for life so In a sense they "get married" Humans mate for a long time as it takes their young 18 years to reach maturity.. Marriage is supposed to be a commitmant to this long haul. Sadly in many human "matings"it does not work out that way. Society still looks down on people having their child out of wedlock . why? its a helluva burden for one person to take care of their young day after day, year after year.for 18 years and it takes a special person to do that alone.

Answer 8

I wouldn't say necessary. I've known couples who were more committed to each other without the rings and certificate than some couples who were officially married.

Answer 9

No it's not necessary. Don't marry someone just because you think you have to.

Answer 10

No. But ask yourself this question: "Do I want to be alone for the rest of my life?" If you don't get married then you will consistently move from person to person and never be committed.

Answer 11

Not necessary at all anymore
