Is marriage a punishment or a blessing?

Answer 1

Depending on your relationship it could be both. I know even in my relationship that i have sometimes i think it's the worst relationship ever and at other times he's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Answer 2

i say if you do it right it's a huge blessing. i don't know if i'd ever call it a punishment though, more like a burden or a heartbreak. and by the way, to the above poster, i was married at 20 and it has worked out wonderfully. i don't think you can put a correct age limit on marriage because it totally depends on the person and their life goals. for example, the most important thing to both me and my husband is to have a family. career is just a means to an end so there was no point to wait for that to happen. and you're never all the way financially ready to be married and have children unless you're bill gates.

Answer 3

It all depends upon who you're married to and how you get along. In my case, I was married to the Wicked Witch of the East and it couldn't have been considered anything except a punishment.

Every morning, I'd look up and ask, "Why me, Lord?"

However, had we gotten along and truly liked and loved each other - and you have to like someone before you can love them - it would have been considered a blessing.

Plus, in my case, I was probably too young (20) and hadn't had all the fun I should have had and experienced life. After 7 years, I took care of that though! This is also why I have developed a philosophy that no one should get married until they're 35. By then, they're in a career, should have all their debts paid off such as college loans, and know what they want to do with their lives. And while the biological clock may be ticking, it still has a lot of running to do.

To get back to your original question now that I've editorialized - it all depends upon the person to whom you're married.

Answer 4

An absolute blessing. I met my husband in the Navy. We were friends for 6 months then at one point we found ourselves single. We went on a date. When I kissed him, it was as if the world stopped. We wanted all the same things out of life..marriage, children, love...we had the same ideas. Two days later he asked me to marry him. I said yes. I didn't know hardly anything about him! We were married two weeks later. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up August 12. I have never been happier or more content in all my life. We barely knew each other and married. Some people know each other all their lives-marry-then a few months later they divorce. All I can tell you is that to make it work you must be friends, your must be honest, you must love each other and don't be afraid to admit it when your wrong.

Answer 5

It actually can be both. There are things in life that take work, marriage so happens to be one of those things. It is not easy keeping a marriage strong, although it is not hard either. As long as you don't fall out of love at the same time, your marriage will be strong and become a blessing to you! Remember to hold your spouse everyday and remind them you love them. Never go to sleep angry!

Answer 6

Hard work, but it's definitely a blessing. You just have to make sure that you marry the right person, so it doesn't become a punishment!

Answer 7

Marriage is a blessing. Sure it has its hard times, but without those we would not appreciate the good times.

Answer 8

ok so I'm not married nor have ever been but, in my opinion it is a blessing. I mean the best things in life are hard but that doesn't mean it is punishment. how could being comited to someone you love be punishment?

Answer 9

I think its kind of both.Its a blessing because your spending that time with that person you really love and want to be with.And punishment because you would have your ups and downs sometimes and no body is perfect..eccept me!! just kidding!!!!
