Is modern day marriage another form of social slavery, where people think like a giant herd of hormone driven animals finding the closest match to genetically reproduce offspring, and where failed marriages are recycled, and kids are used as pawns, homes are split in half, and where nothing is sacred?
Or is everyone who is married intentionally following good parenting/survival skills?
Any comments/personal experiences welcome!
:)

Marriage is now, always has been, and always will be the combining of two people to make one flesh. God is put in the center of the family. The husband is the head of the household, and the wife is his helpmate. All three components are necessary to form a strong, stable foundation for the family. The family is the husband and the wife. Children are merely an extension of that family, a product of the love, respect, honor, and integrity that was formed BEFORE they were conceived.
The family is under attack in these modern days. If Satan can break up the family foundation, then he can continue to seduce people into believe that they can hop from partner to partner, have illegitimate children, and not have any consequences. They're wrong. They are not only making adulterers out of each other, but they are making bastards out of their children.

this is a good and interesting question...i do think some marriages are a form of social slavery with very little love in them...i have no personal experiences in this..but i have seen some marriages that are awful...yet the couple stays together for appearances...that is the social slavery to me...appearances...so in a way marriage is a social slavery...and so is having children if you do not want to...society pressures you into that also...another form of the social slavery..

Only to those who are weak minded. We have evolved so far into technology, and beliefs. Everything we have today, and everything to come in the future would not have been, or will be possible without happy marriages, and childeren. We can have childeren without marriage, but this has the tendancy to leave childeren without a certain role model in their life, and they tend to miss out on things that having two parents can offer.

I believe that if I enter into it with negative beliefs, they will be fulfilled, and conversely, if I enter into it with positive beliefs, they also will be prophesied. I am responsible for my outlook, and if it does go negative, I will suffer the consequences.
On any given day, I can have a bad attitude.
for example: my man tells me something nice.
I can look at it positive: he likes me and conveys it.
I can look at it negative: he is saying that to butter me up so he can take advantage of me later on.
Doesn't life have more to do with what I'm willing to put into it than what I can take out of it? I believe it has to do with my attitude more than anything.
It can be slavery if I look at it that way, or I can look at it as an opportunity to share problems, gains, children, love, life, with someone in a wonderful way. I is my choice.

I guess it almost seems like this question is one of those "Depends on your situation". I dont beleive that marriage is all about that, however allot of my family members have gotten married because it was the thing to do. I myself am getting married on the 22nd of december. I dont feel like that...I feel like if I made the choice to marry him based on a feeling in my heart and not a socail encapsulation. However on the same note, My friend is following me in marriage and I feel like she's rushing because Im getting married. She feels like she needs to be married with twelve kids. Again I say it depends on your situation and case. I do beleive however that almost 75% of weddings are becasue of socail pressures and acceptable activitie in the eyes of society.

Marriage is a scam. If you are not married don't do it. If you are then I feel sorry for you as it costs lots and lots of money to undo that mistake.

I am married and was divorced prior to this marriage. The 1st was a disaster, but this one is great. I'm content.
