Question

if yes whats your best argument for marriage?

if not why not?

and if you could how would you change marriages as they are now to improve upon the ritual of it all?

Answer 1

YES,I DO. Very much so. Marriage was created by God. It was and is meant to last til one of them passes. Marriage is the greatest thing two people in love will give to each other. No where does it say it will always be easy, but it requires love,dedication,work, and true commitment. People who marry are suppose to treat their spouse as they do themself. They will love their spouse as much as they do themself and will protect them. They walk through problems together calmly and work them through, not walking away just because things get rough at times. Know when to be serious,yet still be playful together. When two people marry and are truly in love, they will find the way to make it last and work.

When two people want the marriage to last, nothing will prevent it. In todays society, vows aren't taken serious, they are meant only until someone better comes along, til the road hits some bumps, or until someone stops trying and working to keep it strong. The husband is the head of his wife, just like Christ is Head of the church. This means to lead her,but at the same time continue to show her love and respect and treated as his equal. They are to become as one, working together,and doing as one. United,standing together in everything.

Couples should have to go through relationship and marriage counseling. It should be required. Divorce is too easy now. I know from personal experience marriages survive problems and disagreements, because they didn't give up,they continued to stay together and work through. It didn't matter how rough it got. I don't believe in divorce. Marriage is for life. Find a way to stop people from cheating, abusing,looking for someone better or sexier, and marriages will stop ending. The counseling will be a great beginning to a wonderful marriage. I know,not all need counseling still society is changing,and so are peoples views on things that affect marriages and relationships. My great grandparents were married over 50 yrs, my grandparents on both sides 49 yrs, and 36 yrs, til one of the spouses passed away. My parents have been married 28 yrs. All of their marriages had problems, some were serious, still they stayed together, continued loving, and working through it all. It all depends on how much two people love each other,how commited they are, and if they want the marriage to work.True love can overcome anything. Gods written word tells how powerful love is.

Answer 2

I strongly believe in the institution of marriage. I married my best friend and soul mate and we have an amazing marriage...he is the only man that I will be married to.
I believe that marriage is taken to lightly now days, it's to easy to say i do and then back out! Its sad...I wish that people wouldn't be in such a hurry in life in general...marriages are supposed to be an unbreakable union in the eyes of God...it is supposed to last a life time. I thank God everyday for my marriage!!!

I also feel that children in a family with a mother and father present in a happy marriage are positively impacted by the situation. I believe that kids get a more well rounded up bringing when parents are married, happy and are together all of the child's life.

If I could change anything about marriage it would be people's general outlook on marriage....there are so many people that see it as unnecessary and stupid...I wish that they really looked at it better than they do!!!

I guess at 26, I'm a little old fashioned for my age. But I believe that my marriage is the most rewarding and loving relationship I will have!

Answer 3

Yes: because marriage is more than a piece of paper. It's a formal commitment you make to a spouse in front of friends and family to make the commitment bonding. It's an emotional attachment that is celebrated.

How would I change marriage?

I would require intense counseling. So many marry too young when they are idealistic about marrying. Too many believe that marriage is going to be just like hollywood: it's either "Leave It to Beaver" perfect or all about cheating and divorce. There's no reality.

There's no reality that life is going to be hard and there may be days that loving your spouse will be stretch. There may be moments when marriage seemed to be a waste. The thing is--you don't give up. So many couples really go into marriage thinking that all of their problems will be fixed--he won't go out drinking with his buddies every night once we are married! She won't spend all day in the mall when we get married!

Answer 4

Well, marriage is one of those things I was raised to believe SHOULD be between 2 people who REALLY LOVE each other and are willing to grow old and die together. Not just for convenience sake. Thus, as I may be a bit old fashioned, I figure that [IF] I do ever get married again, I'd like to believe/know that it'll be a forever thing; possibly with a soul mate for life (at least that's what I've been taught, but marriages just aren't like that anymore).
I'd love to be married again; if it's Real, Right, True Love, and he doesn't cheat or lie.

Answer 5

Well I do....I am getting married in a couple of months.
Reasons why I am still for the idea of marriage:
1. It's in Bible
2. Marriage can be great, if two people got married for the right reasons and take their vows seriously
3. I am not afraid of divorce. Many marriages end in crap, b/c people don't take marriage as seriously as they should...if they did more of these people would have not gotten married.
4. I can't wait to commit to the love of my life

Answer 6

Obviously people still believe in marriage. Look around. We make terrible laws 'protecting' it. There are thousands of sites devoted to it. It's a multi-million dollar industry.

Answer 7

Still believe. That is how God intended man to be cleave to your spouse. Supposed to be the one person you can trust without fail and always there for one another and to be strong through the bad times and cherish. It should probably be much harder to get married in the first place, it sure is harder to get divorced.

Answer 8

what's the point? He's going to leave for another woman who treats him like $hit

Answer 9

YES!
