Answer 2

Only a person who is happily married will understand why marriage is important. If a person is only interested in intercourse, then you're right, people shouldn't get married. However, relationships do in fact go deeper than physical attraction. Couples want to grow old with each other, share dreams and goals and build families. People want to feel secure and protected and have a legally binding union.

Nowadays, people do not see commitment in marriage, neither do they recognize the sanctity of it, in a moral and spiritial point of view. It is pretty sad. In my opinion, a lot of divorces happen because people a) do not really get to know their partners enough, and are blind to their flaws until the day they get married b) do not realize that planning is important at any stage, and finances play an important role and c) a lot of people think that you can turn into an adult overnight just by getting married and/or having kids.

Answer 3

Marriage is the ultimate in Love and Commentment. Once you have found a person that is on your mind 24/7, makes you better than you are w/o them, cares for you and does for you, shows you that they love you and puts you first, then you commit to marriage and THEN to a sexual reationship. Sex has become to common these days and that is why it doesn't seem so important. Once you have gotten married then and only then do you start your future and grow up. It's like OK now that I've gottn this done here I go with life.

Answer 4

Marriage may not be important, but the commitment that it represents is. Married, or committed people are not perfect, they...we are just people. Yes people care, if they really love you. Will they be perfect? Nope, but love has a way of making that work too. Love is out there. I didn't find it until I was thirty and I still have it. Will I always? Don't know, but I have it now and I know it's real. Even if there comes a time I don't have it, that doesn't mean it's not out there. It just means that i don't have it at that time. If you are open to it, it will come sooner or later. Good Luck.

Answer 5

It's only as important as the two people involved think it is. If you don't feel like making any permanent committment, don't do it. You will only end up hurting the other person. If you want to raise a family, and have a stable environment for them to grow up, it's the best way to provide that. If having kids is not something you care about, honestly, marriage is not necessarily that big a deal.

Answer 6

I don't think it is as important as it once was. At one time it was a partnership formed to help care for one another and have a family. Religion played a big part of that too. Now that we live in a very mobile society where there seems to be so many choices that we really don't commit very well.

Answer 7

Marriage is important because...

it symbolizes a strong, lasting committment between two people who form the foundation of a family which requires such stability and security.

it is a significant statement of trust and dedication between two individuals

it provides companionship, partnership, and stability between the two

it shows maturity, willingness to commit, and is a public statement of devotion

it unites two families rather than two individuals, increasing support for this new family and greater family ties

it provides reliable support and role models for any children born between the two individuals


Or.. that's the ideal, anyway. If it were a perfect world.

Answer 8

Marriage is a commitment. I care, It is very important to be married if your going to have children anyway. Why is so hard to understand that? I took my vows seriously, it was not based on sex, it was based on "I want to spend the rest of my life with you".
Shacking up is easy, that's why people do it.

Answer 9

Marriage is for people who really care, who are people of their words (have integrity) and commit themselves to finishing what they have started with a chosen partner. Its not allowing others to intervene into their life long plans...its a method to continue your families heritage...with so much temptation in the world now days its becoming so difficult for couples to stick to those vows and that's why so many marriages fail.

Answer 10

Sex is just a part of life.. but not life itself.
Who said we can't find love anymore.. I think you havenot searched harder..
But as i can see ur an indian.. The whole marraige stuff is done so that the kids you have don't turn out to be neglected and they get a good life.
After all we gave them birth.. then i think its our own responsibility..
