Yes. I do believe in marriage. I believe it is a wonderful institution that both man and woman find a great deal of enjoyment and fulfilment in. Granted, not all marriages work out, but when they do it is magical, and wonderful, and the greatest thing that can be experienced upon this earth.

Absolutely! If you get a good spouse, you are forever happy. If you get a bad spouse you become a philosopher and that's good for everyone. Paraphraseing Socrates who said that.
Actually, marriage today is essential for the children procreated so they are born within the marriage and not illegitimately. Marriage is about saving the innocent child's legacy. If you are not going to have children, then marriage may not be as important to you if you are secure in your relationship, and can afford to loose some or all your assets with little or no legal protection. Marriage protects the women more than the males.
Same pain in divorce or breaking up a relationship.

I don't know if you can believe in marriage at all. I know you can believe that you and others deserve to be happy. If happiness can be achieved mutually than you can be together as something far beyond so simple a word as marriage. sure there are websters definitions but do they really represent what any one person percieves to be thier ideal or dream of a union, not conmensurated in church or in front of a crowd but a decision made by two people long before the dresses and rings were chosen. If people remembered more of why they fell in love with some one in the beginning and less of what you are or are not doing for me then maybe marriage wouldn't be considered with such harsh terms as "institution" but with words like "love", "forever", and "always". Quick gratification and easy success has taken over our minds and forced out family, connections, and chances. Maybe if people would stop having to convince themselves of why they should or should not believe in marriage and learn to love unconditionally divorce, domestic violence, children, and special occassions would be celebrations instead of reasons to just spend money, complain, or fight.

I do believe in marriage. I believe that two people with lots of Give and Take can make a marriage work. It doesn't work for me, but I am the black sheep in my family, for many generations, I am the first woman within my family to be married and divorced twice.

Yes, marriage is beautiful but it is also hard work. You have two imperfect people trying to deal with each others imperfections. When you look at it that way and seriously strive to make it work it usually does. Marriage is a serious thing since you not only make a vow for life to your partner but also to the creator of marriage. Pick your mate wisely. Best wishes.

I believe in marriage. Marriage is the union of two consenting adults with a will to ensure the security and happiness of the other persons at all costs. Even if it means their own loss sometimes. It takes the upmost patience and determination. If that doesn't describe marriages that you know of, tell them that they aren't married, they are just legally obligated to each other.

Yeah I do believe in marriage. It is a two way thing and take work from both partners. Relationship are built on trust. Some time you have to give and take.

Yes, I do. Marriage is a wonderful institution. The rewards of a happy marriage are incalculable. I could go on and on, but I will stop here only adding this...your significant other should be more than a friend; they should be your best friend.

Not really. i don't know. It seems so sub servient to me for a woman. it is a combination of chruch and government which is a bad mix (look at history). The only reason I'd get married is for a ring and the wedding picuture and to say my husband in a sentence on the wall and so I FEEL commited to. But as for the wedding or marriage, don't really want it.
