An opinion on marriage. Well, lets see, I was married for 13 years and then was told that she didn't need me anymore. She told me that she had a good job with good benefits and she had no use for me anymore. So, I gave her what she wanted, her freedom. But really, marriage is a good thing. I wouldn't have traded it for the world. Sometimes it gets a little hectic, trying to bring two minds and opinions into one world, but that is easy to overcome. Marriage is a job, it's something you both have to work at to keep it going. You can't have one person doing everything while the other person is doing absolutely nothing, otherwise it'll never work. There is a lot of give and take, but I think it's worth it. Even though mine didn't work out the way I wanted it to, I planned on being married for life, I do believe that it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Whether or not I would do it again, well, that'll have to come in time.

I feel like marriage is a wonderful thing, if you both work on it. Marriage is hard! Life gets in the way and you stop acting like husband and wife and act more like roomates. But when you both put the time and effort into it, it is the most rewarding thing about life, except children. My marriage was on the rocks a year ago and then be both made a choice to get it back on the right foot and it has been a wonderful year.

Its a contract to protect unborn children and to some extent property. There are tax breaks associated with it, and the government encourages it. Quite a few people are forced to lie, predicting impossibly that they will stay together for life. Arranged marriages have a higher success rate as our western culture bases marriage on "falling in love" rather than growing into it. Erich Fromme is a guy to read up on to understand this concept.

hmmm. That's a good one. In fantasy land... it's lovey dovey, and what so many people are raised to believe is the "ultimate". However, in the real world, it is very difficult, and I find that many people and friends I have, would get out if it were easier. I don't think marriage is everything its cracked up to be, and can be very disappointing. Freedom is lost, and often times, marriage can be lonely even though you are supposedly with your "best friend"

Marriage is a legal prison. The law sees us as one so I can't sue him for stealing my CC check & forging my name, the tax law believes I have shared his income (which I haven't) and then penalizes me with zero deductions because my husband owns a house and I don't.
Legally, someone can turn marriage into date rape. So long as he doesn't hit you, your marriage is okay in the eyes of the law.
This was not a real marriage- a partnership of mutual respect and care. It was a license to steal.

marriage is a beautiful thing but it does not come free. There is a price to pay.....the days of thinking self is over. It is a life where even the smallest decisions affect two, not one.

It's a financial contract between two people who think that they love each other, but will one day find that the money they pooled over the years is the only thing left they share in common.

Its a lovely concept,.... created thousands of years ago, at a time when life expectancy didn't surpasss 30.... "til death do us part" had a much different meaning back then.

It is not always forrever. Only diamonds are. I believe that instead of saying "I'm going to love you forrever", we should instead say," I'm going to love you for as long and as best as I can." Love like any other emotion is transient. We shouldn't be held accountable if we can't love someone forrever.
