I don't think marriage is the goal. Its more for companionship than anything else. Divorce rates are high thus I think the direction now is to have a companion and if it works out fine, if it doesn't, one can leave without any strings attached. This would also keep the divorce statistic down. Marriage isn't what it used to be.

Thats what I want to know too! Personally I believe in the old fashion idea of dating and it leading to marriage but I dont think guys consider this concept as much anymore. With devorce rates being as high as %50 of marriages, its scary. Traditions are being thrown out and its hard to say what will happen. I hope someday I'll find someone who feels the same.

If you find you enjoy someone enough to consider it a romance, then marriage is a natural direction if it lasts. If you find the one person in your life who is really meant for you, you will know it.
In my case, chemistry was the catalyst and after 32 years it is so easy to be married and attracted to just one person. Be selective and wait for the right one and it can be a better feeling than that of a lottery prize!

marraige is the goal these days, but as the other one said it really has become a joke today. and its actually the media to blame. if they didn't exploit all of the stars getting divorced and married every 2 seconds than only people that have real problems in their marraiges would get divorced. otherwise everyone WOULD get married to thier romantic lover and stick with them through anything.

I know what your saying. Where did love,marriage,then having children go? Why is it ppl can commit to having sex but not a relationship,or marriage, I think it's from lacking self respect.

i really don't think that these days people care about that. it seem like they enter the relationship for their own pleasure. but that was not how it was for me. my husband was the only man i dated or kissed or anything. it was so worth it. i didn't want to be in a relationship for fun. it was to see if i wanted to marry him. there are so many people out there would disagree with that. but i know that i will be with this man for the rest of my life and the rest of my life will be so amazing with him.

It doesn't appear to be. There doesn't seem to be any benefits to it. Even monogamy is out the window. I'd much rather have a boyfriend cheat on me than a husband.. that way I can get out without having to go through a messy divorce.

no , not since the divorce rate is more than 50%. i think the problem is people change once the ring is on the finger. they sometimes marry people thinking that they can change them or "things are gonna be different, when theyre mine". at least thats been my experience (myself as well as those marriages i know.) im curious to see the other answers, great question!

I think people into for love. For some people, love means marriage. Not for everyone.
