What is your opinion on Marriage?

Question

I am curious. When you think of marriage what comes to mind? Do you have an opinion on gay marriage, or intamacy before marriage, or the commitment of marriage? Anything. I want to know.

Answer 1

I love being married. I am someone who was just born to be part of a couple. I chose poorly the first time, but this time I have married the best man for me. I didn't know marriage could be this rewarding.

Answer 2

Most of my opinions on how marriage should be approached have come from after my marriage was completed. And none of what my opinion is now, did I follow before I got married. So this is going to be a hypocritical answer. I just thought you should know the truth before I gave it. I'm not a hypocrit, just took to wisdom a little late. So, When I think marriage I think life time commitment. Gay marriage? One problem being morphed into a bigger problem beyond any control, and with unbelievable consequences. Intimacy before marriage, probably best, however, it can and has backfired on many occasions to friends of mine. One last concrete belief.... cheating is the only reason for divorce. Abuse? No, not divorce, but separation. Lessons need to be learned. Lessons from horrible parents need to be forgot.

Answer 3

Gay marriage. Why not? Two people who love each other should be able to have all the rights "breeders" do
Premarital sex. You bet! What if you were compatible in every other way but sex. That's a big part of marriage
I also believe in long engagements and living together before getting hitched. Make sure it's really meant to be. There is too much divorce these days. I've lived with my husband for 7 years and we've been married for 3. & We're still excited to come home from work & see each other

Answer 4

I'm getting married in April and I'm very excited about it and the man I'm marrying. I've always wanted to be in a committed relationship and feel really lucky to have found a man who is as committed to me as I am to him. For me it is about us sharing our lives with each other and building a future together. I'm sure we'll weather a few storms but I think that is part of growing and maturing. I think intimacy before marriage is the most realistic for most couples, as long as both agree to what they are doing and why they are doing it. Being deceptive or misleading about intentions is cruel and unacceptable. I am in no way threatened by the idea of gay marriage. I've heard all the arguments against it and I find it sad that anyone would put that much energy in opposing love and committment by two adults.

Answer 5

Marriage began as a religious sacrament. Where the government went wrong was in adopting the word marriage for the license. I would propose that all couples receive a "certificate of civil union." If they are to be married, then that will be performed by their church and the church can issue a marriage certificate if they wish to. As far as the state is concerned, the couples are all equal under the law and can have any ceremony they want, performed by a person legally eligible to join them either through a civil or religious ceremony.

Answer 6

Marriage is supposed to be a beautiful thing if you marry the right person. Now adays nobody cares about marriage. People get married and then get divorced at the first sign of trouble. There is no respect at all between a man and his wife. It's so sad to me. I think marriage is a partnership between a man and a woman who love each other. They spend the rest of their lives together and work on making it work every day of their lives. They should be committed to one another always. Avoid temptations and keep communications wide open.

Gay marriage: I am sorry I do not believe in it. Its not the way God intended it. But I do not mean any disrespect to Gay people. Alot of them are great people.

Intimacy before marriage: Another thing God did not intend. But it is such common practice now. Though it doesn't make it right. I have to admit that this one is a major weakness for me. I would love to be able to save myself for my future husband. Dunno if that is possible though hehe

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 7

It's a beautiful legal contract to have sex with a person that everyone just abuses to no end. Back when the idea was concieved, it was supposed to be a legal documentation that said "I like you so much that I'm not going to sleep with anyone else but you for the rest of my life. Yeah... You're THAT good. ;)" Now everyone does it just for the sake of getting more sex or financial gain, only to end in divorce to tell the world that romance is dead so you shouldn't even bother trying.

Marraige is supposed to be a holy sacrement, so no, I don't think gays should be married. If they're comfortable enough with each other to be gay together at all, I guess there's not a lot I can do about that, but keep it to yourselves. If you love the person and are already boning him/her, why do you need the approval of anyone else? God doesn't approve of homosexuality, so He wouldn't approve of any gay marraige.

I was raised with the belief that premarital relations severely complicates and eventually botches any relationship a person is in, and as far as I can see, this theory has been otherwise proven true. My parents have never had sex with anyone but each other (after marrying) and they've been together for 25 years now. I look at all my friends who think that marraige should be about finding who's the best in the sack, and they therefore have absolutely no qualms about ditching their significant others over the stupidest little things. Only ONE case I can think of where a premarital sexual relationship worked, but they got married IMMEDIATELY after they first did it. They were both their firsts, and they thought "why bother looking anywhere else?" :)

Answer 8

Marriage is a sacred institute of relationships and love. There is always the worse and the weak drown, but the strong survive and it takes more than love to do that...it takes a good Man and a good Wiman whoboth know what they want in life and go for it and it has nothing to do with sex or love. Were talking the American Dream.

Answer 9

gay marriage dosent really matter to me becaus eim not gay but gays have a right to happiness too and they are no diffrent from other people...
plzz answer my question

Answer 10

Marriage may be a tremendous union, if the two social gathering's are waiting to pass into right into a relationship of compromise and dedication as total (no longer 50 - 50, as maximum do) persons. Divorces are so subject-loose now by using a pair treating it as though that's a business employer deal. some additionally bypass into it for superficial motives (seems, funds, status, etc.). Others would bypass into it by using fact they sense as though the guy they're marrying is going to be their savior and cause them to total. which isn't authentic. moving into to a marriage as a million/2 of someone will in basic terms lead to divorce. people mistakenly think of that it somewhat is their substantial different's duty to cause them to happy and complete - to end them and heal previous hurts. do no longer placed that lots rigidity on a mate. all people could take duty, forgive previous hurts and permit time to heal their hearts till now coming into into marriage or the different relationship. If no longer, then they are going to easily sabotage their contemporary union by using fact of previous unhealed pains, betrayals, etc. As for me, marriage can the two come or no longer come...however the case, i've got discovered to be content cloth and at peace with myself as an entire. Be blessed. ?
