No, it's underrated. That's why there are so many divorces. The true meaning of a marriage is not considered sacred anymore it's just a convenience, a piece of paper or a compromise. Getting married should be seen as a blessing and not a "normal" part of life.
If more people would get married because they are truly in love and not just in lust or in a "well everyone does it or it's part of life concept", more marriages would last. When a couple joins in matrimony they become one, not one on one

No I don't think it's overrated. I think that marriage is very UNDERrated in this day and age and people don't treat it like the sacred institution that it is. Because people don't take their marriage seriously thinking it's gonna be all wine and roses and don't realize that making a marriage work is HARD WORK!!!!

Marriage is meant for the long haul and is very rewarding if both parties are unselfish and work together. The first 7 to 10 years are probably the toughest. Then I think it gets easier.

I don't think marriage is overrated.I think people de-value the bonds of marriage by not working together and fix the problems as they come up and then get a divorce when things get tough.

Marriage is what you make of it.It is not taken serious and thats why there are so many divorces today.I would not give up any part of my marriage.Its the greatest.I have a wonderful man that comes home to me every night and lays with me.Theres nothing better,because he was willing to devote himself to me and no other.

I think there's a reason why marriage is referred to as a "commitment" and an "institution"...I would have to say that alot of people after getting married would like to be committed to an institution because they don't know what the Hell they were thinking when they got married LOL...

I've accomplished much more as a married person. It helped give me more focus and it's been fun too. I think marriage is cool.

Nope. In fact I think it is underrated. Marriage isn't like fast food, it's like a fine restaurant with stately service and gourmet food.

Getting married is Overated being married depends on your the people who are involved. I really think women put to much emphasis on getting married and having a big self centered Wedding I really don't get it.
