Doesn't have to be. Get married for the right reasons.

NO l would not say it is a waste of time at all. Yes you are right a lot of marriages do end in divorce and that is a real shame. If people put as much time and effort into their marriages as they do into more trivial things in life perhaps more married people would stay together. There seems to be a trend today where people just can't be bothered trying to sort out the problems in their marriages, they just move on and start a new set of problems with someone new. We must all put time and effort into anything to keep it healthy and strong.

It's great. The problem with some is that they are in a rush to get married, and start a family, and they don't spent the time needed to get to know who they are marrying. They don't ask the all important questions, like to you want to have kids and how many. Do you want me to be a stay at home wife? Will you help whit things around the house?.
It takes a lot of give and take to make a marriage work.

Not really. Now, if two people really love one another - as opposed to just having good sex - and they share enough common interests, they MIGHT be candidates for a long term relationship, if they can avoid arguing about small, stupid stuff.
It's just that the notion of "marriage" seems to say "committment" to so many people - in both a good and a bad way.
Granted, that piece of paper and ring and the vows don't mean squat if you really don't love one another enough.
But for those couples that aren't really SURE about how they feel, "marriage" seems to them like something they're not certain they want to commit to.
And then no, they probably shouldn't get married until they make up their minds they have enough tolerance, patience and forgiveness to go the long run.

no it's not useless. those people who end up in divorce court more than likely married for all the wrong reasons anyway; or they weren't doing things to keep the marriage together. plants need water & attention to grow, as does a marriage

marriage is however you choose it to be. you can work hard at it and make it a life long commitment or you can take the easy way out and give up. most people dont take their vows seriously because if they did, they would realize that for better or for worse means til death do you part. now if a woman is being abused then she should get out. however people divorce nowadays for the dumbest reasons.

Marriage is worth it. People just need to take marriage vows seriously. When you get married you need to get married with the mind set that you will stayed married. Marriage ins't something to do while you wait for something better. Marriage is a partnership through life. Love doesn't just happen people choose to love. So when you are married you don't put yourself in the situation that you may have feelings for someone else. I guess my opinion is MARIAGE IS WORTH IT....LOVE IS WORTH IT....America needs to get back to having morals in their life. We need to raise our kids in families, in two parent families!

Yes, I think it is. We have become a selfish society and it is near to impossible to build a life with someone when you can't be selfless. Plus we have to many options and temptations. Back in the 50' and 60's marriages worked because women stayed home men worked and the women ignored what their husbands did outside the marriage. Nowadays, anything goes and everyone does it...

No marriage is not useless. If you wait on God to sent you a husband/wife he/she will be everything u want him to be. Because all of Gods gifts r good. If a person knows how to love the Lord that person will know how to love their mate. I'm waiting
