Here are other questions... I have to do this survey for school and really need help.... Please, please specify your civil state (married, divorced, single...). Thank you lots!
2.-Do you think marriage makes a person better human being? If yes, in which way?
3.- What are the differences between a couple “living together” and a married couple?
4.- Do children need to have, for their well being, married parents? Why?
5.- Is “divorce” a personal failure for the couple involved? Why?
6.- Do you define “family” as the nucleus “father, mother, children”? Why?
Thank you!... again :)

I'm divorced.
1. Not necessarily. I think the 'ideal state' is an individual thing, not a human race thing.
2. Not necessarily. Some people do get better while married, others become worse people.
3. A piece of paper and tax filing status.
4. No, but they do tend to do better when they are able to have both parents in their lives (if those parents are responsible).
5. Not at all. Just a sign that things changed and what was once a good match, isn't any longer.
6. Family are people who are bonded by love and/or blood. Can be the traditional father, mother, kids scenario but also includes close friends, significant others, and other blood relatives.
Good luck!

This all depends on the person or human being ....The Bible does state it is not good for man to be alone but at the same time some people are better off being single....
I do not feel that only marriage makes a better human being at all.
A couple living together is not a legal bond or commitment but marriage is and it is a much more stable environment for all involved.
In a way yes i do feel that children do fair better with a happily married couple as in parents but yet if all the parents do is fight and argue it may be best to seperate.
A divorce is not a personal failure it is giving up on a marriage that can be worked on usually except for a very few reasons that divorce is the only option like abuse, adultery and things like that.
Family is what you make of it the ideal family is father and mother and child because that is the way God designed the family and the marriage but in today's society and world it is so much different.

i'm married...and i do believe it is the best state for humans based on the "bible"...however some people are unable to commit and end up hurting the one they are married to, I have and always will believe in marriage for myself...but some individulals i don't believe should ever marry on a count of commitment issues. Not much difference between living together and married...trust me...just a legal title. Yes children are better off with married parents...because the parents can make decisons "together" about the well being of their child. Yes divorce is a failure...but not necessarily for the "couple" maybe just one person...if i.e. the man has commitment issues the woman does not. 6. yes because that is what "family" is supposed to be.

2. two minds working together for a common goal..family
3. marriage is a forever commitment so you work harder to keep the marriage together. living together is like ..ok if it works ok and if not there is always other fish in the sea.
4. children see how hard parents work to keep things together and show an united front. how two people work out their differences and problem solve.
5 no..
6. family starts with mother father and children then expand to involve grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.. as it takes an entire village to raise children.

Widowed, remarried
No
a marriage is made between 2 people, a commitment is a commitment whether by private vow or by cleric or civil
No, What they need are parents who love and support them and stability regardless of situation
No sometimes is just can't or shouldn't work
NO a family is a group of people who love, accept and support each other even when they disagree with each other

Marriage is the true committment.
Anything other than that, one or both of the people in the relationship will always have the thought in their head: "This is only temporary."
