For me, marriage is a deep and lasting commitment that both husband and wife must do their part in making it work. And i think that the depth of your commitment may be revealed in what you do or say. Lets say... if in the heat of argument, you say "I'm going to find someone better than you! Someone who appreciates me! You beast!" lol...of course, your partner will get hurt. Even if those words were not meant literally, they would undermine your commitment by implying that you have the option to end the relationship.
Well, a marriage need not be a storybook romance... but it does not have to be a tragedy either. Though the husband and wife will frequently have to put up with each other's shortcomings... there will also be occasions when they can set their differences aside. And i believe that it is impossible to have a perfect marriage... since both are imperfect human beings. But then, making an effort to understand and accept each other will bring good results in a relationship... that despite any difficulties, any relationship can be a source of happiness and satisfaction for both partners.

In today's society, the word marriage is treated like a job. They wonder if they should take that job and they hope they like their boss. Then they hate the boss and their either fired, or they quit. They are married for all the wrong reasons. If it's not love it's the wrong reason.
When two people fall in love, marriage comes naturally. They don't wonder about anything. They know, because they could never be apart. Then they want to make the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together, till death do them part and they want to make it official. Now able to make their own life. Sharing the same name, the same house, the same financially and the same family. Nothing is better than that, when your in love. Marriage just brings you closer and you enjoy life even more together.
Making love is bringing two people together and making them one, naturally. Marriage is bringing two people together and making them one, officially. You can't get closer than that.

When two people are truly in Love with each other, and they are both Underlined 'Both' committed to each other, and to there marriage, then I believe it is the most wonderful thing on earth, and possibly even better than anything imaginable.
When you are deceived by an impostor claiming to love you, and after your marriage is complete, and they have taken everything from you, most importantly your children, and inside they have a cheating heart, and didn't love you at all, but only hurt you at every possible chance they had to do so, and then they turn your life into a living hell Underlined 'Hell' and then divorce you with no good reason, then I can say truly that marriage is a bad thing.
I would say Good, Bad, or Indifferent, this what I tell you now is simple truth.
It takes two to join in matrimony, but only one to divorce, and no matter how hard the other person who is believing in the sanctity of marriage and there commitment is wishing to keep there relationship together out of love and commitment to there spouse, and for that singular most important reason, I am no longer a big fan of marriage.
I wish truly that I could believe in marriage once again, as the concept by nature seems so simple and good, but how can I possibly believe in something that very few persons honor, or cherish.
For crying out loud, I know of some males, who I will not give them the dignity of calling them men Underlined 'Men', who will go out with married women just to have sex with them, and they do not care at all about the woman, or the relationship that she has with her husband, or the commitment she has made.
Also I am sure that this works in reverse for the opposite gender.
Marriage to me now seems only a fantasy world of fiction, as marriage is now only a good intention, at a singular moment in time, but quickly dissolves, like sugar in water.
Well the path to hell is paved with good intentions, and while I myself do have good intentions, I have already been to hell twice.
So in the words of Yoda, a believer am I no more, or at least that sounds like something he would say. lol :)
P.S. it is hell when you can no longer believe, even though you wish to with all of your might.

I love it.
It should be entered-into ONLY after the couple has taked about a year to really get to know one another and discussed all their important issues.
It beats the hell out of shacking up with someone who has no sense of commitment, and has one foot firmly planted in the back door; ready to bail out at the first sign of difficulty.
It beats the hell out of the dating pool mind games.
It beats the hell out of worrying about STDs.

Meaningless heterosexual ritual (or, as I like to call it, a suicide pact) that usually ends up in divorce because said heteros usually don't know what they're getting themselves into. Until marriage is a privilege for ALL, not just SOME, it stays on my "bleh" reaction list.

It's overrated and unneccasary (spelling?) Everyone should be able to do it and the law should stay the hell away from it.
