Does the relationship remain the same? Why do we feel the need to hold a cerimony, and sign a legal document? Also, what about pre nups? If you love and trust someone why would you have one? Does it mean you don't trust the other, what's it all about?

1. In this day and age the commitment level and the rush to get married makes a pre nup a necessity.
2. My wife and I were married in a court house, the ceremony is to allow everyone to take part in your marriage
3. The marriage license is just a piece of paper, unless you have the commitment to back it up. Ours is hanging on our bedroom wall so when we wake up it's a reminder, were in it together.
4. And no the relationship should not stay the same, it should grow everyday, and if not if need to find out why.
A marriage is like a grape vine. If you take care of it, nurture it, you'll produce sweet grapes and sweeter wine.
If you don't water and care for it, then it will wilt and die before your eyes.
Hope this helps

You've asked some real good questions. The purpose of a ceremony and signing legal documents is to witness and validate the seriousness of the relationship, which is placed above all others. The trust issue VS a pre-nup reflects the society's declining moral values. People do marry for reasons other than love and anyone can flip around the term "I love you". Just because one person loves and trusts their partner doesn't mean that those feelings are reciprocated. So, the pre-nup protects one's assets from being depleted in a short-term marriage. If a marriage lasts, then the pre-nup usually gets changed or becomes meaningless for the couple.

The meaning of marriage? Well it is 2 people who feel that their joining together will complete their lives, that everybody out there has somebody who is searching for the other person and vice versa.
The married relationship will change sometimes it get's stronger and children are born and life is good and we pursue the "American dream". And other times both people realize uh ok that was lust (still a four letter word that begins with L) and they blew it or it might just be one person who realized um maybe I've made a mistake here.
The need for a ceramony is to proclaim before or lord and savior Jesus Christ and to the parent's that we do promise to honor and hold in sickness and in health for richer or poorer until death do us part. You've just made a promise to all who have gathered to witness this ceramony and you've just made that promise to our Lord.
You sign a legal document to confirm for the record that you are indeed married and that your not cousin's.
Pre-nups in my opinion are nuts (pre-nuts) because to me also it one person telling the other hey I love you but uh I love my money more. I can see them in a 89 year old man wedding say oh I don't know a 26 year old in Texas. But that would be to protect the interest of his children and family so when he dies she doesn't claim it all. The can be said for an older woman younger man deal too so I wasn't being a sexist. Yeah I think that would say I love you but don't touch my money, and who knows after a while the richer might give in to the poorer......after all they are married....

It's only been in this century that the notion of romantic love has overcome the obligation of marriage of previous times. Before, a couple was "betrothed" to each other before even knowing each other. Now, fortunately, we have freedom of choice. Now, couples, if they choose to marry, can marry for the right reasons, the ultimate, of course being a Spiritual bond with the Divine at the head. One should not give this level of commitment lightly or before ready. With the wide range of choices today, there is no need to commit more than one chooses to give freely. Some people may never marry. Others have given too freely in the past and now learn from mistakes.

The "meaning?"
Just a confirmation of the love and commitment you have for each other.
If you've built a strong relationship, the ceremony and license are just details. Significant ones, but details none the less.
Pre-nups? Not for us. We trust one another.

Marriage means the ceremony by which a man and woman
become husband and wife.For your first question,the answer is may be (YES)or(NO).It depends on your opinion.I think this ceremony is the most important for lady who is going to marrid.Everyone dreams about this ceremony. The lady who is not beautiful becomes very beautiful at their ceremony.So,I think it's very important . The legal document is very important for both(you and your husband).If you had this ther is no problems which can bother you and you can live and love until you changed your decisions.So,it's the one of the most important thing for marriage.I expect they are sutible answers for your questions.But remember!Divorcing is not a good thing not only for you but also for your baby(if you have).This is my final gift for you.

Not all the relationships remain the same... some are stronger after going through the marriage... some people want a marriage to symbolize they want to be with one and only one... and as far as prenups, I've never understood them, but its for people who have worked hard to get what they have gotten, and not want it taken away from them, by those select few that are money hungry...
