Marriage is like the lottery, if u hit it, u will hit it big otherwise both parties lose.
Now days ppl r more focus on material things than real love. $$$ is the key factor as failures in lots of marriages. No $$$, NO honey...if u don't agree w/ me, just check the divorce statistics (65% n raising). I envy my gradparents in a nice way, they have been 2gether 4 more than 62 years!

In addition to what has been posted, there is also an annulment due to lack of form. I was raised Catholic, turned atheist, and then 25 years later, I came back Home. I was married and divorced during that time. Since I never severed my ties with the Church, my marriage outside the Church is considered invalid. I am in the middle of an annulment for lack of form, and it's a one page form (plus witness affidavits). No cost. My BF is going through an annulment - yes, it's a long and tedious process. Costs are set by the diocese. His will cost $175. The cost is underwritten by the diocese. We Catholics believe that marriage is a sacrament, and is an eternal bond. After going to an all day seminar on what you need to know to progress through the process, I have to say I understand and agree with their position. There are many reasons why Catholics are not truly prepared for and fully understanding of marriage (in the eyes of the Church). With the level of ignorance in the US, I have read that sacramental marriages are less common than potentially invalid ones.

Yes .I remember when I was little that my Dad and Mom were talking about someone and they whispered the word Divorce . Now everyone says it out loud and does it often . Marriage is a gamble for those who don't take for better or for worse seriously .

No, being single for a man or woman is a gamble, not marriage.

Everything is a gamble. You gamble with each decision you make in life.

No marriage is more of a long term commitment between to people. To put it in your questions arena it's like a contract between two people for life. The biggest problem today is people are not honorable to their commitments and break them as if they were mere Chinese constructed toys.

You may say so. More of taking a calculated risk. Before getting married with 'the one', i roughly know the character, a bit of his history, his family background, his financial status, his maturity and from there, i derive the odds.

anything in life is a gamble. it is not guaranteed that anything will work out. some wagers are just worth more risk than others.
