Answer 2

When the word marrige comes into my head the first things I see are a big extravigant wedding then rasing kids. Now adays the vows (not vowels) mean nothing. They used to truly bind two people. You were saying you would serve each other, always stand together, you were as one in Gods eyes. Now they are looked on as simply reciting words as part of an old tradition. Like saying "god bless you" when some one sneezes. Marrige has also become a legal contract and some papers to sign so you can gain some extra rights. It means nothing now to break that bond. To sign some new papers. Though after saying all of this, there are many who marry for love, and still take the vows seriously. But they will never again have the power that they used to. They were truly, Death do we part.

Answer 3

Marriage means compromise. Lots and lots of compromise. Yes, my vows mean something but I really do not think about them too much because we are busy with our son and running a business together most of the time. Love is an equal commitment to the well being of a relationship in my point of view. It is working equally hard at maintaining a happy and proserpous life together. I think sickness, health, richer poorer is important but a little over rated. No one should have to tolerate a spouse that is physically, verbally, or sexually abusive or has a drug or gambling problem that they will not get treatment for. There are some deal breakers.

Answer 4

what does marriage mean to you?
scary and a big commitment. I'm not at all ready at this time in my life.
does the vowels mean anything ?
they can, but i don't believe i need to hear the man i am going to marry tell me what he would hopefully tell me often in front of a lot of people.
what is love to you, your definition?
when you can't live without someone, you feel happier around them and completely comfortable. You would do anything for that person.
is it for better or worse ,in sickness and in health, richer or poorer till death do we part anymore?
i would hope so, if you find the right person.
i was completely honest!

Answer 5

1. Union of two persons in love who wish to live together as husband and wife.
2. Friendship and never having to be alone
3. ? a,i,a,e
4. Sharing, helping, sacrifice, committment and work
5. Being on my "4th" marriage for the last 22.5 years you tell me.
6. I am still married and nothing is ever "perfect" in life, just as people are not perfect. Time makes people distant while others grow closer to each other and if you expect people to be PERFECT and everything to last forever you are deluding yourself for this means you are not a person who wants to work for anything and want everything to EASY. NOTHING in life is easy, and I have enough experience in relationships to say that the only time it hurts when two people don't get along is when we are not mature enough to see that some changes are for the "best." Marriage included, for divorce in some instances means that we can go on to bigger and better people in our lives. After "3" unfaithful wives (I'm a workaholic), I wouldn't have found a GOOD wife who makes up for the crap I took from the other three.

Answer 6

All those things meant something when I married. However I did not realize the one I married did not feel the same way.
After sticking through him through the lies, jails,prison, violence I had to make a decision about our very young children.

Do I want our children to live such a life? NO

It takes two to make a good marriage. Not just one.

What does marriage mean to me now after 11 years of divorce? That is takes two, and I just assume not be married and go through what I did the first time around. I have a Mr. who is good to us, and appears to love us, however marriage is not something we talk about. I admit I am scared.....and if it is brought up I just might run.

Answer 7

First of all, it's vows, not vowels.
I will be getting married next July. Marriage to me is a bond on many levels: spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental. It's a lifelong commitment to love your spouse unconditionally through whatever life may throw at you. So much more is there that just can't be put into words. :)

Answer 8

Marriage is a contract.

You meant vows instead of vowels, right? Assuming you did, I would never use the regular ones. They're impersonal and don't really reflect my intentions.

Answer 9

Huh! Marriage means commitment between two people.
Vows should be honored.
Love is a strong feeling that will want to make you commit.
Yeah all that jazz you said but if the other half screws up you have a way out...if you want.

Answer 10

Commitment
