Answer 1

"Some women say marriage can withstand anything if you're truly in love. I say marriage is made for sharing the ups and downs of life and it should be respected at all time."
I think they are both true. If you really love the person then you will share your ups and downs with them. If you love the person you will go through whatever bad thing that is happening with them. You need to work on marriage but love is what makes it possible in the first place. If you love someone enough you will respect them enough to work things out. Being in a loving marriage makes two people know that it takes them both to work as a team for that relationhip to last.

Answer 2

I truly think that if you have love, respect, tolerance and trust that marriage can withstand anything. The moment that any of these falters then the marriage can become dangerously perilous. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. But if you love someone you can forgive and they can work on bettering themselves.

There are few real reasons to get divorced. Violence should not be tolerated and any person who feels they have the right to be violent to a partner needs some serious counseling and needs to re-evaluate their true feeling for the person they are damaging. If you can hit someone, then you don't truly love them. You should not take anyone else into your bed, that is showing disrespect for yourself and your partner and again, if you are wanting to give your body to another person, can you really say that you are in love with your partner?

I read about too many people saying that they are thinking of divorce because their partner isn't doing the right amount of housework or because they won't preform in bed. There are other options and avenues that can be explored before you should sign those papers.

Humans have so many rights and the right to not marry is a perfectly acceptable one if that is what you choose for your life. I couldn't agree more.

Answer 3

I truly believe that in today's day in age, people have lost a lot of the respect they once had as you called it in yesteryear. You only need to look at today's society to see what's happening. People are so materialistic these days some only want what assets that may come along with marriage. Look at couples who are getting divorced. The current percentage of divorces in the united states is 54.8% of the population. The lowest in the world is oddly India, whose culture is known for having Arranged Marriages. The reason India's is so low is because after you get married and lose your virginity your damaged goods, you Can't get remarried. Now look at the US. It's hardly a shame to be flashing your private areas to the public, so where does virginity stand? All religious connotations aside marriage is hardly religious anymore. People have lost that sense of morality these days. I'm not saying all... but a lot have. The fact that an 18 year old can get married in a flash of puppy love and passion just proves marriage is no longer as high up on the pedestal as we want anymore. True love may exist but its very rare...

Answer 4

Marriage is a mutual respect for one another, and a love shared between the two. I believe in that kind of marriage. I am with a man who also believes this, and we hope to be married someday. I think your question is valid. There are a lot of women (and men) who believe marriage is overrated, outdated, and much more trouble than it's worth. I believe they have that right to think that, but if they think that, then I believe they shouldn't get married for the wrong reasons. Those reasons being: financial stability, just an excuse to do something (ie: Britney Spears), just for the kids (there are plenty of parents out there that never got married, but have raised the kids just fine), and various other ridiculous reasons.
It should be based on your compatibility with that person.
It should be honored. I hate seeing questions on here pertaining to cheating; it's wrong, don't do it.
So yes, I believe in the sanctity of marriage.

Answer 5

I belive that women today have come to experience a degree of independance greater than the women who came before them.

For Example:

While my mother was planning her first wedding, I at the same age was going to college.

Women today are making more than babies, they are having careers. With a career drive comes a lesser interest in marriage.

While women still value marriage as a part of life, many of women are not making it a part of their goal. This is simply because of a shift in priorities.

So yes, women still belive in the santity of marriage, but they have a bigger picture of what they want for themselves.

Answer 6

I definitely believe marriage should be the way it was in yesteryear...the problem is men do not feel that way anymore..so this is a problem. If a women wishes to stay single that is her right. My youngest daughter chose not to marry and doubt she ever will...she is a career women...loves her life and is so happy my other 2 married and very unhappy

Answer 7

Women who are raised in two-biological parent homes have good role models and therefore are more likely to respect the sanctity of marriage. Men, likewise.

I myself have been married 23 years, and I have always said I would stay in this marriage, UNLESS there was physical abuse to myself or my children or chemical/alcohol abuse on his part. Commitment is the key to a long-lasting marriage. We have it, and we'll be together for a long, long time.

We chose each other, in fact, we believe that God chose us for each other. Getting married without a pure, strong love, faith, and desire to spend your life committed to each other is the only way to start a marriage.

Answer 8

Marriage between the right people can endure anything, but a marriage between two people where one gives up and refuses to try is doomed.

Unfortunately today, people go to the altar, and when they say "I will" they mean "Maybe I will." Already they are thinking that if it doesn't work out they can get divorced, so they don't try to fix the problems. They just walk out.

Answer 9

finally!!! someone who thinks exactly as i do "marriage is made for sharing the ups and downs of life and should be respected at all time" i thought i was about the only one on earth who thinks this, and knows this to be true of marriage. but then again, i live in lalaland where there is no sanctity for anything but selfishness.

Answer 10

Oh whatever. What does those women think if their husband cheated, beat the crap outta them, got another woman pregnant, etc. Would they brag their marriage can withstand anything?
