We had a discussion earlier in the chatroom, and many people say that piece of paper you sign ruins the relationship and would rather not get married.

I for one think that is a load of balls..if people love each other and wanna spend the rest of their lives together and wanna marry, why not? I lnow of a lot of long lasting happy marriages.

What are your opinions on marriage today?

I will never marry. I don't agree with it.

Cloudbuster said:

Why not? What dont you agree about?

Yes I do!

I don't understand why people are scared of the concept of marriage..

REDFEATHERS said:

I think it's unnecessary and pointless. If two people love each other then that should be enough. No more messy/expensive divorces.

YES! Just maybe not for me.

crazyhorse said:

AMEN!

Cloudbuster said:

Why should there be messy divorces? Who mentioned divorce? not ALL marriages end up on divorce and I think that is probably why you fear marriage..

crazyhorse said:

Too true

Marriage is only believable when the couple in love is truly in love and wants to make the commitment. Prenups over money and belongings is crappy though. It's as if you're saying "when I leave you I want this and that" not "if we part" or "i want you to have this of mine should we part because I love you". That's the part that destroys the marriage in my opinion. Caues heaven forbid you lose his Benz and $500 when he falls for Sally at the strip club.

i believe in marriage...BUT i do think that there are so many more outside influences in relationships than there were 20 or so years ago. you have chat rooms, dating sites, etc. its hard for some ppl to stay faithful with all of these temptations

I been there and it can be alot worse than dating.
It can be worse than most things.

Prenups..

summerdawn said:

That is balls..you can walk down the street and find some one good looking, it is about staying faithful and staying in love.

REDFEATHERS said:

I don't fear marriage. I just won't get married. And 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce. That's a lot of divorces.

Cloudbuster said:

Ok, so you shy away from that...have you ever bought a lottery ticket? The stakes are alot higher, but I guess you do or have, hoping you might win...

Cloudbuster said:

..and alot of marriages...

hey the glass is half full, not half empty.

REDFEATHERS said:

About a dozen times in my life. And I'm not really shying away from marriage. I just don't agree with it.

Cloudbuster said:

<--- happily married. wouldn't have it any other way.

Cloudbuster said:

You still havent said why you dont agree with ot though...

teller said:

That's great!

I do...but only if you marry because you've found the person you believe you can/will be deeply happy with for the rest of time... ...If that feeling doesn't exist, then the relationship, no matter what form it takes, will not last.

Don't marry to have your "needs" met, or for money or out of fear & insecurities...marry because you can't even slightly imagine finding anyone else you'd love sharing your life with more...

yes

&

no

I believe in it, but not to be political or anything, apparantly, it is does not believe in me. Someone somewhere decided it was only for people who can breed

I personally agree with prenups, sadly in this day and age it's a very wise move.

Sad reflection on society as a whole, but reality none the less.
