fobrien: if marriage worked then why do we have so many divorces,and if you were married once or more and it never worked,then why will it work next time.marriage only forces people to be together by law(not by love)most men love their girl and just want to be with her for ever(women believe an hour in a church means forever)not so.why cant couples be happy and live together and love each other(that should be all that matters)not a piece of paper,not a priest,or a mass(you dont need god to make a relationship work)just a loving couple.
The reason for so many divorces is because people are marrying for the wrong reasons...
Well... I've never been married but I will get married once in my lifetime... If it failed I'll never marry again...
The law cannot force people to be together in marriage... It just prevents them from walking away from the marriage without obligations...
It's the marriage vow not being in church for an hour that pledges the marriage till death do you part... Also I attended a wedding on a beach not in a church... And the wedding vow was said there as well...
There is no garantee that cohabitation will work any better than marriage...
Ahhh... Just my two cents worth...
