Is Marriage Necessary?

The institution of marriage is something special that has become a part of every society since the beginning of mankind. It's a social, spiritual, or legal union of two individuals who usually start the life together with the intentions of spending the rest of their lives together. People marry for many reasons, but mostly for the foundation of a family unit, and for procreation, education and nurturing of children.

However, things do not always go as planned and intended. Many married couples often find themselves in a situation when there is no escape from the fact that the marriage is in trouble.

I would like to ask your opinion. " Is Marriage Necessary?" to build a good and solid relationship with your other half? Or it's just a piece of paper?

NOPE!
No, not in today's world. Marriage in the future will become a thing of the past.roll eyes
marriage is necessary.
i think its not necessary but preferable (in my case).
we all hv our roots, and mine are very demandingmumbling laugh
Survivor, Marriage ( or at least our concept of it ) was not a social part of mankind since his ( or her ) beginning. The social or religious union we now call marriage, was a product of civilazation . We have only stoped being small hunter/gather communities for approxamately ten to twelve thousand years . Now as for marriage being necessary for unity or relationship, I would say no . people stay together only because they want to . Not because they have to .Now I ask you, which would you prefer ?
marriage is the most superficial thing on earth ... mixing in interests with emotions is MORBIDLY APPALLING!

Not to mention the fact that it's an utter fakery ... and u must be a master liar to promise someone else that u'll love her/him for the rest of u days...

...not cause u will not love 'em till death do u apart but simply cause u cannot promise such a thing!
Well for me its necessary, i think if i wanna build a family marriage is my first choice wine
@manroe

can't you have a family build exclusively on love and pure, true feelings? Does it really have to be all based on a frugal bit of ink-stained paper? .. like, what's the value of a marriage contract compared to true, unblemished emotions for one another?

can't understand ... what's it that marriage is supposed to add if there are honest emotions involved between a man and a woman? dunno
Hmm the vows I don't see as utter fakery. We are humans not God. We promise to love someone till death do us part and I think we do what is humanly possible to attain this.
Yeah! We sure Love eachother, til marrige do us apart!cool wine
@baltus so true rolling on the floor laughing u da king of the blogs cheers cheers
@10k : I know everyone seem wanna have a life exclusively nowdays i didn't say that they are wrong its just about choices. I raised to appreciate marriage itself i know...i know.. that's sounds very weird but i've seen my parents happy marriage for almost 37 years now. And i must add that there isn't just a piece of paper but there is a pure love, understanding, compassion in there wine
@ Frankinstien

Answer to your question, in my case "Marriage" is not necessary to have a good and happy relationship with your partner. I have been married once and it never stop us getting a divorce.
summerlove, thank`s but please don`t do so I get thrown out of here!uh oh grin
What I sayed wery short above, is that I have seen so many couples living together fore years. Got children, beeing happy together.
Then their relation starts to be a routine, and the early glanse are fading... What now? YEEESSS! Marrige! Proove to all the world that WE are SO happy! Two years later divorsed and mad as hell!
I believe those few, who get married and live together a lifetime, would have done that without getting married too!
(only my humble tought, though) cool wine
@Baltus sorry I was away... u do need to accept compliments as an acknowledgement of the beauty tht resides in u, widout fear of disapproval grin beer :cheers
Summerlove, I`m blushing Thank`s! teddybear
in my case, it is...
Marriage is necessary to carry on a lineage. It has has nothing to with love and or commitment, this why we still have arranged marriages today.
for me it is.i love my girl.i want to stand up in front of my mama et my papa and all my friends and yell it loud.
yes it is necessary since humans social animals with reasoning power that makes us unique in the whole universe any way now a days its just drama but still it is required
