Marriage or Long Term relationships (8)
eventsdo: In for a few (or lots) of darts incoming here but what are the views of members in reference to the term 'MARRIAGE'.
I am a firm believer that Marriage is just a piece of paper from a religious theme through time and has little relevance to current times but is required (in general) to enable couples to be as one.
My main follow through is however more about which works better..Marriage or Long Term Relationships. Do people work harder at one or the other? Aim: Which would last longer overall.
As you might have guessed by now, I think that working together in a long term relationship is better than those that are tied to a marriage of which a lot then is taken for granted and get lazy (once married). By continuous hard work and communication trying to keep a relationship ongoing is my answer.

I absolutely believe in the institution of marriage, and would never consider just living together (what some call "living in sin".) Marriage is not dead, and the "piece of paper", as you call it, is far more than a piece of paper. If you've ever heard a marriage vow, you've heard the words, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here before God and man to witness the marriage of..." This means that you are making your marriage vows with
God and with your spouse, as well as the audience. God takes vows very seriously, not to be taken lightly. God hates divorce, but will not send you to hell for it. In the beginning, before Adam did his thing with the fruit, marriage was perfect.

Dunno?, I was bored after the first sentence, but then I am a collector of divorce certificates so probably the wrong thread for me then!!.

@MrHugger
That made me laugh quite a bit as I knew there would be someone around who would stick up for the virtues of marriage (and as I suspected the GOD thing).
Mind you I am not here to divert my original questions on that path or WAR might break out
and we can't have that can we.
Being non religious I suppose I do err on bias against marriage but at least it gives the clergy a job, which solves some of the problems we have in employment around the world (especially in Cyprus where they all own Mercedes cars and a 5 bedroom villa), must be a hard life but I suppose they can live with themselves all in the name of being faithful to the end as their part of suffering.
Oops..stop it David..back to the subject matter
'Before Adam did his thing with the fruit...marriage was perfect?'
Of course it was as there was supposed to be no other persons around then to be married if I read the story correctly..but I only heard it as hearsay as have never read the Bible or other named Book in other religions..but I did enjoy the talking snake..now that always makes me wander, how well educated believe that...like all things I suppose..the hisses were 'Interpreted' to read as whatever the original author wanted it to read/say..mighty clever those guys way back in their story telling..a few sheckles in the palm of the blind man comes to mind 
No hard feelings 'Hugger' just find it all so stupid but I have no problem in you having your beliefs...best wishes..Dave

trurorob..sounds as if you are from Cornwall
I get your vote then surely
If you are divorcing everytime, surely you must have learnt by now it is not worth going through the same old routine over and over again?
so probably the wrong thread for me then!!. This is the right thread for you as you know a few things at least about 1 side of the argument.

'Well, seems it worked quite fine for the last couple thousand years...'
That is because they had no choice for much of that time as they are brainwashed by the church that was the thing to be done (and no arguements OK..or we will burn you at the stake)
Current times of course they do not (thankfully) but slowly slowly attitudes have changed over the years as people get to be more educated and realise there is a choice to how they can live their lives and see outside the ways of their family's values which are still strictly enforced in many country's around the world.
