MrRick77: Is Marriage over rated ?



Personally, I don't need a marriage license or piece of paper. When I've been in long-term relationships we lived together and shared everything just as a married couple might. When we split up things were a lot less complicated than going through a divorce. Not that I'm saying I went into the relationship with the idea we wouldn't be together forever but that's just how it turned out.

I think marriage is important to some people and I respect that and think it's great for them. Everyone is different. As a matter of fact, I cry at all wedding ceremonies because you can truly feel the love.

Some see marriage as some form of man-made legality. Some view marriage as the binding of two human souls in a bond that should be unbreakable.

So it depends on one's perspective of what a marriage is and one's perspective of the value of a marriage.

For some, it has not value, for others, like me, it holds more value than any amount of gold, or silver, or other truely worthless thing that our world craves as a means of trade and security.

No, I don't think marriage is over-rated. but I do think that the value some put on themselves over other people is definitely over-rated....

Not if the two parties involved keep the love alive, and listen to each other. In fact, I think that should be the reverse.....the listening is of primary importance.

You know what law I'm all for ?

The one who initiates the divorce must be prepared to walk out in their birthday suit!

Why ?

Because that would put an end to the high divorce rates we are seeing today & the one scorned will be the one who scores! grin

Just the divorce attorney's will no longer be smilling! grin

A good law, except it will be unfair to the party being wronged in the relationship and who wanted out on that account. I certainly love the part about the lawyers not smiling though. :D

in my part of the world, we realize that marriage is a normal cycle in humans life...neither culture heritage nor a pressure...some failed, but many are successful...

No really marriage is overrated in certain situations and depends on the legal code . Marriage in its romantic version is overrated but when it comes to practicalities like your partner is from different country or together you have children then is necessary evil in most countries due to the legal code which is generally butthurt .

I think it depends on the person and their view of it. Some people who have had bad marriages vow they will never do it again. I have yet to be married and personally I see it as a lovely thing. I see it as a spoken vow to always be there through good and bad. Sure, you can speak this vow if you're living together as well without that piece of paper but I like the idea of marriage and that so called eternal bond.
