Do you see marriage as a business transaction? (Be honest).

[designerusa]

A marriage should be between persons without looking at their wealth   

great quote. people must marry with love not because of money .. love is everything. it brings good emotions like respect, caring .. but money doesnt.. so i want to marry for love not for money..

[groll]

Partly.  Because I saw young women especially those who grew up in a poor family marry a man who is like twice older than them.  It is the only way to surpass the difficulties in their life especially if you did not finish school.  But when it is true love, you really want to tie the knot because you really want to be with that person for the rest of your life.

Topic: Do you believe a majority of society sees marriage as more of a business deal, and not really a document proving love?



Question: Why would you get married? Do you think you need a piece of paper proving your love for someone? Do you want equitable distribution of the assets if you ever choose to separate? Are you looking for more cash benefits? Opportunities from the other person? Interested in free food? Perhaps massages? Etc? If you marry someone for nothing but "love", you might be marrying for the correct reasons but if you're marrying for the entitlement and services that come with it, do you think it's justified?

it's depend on what you family needed, married because business deal are most are already regulated by both sides of the family who have a specific business deal. so why you grow up if you always hear what your parents say.
parents is just an old story so you must get rid of them, when he and his family have intention bad to your life.

Marriage is between a man and a woman. Forget the government piece of paper. The piece of paper simply invites government into your private lives. Make your own contract if you think you need it.

Forgot to mention that gays and lesbians can marry.

Well, I'm not married, but I believe that everything turned business, marriage turned business.

People want security, well-being and love. if someone has financial resources becomes an excellent candidate, but that does not mean that people just have financial interest ... people just want financial stability, security and love.

Actually yes, marriage is widely used to do many different international transactions and business and i think that everybody know it. But need to find a good partners.

I can agree with you that people wants financial stability, security and love, bit this is not everything.
Most people, specially woman, wants to become parents to, fathers and mothers.
Without children, many people don't see purpose in their lives.
you can be very reach in your life, have a lot money but eventually you will become old and die.
So, many people feel that there is no meaning to just spend their everyday life working and collecting money if there is no children, someone who can inherit their wealth and love, and continue their lineage.
All this things you can't replace with money or buy and can't call business transaction.
It's much more important and connected to hearth and love, not money or wallet.

most of the time no.. however there are cases wherein yes people marry for the financial benefits it comes with..

Best wishes to find your partner, but these international transaction practices were not found over every country. Most of the Asian countries practice it.

Well IMO, bussiness is not a bussiness transaction. It isn't because it is done because the two who vows in the altar are loving each other.

Did you mean "Marriage is not a business transaction"? What's with the hurry? Did you have to finish 20 posts so you can move on to your alt account?


And yes, marriage isn't a business transaction for the majority of people. They believe that it is sacred and only two people who love each other would do this. Marriage wasn't reversible until people decided to have the rights to divorce each other.

To some people though, especially those who are business minded, they use marriage to merge two companies into one. They don't care if the people who are marrying even like each other, they just want their company to be merged as soon as possible. You can actually see some movies like this. Usually, the Chinese people are involved.

i think it is the need of the time, it has too many benefit except you mentioned. it give you a life partner you can discuss your issues with her. give you children who are your support in the old age. it prevent you from illegal activities.

[kaitou.kidd]

Most human relationships are business transactions in that how much crap you are willing to tolerate is usually directly proportional to what benefit you find you get from that relationship.

[escrowboy]

Well IMO, bussiness is not a bussiness transaction. It isn't because it is done because the two who vows in the altar are loving each other.

Too bad because there are parents that already signed and made a contract on one of their childs even they are still young that when they get the right age they will marry each other wether the two are lovers or not. That's reality and still happening in the world.

[alplaxxx]

well marriage is base on tradition and culture in different country, some country you got marriage without money involve, other's vise versa but strengthen your marriage by discussing these financial pitfalls. ... In fact, couples fight about money twice as much as they fight about sex, according to ... Knowing what you are about to get yourself into can help you decide how to deal with it.

I agree that people should marry for love and not for money. Marriage is a sacred thing for me because the one you will marry will be with you for the rest of your life. When you are married with the person you love then you will be happy and attract good things then money will follow. If Someone will marry for business then maybe time will come that they will have problems with each other because there's no understanding and care and then there is a possibility that there business will be a failure too.

[gabmen]

For some people, yes. Especially if all you want is money, fame and fortune. All you think is the future. Yes i  think some people may think of it that way. However, if you are looking for a lifetime partner, your soulmate, being with your best friend, loving unconditionally, for richer or for poorer til death do you part??? Then marriage will not be a business transaction.

[deadsilent]

Marriage is not a joke! Dont marry a man or woman only for your convenience. God is the one who created marriage so dont treat the marriage like its like just playing games. Love a man or woman not for money but for what he/she is.

It usually is a contract between two people who are meeting co-dependant addictions with each other, example would be a woman wanting to feel loved and secure in her relationship, that her mate will not leave her while the man feeling that he has someone now who will take care of him and be faithful to him. because it is in contract, this does not change the actual emotional issues within the individual and as such the actions they take are driven by the underlying emotions they feel and not by their intellect (which is very difficult to force)

Rarely is a marriage based genuinely on love with no codependent addiction

[ObscureBean]

Everything is justified. It shouldn't matter what marriage means to others or what they use it for. It is not possible to conclude anything from the choices people make because you can only ever assimilate the things around you as projections of your own personal experiences/understanding. Live and let live right?
