Before we start this discussion, I would like to point out that this is NOT a discussion about whether you think gay/straight marriages should be allowed or not.
This is a discussion about marriage itself, regardless of genders.
My opinion has always been along the lines of:
Why do I need to legally bind myself (at least that's how it functions in the USA) to someone in order to show my love? I feel like I should be able to show love to someone just by being a part of their life. Every relationship is an opportunity to learn something new. It shouldn't need to involve the law. I understand there are benefits, such as tax reductions among other things, but I am mostly talking about the show of affection. Have you ever been married? Ever been through a divorce? What's it like? How does it make you feel? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Is it worth it?
Discuss. |

Discuss. Marriage isn't to demonstrate your love and affection. Your premise is illogical which means that your conclusion is invalid. |

It can be very difficult, especially if communication is not your strong suit. It can be done successfully, however that is rare.... for good reason.

Statistically speaking they would have had a 50-60% chance of staying together for life had they gotten married and only a 10% chance of staying together as an unmarried couple with children (and only 3% if the children reached 16 years of age!) so it was no mean feat staying together outside of marriage. I know a couple who were cohabitating for 18 years and the woman spent over $100k in lawyers fees over custody of the children and division of assets when they split; I don't know how much her partner spent. The process of disentanglement was no less onerous or costly than it would be for a legally married couple. Interestingly, 93% of couples who stay together are married before having their children. |

I would never go through with a traditional marriage. The idea of being legally bound to someone "forever" (or, having to jump through the hoops to get out when it goes sour) is terrifying to me.
A pagan marriage, sure, as a gesture of (current) commitment and celebration, that can be evaluated and you can choose whether or not to renew/continue. But traditional marriage is absolutely ridiculous. Especially in a day where we view each other as rather replaceable. I wouldn't want to put myself in that position. Don't get me wrong, I love and commit with full intentions of doing everything that I can to make it work; however, I am not so naive as to believe that nothing could go wrong and end us, for the better.

Marriage is a covenant that you as a couple usually make with God. It is therefore something that is instituted my the mighty and everlasting father. I do believe that it is something that need total respect and honor because it is a way of worshiping God. marriage itself is also not a bed of roses and you will have to go through very many challenges as a couple and it is always advisable to have them handled by the two parties.

Also, that^, is another reason why I think it's ridiculous. Unless believing in that sort of thing floats your boat and you need it to give you meaning and whatnot, then all the power to you. |
