I originally didn't, like most people growing up, I thought it was just a nice gesture you'd do for the one you really love and just an 'official' way of getting recognised as a couple. However as I got older and looked at what was going on around me and how ridiculously biased the family court system is along with things like alimony payments I've come to see it as very nearly signing yourself off to slavery. Why? I think that it's a lot of women who see marriage as a business transaction. It might sound bitter but this is just honestly what I've observed, quite a few women seem to marry fairly early on, have kids then they ditch their husband get payments for the rest of their life and custody of the kids and shop around for a new boyfriend they like better now they have money, some women don't even bother with the kids and just ditch the husband depending on how the law around marriage works.
I know not all couples turn out like that, otherwise I wouldn't have a family now for instance, however I see it way more often than I should.

Many relationships of all types are transactions at heart and always have been. Most humans hang around with each other with a purpose in mind.

Topic: Do you believe a majority of society sees marriage as more of a business deal, and not really a document proving love?
not the majority but in last years there is people who need to "cheat" it because they need it, also there is people who "cheat" is just because of the money... 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?
marriage paper is just another one vanity from humans, ofc that you don't need a paper to tell you how in love you are, but society need it for many burocratic (just another way to take your money because of it) reasons.

people who are still living treated marriage as as much of a duty as the fulfillment of their dreams.

Exactly human minds were filled with full of emotions, so without doubt each has some expectation from the other. Some might expect love and care, some might be interested in assets or other beneficiary, it depends upon each person.

I see marriage as love transaction You love this person and want to give her not just your love, but also security, protection, material things, share parental love toward kids, have fun together etc. This person is, of course inspired to give you her love and everything else. Is this idealistic understanding of marriage? Maybe so, but for me it's only way how I want to live in marriage. If you thinking only about money, of course that you don't need marriage, love or kids. You can pay for everything in today's world and you will receive it. But, are you sure you can call it love and can this fulfill you 100 % and make you truly happy?

I don't. But for some people who are either very poor or very rich marriage is often business transaction. And some people just see it as a business deal to get their goal. If both sides are aware of this "agreement" and accept then it is ok, I guess.

A marriage should be between persons without looking at their wealth

A marriage should be between persons without looking at their wealth Wealth comes into play always! Think of the very first questions people will ask you in conversation and it usually turns to what you do for a living and this is cloaked way to figure out if you are in the same bracket. For women its a way to see if you are worthy of her attention or some one she can sponge off. Since the numbers are shifting for women being the bread winners there is a void and the next generations will most likely be the dudes asking the women what they do for a living!

It depends on the situation. Marriage is a business transaction if (a.) The bride and the groom's parents are business partners and arranged the marriage in order to expand or merge their business. (b.) One of the parties is only getting married because of the other party's money. Gold diggers are trendy right now. Basically that's it for marriage being a business transaction. Marriage shouldn't be done for this sole purpose. It should be done out of love. But we can not control the society, thus there will always be people doing this kind of thing even though they know that it's the road for unhappiness.

If you see marriage as a business transaction..PLease do not get married..
Marriage is when 2 individuals who love each other more than anything else are committed to living the rest of their lifes together forever no matter what

My vote is that marriage isn't the most important issue. Bringing children in to the world is. If people aren't planning on having kids, then it seems wise to be realistic, and plan for potential problems ahead of time. Perhaps requiring a prenup is offensive, but then resisting one is too. The couple should navigate this in any way that works for them. Kids are a different matter. If the parties are not willing to split all assets 50/50, then they aren't in a position to have kids. To me, a prenup defines a state where the couple is committed enough to give it a try, but not committed enough to have kids.

People marry because they want legitimate children and want to be respected in the society. I do not know the ratio that marry out of real love.
But really to be honest most people marry someone they like - at least at the begining, they'll like each other...

I think yes, that is unless parents want to establish business transaction and one party wants to get the benefit of the other party.
But typically they just want to settle their own life. But many some often end up in divorce some lasts really long.
In the end marriage is just.

Marriage is a very sacred ceremonial of two lovers combine into one. But somehow in other countries, they treat marriage as part of their business. Expanding their businesses by marrying rich guy/woman.
