Opinions.

What's everyone's opinions on love? Spill everything. I believe it can happen just as fast as hate can. It can also be felt WAY more than once. I'm not sure of how long you should be engaged, though. Do you think someone should be engaged just until they're sure that marriage is the right thing to go through? Like, do you think the people should wait until they think they're really meant to be? Or when they KNOW they're meant to be? Or what if one person in the relationship is sure and they other's kinda iffy but doesn't say anything. Marriage is only supposed to happen once. Alot of people misunderstand this concept. They think that marriage is for love. No. It's for uniting of two soulmates. Love is infinite. If I were to marry everyone I love, I'd have alot of failed marriages. Big time failed marriages. I know this is a kinda random forum topic but I've wanted to know, and discuss this with fellow people that would understand, I think.

"Do you think someone should be engaged just until they're sure that marriage is the right thing to go through?"

They shouldn't get engaged at all if they are not sure they even want to marry the person. If you are unsure, but say yes I will marry you, you would be committing halfheartedly.

"Marriage is only supposed to happen once."

That would be ideal wouldn't it? But realistically people change over time and so do relationships. Not all marriages are going to last forever and I have to say it is all about love (committment and trust)

Love is pretty cool. If it wasn't people wouldn't get together and marry and have kids and go on family holidays and have family christmas parties and...well you get the point, we would be in the sh*t without it right? So yeah, I'd say Cupid does his job pretty well.

Well, I'm ready to be married. Don't get me wrong. I just don't want to get married and have it fall apart because I've been hurt so many times without expecting it...I guess it's just a matter of that kind of thing happening again...that's all. I'm not really afraid of that, though. Hmm. I don't really know exactly what's bringing these kinds of thoughts into my mind...it may just be because I'm still in shock that I'm actually engaged at the age of 16.

It's not the love or the marriage that created misery and unhappiness, it was the people involved. Like everything else we infect it, we not only learn to build it up into something beautiful, but we learn to fully destroy it as well. We can't pretend that forced or loveless marriages fair any better from an emotional standpoint.

Well, i believe i've found my soul mate, and were not engaged but he has given me a promise ring. I have 5 years of college to go through until i want to be married and he agrees that we both go through college until we marry. so that gives us plenty of time to "really" get to know each other and stuff.

don't be like other people.. together a year, get engaged, and married a few months later. i would say atleast be with the person for 3 years until you get married.

"All the various religions have to varying degrees sanctified marriage and many of them still maintain that the woman should or must be subservient to her husband."

lol I guess I am glad not to have a religion. That won't be the basis of my marriage.

So...this has changed up. Lol.

My opinions about love:
Love is a wonderful thing that brings two completely different people together. If it wasn't for love I think we would all go insane. Even though love is a very long struggle in the long run I think it's worth it. Even through all the pain love brings you learn so much about yourself. You learn what you can improve and you realize what you need in life. You become such a stronger person an you discover who you are through the process.

Amanda, I'm sorry for doubting you with it being too early to be engaged. I should've listened. I feel like crap right now. I found out last night that he's now talking to another girl. We got into an argument on Monday and he didn't talk to me after that. I had to find out from his cousin about the other girl thing. :/ I hate pain and heartbreak.
