What's the point in marriage?

I always thought the same thing actually, personally I still don't really see a point, i think if you love someone you shouldn't need to 'prove' it by marrying them. but then i also see the financial/legal benefits of marriage. i'd probably marry for those reasons...but i don't think i'd need to be married to prove i am bound to one person, i think they should trust me enough as it is. wooo sleepy

I fink u need to b more mature to get married
i fink pple tht get married at a yung age are jus silly bcoz fings change as u get older and u want different fings from ur partner

Marriage is just another status! =D

No honestly the real question is: "Does Love fade?" If the answers yes, then marriage is just another part of life! =]]

[Don't want to offend any one lol]

The point is not just the ring and the piece of paper. Marriage is a symbol. It is the symbol of the eternal, undying love that you share with someone. A pledge to another person that you will love and care for only them.
(It also comes with tax benefits...)

Thts crap, i live in europe, born and raised and my parents wernt married
it dusnt mean anything in europe

You know what. Everyone has thier own opinion on what marriage means to them. Thats what matters. What it means to yourself. Who cares what any one else thinks, its yours and your spouses opinion that counts.

If you want to get married, get married, if you don't. Then don't.

Very simple solution.

Marriage is about committing yourself to that one person
that you love in front of every1 its like saying he's mine back off

My friend is 15, her oldest sibling is somewhere in their 20's i think.. their parents have never been married and are still together... idk.

Yeah i am engaged to be married and I couldn't be happier, I love the fact that my boy has made the decision to be with me and only me and I am looking forward to getting married, theres heaps of people that have been married forever and don't cheat and shit. everyones just thinking of the divorcing ones and everything. But yeah my boy is making sure everyone knows i am the only one for him, and him wearing a ring lets the other girls know he is not available and he is mine.
I am glad to wear a ring to let people know I am smitten and his other half for sure.
if u dont like it dont do it and dont make other people feel bad about it if thats what they like. xx

None. Youll never be able to put my feelings onto paper or into a piece of metal. And whoever said that if they got a divorce the man wouldnt have to give the woman anything, rock on lmao. Pieces.

I deff. want to get married just as soon as my b/f wants too (hopefully he's the one)...But anyways I've wanted to get married ever since I was 14. idk.
To me it feels like a bigger committment that just being b/f and g/f forever. There is a much better chance that when someone is married they won't leave you as easily as if they weren't married. (I'm not saying it doesn't happen)...But if your not married they guy (or girl) could just be like I don't feel like being with you anymore and leave but if you're married then it's like not as easy to just pack up and go...And if you love someone enough to show to the whole world by getting married then hopefully you won't feel like you want to up and leave anyway. I think personally that people who don't get married and are in a relationship just want that little bit of an out if they ever need it (hopefully they don't) but if they got married they might feel like OMG I'm with this person forever and if I get sick of them or want out or something I can't. That's just my oppinion but...

I think the point of marriage is to symbolize that you're separating from your biological family and starting your own. And I don't necessarily mean children.

Just my thoughts.

wow i like that interpretation
