No offense taken. I got married out of love and proof of my commitment. We did not go into marriage lightly. We knew each other for several years, dated for awhile, lived together for a couple of years, and knew that we were right for each other. First and only marriage for both of us.

I agree marriage is passe.It is easier to just live together and if a split up happens. one of the two people leaves.No lawyers have to be involved if a legal agreement is drawn up when living together.

Because We have a determination to have it last and there is something about saying this is my wife/husband instead of girlfriend/boyfriend. Plus it is a religious aspect.

A marriage is what you make it. A marriage is not running home to momsie, when the two of you have a fallout. A marriage is standing tall and facing the problem, together. A marriage is love and respect for that one person and no one else. A marriage is devotion. A marriage is being each other best friend as well as lovers........for life. A marriage is for sharing the ups and downs in life. the good and the bad times. A marriage is a job. if you do not work at making it work, you both will be terminated.

I think you mean celebrities couples LOL, anyway I see your point, in the old day if you marry you would be with that person for the rest of your life. In today world married couples divored all the time.

I agree, but you sometimes get blinded by love. That's what happened to me. Now I'm paying for it.

Actually, the 50% divorce rate is a myth, from someone saying "Look, there were 100k marriages this year... and 50k divorces! oh no!" (Making up the numbers here, but the problem was not taking into consideration all the marriages from other years.) There are all sorts of benefits to being married, if you can make it work. Usually money, but also health, in the aspect of who gets to make decisions. Selfish, right? but there are other things like, if you have children, studies show the kids are better off if you're actually married, even if you're stable and living together. /shrug

Because a marriage can work, and quite well if two people are truly committed. The problem doesn't stem from the institution of marriage itself. The problem stems from the people who think that marriage is disposable. There are however those circumstances that a divorce is just, but I think that many divorces happen because people rush into the marriage itself.

I agree with you. I am married and so far so good.
