According to Oxford dictionary marriage is "the formal union of a man and a woman, typically as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife". But to most of us, it is a lot more than than having our union recognised by law. Divorce may be commonplace now, and I am in fact divorced, having made a rather terrible mistake in my youth in that department. Marriage may be meant to last forever - but there are time when - quite frankly one must escape. But barring extraordinary circumstances, I do feel marriage is life long commitment. Marriage is the foundation stone of a new family. It is promise not just between the two people who are joined, but to .  Read the complete review

I've been married for three years. I don't believe that marriage is at all outdated. I don't really care about other people's opinions on the subject matter as, at the end of the day, it's up to the two people in a relationship to decide how they want to progress that relationship.

Being in a relationship is hard enough without all the latest stigma on what people should or shouldn't be doing with their lives. Personally I think people should be married if they have the ingredients of a good relationship - and WANT to be ...  Read the complete review

If you can't dedicate the rest of your life to someone you love, do you really love them that much? To me, marriage is more than just an expensive ring, classy dress and a way to impress your friends as it might seem to be on most modern day marriage shows where brides compete to win a 'best wedding' prize.

So why are so many people marrying each other then soon after divorcing? Did they not spend enough time with each ...  Read the complete review

I am getting married in a few months time and I've been thinking a lot before taking this decision. In my country we didn't have divorce until around a month ago when the law passed and still its not easy and there are many laws which wouldn't make it worth it. I believe marriage is not outdated and still important in a relationship. But a successful marriage is full of sacrificies and all about committment , respect and communication. I think that if you are married to someone, it shows that you are more committed to your partner. If you have an argument and decide to leave in the spur of the moment and you're married, you would think twice, its ...  Read the complete review
