I believe in the symbolism of marriage, in lifelong bonds.
There may not be only one bond for each person, and yet, there will be someone we would feel [b]most connected [/b]with.

However, I am doubting the necessity of marriage as a proof of deep love.
If you love each other, and your love stays strong, you will stay together through time, married or not.

I used to I wanted to get married and have a family. But to be honest, marriage seems like a good way for a guy to lose half of his stuff if the woman decides she no longer wants to be married

I'm back to not believing in it anymore after some experience with almost getting married. The engagement failed, and I got back with a different ex I had intentions to eventually marry, who that ended up backstabbing me anyway. I tried to change my heart on marriage at the time to "be a good Christian," but I have come to the conclusion my initial instincts were right, and that marriage and certain types of relationships are not for me. Which is fine. I think this was all for my higher best, even though it hurts sometimes. I saw my parents divorce and was subject to much abuse I do not want to re-experience.

Now I am having more spiritual evolution, and I am more focused on seeing that unravel in a way that will lead to more fulfilling relationships and a better life in general. I don't think my personal path involves marriage. Perhaps some people need to experience it, and some don't. Every person's path is their own.

Yes and divorce when it doesn’t work 🙂

*Sigh* there is no narrative here for marriage.


It is just not for everyone, [b]everyone[/b] [big][u][b] can think[/b][/u][/big] for [big][b]Herself[/b][/big] or [big][b]Himself[/b][/big] if they wanna get that involved in a relationship and change their life. As it is a big deal and have to think about things first in most cases..




Has nothing really to do with getting involved in others opinions and being influenced by other people..



[big][b]someone can think if something is good for them or not[/b][/big]





Also nowadays [big][b]things are made harder and cost of living and more going up..



Plus getting married is expensive is it not..





But I will not say more or my personal details here for everyone to see..only maybe one person I would want to know oh and family close to me..[/b][/big]

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution😜

I like my wife very much

I believe in the one I`m in since it`s been 48 years. I wouldn`t do it again.

I never had planned on getting married but it happens ...I don't think it's something I'd do again ...once is enough for me ...

I don’t believe in marriage unless that’s what a person wants. I’ve been married 4 times- went through 3 bad divorces and then lost the only good one out of the bunch. I was stuck paying for all the divorces . I believe a couple can commit to a wonderful monogamous relationship without getting married unless they want to. Marriage is just something that is expected of us in society.

I've been married to the same with man for 54 years next month

Yes, I strongly believe in marriage, but I also recognize that the institute of marriage has changed and will continue to change, For example, as more wives pursue their professions, it means that husbands are expected to help take care of domestic duties, possibly even becoming a stay-at-home Dad.

Two words - Prenuptial Agreement

I married at 23 and divorced by 33.
Now i have some distance from the joy sucking misery guts, i have to say i'm not averse to the idea of doing it again.

But i'm so disconnected from anything remotely romantic it's unlikely to be anywhere in my future

I believe it works for some I think it is unrealistic. The institution of marriage was established when ppl were lucky to live to 35 a 20 year marriage is realistic. Now ppl live to 90 a 50 year marriage is not realistic

I believe in marriage but only if both partners are really IN the relationship, want to work together to grow and achieve the same or at least similar goals in life.

Call me old fashioned but yes. I do. However I do believe it's NOT for everyone, and also WAY too many couples get married far too soon/too young.

Even though never married im all in favour of it,i wish i had that stabilising influence etc.

I believe in mates as mourning doves and other life does. Marriage can be good or bad but bad too often. Not for me

I believe in committing to someone but I no longer believe in a piece of paper that tells me so.

I've been married twice. I feel it has it's pros and cons but I think the pros outweigh the cons in the long run.

I would definitely get married. I just have not found the right person.

Yes I do. Even though sometimes I want to punch him in the face.

For me it's not about believe or not believe. I just simply want one.

Yes. I believe it exists a legally bound agreement called marriage.

I do

Like busybee I like the symbolism, commitment and ceremony.
I think it shows commitment, generally at least. The other thing is that there are legal benefits to it. And it's more stable for kids, assuming you plan on having them.

But I don't think it's something that necessarily proves love, nor do I think that people always get married for the right reasons, not to mention that it isn't a guarantee of a lifelong relationship.

My own experience. Been married once. I liked it. F**k the "narrative",

Across the span of a lifetime, there will be several matches, just my belief.

I believe in what [i]is[/i] marriage.

Do I believe in commitment that can last a lifetime? Yes.
Do I believe in getting the government/church involved so I can have a license/blessing? No.
