Do you think marriage is overrated nowadays?

To some it is, to others it’s not. Everyone has their preference on what they see as commitment. I’ve been married for 27 years and having that moment in my life was a must because it’s just the next step people took in relationships. But I can say that I don’t have the same desire to ever get married again just because it’s what people do. The relationship is what you create together…every step of the way whether you have the certificate of marriage or not.

I do. Not that I don't see the virtue in it, but I think we all deserve to change and grow and sometimes we grow apart and that's not a failure, it should be celebrated.

Marriage isn’t overrated....it’s just no longer automatic.....

When chosen consciously, it’s still powerful....

When chosen out of fear or habit, it becomes a costume people resent wearing.

having someone that you share an incredible bond with...... its beautiful beyond words. whether you are married or not, either way, a great relationship is to be cherished.

To borrow from the Longfellow poem, when it’s good it’s very good and when it’s bad it’s horrid.

No blanket statements to be made, depends on the people and the situation.

Most people these days seem to do it out of “convenience” or as something to “flaunt”.
So yes - it is.
Used to imagine being in one when I was younger, but the more I see how people either cheat or get f*cked over with it, makes me think it sounds more like a trap. But it’s different for other people, ig.

Yes.

I think it was overrated in the past. I think it is more accurately rated nowadays. Not everyone sees it as mandatory.

never saw the point. if you're happy with the person, just be with them. Who needs a contract?

No. I see a lot of strong marriages.

No. I would like to remarry someday if given the opportunity

Dunno never tried it

Marriage is hard and if you don't want to put in the work that it takes to maintain one then don't get married.

No. I think it would be more sustainable if one wage was enough to live on.

Nowadays relationships are overrated. Let alone marriage.

It's not so much that marriage is overrated, but the fact that divorce is unfairly villainized.

sounds like wishful thinking from those who want to tear down the family unit..

No. If anything it's underrated

no..
