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.

Absolutely not! I have always said if I did it I wanted to do it just once and once only to someone who was in it for the long run just like me and I finally found someone who was waiting for the same. Same plan about kids. I'm looking forward to both with him. Happiness and success in it is up to both parties. Ask important questions and know who and what you have before doing it. It's important.

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.

I think it's over-rated as a necessary milestone and right of passage into adulthood and that kinda undermines and devalues it into a box to check instead of being fully taken seriously and protected as something special.

When the right two people find each other that can actually build it and really have that bond it really is beautiful art. But it's over rated as something everyone has to do to by a certain time, and juts try it. and crap like that makes it a trap for a lot of folks because they go into it as a box tk check to level up in life and status. People are conditioned tk do the samething with kids often times and it just kinda makes a mess of something that's really is something. I think it puts some unreasonable expectations on it and also breaks up the family more than it saves it.

But you can't look at some married couples and say what they got and the vows they have are over rated. We're just jaded because checking of the box for the sake of checking it off is over rated

Its not.

Its just that it's really hard to find the right person to do it with.

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.

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

Yes.

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

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

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.

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

No. I see a lot of strong marriages.

Dunno never tried it

Nowadays relationships are overrated. Let alone marriage.

it always has been, you could easily spend the rest of your life harmoniously with someone you love without a piece of paper, without a religious ceremony, without the wasteful purchase of single-use items like wedding dresses, and if you wish you can still give them power of attorney to do practically anything the legal dimension of marriage would confer on them as well

marriage is inherently superfluous to long-term monogamous romantic love, and is also frequently a vehicle for conservative propaganda and discrimination

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

No I don't! My wife and I have been together for 35 years.

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

No. If anything it's underrated

Depends on who marries who 😂🥳

CHILDREN should NEVER marry...no matter WHAT their age.
