I believe in marriage.

Does anyone have an article of the first marriage ever or who made it up the concept?

Read further up the page up on the previous page. I've already spoken on the topic.

my views on marriage

i believe that marriage is a binding of the lives of two people who love each other very much
though love is a hard thing to define
marriage is where a man and a woman seperate from their father and mother to be with eachother to become one and complete each other also you must realize that marriage doesnt mean you spend all your time with that person you can have time to yourself to and im catholic and so r my views if you would like me to further explain them just say so

I too is a christian myself, but I don't want to just marry
every man I met just because it is not a christian way;
I do believe that divorce is also not a christian thing to do.
When I get married that will be it no divorce,
so I must feel the confidence of a strong structure of my
relationship before the very thought of marriage comes to play.

I think it's beautiful to wait for the one before marraige.
And I give props for those who wait;
unfortunately not all are lucky to find somebody decent;
a man/woman can be very deceitful and proud to hold
such nasty secrets, and some do divorce and are unable,
to make it for every lies told and act.

For me it's not that I don't believe in marraige,
but I rather wait and do it the right way with whom I love,
and see if marraige will be the answer,
and not a destruction for a already failing relationship.

That's all easy to say now. However, I bet your opinion will change dramatically if you find yourself in a crummy mariage in spite of the fact that you thought and had confidence of the "strong structure" of your relationship before you married.

It's not beautiful, nor is it something that should be applauded, and it contradicts your statement above about making sure you really know a person before you marry them.

If you're a strong confident woman/man
you can make it through anything.
I've been in a relationship for 5 years,
5 years more to go to see where it is really going.
Or I go my way.
A strong structure in a relationship is to learn to open
up to each other and not so selfishly just thinking of
yourself. It is why so many relationships fails,
it's not just financially their divorcing,
because they have no foundation a structure,
and married for the wrong reasons;
they thought it was right and when the honeymoon
stage was over, they're ready to quit,
becuase one of the partners was misleading,
and deceitful.
And yes it sucks but it's reality.
Not all are lucky to find that one,
some of us settle for someone less but they
must learn to change in order to work;
some challenges must flourish,
in order to see where a relationship goes,
like life it's a make it or break....

To me when you get married you should love that person. And loving somebody means (in a short definition) being able to willingly give up your life for that person.

I also believe that you should be a virgin when you marry. Actualy, i have nothing against people who aren't a virgin when they marry, it's not like it's wrong, I just know that I will be one when I get married.

I DO NOT believe in divorce. My parents are divorced and it causes me a lot of pain and suffering.

When you marry someone, your heart should truly be in it!

Ok.

You can, of course. Aren't you afraid that your sex drives won't match? Or that you just don't "click" sexually? Regardless of what religion claims, sex is an important aspect of any mature relationship, and not having experienced it before marriage is to me a folly.

Whereas them staying together, gritting their teeth, not speaking to each other, being vindictive, being convicted to each other on a daily basis, gradually hating each other more - that would have left you completely unscarred?

All the more reason to have sex before marriage, then at least you know what you're getting yourself into.

Now then, her parents are divorced. She doesn't know what it's like to live in a constant war zone, to be screamed at by a parent who now hates your other parent, or to be caught in the middle of an argument between two people you love dearly but who're demanding that you join them in hating and degrading the other.

I may get married or I may not. The papers and the ceremony mean little to me, what matters to me is the relationship. I don't need those papers or ceremonies to tell me that it's gonna be forever, or at least a long time.

I have nothing against divorce, either. People change, sometimes they aren't the same as when they first got married. Sometimes they ere totally different from who they thought they were marrying. Stuff happens, just keep it amicable and don't get the offspring caught in the crossfire.

Marriage predates with the Christian religion. So, no, I don't think it has anything to do with a good christians service to their lord.

Marriage has also been used, and is still being used as a means to enslave certain members of society, to keep them seperated and serving the dominant groups. This isn't how it should be and I protest greatly, and loudly, against those who say it should be that way.

Marriage, any love-relationship should be between equals, with equal responsibilities. Anything less is sickening. Any god worth worshipping would feel the same.

Homosexual marriage is no different than heterosexual marriage. As long as there is equality and love (there cannot be love without equality, not truly) then it's all good in my book.

Sex before marriage, doesn't matter. I personally am waiting for LOVE before I have sex. It doesn't have to be forever, but I'd like to be in love with them. To me, sex before love is kinda sad, but not any of my business.

I believe that marriage is a wonderful way to spend your lifetime with a person you hopefully know well enough to stay with till you die.
I feel that most divorce stems from either not knowing the person you married well enough, or marrying some one you did not really love enough to accept as they were. Marriage should be a joyful joint effort with both people giving & receiving - no one having to submit or be subservient
