What does marriage mean to you?

It seems like now a days marriage just doesn't mean as much as it did way back in time. It's starting to lose its touch and with the divorce numbers on a sky high no wonder people don't want to get caught in marriage in the fear of risking getting hurt.

So what does Marriage mean to you? Do you plan on getting married?

I'm not sure if I would get married or not. If I did, I'd rather wait until I was a little older. Plus it would really depend on how well me and the person got along and if the other person was in it for the long haul along with me. If they aren't in it for the long haul and won't do everything 50/50 like it should be, then I don't want to marry them.

I think the reasons people get divorced is because they are too lazy to put a lot of work into anything. Not only that, I also find that seems to be way too much expected from one or both couples in marriages these days. That's my opinion though.

Other reasons for divorces... There's some couples who can't and won't talk to eachother about anything. Which they should, but won't for silly reasons. (Or they just can't get along well enough.) That will lead to a divorce. (Communication, very important.) Then there's others who get married for really stupid reasons, while knowing that it could turn to disaster. (Getting married while intoixcated, or because someone gets pregnant, or because it was expected that so and so get married, etc.) Then I think another big part of it is in the mind. There's too many researches, studies, etc. That are out there and cause people to get ideas in their head that their marriage won't work out because most people state "this" or state "that" about how their marriages didn't work. For anyone paranoid, ideas like that can only cause problems. There's also the money issue that tends to get a lot of couples into arguements. Which is really stupid, money isn't everything. Last but not least, there are some couples who just lose that fire and flare that they once had. Those are situations that can't always be fixed. I know that there's more than just those reasons, but I am really sleepy and it's hard to list things.

I can undertsand getting divorced because of abuse issues and stuff like that. I don't know why anyone would want to stay in one of those situations.
