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?

well, to me, marriage is a life long commitment. and i believe the reason why couples should get married is because they want to have babies together.

I think marriage is a lifelong commitment as well. I do plan on getting married when I find the right person and we've been together long enough to know we want to spend the rest of our lives together.

I think part of the reason so many couples get divorced is because they rush into marriage without considering things in the long run, like if they'll really be able to love and live with this person until they die. Another reason may be couples that marry too young, which relates to my previous point: sometimes lack of age and/or maturity causes ignorance of just how permanent marriage is. Then there are the couples who marry out of wedlock thinking it's best for their baby. Conflicts arise later on, and one of them (usually the mother) ends up leaving with the baby. People need to think about what marriage will mean for them once it's done before actually doing it.
