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?

Marriage to me is this lifelong commitment on becoming one with someone else. You think you know a person but when you get married to them you don't even know the chip of the ice berg so your forever having conversations with the other person trying to get to know them better for who they really are and accepting every bit of it and compromise. And eventually you'll become this one. I've been reading a few books as well on love and marriage and sex. A lot of things have changed; there was this one type of marriage ceremony were these two people that were coming together would stand under this chuppah. And it was the marriage of God and people. When you stand under this its like god was above them and in the end pretty much these two people were not married until they had sex and then they were announced being married.

Personally I want to get married one day, I really really really want to. But before I do I want to take premarital counseling. Some people find it to be really negative to take something like that before their marriage but I think it helps. And even if we don't find out anything quite new its still nice to know that we had great open communication.

Divorces: I think the main reason people have divorces because think about it. When people get married the one thought people have is this one person choose this other person out of the 6 billion other people in the world. They choose them.

But after a while when they stop the forms of communications and the stopping of letting the other person in and stopping the getting to know each other more and more to create this one person their supposed to create in the long run...their opinion of I choose you out of the 6 billion people in the world turns in to this sad "I choose you?" and then they start to chase something better in which the long run they actually think is better and leave the other person in the past.

Marriage is a holy thing and it should be respected with the most honor and respect in my opinion.

Although in todays view marriage has become the complete opposite.
