what are your views on marriage? do you want to get married? do you think it's an outdated concept? why do you believe that marriages tend to fail so miserably nowadays?
i have a mix of views about marriage. i'm engaged so i obviously believe in marriage. i look forward to it and feel comfortable committing to someone for the rest of my life. i don't think marriage is for everyone though. actually i don't even think it's for most people. i think probably 80% of people would be better off not being married. |

I'm not sure I'd want to get married if it weren't for the legal benefits that you get from being legally wedded to someone. As Yan Lin said, I don't need anyone or anything to tell me that I love my boyfriend/partner and want to stay with him for the rest of my life.
I think that the reason ~42% of marriages in the US fail because people get married too young and/or too soon. They don't date each other long enough to know if they could live together for the long term, don't experience enough problems and setbacks to strengthen their relationship; it's only after they marry and start a family that they realize they aren't cut out to be together and raise kids properly. People sometimes get married after just six months of dating, but I would date a guy for at least two years, most likely more, before marrying him. |
