Marriage

[Chanz]

I think that marriage has just become something associated with God. Most marriages occur in churches and with that they are swearing their vows to one another under God's witness.

As the time grows on, more and more people begin to question who this "God" creature really is. With that people begin to think about their marriages as well.

Really, marriage doesn't provide anything more than a relationship with someone. Just the only difference is that it costs money to end a marriage and then the whole "who-gets-what" debacle. The only real need for marriage is just for two people to say that they want to be with so-so forever and this is how much I want to express what love is to you with this shiny stone in a silver/gold band. Let's go say our vows under "God's" eyes and then that is that.

And people usually look down on others if they have (a) child(ren) and the two aren't even married. But other than that I think the real reason that marriages are going down is because of the whole "God" concept as stated by the original poster.

That is just my opinion.

Because people are rude I would like to say that before commenting on this post please read the one about 3 post down.
