In the modern situation is marriage benificial and necessary,?

Well, I don't think marriage is necessary. Some people stay partners and committed with our marriage. I think in the sense that it will confuse your children that it might be benificial if you got married. I think it would be tough to explain a commited relationship to kids, when you are not married. \n\nIt will also help in terms of medical coverage, and any medical problems that could arise should some one need power of attorney in case a decision needs to be made on life support.

. that is the true test. although in today's world marriage is only until divorce. are you and he willing to make a vow. in short, why marry if you get all without commitment. walk away when times require committment. \nBe true to yourself, not to someone using you.

marriage is just a piece of paper. Love makes all the difference. Why do you need a contract that is non-binding anyway?

Personally I think you should have sex before marriage and live with the person. Marriage is forever you need to know if you can stand that person and their ways, all their ways. Now my religion says another but I listen to my instinct first.

no.financial stability is also very important.even with all the love,understanding,trust etc.,it's hard to make the relationship work with hungry mouths to feed

The best way I can answer is by asking you a question. If you weren't born married, is it really a necessity? And no one can put conditions on you unless you subscribe to them yourself. Let yourself be free. Live the way you want and determine your own value system. The concept of marriage in its purest form is a great idea, its those who complicate it with their poor decisions that make it seem to be unattractive. Me, I knew at the age of ten that I wasn't going to get married because I saw no point in it. And I am not a playboy either. I have many women friends that I enjoy platonic rewarding relationships with. Too many people are getting married for the wrong reasons. They make it seem harder than it really is.

Financially, yes. \nHowever, obligation would be a wrong word to use for that. \n\nIn India, dowry is a common feature in marriages. However, it is in most of the cases, not asked by the man, but is given away to him as a csutom.\n\nThis could include money, furniture to set up new house, house, car, appliances, investment instruments, and anything that might help the new couple. \n\nIts the couple who gets it, and most of it is given by the girl's family. \n\nMost of the young people now look down upon dowry, and do not demand, in fact even refuse it at times. It had kind of become a social curse.\n\n\n\nIn Hindu religion, the pair takes "saat phere" (seven steps). These seven steps represent the sacred Hindu marriage vows: \n\n1. Let us take our first step to provide for our household by keeping a purer diet and avoiding those things injurious to our health.\n\n2. Let us take the second step to develop our physical, mental and spiritual powers.\n\n3. Let us take the third step to increase our wealth by righteous means and proper uses.\n\n4. Let us take the fourth step to acquire knowledge, happiness and harmony via mutual love, respect and trust.\n\n5. Let us take the fifth step so that we are blessed with strong, virtuous and heroic children.\n\n6. Let us take the sixth step for self-restraint and longevity.\n\n7. Finally, let us take the seventh step to be true companions and remain lifelong partners in this marriage.\n\n(see complete details of Hinud marriage at \nhttp://lauraandvikram.weddingwindow.com/...\n\n\n\nIn Islam, there is Khutbah which the Imaam recites at marriage.\nSee meaning at\nhttp://www.mehbooba.co.uk/knowledge/articles/husbandsobligations.shtml\n\nThis is true for Hindus and Muslims anywhere in the world.

If you observe upper middle-class marriages of 10 years or longer, you will probably still find five kinds of marriages: (1) Conflict-habituated which is a constant battle over almost everything. (2) Devitalized in which the partners have lost their love and "drifted apart," i.e. they take care of the children but they don't fight a lot. (3) Passive-congenial where the partners have been apathetic all along, e.g. marriage was a convenience--or economic necessity--or they are more interested in careers or friends than spouses. (4) Vital marriage in which being together and sharing are the major joys in life. (5) Total marriage is like the vital marriage, except almost everything is done happily together. Obviously, marriage ranges from wonderful happiness every day--only 15-20% are vital or total marriages--to miserable on-going fights (or divorce). This should offer some hope of happiness to those who are unhappy...but a warning to young people in an already rocky relationship

why do people in this day and age need to get married?

no...a marriage with a relationship is loving not just living together..

Marriage is a business, and the license makes it legal.  It is there to protect women's interests as far as property is concerned, and for raising children.  It is a protection.  if you don't plan on staying with someone, or having children, or making property community, there is no need for it.  People shouldn't enter into it lightly, and I think it would help the divorce rate if the benefits of marriage were eliminated.  People couldn't marry for money, or insurance, etc...

NO! marriage is a special thing a man and woman do together because of love and deep devotion, not something a money-hungry person does!

Marriage is a great experience. However, i would strongly suggest that you are prepared for it. It's a lot of work and compromise, but if you're truely dedicated it's so worth it.

Yes, marriage is just a bit of paper.  And it costs alot of money to get married these days - some couples simply cant afford it but that doesnt mean they love each other any less than a married couple.\n\nYou can do all the same things as married people, just without paying a fortune to be a Mrs rather than a Miss

If you're asking whether societally people are still expected to find one person and marry them, then I would say that it applies less so than in the past, but marriage and a family is still what is generally expected by people. Certainly, people who choose not to marry are not as unusual as they once were, and it's more accepted to be unmarried. As proof, the words "Old Maid" and "Spinster" have virtually disappeared from the lexicon. \n\nIf you're asking if humans in general want to marry for life now like they used to, I do think the desire is still there, perhaps primally, in most people. As long as you find someone you truly love, it's natural to want to cement that person into your life with the convienient institution of marriage. I think fewer people just get married because they feel like they "have to" nowadays, however.
