Do You really think marriage makes a difference?  If you reallly love one and other, what difference does it?

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

I love being married.  There is nothing better than being with someone who knows your every emotion.  Knows when you need a hug, or when you need to laugh.  Or just someone to be silly with.  Burdens are halved and joys are doubled.  It couldn't be better to do all of that with someone you love and who loves you.

You can't expect the rough roads you will encounter.  No marriage is perfect.\nExpect differences, then talk to work them out.  Take the time to know each other and reserve time for this.  This will save ALOT of heartache and may prevent bitterness toward each other.\nNo one said marriage was easy, no one said it would too difficult to overcome.  \nIt takes sacrifice and work and true commitment to the other for it to succeed.

We have a pretty steady marriage but no marriage is perfect at all times because no two people are perfect that are in it. Marriage takes work devotion and care. And you must work at it to make it successful and last. Marriage can be heaven on earth if you treasure it and make it top priority in your life. I have seen Jimmy and Karen Evans series the Rock Solid marriage and i love it. It has taught me alot and my wife loved it too. In the beginning i got weak and did things on the internet i am not proud of but my wife was a very forgiving person and a praying wife and we worked through it together and now are stronger then ever. I love my wife more and more every day. Marriage is what you make of it. The more work and time and dedication you put into your marriage the better it will be but if you dont put the time and dedication into your marriage it will fall apart and it will be sad and not happy.

A marriage can be very important if you want to be with them for life. Studies show that live-in relationships on average don't last as long as marriages do. However, do not jump into marraige just because you want to live with someone. Learn as much about the person before you make a serious commitment of marriage or moving in.

Sex in marriage is sweet but it isn't truly the point! It matters little how frequent or little. What matters is the heart and soul of the relationship and what it is founded upon. I agree sex is a need in marriage, but other issues and aspects are far more important and over the years sex becomes less and less important next to the other far more important areas involved in a marriage. yes sex is important and desperatly needed but at times. Only you can answer this between yourself and your spouce.

Yes it sure is if you choose to work at it and make it everything you can make it be. You can choose to be happy or miserable in your marriage. Love is a choice and goes way beyond just a feeling! Sad part is most people want everything easy and not want to work at their marriage or relationship! It is called laziness. If you work at and love being married and enjoy it other and love them where they are at and not try always having to try to change the other person as the only one we have the power to change at all is ourselves Our marriages would be way more successful and happier and marriage actually could be a marriage like heaven on earth! Treat your spouse with love and how you would want them to treat you and you will never go wrong! http://www.marriagetoday.org is a great website to learn more about this as well. This is how my husband and i feel about our marriage and our life together and we have a great and happy marriage! Another thing that is essential to a marriage to make it last is forgiveness and unselfish love!

It doesn't.  I think that marriage is a personal thing, so what marriage means to one person can mean something very different for another.  Unfortunately, this "institute of marriage" also means that you are allowed certain privileges and rights by the government that singles are not entitled to...that's what all the fuss is about.\n\nPersonally, I'm a straight single woman and I have many friends that are gay and straight.  I would have to say that of all my friends, I admire my gay friends the most .  They face scrutiny about their lives and personal beliefs on an everyday basis and at the end of the day, they stand proud of who they are and the lives they lead.  It is through this adversity that you truely understand yourself and your place in the world. I'm not sure I would fair so well if I had to constantly justify my life and my decisions. Kudos to those that stand up in the face of adversity.\n\nLet gays marry so they can be unhappy like the rest of us. =-)

Well after being married twice I have come to the conclusion that marriage doesn't work for me. \nI actually don't believe in it anymore.\nI am really surprised too so many people think its the answer because it just isn't

I married my first and only love.  We were together for four years before we got married.  We were high school sweethearts.  We got married right out of high school and I would't have changed anything in the world.

I used to believe it was quite archaic. I always believed in love, and considered it the prime motivaton for marriage. I believed it was the couples sole decision, and no other enity should be involved.  However, as time progessed, my feelings have changed.  In AMERICA, the divorce rate is 50%.  Somethings wrong with the system. I'm rethinking the idea of planned marriages.  They seem to last quite a bit longer.

My husband and I have been married for 29 and one half years.  Some years were great some not so great.  But we hung in there and are more in love today than when we married.  Best wishes.

I've been married and single both...and while there are advantages to both, I'd choose married. (but next time to someone I know better!)\n\nIf you're not afraid of really hard work, marriage would be better. It takes work every single day, though.

I believe marriage can work, but it really is work! If I'd known how hard it can be I might have chosen to stay single.

The definition of 'marriage' varies from culture to culture, century to century, nation to nation. In other words, there is no SINGLE valid defition. It varies. Here's a radical thought: Decide what marriage means TO YOU and to the person YOU LOVE and then act accordingly.\n\nBy the way, the same is true for 'sin'. It's all relative to who is talking. Opinions differ and no one can say who's right or wrong.
