I don't plan on getting married. Too much trouble involved -__-
Well it's seen as a social status by most people. Plus the legal benefits that come with it.Not to offend anyone here who's married/getting married, but I just don't see the purpose of marriage. I mean, come on, you're already together, you don't need a public ceremony to prove that. =/
It's not like I'm never going to get married (though I'm not sure about that, lol), I just don't see a reason to.

I don't want to have children. I've decided years ago that I wouldn't mind raising kids, obviously provided I'm in a stable relationship and have the finances to do so, but I'm going to adopt because I'm not a selfish narcissist. Not saying all parents who produce their own kids are narcissists; I just don't understand why there is a need to have "your own" kids when so many existing kids don't have proper homes. Seriously.
Oh, now, that's not really fair, is it? Having a child isn't selfish or narcissistic any more than eating dinner is selfish or narcissistic - how can you eat when there are millions starving? And there's nothing stopping parents from procreating and adopting. =/
I appreciate marriage for the celebration and commitment it is. Unmarried couples can have just as loving and committed a relationship as married couples, of course, but of all the cultural celebrations and events and ways to physically and socially express one's happiness over a certain concept, marriage is the one for the love between two romantic partners. It's a party for you and your partner. Why not celebrate? It seems the only answer to that question is because you're too busy being cynical and countercultural to just enjoy a nice thing.
I agree 100%. I mean, even if you ARE agnostic/atheist, why not marry? It's a display of affection and love. It's showing that you're committed to your partner for life.
For marriage to work, I need a boyfriend first. That's where I'm kinda f***ed.
I gave up love a long time ago xD
But the thought of waking up to a face that loves you, comming home to a guy that's only yours.
That thought is very, very soothing ...................
I feel bad for you....
What do I think of marriage? I think it's the coming together of two people who hold a significant and loving bond, and wish to commit their lives to each other and always support one another through thick and thin. Though, obviously, not all marriages are like this.
I am not married, for I am only 18.
Again, being 18, marriage is way off in the future for me right now, but I think it's definitely on the cards for me at some point.
My parents are indeed married, and have been happily so for nearly 24 years now.
However my wedding takes place is obviously going to be a joint decision with my future partner, but personally, I wouldn't like it to be one of those quick registration ones. I go to church, and so a few of those I am closest to are Christian as well, and would probably like to see me in a church wedding, in fact my Reverend would probably want to hold the service, but if my future partner is not Christian and would feel uncomfortable with it, it's not something I'd try and push on her.
Gay marriage is fine in my eyes, I don't see why people have such a problem with it.
Children before marriage = definite no no. Before marriage I need to focus on myself and my own life, and the relationship I am building with whoever she will be, kids are the last thing I'd need at that point.
Plus it's cheaper to be single.
