Marriage is ridiculous, who needs a piece of paper to show how much they love someone? Amirite?

marriage is more than just a simple piece of paper... It's a promise to stick with someone through the good and the bad.

But it's harder to just say, "I'm done with you." if you're married. :3

To me marriage is just a legal joining of assets.

Marriage isn't a piece of a paper. A marriage certificate is a piece of paper. Marriage is a religious and social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.

My parents aren't married, and they don't need to be married to establish their love for each other. It's just a title.

Some people like to know that their S.O took that extra leap and wanted the whole world to know how much they really love them. I want to get married...oh and to whoever said its a religious ceremony, if it's so religious how come you can get married without a minister? The courthouse can do it, or you can make your own wedding w/o any religious acts and still be considered married in the eye of the law. Christians weren't the first ones who "invented" marriage fyi so stop trying to hoard it

its not really a religous thing or meant for religous people but it is something that was put into place by God for a man and a woman to be joined forever and ever. But if you consider anything with God`s name written all over it to be religous than I guess it would be to you

Marriage is not just to show love but also to provide certain profits for the two people. In case of sickness, death or inheritance (etc.) a married couple has benefits that an unmarried couple does not have. Children also play a huge part in the legal side of marriage (especially when one parent remarries). So, marriage can be beneficial for a couple and not necessarily a religious act or to just show love. It's really a personal choice and different people do it for different reasons.

Marriage isn`t a peice of paper.. marriage is commitment, it says that there is no what if... its till death do us part, taking the bridges that only fit one person together, having sex with someone who isn`t the greatest but because you love them. Sure, you could do all these things without getting married but marriage shows the world that you are going to be with one person for the rest of your life despite the what ifs.

yeah but the marriage also gives you legal rights and it makes it harder to break away from that person... And if you're religious it's also a covenant you make before God so it's A LOT more serious than what I said it was and what the O.P. said it was.

Maybe it is because it seems like so many people get married these days just to have a wedding. I believe in love and marraige and all, but so many people get divorces and re-married these days-some of the specialness isnt there anymore.

I want to get married someday... ...not because of a piece of paper. Or a ring. But because of how much one person means to me.

EXACTLY! Why should I be legally tied to someone to know that they will only be with me?

I concur completely! And most marriages end in divorce. Honestly, I'm a person who likes cold, hard facts and there are absolutely no facts of true love at all, so I don't even believe in it. So I'm probably never going to marry.

The #1 reason for divorce: Marriage

Being someone who's saving herself for marriage (not just for religious reasons, but that's part of it), it's permission to have sex.
