Do you think Marriage is necessary? Why or Why Not?

No. But its want by so many people and its social norm cause it to seem necessary, where in face is not needed by anyone. For someone like me, who becomes scared and scarred from past traumas, it’s a need of security to be filled. It’s also somewhat of a rite of passage. When you’re married, you will most likely be recognized as an adult.

Yes - Marriage is needed

by Adrian on 11th Jun, 2011

I think so. Marriage for me, whether it is celebrated religiously or not, kinda reminds you to be faithful to that one person you’re marrying.

Yes

by Maya on 11th Jun, 2011

Yes, its a final step for a couple. A promise who hopefully will last forever.

by A Girl on 11th Jun, 2011

No, because you can be single the rest of your life and still be happy. As long as keep your relationship up with God, you will always have someone by your side the rest of your life. No need for a marriage to make you happy or to make for a good life.

Let him or her decide for themself

by Roshan D'souza on 11th Jun, 2011

Marriage is a Sacrament and more important than that it is a Responsibility of living together as a Family and supporting it Financially and morally. So if a person thinks he cannot fulfill the responsibilities it is better to live as one rather than being two and not in union.
Again there are people who are called to serve God for his Purpose and Ministry, so if they think they can fulfill this purpose and ministry which God wants them to do it is better for them to remain as one and fulfill God's Plan.

yes

by mari on 11th Jun, 2011

I feel marriage is necessary for any person rich or poor, literate or illiterate. Man is a social being n cannot live in isolation, he/she needs a constant partner to take care of his/her physical n emotional needs n a strong source of moral support.
Being human, one of the strongest urge is to procreate, so you remain single or get married, this urge does arise in all of us.

yes

by mari on 11th Jun, 2011

I feel man is a social animal n cannot live in isolation.He/she needs to hav a lifelong partner to take care of his/her physical or emtional needs n be a constant source of moral support.
The desire to procreate, whether we are single or married will express itself in all of us at some point of time or other.

Marry the Right Person -Don't Enter Marriage Thinking That All You Need is Love

by Bendicta D'Silva on 11th Jun, 2011

Finding Miss or Mr. Right is not always an easy thing to do. Once you think you've found the right person, you may have doubts. Having doubts about who you are marrying is not only normal, having doubts is healthy.

Hopefully you already know that you shouldn't marry someone who drinks too much, spends too much, works too much, brags too much, uses drugs or other illegal behavior, or is unfaithful, cruel, or dishonest.

Don't Enter Marriage Thinking That All You Need is Love

Blind love is not the way to choose a spouse

by Jerry Charlotte on 11th Jun, 2011

If you are unhappy and single, you'll probably be unhappy and married, too. Marriage does not fix personal, psychological and emotional problems. If anything, marriage will exacerbate them.

If you are not happy with yourself and your life, take responsibility to fix it now while you are single. You'll feel better, and your future spouse will thank you.

Your soul mate is looking for you. Don’t compromise your values.

by Sharon on 11th Jun, 2011

Your soul mate is looking for you. Don’t compromise your values.

The bottom line here is that everyone has habits we may find annoying just as we totally bug other people with our own tendencies. Your spouse does not have to be just like you in order to be a great partner. Remember, you are evaluating the appropriateness of the person you are dating as a potential spouse. Are you being treated respectfully? Are you communicating honestly and do you feel you are being listened to? And, most importantly, do you have common life goals? Are you both on the same page? If so, you might be embarking on a relationship with real marriage potential. If not, you are one step closer to finding your match. Don’t waste time if this one isn’t right.

Nature needs balance

by Mario on 11th Jun, 2011

Can positive charge exist without the negative charge? For balance in nature one must be complimented by the other. If Nature has made humans in Male and Female, it is for a purpose, to attain balance. Nature only knows the requirement of balance. Hence when a person wether woman or man reaches adulthood marriage is required for balance.
But remember that it is not possible to nature to balance using an apple and a banana. Thus it is of utmost importance that the two people blend with each other, compliment each others existence and have similar beliefs.
When we use tunning forks, the frequencies of both the forks must be in phase for them to co-exist. else they will cancel out each others energies. If the frequencies of both tuning forks are the same resonance takes place and high level of energies are obtained. In the same way, both individuals must vibrate in the same frequencies or in easier terms have similar thought patterns. They should be able to have a similar opinion about various environments.
Relationships are successful when there is a good mental connection. Not physical animal attraction.

marraige depends on circumstances-Life in general

by Steve Robertson (Alban John Lewis) on 12th Jun, 2011

Life byitself is holy and sacred and all need to brim to the fullest, all qualities on the good side when kept vital, all live by principles and that itself is unity, diversity. Marraige need not be abused, it ought to be respected and given its due merits, not all need to committ to marraige, you feel the desire to live a priest or nun, go ahead and treat marraige issues with support to help the married, sick and with tumor if a woman needs your child and will respect and raise your offspring, fine, however today dead people too can get children if a woman wants and it was arranged with medical technology. Children can be conceived through a sperm bank too, finally all these needs for rasing and making a better world, a single lady desring children can also fulfill single handed her desires of love and sharing of love and so on, children when they grow they will love their mum who gave borth and raised them.. so marraige today is basically love in marraige, and sigles too with children never married can also have a great joy of family.

by Jennifer on 12th Jun, 2011

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another should rest on the same pillow.

The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

Yes It Is

by andy on 12th Jun, 2011

yes it is..Imagine living a lonely life as you grow older.
Friends married and having kids and parents getting older.
Its a natural human tendency to want someone for their emotional and physical needs.
Its a different story if a person has been called to be a priest/nun or if a person finds peace remaining single.

Part of God's plan for mankind

Marriage is Necessary

by Arturo Flores on 13th Jun, 2011

Marriage is necessary because Jesus Christ instituted it. If it were not necessary then Jesus Christ would not have instituted it.I'm talking about marriage administered by priests and not by judges or mayors. Valid marriages are those administered by priests and clergies recognized by the catholic Church. Valid marriages are elevated by Jesus Christ into the level of Sacrament. And as a sacrament marriage is a source of grace. It is only within the context of the sacrament of matrimony that the sexual act between a man and his lawful wife is not a sin. Outside the sacrament of matrimony a sexual act between a man and a woman who is not his lawful wife or a woman and a man who is not her lawful husband is sinful. Therefore marriage is necessary.

Marriage and Responsibility

by PRD on 13th Jun, 2011

Marriage reminds one that there is responsibility and commitment to the person you decide to be with. Only when we are true to ourselves can we bring the best to our marriage and bring out the best in a partner. It is a mutual honorable agreement that free thinking individuals undertake!! Leave the choice to the concerned couple!
