Marriage. Some people say it is becoming obsolete. What do you think? Sadly I think it is somewhat true. So many people abuse it today. Marriage is supposed a sacred bond that two people in love should share to unite their lives and care for each other. People today are treating it as a fad and don't understand how much it is supposed to mean. Some people are now questioning the idea of marriage. These people who marry are supposed to be together 'til death do them part. for better or for worse, as long as they both shall live. Ha, apparently they must have not been listening when they agreed to that. According to recent statistics almost 50% of marriages are ending up in divorce. Fifty percent!!! Half the marriages that are being created end up broken. I thought it was 'til death to them part?

This brings the question if people really know what love is and also brings the question is marriage obsolete? So many people don't know what the heck they are getting into. So is it a good idea to marry them and have a disaster such as a divorce that destroys families? Now I'm not saying I know everything about relationships, because I definitely don't know the half of it. I'm only 16, come on. I am part of a divorced family so I know what a broken family can feel like. All these people saying how they love their boyfriend/girlfriend, its bull. I'm sorry. NOW there are some exceptions to all this mayhem. There are some real loving relationships in the world and it amazes me. I have so much respect for people who have stayed with their love for all of their lives. i think the only reason marriage is here because of legal and responsibility purposes. People are abusing this system as well. What do you think? Is marriage getting worse and worse as people disrupt its importance? Or do you think those people are giving a bad name to the people who truly love each other and have had a lasting relationship?

  1. What are the consequences of not having marriages in a society? Is marriage the problem or people? Could a couple who were together long term feel and cause just as much pain when they break up as people who were married? Just a thought.

  2. Hm that makes me think about my post. Maybe marriage isnt becoming obsolete. Maybe your right and marriage isnt the one to blame, but the people. Its just noticable that today's society in the subject of marriage is getting worse.
    It makes me wonder if in the past, people thought of divorce as maybe a horrible act and something that they shouldnt even think about considering. Then I think today, maybe people are getting more comfortable with the idea of getting a divorce by looking around them.
    Consequences of not having marriages could mean struggling finacial support if kids are involved. This may push some people into rushing to be married. The people who rush will either find a great partner, or a partner who is "good enough". That isnt a bad reason to get married, but not the best reason.
