Marriage

RE: Marriage
Actually, I personally think it would take the meaning OUT of a relationship.. (I can't speak for everyone of course - I'm talking at least for me personally anyway).

If two people REALLY love each other they wouldn't need to make some legal and/or religious vow or 'promise' or whatever. They'd just stay together naturally.

I don't really think love is really a narrow rigid thing that can be planned and structured! I personally think marriage kind of undermines the whole thing.

Love is a spontaneous, natural thing - it seems kind of fake (and also actually very like religion I think) to reduce it to a kind of thing like "Yes I promise I definitely really will stay with your for ever and ever and EVER. I promise!".

If two people REALLY love each other naturally, truly and spontaneously - they wouldn't need to make a rigid 'vow' or 'promise' - if they truly love each other - they'll just stay together naturally anyway.

I think marriage can be the glue that can hold two people together that actually aren't so serious that they'd stay together so long if they really loved each other that much... - but WEREN'T married.

And if they really love each other enough to stay together their whole lives - what's the point in making the vow as if it adds more meaning? I think it's more meaningful to stay together naturally and truly - without having to make a legal 'promise' or whatever...

And if it's done just for legal issues then I personally find that very lame and shallow/low and taking the meaning out of things again. But if it really matters that much to whoever does it just for that reason - then it's obviously none of my business.
