To me marriage is a symbol of commitment. A symbol that says "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, only you, through the good and bad times, for richer या poorer, for better या worse. I want to prove to you, in every way -on paper and legally, through a big ceremony - that I am, and forever will be, yours."

My opinion on the significance या existance in general of marriage's purpose...currently undecided.

As for my thoughts on marriage in general (perhaps it will be easier to give आप the जवाब आप wish to find this way);

To me, marriage for society is the final step. The last step needed to verify that hypothetical Steve and hypothetical Anna will be together forever. I see it this way; a couple's relationship is neatly या messily folded woolen blanket, and marriage is the ribbon that's tied around it to make it keep its shape.

Now, do I see that view being accurate (in terms of it being correct)? Sometimes.

I usually see marriage as overrated, mainly due to the rising divorce rate, how young couples cluelessly get married just to abolish it months later, and because प्यार itself is overrated in my opinion :/

As for myself getting married...most likely no. 1) Can't find anyone close to being the least compatible partner. 2) It'll cost money to get the marriage and done, and to कन्फर्म a very possible divorce. I need all the money I can gather as of now :/

In my option, gay या lesbian marriages are okay. And for me it's just like an ordinary men-women marriage.
And if your really प्यार someone so much,you wanna spend the rest of your life with that person. With a marriage your sending a message "He/she is MINE" .. BUT most of the marriages today end up with a divorce.. SO in my option,there is still true प्यार in this world,but then again in a romantic soul,so... Anyway,if two people are meant for eachother,they will find themselves and be together.

it never gos rong cuz its प्यार and momma says प्यार is good as long as its frot the soul not body and looks =) i beleve momma!

I find it to be a religious thing, I believe that marriage is an eternal bond that sticks with two people until either they divorce, या well, that is the only way to end it really...
I believe that a family isn't just a that guy gave birth to that guy, या that guy and that girl are married, and so on, but it is an eternal thing that sticks with आप even after death.
