Marriage

–a present institution

“The lifelong commitment to one another which marriage represents is the bedrock of a stable society and the best possible environment for raising healthy children”

Peter Scott, UK

Marriage is one of the bigger and greater decision you make during your lifetime. Because the promise you give to each other it has the possibility to last endlessly. You make a decision to spend the rest of your eternity together with one another. To marry someone is more than just sharing your life; it’s sharing your thoughts, your mind, your soul and heart, forever.

“A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.”

Pearl S. Buck

You make a commitment to support, cherish and treasure your partner, whatever happens. To say we don’t want to get married is in most cases to deny ourselves. Finding that special one you want to make those eternal commitments to is the goal around the world for thousands of men and women. What a wonderful feeling waking up beside someone you know will cherish you for the rest of your life. Knowing you belong to each other forever is a grand commitment, promise, and possibility.

Once making that commitment you fight harder to hold on to each other during those rough times. When putting values and worth into a relation it instantly becomes far more serious. To have a home resting on these solid values, which a marriage contains creates a stabile and secure home for everyone included. Children who has married parents often feels more secure on their parents devotion to them and each other.

When asking people about marriage the most common reason given to get married is, one, to promise one another love, second, the legal changes made when marring. If your partner dies and you’re not married you will not have the right of inheritance. All your partners’ belongings will go to his or hers parents or children, which is often a forgotten consequence of not being married.

Being married is to legally be the other half of someone.

What’s the difference between being married and not? Well let’s look at this from two angels. The first one is when marrying for the religious reasons; they think that two parts should be joined by the will of God in a holy matrimony. People who don’t believe in those values can live together, and that’s fine for them. We also have them who marries for tradition. Marriage is a folklore used since the beginnings of history. It’s also a time for feast and joy in large scales.

Today’s marriage isn’t at as important as it was when women had no rights. Women could not own land or wote; she needed to be married to have those rights. Modern day’s marriage doesn’t fulfil the function of giving the woman her privileges, since we are living in an equal society. Today you get married for the reasons of love and security. Of course you can love someone without being married; it’s a less expensive way to start your life together.

Many sees marriage as a statement which says: “We are devoted to each other, we belong together”. These two people really intend to live with each other, for good or worse, in sickness and in health.

Couples who can’t have children sometimes think about adopting. When adopting a child a common demand is that parents must be married. That proves the view of marriage giving a relation a more stabile and solid expression.

Nowadays marriage is a big industry arranging, from the state of being a uniting ceremony between two people who love each other, with a celebration with only the closest friends and family, to a massive party with hundreds of guests. This is of course an opportunity for business. You can hire a wedding-planer who plans the entire wedding from the colour of the roses to nationality on your limmodriver.
