dominsane Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I don't mean to offend anyone... But..why do people get married? I mean...marriage is supposed to be sacred, right? When you get married, you promise to stay with this person through thick and thin, until he or she dies(or until you die). I know that when people get married, they think that they'll make it. And there is no way to make sure that this is going to happen. No matter how much you *think* it will... So why do people get married?

Pink Amulet Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Unlike years ago, marriage is no longer a life sentence. It is more like "for the forseeable future" as opposed to "death". I think it's good, we all change and grow in our lives. Sometimes this self growth estranges your from the one you once loved. It has become acceptable to leave when you are no longer happy. Life is too short to waste with unhappy days. People marry because it makes them happy, people divorce because that makes them happy too... *I don't think of myself as an optimist- just a realist*

But guess what? Some of us DO make it. It's a gamble just like everything else. I mean why bother trying to get a certain job? There's no guarantee you'll like that and like all the people? Ok, maybe that was a dumb analogy but you get what I'm saying?
quankanne Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 it's a big leap of faith (or a gamble, if you will) into the future. You don't know how it turns out, but you're still willing to take that chance with him/her because you believe in what y'all have together. And that every day you stay with this person, you act on that belief that you belong together. it's one thing to tell someone you love them, but another to commit yourself to the long-term by getting into that legal/spiritual/emotional bond with them ... which all goes back to the leap of faith thing.
