What does marriage mean to you?

[turk179]

I am really interested in everyones opinion on what marriage means to you all? I am not looking for definitions unless it is your own personal definition.

It's a promise between a man and his wife that they will strive to live together in harmony and faithfullness. It also means being able to spend eternity with that person.

 

[The Black Whirlwind]

a bond of love between a man and a woman, to cherish and to love, blah blah blah. you all know the rest.

 

[Jaymes]

Two consenting people making a commitment to be there for each other come hell or high water.

 

[mr.guy]

The end of life and all things.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

People deciding they wuv each other and wish to declare that to the world.

 

[turk179]

The end of life and all things.

I have to admit, I never really pictured marriage as the end of days:biglaugh:.

 

[The Black Whirlwind]

the end of freedom.

 

[Majikthise]

Something society expects of two people who want to live together, have sex and raise children.

AGGGGGH noooooo evil! Evil! *Huddles in corner* Marriage is just a christian excuse for lust

What does marriage mean to me? I really don't care since I doubt I ever will be married.

I think it's a union of two bodies and souls who love each other.

As I have been married twice and when the divorce goes through...divorced twice, I don't really know if I can answer this without a lot of thought. My question is...Orion...WHY are you asking this??? I guess I can always go wake you and find out LOL

 

[turk179]

Don't get too scared hun . The reason I was asking was because of the thread "What's wrong with premarital sex?" The debate seemed to be going in the direction of trying to define what marriage was, so I thought it was best to come here and see what everyones opinion on the subject was. I will take a shot at answering the question though.

To me marriage is a union between two consenting adults that are joined together by love, commitment, honesty, and trust. Whether or not this union is legal is irrelevant to me. I have no problem with two people wanting the legality aspect of marriage but to me it is a far shot from what marriage truly is.

 

[Malus 12:9]

Marriage is just two people giving in to each other and calling it a marriage :biglaugh:

I have never seen such a bunch of cynics in my life! :biglaugh:


Marriage is the union between two people who wish to spend the rest of their lives together, through the good and the bad; to help each other and to complement each other's weaknesses and strengh.

As a Christian, I can also enjoy the thought that our union is one blessed by the Lord, and that hopefully, our children have been brought up in a home full of Love.
