So today's question asks if the concept of Marriage is still as sacred as it once was? Are people marrying for all the wrong reasons or are they Getting trapped into marriages and not really knowing the true meaning of why they should be married? Are spouses really getting to know each other before marriage or are they just going off gut feeling? Divorce rates are higher than ever and just because one is married it does not mean that the relationship is perfect...What do you think?!?! Speak on it!

I personally feel like the concept of marriage has failed. Marriages are so unstable now a days. Ones wedding vows mean absolutely nothing these days. In marriages you are still very much likely to lose your mate just as you would if she held the "girlfriend" status.
ReplyDeleteI feel as if today marriage is just a joke or a trap. People get married just because they got someone pregnant. In know way shape of form do I need to marry a woman in order to take care of my child. So I just know that the concept of marriage is extremely tainted.
I just know I need to come at marriage with a very mature understanding on my shoulders. I know that it is not a game and just because I am married it does not mean that I slack off and start being any less of the man she married when we got married!
I feel you dude. Marriage is taken lightly these days. No one really gets it anymore. People do not know how to even date and find the right spouse much less to live and deal with someone for a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteJust think about the concept of marriage was predetermined once upon a time. You already knew who you were gonna marry at an early age. You were taught to court the woman and treat her like the queen (that she really was) she deserved to be treated as. But with women taking new leaps and bounds and striving to more independent roles and do not even feel the need for a man in their life. Its all messed up now a days!
Marriage is not nearly as sacred as it once was. Put simply, a majority of people will claim that they are getting married to a select individual because they love this person. In actuality, they are getting married because we live in a society where if you don't get married, you are frowned upon. Therefore, everyone strives to marry just to be "accepted" within society.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't go to say that all people view marriage this way. There are some people who do take the time to get to know each other, and truly have a strong love for each other. These are usually the couples that last. The other individuals who enter wed-lock because they have gotten pregnant, or are just rushing things are the couples that don't last.
So to answer the question, no marriage isn't what it use to be. Its not as sacred, and is more of a trend in my eyes than anything anymore.
Yea females worry about the rock on they hand and how much the wedding cost before worrying about who they marrying these days!
ReplyDeleteMarriage is supposed to be a covenant before God :-)(not about how much a wedding costs or the size of the ring) But unfortunately, most people don't treat it that way :-/

ReplyDeleteI might not know a lot but I've seen what marriage should be like in my family, my parents have been together for atleast 30 years but have been married for 19..
AND... I CAN SAY THAT....
Marriage now isnt what it was.
Reguardless of time one has known their partner before marriage, it is the mutual respect, love, maturity, loyalty, and understanding I think that bonds them together.
People who are getting married now, get married for silly reasons such as what as already been stated. And actually divorce rates are getting lower because of the view of marriage, people now tend to co-habitate. Lack of good image in society can be blamed too.

Marriage to me is no longer sacred. I feel as though more people have their heads wrapped around the day of getting married rather than the life of being married.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear females say that they want to be married at the age of like 20-25, it bothers me. I mean there is NOTHING wrong with getting married at a young age (or what I consider to be young) but I feel as though at those ages a person has not fully matured to understand that level of love. I'm not saying that you should wait till the age of like 50, but at least take the time to see if you actually want to have children with this person because at that stage in life EVERYTHING MATTERS!
I don't think some people are patient when it comes to finding the right life partner. In the end, they get scared they are going to end up alone and just rush into a relationship in which they are never happy to be apart of.
STOP RUSHING!!! THINK!! when it is your time, God will bless you with a wonderful life partner. be patient and wait in line like everyone else.
