Marriage and the family

Is the family dead? Do you think it's necessary anymore for people to marry? How do you see the family in 50 years time?

Um...
I don't believe marriage is dead. Unless there's something someone hasn't told me.

I don't see the point in "marriage" i prefer "civil relationships"

I've just spent weeks studying this in school...IMO, marriage doesnt really make much of a difference to a relationship, after all its just a piece of paper.

Marriage is like love...overrated, and just asking for trouble

.......and don't get me started on 'family'

H-F-P-R

i've never believed in marriage, and i'm never gonna get married. unless Pharrell Williams asks
and as for family, i'm going to adopt. why populate the world more when there are orphans out there?

Marrige is techincally meant to be a religious celebration. (It was invented to become one under Gods name)

Henceforth, I believe only followers of one of the specific religions should marry.

i dont really see much of a difference that marriage makes except that you get tax cuts and your pregnancies are looked at as blessings as oppossed to sins.

I'm studying in in RE at the moment and i have sweet f a all idea of where to get information on it from anyone got any ideas?

I don't know. Marriage is something special. It depends, though, but most people agree.

I want to get married. I think.

I wouldn't say marriage is dead. It depends how you look at it.
Marriage, to me, isn't really a big commitment. You're married, big wow, you can get a divorce, no big deal. It's having kids that matters.

OMG, they killed marriage!


Nah... But I think the term "marriage" needs some re-definition.

yeah i agree we need to have a look at today's society

i think people should do what they like. but to me marriage can make a family. who would want there parents able to dump each other at any time. marriage means i want to love u forever no matter what. it's one of those things u do when u love someone so much. marriage matters and it should matter for a family.

I agree. I was brought up in a Christian home (nope, not gonna preach), so the whole idea of getting married and raising a family was taught early on. Having said all that, when I got out on my own I ended up living for about a year with the guy I ended up marrying and having two terrific kids with. We're still together 24 years later. I'm not saying it's always smooth sailing, but we manage to work things out.
