what is does marriage mean to you?
56 Answers
to cut a long story short i want to get married, my partner of 5 years doesnt, he thinks marriage is only a piece of paper. I on the other hand think its more than that. Were not arguing about it, just having a debate and just wondered what all of your thoughts are on it? i think that morally its the right thing to do, especially when you have children, that its the best way to show your love and are totally committed to eachother, i think it sets a stronger family unit and sets a good example to your children. god i can go on and on......
Im not naive and stupid to not know that its hard work and its all happy ever after (im a divorcee) but i still believe in it despite that. What are your thoughts? this should be interesting???????

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When we married in 1975 it meant a lot more than it does today, and the vows included love, honour and obey which has now departed the ceremony, I am led to believe, and it was till death us do part not til divorce us do part. Mine was the former bu there are plenty on here, apparently, for whom the latter applies
I would NEVER get married again.If you are in a warm and loving relationship why feel the need to 'prove' it ? Getting married complicates things and if you ever break up(and married or not this can happen)it is a lot easier to ds-entangle yourself if there is nothing legally binding you to each other.That's just my opinion though and I know many will not agree with me but having been divorced twice I know which option I would choose.
To me it means lost of photos, dead relatives and curly perms:

I'm not a great advert for marriage but think it works well for a lot of people..........most people who get married stay married, I've no idea what the stats are for co-habiting couples. My sister has been married for 44 years and my brother for 29 years, my daughter has no intention of ever marrying.
the odd thing to me is that all his brothers and their wives on there have all divorced bar one (and they were seperated for several years) and his sister too was divorced, but my side, including all cousins, all stayed married, even his mum and dad and aunts and uncles had all more than one marriage. None of mine did except my aunt who's first husband was killed in the battle of britain
