marriages now in days

       In my opinion, marriages now in days are not what they used to be back in the days.  I agree with what the book America now when it says that managomy plays a huge part in marriages now.  From what I have seen, marriages are happening now more by young people, more teens are getting married. Teens are getting married with the first person they claim to "love"without knowing they have their whole lives ahead of them.  Later on they end up meeting someone else and temptations or curiosity starts and that is how cheating starts.  For that reason they defeat the whole purpose of a marriage.   Marriage is not strong in America anymore because the percentage of people getting married is decreasing due to the percentage of divorce is increasing.  Love is not the reason why many young people are getting married anymore, the reason why they do is the physical attraction, the sex.
       Back in the days from what I have heard, People got married either because either they loved each other or because they were forced into marriage because a couple had a baby.  People that got married for love, are the people that have grown old together and are living happily. The couple that were forced in to marriage grew to learn how to love each other and be happy with their spouse and family.  Now in these days, there are still couples that are forced in to marriage by their parents because they believe that kids come after marriage.  If you have a baby before marriage, the right thing to do is to get married and live under one roof.  
      The idea of temporary marriage to me really has no purpose.  It is a dumb idea to do or to even have in mind as an option.  Why get married if one is able to choose for how long?  Might as well not get married and just live under the impression you are.  Temporary marriage really defeats the purpose of being married.
      To me, marriage is a beautiful thing.  Marriage is something that happens because two people love each other and are planning to be together for a long as they can.  Divorce should not even go through anyone's head if they really love each other.  The laws of after marriage is something no one should want to go through.  I cant imagine having to split everything down the middle with my spouse if it is something i worked hard for.  Without a prenuptial, no one really has control of who gets what after the divorce is final.
      Getting married is something I want to do with my fiance when we are ready.  Having a baby together has shown that it is not easy being together.  Although in my heart i know he is the one i want to be with.  All i want is to be happy with my own little family and show my daughter what a happy and good family she has.  I know that soon I will be ready for the big commitment.

  1. I agree with you when you say young marriages these days have a lot to do with sex or physical attraction. I have seen so many young people marry for that reason and divorce months down the line for the craziest reasons.

  2. I don't think its right to have a temporary marriage because when you think about it, its just a waste of time you wont care of the other person so why even try. But anyways i agree with you about it being a dumb idea.

  4. I agree with you that marriages are beautiful, when people do them right. It is true young people get married to early and ends to divorce. I think its great that you're taking things slow with your little family until the time is right, best of luck in life :)
