Any of you think the idea of marriage is outdated? Not necessary?

Amy ♥ not so furious ♥ 2013/02/01 17:49:26Marriage is out dated and not necessary.
+4after having been married for 22 yrs and now divorced a yr i can say that i feel being married after maybe 12 or 13 yrs... everything seemed to become an obligation rather than a want, and of course i realize that was just us and maybe not the same for everyone else....so i figured if i find a guy i want to be with in a married sort of way... id rather not actually get married, that way everyday i am with him is by choice and not obligation
This is not to say I'm against marriage. Many of my best friends are married, my parents were married, I've been married. I just don't see any necessity to it.
As for it being "essential to keeping people together" - explain the divorce rate, which is now over 50%.
Besides, I'm Christian, so I believe marriage is the bringing of a couple together into a union under God...at least for Christians.
As soon as churches stop trying to dictate to everyone is society everyone will be a lot happier and content.
Stop assuming and you will lead a happier life.
No church has no right to dictate the rules of marriage to anyone.
I do not have to assume at all. The faster churches stop dictating to society the better off everyone will be. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs, superstions and fantasies are make for those who live in the Dark Ages. I perfer living with reality and truth.
Listen my dear angry hater of all that is good, I was merely suggesting that the government get out of the marriage business and leave it to the church of your choice weather that is the church of Jesus Christ or the church of atheism.
That was all I was sayin so unbunch your panties and drive on. If you claim you don't get angry, you should check your choice of words then as they painted a different picture.
Churches can marry anyone they want to. However, they have no right to dictate to others whether they get marry or not. It is churches, not the government, who have interferred with marriage and have demanded that only they be authorized to marry people.
No one has ever had exclusive right to marriage. So, it is time for the churches need to sort that out and stop dictating.
Yet more stupidity, there is no 'church of Atheism' Atheism is not a religion.
However, you have yourself a SUPER weekend my friend. Go Ravens!
It seems like the bigger and fancier the Wedding, the sooner it's over. I don't think many realize the seriousness of the whole thing and is less so, today, focusing on the superficial aspects of what they think it is, rather than what it really means.
A legal contract for protection in case anything happen to either one is necessary if you have kids or if one of the partners is sacrificing autonomy in order to live together (move somewhere else, leave job, stay at home to raise kid, etc). But it can be done without the religious incantations...
if it's outdated
