robyn	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 4:00AM my 39th wedding anniversary is coming up. i am very much in love with my husband, and he with me. marriage shows more commitment than just living together. to say you don't need a piece of paper to say your committed is BS. if your really that committed, why not marry? living together means your committed until someone better comes along. if you're afraid it won't work, it won't. marriage shows that you know it will, and you're willing to stick with it when problems arise, which they inevitably do. it shows respect for each other and for your children. it also shows respect for your parents. it's the morally and legally binding. this is my opinion. i hope that helps.

HeartofHearts	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 3:57AM well, i guess that i'm still considered a newlywed. with me, it's not that deep. i just met the person that i wanted to spend the rest of my life with and that was that. i love the stablity and having a family of my own is really important to me. maybe one needs the piece of paper, maybe one doesn't. i am glad that we can all decide for ourselves what we should do. marriage is important to me b/c it is a reminder of a promise that i made to someone. to share a promise like that-- a vow-- it's a really powerfully positive thing to share with someone who feels the same. it is awesome, in the truest sense of the word.

koyptakh	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 1:25AM Hi Dredd13 I think the central point is to try to give security for raising children. I wonder if this is not a mistake myself because it might lock in unhappiness which is not good for children anyway. The reality is you can not make promises to the future because you just do not know. Simply being together is best in my view. There is great responsibility in freedom which institutions relieve you of by taking your freedom. :) Rated: +2Vote for this!

jouster	Posted Aug 20th, 2009 at 5:24AM Marriage is not a religious institution, as in most other aspects of life the Church muscled in on it to take control! Marriage was, and is, first and foremost intended to provide a stable environment for raising children! Rated: +1Vote for this!
