Topic: Is Marriage a contract or a union? - page 4. (Read 650 times)

From what I understand is that so many people don't get married because of love rather they get married because of lost and wealth or maybe because they need someone to help them out in their businesses or to take care of their kids when they give birth. If the reason why Mr A marries a woman and he no longer see that which attracted him to the woman anymore, he will ask for a divorce because he didn't marry because of love.

What I mean is this, I might get married to a lady because she is rich, this means that I got married to her money and not her, and the moment inside the marriage, something happens that made her to loss her wealth, you will see it that I will no longer be interested in marrying her again, because the wealth is gone. If couples allows love to lead in their marriages, no matter the challenges that they are facing, they will tolerate one each other and stay strong to overcome it together as one. Another thing that can help again is to always have time to listen to your partner so that both husband and wife can know how to solve whatever issues that is before them.

Marriage is a union and not a contract, but when two persons that are not meant to be joined together as husband and wife, it will become a contract because divorce will be the case. 

It depends how you look at it. Money often divides people and I've noticed that couples that are rather poor or of average income work together to achieve something, but people who both have a lot of wealth tend to look at marriage like a business deal. Before they start living together they already divide assets to know who takes what if they split.


They really need to agree it with parents in your country? The people that I know simply announce it to their families and don't have to ask for permission.

Marriage is both a union and a contract. It is a union because both agreed and with their parents to married and the scriptures made it to be more the union.
It is also an agreement because when there is a disagreement which must have led to an irreparable damage, there is no other option than to end the contract.

It is not nice to call a divorce a menace. If they fall out of love and eventually does not divorce, such a situation may lead to murder. Would you prefer that someone dies or they go their separate ways. If you do not want divorce, simply correct those things that lead to divorce.

The rate at which we hear of divorce cases this days around the world is heart breaking. Particularly in the western world. What could be the main reason for this menace in our society. It's a menace because  when children are involved, they will be the one to suffer divided attention even though the law forces the parents to pay for their support. The question will then be: is financial  support all that it is to raising children?

If these divorces  are base on the way its viewed as a contract then it must have an end surely  because no contract last for a life time. However,  if marriage is look upon as union based on religious belief, then there a bidding involve. Ironic bonding transform the individuals to one flesh. So, if any party think of divorce, they will as well reflect on the impact it would have on themselves. Can you separate yourself?
