The high divorce figures don't seem to be putting people off marriage.

So what makes a good marriage? Faithfulness comes out top of the list.

Of course, you need to have a steady income.

You don't really need it. The most important is to find your "true match" and whether you'll be married or not is not so important. Your true love and commitment only counts.

Guess it's the idea of being fully committed to each other. We really need to take seriously this 'for better or worse' thing.

Marriage???

Let it be, let it be... let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be!!!

Marriage is beautifull when you have right person, and its much more than simple paper...when you are really happy and know person you are with

Great ! When you find a person that is not always trying to change you

I'm married, have been for almost 8 years. I've been with her for another 10 on top (we got married on our 10 year anniversary). I think I am very lucky, I have found someone who accepts me, flaws and all, and who still wants to be with me for 18 years and who I adore. There have been times when things have been tough and we have fought for what feels like months on end, but since getting married it has been pretty much plain sailing, and we are happier now than at any period previously.

I think getting married has shown my wife that I am committed to her and our relationship in a way that 10 years together never could. I think she felt that I could leave at any time without consequences before we were married and that fuelled her anxiety. But making the commitment in front of our friends and family (and God I suppose) cemented to her just how I felt about her.

I believe that people should not get married unless they are sure they are with the right person and have been together for long enough time for there to have been downright horrible times, that way you know that the person you are with are in it and into you for the long haul.

It is too easy to get with someone and find yourself carried away on the new relationship highs to not think about what would happen if the relationship hits a rocky patch.

tldr; marriage rocks - but only if you've already put in the time and got through at least one major rocky spell to know you'll last.

Its a needed thing in life , so we all supposed to married

Marriage? Stay away..

Who can honestly say that they can ever truly know another person?  Anything can set someone else off.

A friend of mine was with someone from when he was 16 to 38. He had a bit of a non violent funny turn. Instead of supporting him she turned around and did everything within her power to destroy him. Now he lives with his grandma and has a criminal record to show for it too after spurious charges stuck.

No doubt she was scared shitless but after all that time you'd expect the person you're closest to to at least show a little understanding rather than try to dispose of you when times get hard.

I was divorced two times, so have experience with that. I won't say that I won't marry again but first you must be very sure to enter this and to know and live with person you wanna marry to. Always real face of other person you see when come time to divorce.

Marriage is good. Family security. You never have to go home alone. It does take a lot of work though. BE SURE

Marriage is traditional thing and everyone has follow it, but nowadays I don't see any respect that partners have for each other which was in older days, So it is better not to ruin our life by getting married.

I'm single and I think marriage is unnecessary. At least for me...

Marriage is a system made by our old people, because marriage is a security for the men and women.

Same here, I am single too, marriage involves great level of responsibility and maturity and also involves risk if you dont find a good partner.

Marriage : we must prepare anything ; financial, heart, faith and maturity
Its all about gaining responsibility throughout the family live

I'm single btw 

Bondage of a life. And carry it for whole life.

Fuck marriage. Never been married and never will be. I've seen what happens to people when it goes wrong and there's no way I'll ever inflict that on myself or anyone else.

Since I was knee high to a grasshopper the idea of staking the roof over your head and your entire financial future on the basis of how another person feels about you struck me as totally deranged. A few more relationships down the line and I've seen at first hand how quickly feelings change and how coldly you can be discarded.

Marriage started out as a straightforward contract. Romantic love was a very late arrival on the scene and it's completely scrambled everything, not that marriage for practical reasons would be any more fun.

Marriage is great but it is definitely a lot of work. Love is the easy part of marriage. You really have to have patience and dedication to make it work. Don't worry about all the statistics out there regarding divorce. Most people just aren't dedicated and are always looking for an easy way out of things. You will know when you are ready
