Nice to meet you too.
For me, MARRIAGE is a really Holy thing, and I can't admit that anybody offenses it!! I know that each one has his own opinion, but I wouldn't accept that they offense Marriage just because they think so or that they're based on somebody's experience!!

Yes ideally marriage shall be sacred, but practise proves something else. Lucky are those who can prove me wrong.

I think marriage is useless. Except when it comes to taking care of kids, i can see why some sort of commitment towards that must be made.

But as far as two people marrying, its just not normal most of the times.

Neither are most commitment-related relationships.

Maybe when someones older, it becomes a comfort thing, but even then to formalise it into marriage is still useless.

Marriage like everything else, has its good and bad sides.
The good side is that you are kind of "secure" knowing that this is your family, your husband, your children... and that you and them will always be there for each other and this feeling in nice.
The important thing that most of you talked about is kids, and without marriage, so far in our society, you can't have them out of wedlock. And what's life without kids!
The other good thing is the bond that is created and develops with time between the man and woman. I for instance, know exactly what my husband thinks, feels, and we understand each other from a mere look and this is very important. It's like having a soul mate. But then again my husband and I share the same type of lifestyle, career, political affiliation, hobbies, music, movies (except the ones where 100 are killed that he loves and I hate) and so, I consider him more of a friend with whom I like to spend time and talk about everything.

Now the bad thing about marriage is that sometimes you feel suffocating, in the sense that being married and having kids is a huge responsibility and thus, you can't do whatever you want whenever you want as if you were single.
Also looking at your partner, and thinking this is the person I will spend my WHOLE life with, sometimes gives you creeps

I mean y cant let the relationship be as it is going : no bars, no holds, wish as you want.

YEs!!!! Marriage is the most sacred institution. It is where we really enter into a relationship with our OTHER HALF. The scriptures celarly state that "Marriage is WHEN Man and Woman join to become one person"

People say Marriage is a holy relationship, it is about faith, it is about trust, it is about spending entire life with someone. So if we are having trust in someone then why is it necessary to get married and to make that person get bound to us.


So acc to me bottomline is : Only 'INSECURE' persons get married. bcoz they know that their relationshipis not strong enough to keep their partners with them.

According to me only people who have dedicated their life to a meanigfull CAUSE. like Prayer, or Public service should not marry.

Otherwise, marriage is the proper place to find hapiness with the other person through a PERMANENT commitment. Only people who are afraid of committment, refuse marriage. Lack of Committment=Lack of True love for the other person.

I hope the young generation of Lebanon get the message and skip the all the LOOSING SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS of THE WEST. LETS NOT SHOOT BEHIND THE DUCK!!!!

THE WEST is just now realizing how wrong their IMMORAL practices have been on Society. I hope we in LEBANON, SKIP this step, and STICK TO OUR SOCIAL MORALS.

The WEST is being decayed from within due to their IMMORALITY. MANy are going back to strict morals, to save themselves and their families.

lol a fan of AL Bundy loooool it was a good show here in chicago, Married with Children, it described the banality of married life.

In my view marriage is an outdated institution which was placed upon the unsuspecting people due to societal constraints...
In plain English you get married to please your family no more no less. The man becomes the breadmaker and the woman the dishwasher after a year they both become babysitters and after 18 years they get dumped by their kids and forgotten.

Marriage kills "le joie de vivre" in a way u become like an informant working with your lifetime Handler, you got a daily report to make about every activity u made and u are thinking about making and sometimes what you thought about and didn't do and in the worst cases about things u never even thought about but since your spouse is convinced u did "ye3ne lezem tkoun 3melta"...

Marriage is an ambition killer it bounds u locks u up and the end kills u from within. ye3ne if you got a goal in mind forget it after u get married especially for a career oriented woman.

Was I fair enough ? and another thing thank God I didn't give birth to a girl cause I prefer to shoot her before I see her walking the aisle with some idiot that will make her his free maid.

PS: The institution of marriage should be abolished so women can really proclaim their emancipation.

I suppose you are speaking out of experience, and sharing with us your bad memories about marriage right?

Your view though about a baby girl is quite shocking, indeed for her own sake, she shall not be born!

Marriage can be sacred, everything depends on us, frailty humans! But certainly it doesnt require the institutional frame.
