Marriage vows are not magical, and only sacred if the two people who speak them both MAKE them so. flowerforyou

I very much believe in marriage...it's divorce I don't believe in. frown

is a very huge deal, is not just paper; is the acceptance and committment to one another.flowerforyou
explain the word "commitment" to my ex........lol


in something like that.. it wouldn't have matter with or without the paperohwell


But that paper makes the lawyers richer and your life more difficult and allows the Government to become a very personal part of your life. Like I said earlier...why should the Government be involved at all in a religious ceromony???huh

maybe it's a touch of naivety, maybe it's because I'm still young and hopeful.. But I'd like to believe I'm not the only one that considers it a big deal and that I'll get my just one time marriage eventually...

so quit trying to burst my bubble :tongue:

It is...or it should be. I don't think enough people understand the meanng of the phrase til death us do part anymore. We live in a disposable world and marriage has just become something else to throw away.

because marriage is not a religious ceremony but a legal one. You don't have to be religious to get married.

But here is the thing..how do I know how I am going to feel 10 years down the road? The future holds no guarantees. Do you stay married forever and live a life of misery because you made an error in judgement? It hardly seems fair.

Marriage originated as a religious ceromony and was taken over by the government to make it a legal one.

I don't believe that's the case at all. I'm remaining optimistic. I know what I want, and I'll find it.

But if you could only marry within the auspices of religion, then non-religious people would not be allowed to marry. That hardly seems fair. A civil union provides certain legal protection.

I am soooo with you ((Yay))! I will only do it once!

I am NOT young, but have never let anyone burst my bubble yet! Hang in there! I truly feel that when you believe in something strongly enough and are willing to wait for it...eventually it will come to you. flowerforyou
