Hi everyone, my name is Daniel and i am engaged to "Purplecat" (Kelly Thomas). i love her very much. My question is? Is Marrage okay in this day and age?

Marriage is just a religious contract, if that is what you want then do it but if you just want to live together without the paperwork then that should be ok also. You can not let others make your decisions...either way, Good Luck

I beg your pardon but religion stoled marriage from the civil authority so they could cash in on it. Marriage is an agreement between two people to live together and take care of each other. It can be a private verbal contract between two people with noone else there.

You should not be concerned about what everyone else thinks....... it's your life......do with it what you want!!!!

Marriage is a geeply personal issue to every couple first but also to families , and the community at large.

The community at large seems to have mixed views what their stake in this is. Sometimes giving those that marry breaks and other thimes not so much. Lot of legal rights and resopsibilities hinge on marriage so definitely pays for everyone involved to find out just how much it brings the state into their lives.

families definitely have a vested interest. Like it or not if couples have any contact with their family then so does the spouse. Be nice if marriage was at least to some degree a happy time for all since it definitely sets the tone for the hopefully life long relationship. Since weddings have enoumous emotional value to everyone involved it pays if everyone trys to keep the concept in mind and not get too caught up in one view.

Since formal marriage also ends some rights of parents and gives spouses some serious ones couples want to know what they are doing.

Having been on both sides of the marriage coin one real bad and one real good I have to say it really depends on the people involved weather you want to make a committment of of formal marriage. With the problems related to modern life; addiction, chronic illness, financial devistation. and families taking hits right and left couples really have a lot to consider. It sure would not be a decision I would make lightly.

The idealist side of me tells me that that if you really love someon you are all in and want to commit yourself in every way possible. Personally, socially, and even in the eyes of your faith community and the greater community at large ie the government.

Good woman, why worry what others think do what you want too.....To me it is okay anytime two people want to get married....

Someday I just might try it again..........

Even as much as every one desire love, not every woman are willing to give love ,how then do I love without getting love in returned ,I have been here couple of days now ,where is my own angel, my Queen are you in the winds ? Come to me and blow me take me to love,this I will give back to you in a more resounding way thank for reading See you soon. Jordan

Last I checked it was still legal so I would say yes. Though I tell people that piece of paper takes about 20 minutes and $100 to get and a minimum of 6 months and about $10,000 and a lot of heart break to get rid of so choose wisely.

why wouldnt it be ok? do you mean morally?

or are you talking about in terms of its safety, so to speak.....?

I Think marriage is perfectly ok morally

I think its in trouble as a a family and community foundation socially

It's not exclusive to religion. You need to two dissolve it legally.


Just love her, no need to get married. Stay off the internet, work your *** off and watch The Notebook every 6 months.
