if you do have strong values and faith towards the sanctity of marriage.

as we are not merely talking about love here...
we're talking about commitment and sacrifices as well.:smile:

I would love to find the right man to marry. However, marriage is a contract and I believe two people should only marry if they intend to stand behind the vows that they make to each other in the ceremony. Marriage takes work. It takes communication, love and compromise. You either commit or you don't. There are so many people these days that take marriage pretty lightly. If it isn't working out, off to divorce court they run as if the vows they took were " to love, honor and cherish...until I decide I want something different" !!! frustrated frustrated

True marriage isn't something to take lightly. Marriage is beautiful and can also be dangerous. I'm surrounded by married couples they my friends,and sometimes they argue bt because they christians they have no choice to work out their marriage because they receive the word of God every Sunday and Wednesday

Only if you find out later that she is under the age of consent and charges will be filed if you don't get married.

Then it is mandatory! :wink:

*[[Mat 19:10-12/ISV]]* %v 10% His disciples asked him, “If that is the relationship of a man with his wife, it’s not worth getting married!” %v 11% “Not everyone can accept this saying,” he replied, “except those to whom celibacy has been granted, %v 12% because some men are celibate from birth, while some are celibate because they have been made that way by others. Still others are celibate because they have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom from heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

You can choose to live a life without marriage as is your choosing. You can choose to stand on your own two feet. That is up to you. Not everyone wants marriage or a relationship. Mother Teresa didn't.

At or over 50, the pressure is off. The individuals can decide to “live together apart”, live together, & maintain a commited relationship without "Marrige". Of course, people can still choose to marry, but that’s entirely up to the individuals. However, if the individuals chose to not marry, they are able to avoid legal battles in the event things don’t work out & retain a measure of freedom in the relationship if that quality is of importance to them.

not mandatory, thank god no.
It should be a desire, a wish, a choice.
I also don't really believe in the "Till death do us part" bit. I agree that should be the intention. But you can not ever promise -let alone vow- that you will still feel the same way about a person years from now. You simply can not. Love is not something you can force. It is either there or it is not.
I don't agree that you then should confine both yourself and the other to lifelong 'imprisonment' and unhappiness because of such a vow. I don't believe they use that part anymore over here. Maybe in church, not sure. I did not get married in church, the official part in town hall only. (church wedding is not legal in Holland).
