riflessivo AlmafuerteStaffordshire United Kingdom 40, joined Jan. 2014	I've been married. But I recognise it was both our faults why it failed. I learned from it. I think if you recently got divorced or another person deceived or cheated then I can understand why people feel it's obsolete. It lost it's meaning. I just married too young. To the wrong person. So maybe that's why I see it differently?

People have come and gone and they still back each other 100% Funny when I was younger my mum used to wait all day for my dad to come home. She'd make his dinner and then he'd read the newspaper and fall asleep. She waited all day for that. Now my dad makes dinner as he's semi retired and my mum comes home, eats dinner and falls asleep lol But they love each other.

Holding a ceremony and chanting, and getting the local police to enforce your promises for you, has never worked as designed. Marriage as a true commitment and way of living and loving, has always worked.

True, but our grandparents came from a totally different era and mindset about life, the genders, and marriage. If they were raised in this era...they wouldn't have been the persons they were that had a marriage last that long.

amusicluvr Salem, OR 62, joined Nov. 2013	Marriage is not obsolete. It still bestows certain legal rights that non-marriage does not. Certain people-at certain income levels-are always going to want the legal rights that marriage bestows, so they will always seek marriage. They will be 'upper middle income', and above types. Lower income types do not get the legal benefits of marriage, and they do get all of the detriments of marriage, so they are tending to marry less. The poorer you are, the less apt you are to marry. The richer you are, (or you want to be) the more apt you are to marry. Since marriage always benefits the government, marriage will always be present in some form at some level of society. If the government decides that too few people are marrying, the government will change current laws, policies, department regulations, etc, so as to encourage more marriage. Requiring poor people to be married in order to qualify for Welfare would be one way to do so. [Edited 1/7/2015 1:00:52 PM ]

numbersor_only Austin, TX 55, joined Nov. 2014	Marriage is not quite as defined as it used to be. Freedom to be you and me has injected some amount of subjective interpretation of marriage. In the old days, all you needed was a pocket knife, so you could cut a stout branch from any nearby bush, to settle things. Now, holy hell on the half-shell, it takes some impossible mixture of daytime TV show morality and the threat of restraining orders to guarantee marital bliss. Obsolete is too strong. Unlikely, is more like it. Kids today just don't care one way or another whether their parents are in a solid and government sanctioned union, or just had a few minutes and nobody watching on a late night bus going downtown.

They supported each other, and dedicated their lives to family first. Never gave up....even in hard times. Most people now a days are too selfish and self absorbed for that kind of commitment. One spouse might be.....but the other won't be. That's why a lot of marriages fail today as compared to then. If you have 2 people that are truly like minded... Then it will last....and stand the test of time.

lookin4him2012 Boone, NC 46, joined Jan. 2012	Quote from chitowngirl78: Nope, I just think people get married for the wrong reasons. I do too. I think people rush in to marriage and don't realize they really want that person yet but get overwhelmed with the happy feeling that love gives them and later on after living day to day with that person they realize they made a mistake. I also think people grow and change a lot in a marriage and the younger they get married the worse it can be. If both people don't change together then one will get tired of that and move on. My first boyfriend I ever dated was for 11 long years and I knew after half that time of dating that he wasn't the one I wanted for a life long relationship or marriage. It took dating him a long time to realize it and I'm thankful to this day I never entered in to a legal marriage with him. ugh. I am very glad I just wasted time dating him and could walk away in the end.

Sadly, the world is not like that any more. Too bad. It's not like that anymore because more and more women choose to go out and work and refuse to let the husband be the man. But then again, I let my ex-husband be the man and lived exactly like your grandparents did but he still left me for someone else. So that doesn't always make a person happy. Plus, you never know when someone is unhappy and just so old that they hang in there til death because it's the choice they made. The older generation didn't divorce like they do now. They stuck it out even if they grew older and didn't really like the situation, they hung in there because of the commitment. Some were miserable and you never would have known it because of the smile they kept on their face.

My parents were married 64 years when she died a couple of years ago. Most of the ladies in the nursing home were only married once, they still love their husbands. People were taught to stay married and work things out. I blame media and movies for painting an unrealistic picture of what life is. So many people are looking for someone who does not exist. No one is perfect because we are all human. I think under the right circumstances love and marriage is the most beautiful thing in the world. Anyone want to get married? Lol.
