Do you think that marriage is a short term solution to a long term problem?

Question

In the society we live in, people with power(Money, Looks, Fame) are appreciated the most, and get a lot of attention and respect from others till they become addicted to their approval.

so being accepted and approved by one person is not enough anymore. and I think celebrities prove this over and over.

Your opinions?

Answer 1

More like a long term medicine for a short term ailment

With plenty of side effects too!!

Answer 2

Are you saying that a high profile person cannot succeed in marriage because it only consists of one person giving them attention? That they crave the numerous admirers to give them the adulation that they need?

Well, if they marry someone who is also a celebrity, which is often the case, the marriage is under the scrutiny of the public eye and that would cause pressures. They say there is a price to fame and that would be one of them. However, not all high profile marriages end in divorce.

If the celebrity is looking for some kind of respite from the relentless attention that they receive, then they might consider marriage as a way out of it. But, if they continue to want that appreciation and respect from others, then, yes, I think it is a short term solution.

To effectively address the issue from being a long term problem, they would have to seriously look at themselves and make the changes so that they aren't constantly craving attention from the masses.

Answer 3

Marriage is not and can`t be a "solution" to a problem, one gets married when there`s Love, and it`s forever.

Answer 4

So what is the long term problem you're "hinting" at?

Answer 5

I guess it depends what  you wanna hear...sometimes answers you hear doesn't match what you believe in so the  answer becomes unfavorable.

We cannot compare our relationships with celebrities or the  elites they usually are so independent they don't need each other. sometimes financial, not being famous, or not good looking makes us appreciate each other and dependent on one another b-cuz we don't fit one or all those descriptions.

Marriage is not to be used as a solution! the whole act is suppose to become one with someone else combining one  life  with another... sharing  it.

Answer 6

I don't think marriage is about getting acceptance and approval from one person.  It is about building a partnership with which to go through life.  It is a whole lot easier to face the inevevitable crises and suffering life brings if you have someone to share the burden with.  Likewise, the joys and miracles of life are best when shared with another.  Acceptance and approval may be a feature of a good marriage, but it is not the point of one.

Answer 7

Total Quality Marriage, means that a couple is willing to look at all marriage components, and be committed to improve in every area.... Husbands and wives will work together, each taking responsibly for themselves, and the development of their relationship with the other....Problems in marriage often arise when participants have a mistaken notion as to what they can rightfully expect from marriage.

I don't knoe where you are coming from on this, marriage is a sacrament given by God, and should not be looked upon as a solution to anything.
