Question

i have to dicuss this for a p.e assignment so what do you think. is it good or bad if so why?

Answer 1

what does p.e have to do wit marriage?

but i think that marriage is a commitment to one person bc u vow under god to be faithful to that one person for the rest of ur life. its 2 ppl living a monogamous lifestyle in which they devote to eachother only. Marriage is coo. it takes u off the market an places you in the arms of the love of your life forever. =)

Answer 2

Yep, marriage is a LIFETIME commitment!!

Why? Because anyone who believes in the creation of Earth by God, has a duty to do as He said to be.

Answer 3

Yes, its a lifetime commitment.  Basically, its a promise to always love the other.  And that doesn't mean you will always wake up and have butterflies in your stomach or that you will always get along perfectly.  It means you promise to act lovingly towards the other.  Love is an action, not a feeling.  If you go into marriage with this mind set, it can be a beautiful thing.  

People get bored or feel unloved, and they check out.  

I personally think its a good thing for those who act accordingly. If two people get married for the wrong reasons, it simply isn't going to last.  

It's definitely bad in a situation if a marriage takes place to satisfy loneliness or a because of a pregnancy.  And marriage will not fix anything.  If the couple is not mature then it can actually hurt a relationship.

Marriage should not take place if it is to prove love!  You should know the other loves you because of their actions towards you everyday for somewhat long period of time before committing to vows.

A good resource for knowing how to love somebody is 1Corinthians 13:4.  I highly recommend it for those who think they feel that they are in love or are being genuinely loved by someone.

Just wait here and let me get a pen. I'll be right back, honest.  

Answer 5

Yah...you might as well handcuff yourself to another person and see how long it is before you're sick of that person.

This is exactly what marriage is...and this is what the marrieds are always trying to deny.  

Yes...they are in a state of denial and the constantly tell themselves they are "happily" married in the hopes of changing the facts.

Answer 6

marriage is a lifestyle.  it is a commitment to a lifestyle.  there are many people and 'things' in a marriage.  spouse, children, job, home, family, friends, play, education, religion, etc.

Answer 7

Marriage is far more than just a commitment to one person.  Sometimes its more than one person.  Its popular culture in the US to be monogamous, but there are plenty of people who chose "alternative lifestyles" such as those who practice polyamorous relationships (it may not be legal in the US, but popular in other countries).  Also, its not just about being commited to the other person, but daily life, family, etc
