silver slurper Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 This is kind of committment when they are getting marriage, but after that, what kind of lifestyle they have? as same as before? (just like they are not marriage) or all the things or problem they can share! as the bible say " they are in a one body, husband is the head of the wife"... So MY QUESTION: why do we need to marriage? What do you think of this? How to live with another half is the best way? I've no idea for this question. Just wanna know the other's experience and opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 The reasons for an official marriage are more religious and legal than anything else. A lot of people wish their union to be recognized and sanctioned by the religion and religious customs they follow. In order to have order in a society and to give property and other rights to the members of a union, an official marriage is required by law for those purposes. If you just want to live with somebody, enjoy their company, have sex, go places, do things, have fun, etc., there is no reason to get married. You don't actually need to be married to have children but if you wish to raise them with some semblance of morality and decensy, it's nice for their benefit. In most states in the US and in Britain, after a certain period of living together couples are considered legally married under what is called common law. Do what makes you and your partner happy.
