When people are in love, I don't see anything wrong with it in the world. If they choose to live their lives and get married, why should we interfere? A lot of people don't agree with me, but that's how I feel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not against marriage. I lived with someone for 11 years. But we weren't in love, and I thought that was quite important.
I love being in a relationship, but marriage isn't for me.
I don't know that human beings were meant to mate for life or be monogamous. But, for me, the aspect of marriage that is troubling is that it's a contract that is governed by the state, and I don't want the state to have control over my personal affairs.
Marriage is a lot of things - a source of love, security, the joy of children, but it's also an interpersonal battlefield, and it's not hard to see why: Take two disparate people, toss them together in often-confined quarters, add the stresses of money and kids - now lather, rinse, repeat for the rest of your natural life. What could go wrong?
Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.
When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.
People marry for a variety of reasons and with varying results. But to marry for love is to invite inevitable tragedy.
The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
It is most unwise for people in love to marry.
