marriage is a official contract between two individuals , they promise to stay faithfull honest and such and if they break those promises then the contract can be broken and such they get divorced.... In the old days Marriage was used by kings and such to make alliances between other clans/comunities. They did it in a curch because they beleived it would make the relationship more blessed , they werent told to do it in the curch by god or jesus.
it was a choice they themself made.
Today marriage is the same as old days , its an contract between two indiviuals , but people sign that contract waaay to fast and therefore end up braking it many times...
marriage isent neccessary , its just that society makes you beleive that marriage is sumthing everyone should have before they reach a certain age , if you brake those norm and rules you can be considered an outsider and therefore feel alittle shut out.
But the truth is marriage isent a necessaty , you can have a deep and meaningful relationship you can have children and raise them with your partner without being married , i feel that todays society puts such a pressure on marriage to be a certain way , a way that is nearly too perfect , that when people strive to make theyr marriage that way they end up basicly destroying theyr relationship.....
