Marriage is for anyone who truely loves each other, period. Gender shouldnt be a question, love is love. Marrage is a way to make it.... legit?....That been said, I dont believe you need a piece of paper to prove you love someone. I have said this before to my fiance about getting married. I told him I only want to get 'married' for the pretty white dress. -
Everything I learned about marwage i learned from the princess bride.-

I think of marriage as a social recognition of two individuals (gender irrelevant) who desire to live together and foster a relationship for the rest of their lives. -
"If you don't support gay marriage...then don't marry a gay!"
That's how I feel about it.
Gay's aren't ruining the sanctity of Marriage. Britney Spears is.-

Marriage is a formalization of a commitment based on a decision made by two consenting adults, to establish a life long relationship based on equality, freedom, and complementarity, rather than need.
The foundation for a successful marriage is mutual respect, trust, equality, freedom, affection, and a desire to allow one another to grow to their fullest potential within the relationship.
In successful relationships, couples have effective conflict resolution processes and they learn to adapt and change together. They accept change as an inevitable part of human life and support each other. They acknowledge that change can provide opportunities for growth and intimacy and that it can also be painful. It may mean adjusting to a new way of thinking or a new way of life. It may also mean letting go of things that have been familiar and safe.
To be clear I do NOT believe that becoming legally married is a requirement for a happy, healthy relationship that endures a lifetime. Many unmarried couples I know have demonstrated this truth. However, I do believe that it takes time to form and assess whether or not the basic ingredients for a long term or lifetime commitment exist within in a relationship, and that's what co-habitation is for. If it does exist then i believe it’s advisable to formalize that relationship by creating a prenuptial contract.

I’m Canadian. I’m a heterosexual female and I fought for same sex marriage rights in Canada. I entirely support the right of any two consenting adults who choose to enter into marriage to be able to do so. It is immoral and unconstitutional for democratic nations to deprive same sex citizens of the equal right to obtain a marriage license. It is invasive when governments and religious organizations try to control such a basic human need as to love and to be loved in return and to be acknowledged as good citizens for choosing to take care of one another.
In fact, I do not believe for one single moment that the government or any religious organizations have any legitimate role to play in the bedrooms and broom closets of their citizens. For a country like America that purports to be “free” to deprive a class its citizens of the basic human right to enter a marriage contract and be able to dispose their possessions appropriately upon the demise of one or the other is nothing short of outrageous hypocrisy.-
Geeze lady, you can not be married! We are talking about love, marriage and a lifetime of happiness not the book definition of what marriage is supposed to be or a written contract with someone you want to spend your life with. If you need a contract before you marry then you should not get married because there is obviously a lack of trust and commitment or you would not need a written agreement.
I knew my wife for 42 days before I married her over 3o years ago. We had three great kids which we believe is a big part of a long term relationship or marriage. Yes, we have had a few ups and downs but you work together, you communicate to solve issues that is all part of marriage. It is how the two of you become one after so many years together. My wife knows what I am going to do or say before I do anything or say anything.I would not trade one day of our lives together for anything.
No, marriage is not a requirement for happiness but if you love each other and you want to spend your life together why not get married?
I hope you find a soul mate, they can make all your dreams come true and they lead to a kind of happiness that you can not experience in any other way. -
@hacker2
Thanks for your concern but I have been happily married for as long as you have been.

@hacker2: "If you need a contract before you marry then you should not get married because there is obviously a lack of trust and commitment or you would not need a written agreement."
Paul McCartney trusted Heather Mills and was so committed to her that he did not ask for a prenup. Bet he regrets that decision now.

I think marriage is good if two can agree to live together with love
However I do not believe that it is a MUST for anyone or that you CANNOT possibly become CONTENT without having to marry. There are lots of people living in the world today that live a great contented single quiet life and are very happy. -
understanding each other and cooperating is marriage and nothing else.
we always learn so marriage is also a lesson in our life. -
Marriage is like a joint venture, an association for the benefits of both.
But the reason can evolve with time.
As Jacqueline Onassis said:
First marriage, you marry for love
Second marriage, you marry for money
Third marriage, you marry for conpanionship

Very well put!

I do take marriage seriously... that is why I haven't done it yet but plan to in the next two years. -
Marriage? It has always been and will always be a God created thing. He says, "Let us be glad and rejoice and we will give glory to Him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself." Revelation 19:7
My earthly marriage therefore, is the mirror image of our coming heavenly marriage to Jesus Christ when we see Him face to face!
I cannot wait for that day!-
As what the OP wants to discuss is marriage between human beings in the here and now, this appears to be yet another example of your penchant for off-topic and out of context quoting of scripture.

@love100
Remarkably I find no love or humility at all in your comment. Towards the end you began SHOUTING and lapsed into namecalling. A whore is a prostitute, therefore, you have used the term "whoredom" wrongly.
-
-
So...two people of the same sex agreeing to love and support each other for life is called "whoredom" in your book? Sign me up, then.
I will never understand why people care so much about who's having what kind of sex. Sex is sex, it's silly and fun and intimate and no-one's business but the people involved in it. If it's a religious thing, and you're upset because homosexuality angers your god -- well, doesn't eating pork anger some people's idea of god? What about working on Sunday? I don't see picket lines outside the spam factory every weekend. Either go all the way and spend your life protesting all the things people do that you don't agree with, or let it go already.-
Ironically, the most virulent anti-gay conservatives are closet homosexuals.

the difference between a weed and a flower is a judgment the difference between ignorance and awareness is a judgment -
well it is a pity that some people don't understand, what is love, marriage, sex, these three things are different from each other
sex is not love,
marriage is not love
if sex is love , why then do you go to the brothel and pay to a sex hawker to have sex?
if sex is love why will any one rape a little girl of lady?
if sex is love why will you as a human have sex with animal,is this love?
if love is marriage , there will be n divorce, so if you say you are attracted the the same sex, it does not mean that love is the center point, it mere attraction or a feeling you have for each other, because love in it true context is way way far beyond this discussion.
what i will not agreed, is that if you are having an affair with the same sex
mate, don't ever say that is love, is a mere attraction and a desire from both party, not an action of love -
timethief, will you kindly explain the meaning of whoredom to me and how it should be use
-
the truth is bitter, like i Said before, marriage that is not between A MAN AND A WOMAN IS NOT SAID TO BE A MARRIAGE
that is my point, and if you feel otherwise, then let live it for time to decide. -
Marriage,a damn good excuse for a party -
Just my opinion and I know I have no right to judge others, but I believe marriage is defined as it was traditionally thousands of years ago as the union between one man and one woman. That is what it will always mean to me. I don’t feel we should arbitrarily change definitions to suit our desires. So why do people seek unions that are not one man and one woman? My personal thought is that people have become disillusioned by the countless failed and faulty traditional marriages. We learn what we see; if a child sees his parents in a toxic relationship, chances are he will seek an alternative. Although it is off topic, I think the bigger question about marriage is what has happened to it. As Timethief stated so well, it is (or should be) a “life long relationship”. Unfortunately this is not what is occurring; over 60% of marriages are ending before life ends regardless of who is involved in the union. Maybe we should work on this?

Traditional marraige
Marriages based on couples falling in love and choosing to be bound to one another is not an ancient tradition. Historically marriage in some regions of the world amounted to a patriarch of one family negotiating and eventually handing over his chattel (daughter) and a dowry to the son of a patriarch of another family with whom he had negotiated the "settlement". In other regions, marriage amounted to stealing a woman from another tribe. When Jesus was alleged to have walked the streets of Palestine polgyny (one man having multiple wives) was common.
According to the Ethnographic Atlas Codebook, of the 1231 societies noted, 186 were monogamous. 453 had occasional polygyny, 588 had more frequent polygyny, and 4 had polyandry one woman having multiple husbands). At the same time, even within societies which allow polygyny, the actual practice of polygyny occurs relatively rarely. There are exceptions: in Senegal, for example, nearly 47 percent of marriages are multiple. -
