Marriage is no longer sacred.

[novixz]

You read that right. Marriage is an outdated tradition in modern day society. Divorce is a somewhat common thing today, and that's a shame and all that jazz. Now, I'm just going to come out and say this: When you get married, you vow to each other to be with each other until death do you part. Not until somebody better comes along, not until you get bored of one another; until you die. I understand people change and personality's are like rolling stones, but it's a rolling stone you chained yourself to, forever. At this point you maybe calling me old school and I need to get with the times, but this is where the whole sanctity of marriage thing people keep yammering on about comes into play. Marriage is a tradition, a tradition some people don't seem to grasp the concept of. I'm not calling you a bad person if you're divorced or anything, I'm just saying marriage, at this point in society, is no longer needed. I'm going to stop here and keep explaining as the thread continues

That's why all marriage vows should be "Til hot blonde secretary with great tits do we part"

Eh.. sorry, I don't believe a piece of paper means someone should stay with someone who abuses them forever and ever, amen. *shrug* Personalities do change, and some change it to be expected. But, when it comes to the point that the change either makes you constantly miserable or actually puts you in danger, sanctity can go fuck itself, in my humble opinion.

This is really a HUGE generalization. Do some people take for granted their ability to get married? Yeah, they do, and it's sickening, really. But that doesn't mean that it's something that should be abolished completely. Sure, maybe it needs some upgrading for the times, but not all people are the same. Some people, myself included, fully plan on sticking to the 'until death do you part'. Unless circumstances arise, of course. But that's our right, to chose if we want to divorce or not, just as it's our right to chose who and when we want to get married to.

That's amazing I laughed hard.
OT: I don't give two shits about marriage because I'm not religious, I don't need a god I don't believe in two give the green light on my loving of a woman. In todays world we don't need marriages. Unless your religious

Did The Escapist crowd just go through a bad breakup or something?

Marriage itself is great; people are stupid. People get married too quickly, too young, because someone got knocked up, or feel like they have to because it's what they're "supposed to do". Very few are doing it for the right reasons.

My parents had me at 17 and were married at 18...they had three of my four "stupid reasons to be married" and shockingly, divorced when I was...3? My Dad was a drunk and my Mom decided that living like that was not worth it.

Yay for generalizing! I wasn't aware that everyone must at some point get divorced, thank you for explaining that to me

This is as stupid as the threads complaining about women being heartless bitches and men being sex crazed douchebags.

Yay for generalising some more! Surely all marriages go with the "until death do as apart", umm, part. There isn't a single one that doesn't feature that promise. Except for my uncle's wedding I was to. And my cousin's. Actually I first became aware of "until death do us apart" due to Hollywood movies. I hadn't even heard of anybody using it beforehand.

When you get married, you vow to each other to be with each other until death do you part.

Not necessarily. Our vows didn't include any such thing.

(Also, born in 1996? Jesus. I literally have shoes older than you.)

Yay for completely missing the point!
I never said all marriages go with "until death do us part". I said that not every marriage ends in divorce. Or perhaps you can't read?

Sorry, that was addressed at the OP. I just wanted to build on what you said.

Also, another thing I know through movies only:

Marriage is only a religious thing. Where I came from, we have civil marriages (or civil unions, if you wish), where a man and a woman just go and sign some papers. You can have your church ritual separately or on the same day or not at all.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Marriage hasn't been "sacred" for hundreds of years. Just ask King Henry VIII.

(PROTIP: "'Til Death Do You Part" is not carte blanche for "Off With Her Head".)

 

[Angie7F]

Marriage is not sacred.

It's just a legal system.

Since society and the environment has changed, marriage is in need of redefining.

Also til death do us apart was easy when your life expectancy is only til 60.
Now t hat many people easily make it in to their 80s, that a tough vow to live up to.
