Marriage is a legal union between two persons. Though it has been around for centuries, the dynamics has changed. It no longer signify a union between heterosexuals but also homosexuals.
Many have disregarded the meaning of this sacrament and have used it to fulfill their own agenda.
Don't get me wrong, though I am not the marrying kind I still believe respect should be shown for marriage and not be made a mockery of, especially if the parties involved claim to be religious.
If not, for others marriage is simply a legal contract that benefits the two persons involved.
In traditional, man and woman marriages, so much effort is placed into planning a glamorous wedding and not into maintaining the relationship. Whats the point??
If indeed I was the marrying kind I would opt for the simplest and least expensive way; in a judge's chamber.
Having an extravagant wedding is pointless and goes against what the union should symbolize. It just shows that the two parties involved are more concerned with appeasing to the many that are insignificant than the few who are relevant.
To me marriage is just another social construction that has been made into something that is mandatory by society. Being a non-conformist, I don't believe I should do something just because it's traditional and satisfy some stereotype of society.
To me marriage should not be just about "Love" (whatever that means) because it would not last. The two parties should be friends first! Marriage like any relationship, be it intimate or business, requires mutual respect, compromise, sacrifice and most significantly WORK.
