The meaning of marriage is no longer as sacred as it once was. All the commitment, through sickness, through health and just everything the traditional marriage was thought to be is out the window. So, many couples are now more willing to get a divorce than ever before.

Married couples are quicker to cheat and in some cases leave there whole family behind. Talking to some single people I hear people say, “What is marriage besides a ceremony and we don’t need that to prove our love.” In my eyes, I feel like if it’s just a ceremony then why is it so hard to do. I do believe in marriage, but I believe that the true foundation of marriage is love.

Part of the reason why marriage is not the same is, because people don’t have an unconditional love for the person that they are marrying. If a couple declares that they want to get married they should mean that they love each other no matter what.

Unconditional love is being there if the other loses their job, gets sick or gets depressed. I don’t believe that means letting your partner get away with everything, because you should know the person that you are going to marry. If you love someone you may know that they will forgive you for just about anything, but you should at the same time, love them enough to not intentionally hurt them.

It’s important to know the person that you are in love and to know their weaknesses. Once you recognize your partner’s weak points you should not ignore them. When you identify what they are you have to make a choice on whether you think that is something that you can deal with. By dealing with their weaknesses you should be able to make them stronger in that area and maybe adjusting things in the relationship based on these things.

I believe that if two people truly love each other that they should get married and they should never consider getting a divorce. Marriage is very sacred so I don’t believe that couples should rush into marriage, because truly loving someone means getting to know that person.

There is now specific time period on how long it takes to know a person, because everyone is different. People have different personalities and some people take longer than others to show their true colors. People who are considering getting married do need to do research on each other. Marriage should be everlasting and I think that it should be taking very seriously. It is a sad thing when a couple is together for several years and they divorce. These couples have kids, holiday memories, the same family & the same friends.

It’s unbelievable how much couples are willing to just let it slip away. When people get married they should consider it an everlasting vow to one another and they should have every intention it stay together. If people don’t feel that way and do not have an unconditional love for one another then they should not get married.
