Honestly, marriage feels more like a checkbox now than a sacred promise. People treat it like a big party or a legal milestone, not this deep, intimate bond it used to be. It seems more about the wedding than the actual marriage.
It is important before marriage if religion's but we have to think deeper as we will spend the rest of our life's with this person our finances having kids with them and so much more
I get what you're saying about pressure and showing off, that actually feeds into what I mean. People seem more worried about the wedding looking perfect than about what comes after. The commitment feels almost secondary, like a side effect. So yeah, I don't think it's really intimate and serious anymore.
You make a fair point about the deeper stuff like finances and kids. But even with that, people still rush in without really thinking, just because everyone else is doing it. The seriousness gets lost in the routine. That's my gut feeling anyway.
But that doesn't answer the question because some people really have serious morals but yet again are human and have needs such as sex or wanting a family so do you think that the marriage part is important even if it means they wait for a long time we talking 40s or should they just get married so they can have it or should they just do it all without marriage is it important
Even if marriage isn't required for sex or kids, that doesn't change my feeling. It used to be a sacred promise, but now it's just something people do without thinking, more about the ceremony than the commitment. That's all I've got.
You raise a good point about needs and timing, I honestly can't argue with that. But my feeling still stands: most people treat marriage like a box to tick, not a deep, intimate promise. The ceremony gets all the focus, the actual bond gets lost.
