Whats Marriage?
by nilanjana som on Jul 17, 2007 01:05 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

A live-in-relationship is neither a step to understand one's partner better nor a substitute for marriage. It is a convenience just like marriage. It is a relationship just like marriage. The only difference being the social acceptance and legal issue. Some people are not comfortable with the idea of marriage. But want relationship. Want to live with the person he/ she loves. So whats wrong?
Those who advocate marriage definitely mean, remain virgin (for both boy and girl), get married and have sex for two years, then have children and after that just live together because you are marred and have a child? May I ask where is marriage? It is only the so-called sanctity of it that most of the married couples live with than the actual marriage.
There is nothing western about this concept. It is about convenience

Stop posting that.. By the way I hav a question for YOU.. wud it be ok with u if ur father or brother or son was into it?? I assume it wud be.. since u only want to talk bout the girls involved. Are u also one of those ppl who treat their sons better than their daughters? I bet u are. sick!

It is not the question of treating son better than daughter, some biological aspects asks for a girl to be brought up with less freedom than guys. A girl has her own limitations when compared to a guy in such a relationship. Do you think the circumstances for the guy and the girl would be same if they breakup when the couple are gonna have a child? and watch out before you comment tht ppl are sick..

This guy doesn't even have the guts to mention his own name before posting messages like this. Wonder why?
