Love ofcourse is the foundation. And I am not talking about that mushy kinda that never last rather the selfless kind of love.

In marriage there is also a responsibility of procreation, and raising of those offsprings.

As a legal contract...
it protects when it comes to benefits eg health,

The come we stay pact the girl more often than not looses out, esp if she gets kids coz the guy can just back off.

both love and marriage can exist without the other.
only the stupid get married for love.
best reason to get married---money
marriage is a contract,,,,one that entitles you to property. i suggest that you get married when marriage furthers your financial position. any other reason can get you feeling stupid when you revisit the D-court.
marriage license----$60
divorce costs-----$250-$$$$$$
marriage is big business.

hahahaha ur sooooo lost@!!
i think we need to begin at defining marriage the way it was meant to be in the first place>>?>>

the reason y many mariages are fallin on rocks esp over hea is cz we try to define marriage in our own terms to suit our selfish interersts and then before u kno it..,u hitting rock bottom.....,

money is a factor yes....,a family gota eat but its definately not the main thing....,

I think we are all missing what the OP was asking. She wasn't trying to validate or invalidate marriage. She took a hypothetical stance asking , 'what if marriage wasn't a requirement by law, would getting married (voluntarily)be the ultimate proof of Love?' I still maintain that NO, it isn't. Marriage is more like a legal contract to stay exclusively together, be entitled to each others property, to ensure that raising of the offsprings is a mutual responsibility of the two parties etc etc. Has nothing to do with love.

What's your take on this? I don't know about the 'having children first' plan, but I have had cravings of a dang cool wedding (I attended one lovely one this past weekend) but not 'being married' Your opinions highly welcome.

Love is an important ingradient in marriage.

However, love alone can not sustain a marriage.

Many variables come into play.
