Should be marriage be a life long commitment? To me, it would be a definite yes.

Marriage is whereby the relationship between a man and women is legally recognized. Marriage is about committing one self to the other. In other words it means that there has been a mutual agreement set between both parties that they are going to spend the rest of life together as one. Marriage is also legalizing sexual intimacy between 2 people. In any one case would you give away your forbidden fruit easily?

In this modern day society, people tend to go for instant gratifications. People want things fast and end things fast. Does it mean that they are going to treat marriages the same way? Most of time, it would seem so. Imagine this, how would a marriage be like if a couple stays married to each other for only maybe 2 years. 2 years is just like a JC like where it happens and goes in a moment of time. In these 2 years, the couple spends time with each other and starts to get sick of each other sight. This would lead to divorce. Nothing is gained or learned during the journey, so what is the point of marrying each other then?

What is a marriage for? It is to understand each other more and be sensitive to each other. Spending time together is a good chance to understand each other and maintain the relationship they have. Marriage is where couple has decided to spend the rest of their life together. Aren’t spending the rest of their life together means being committed to each other? Would anyone want a marriage where they cheat on each other?

In conclusion, a marriage is a life long commitment. The couple is willing to spend the rest of their life together, understanding each other more each day. Everyday would be like a dating date. Children in the family also play a part in the marriage. The children hold the family together. The couple would have a common goal each day, which means of looking after their child till they grow old.
