Is marriage necessary?

I think it is important.. as to being necessary.. it really depends on a person's beliefs.

This is something everyone will never agree upon.
 
It completely depends on a person's priorities... a person who gives more importance to career, marriage might not be a priority for him/her where as a person who hasn't been much with his family throughout his life..haven't got support would surely want to have someone with him/her..
 
marriage, in my view, is most useful when one spouse is wanting to gain residency in another country. and the resident spouse is willing and understanding of this.

other than that, marriage is not required for birthing of babies, opening joint bank accounts, buying property jointly nor behaving as a loving, harmonious, joyful couple.

besides, when signing the marriage CONTRACT, where are the terms and conditions? where is the equal consideration? where is the disclosure? and where is the declaration that each party is of sound mind and free of will upon signing? (i.e. no coercion nor pressure to enter the contract). These are basic tenants of what constitutes a contract.

and besides, the marriage contract - with no terms and conditions, no equal consideration and no full disclosure - is made with the STATE as third party. whats the benefit in that? Tax deductions?

any thing else?

before marriage registrations, all births and marriages were recorded on family records or in bibles or other treasured volumes.

my view is: keep the STATE out of my business. I do not want their benefits of my voluntary participation.
 
It depends, some may view it as necessary and some not, but ultimately we have been shaped to view it as necessary and it is a thing that is sough after by many, especially the female species. Security and sense of belonging being the major factors that make marriage necessary however there are many other problems that are associated with marriage....
 
necessary for sex-yes, but also otherwise. There are many instances when a single person cannot tackle what the two of them together can and do tackle. Life is good and to be enjoyed but some lows are also usually there.
Then there is also a question of sharing where two different opinions may, with discussions, bring out a better alternative. An honest opinion of the partner is also required when one may be moving in grey areas.
 
hmmm i think its neccesity of life but aftr stability in career. Untill being a boy u r nt earning enough to meet the expences of ur partner dnt take decision of marriage and the problem comes from family side sometime. so we have to make balance in both part.
 
its important as it gives your relationship a "name" in this hypocrite society.... & no matter how broad minded you are, the bottom line is that you have to live in this society and you gotta follow its rules as well
 
Marriage is something that needed to be taken seriously as upon the ceremony itself, vows are made and the heaven is the witness to the lifelong communion.
However in this new age sadly, marriage is treated nothing more than the purpose of conveniency and self interest.
Thats why the divorce rate is higher nowadays.
 
Definitely necessary……
What is the difference between us and other animals? If we don’t marry
It will give us perfect balance in life.
A social respect in cultured society.
 
yes.....marriage is definitely necessary...because at a later stage of life..u need a partner to support u..who is always there besides u as a companion.
 
No one in the modern age would suggest that a single-parent family is not a family. With a large number of people growing up in single-parent households, it would not be right, fair, or proper to suggest that a one-parent family cannot function and achieve the same things that a two-parent family can. However, studies do suggest that children who are raised with both a mother and a father do have certain circumstantial advantages over children raised in one-parent households.
