Is marriage today as important as it was thirty years ago? Well, marriage is a big word and a huge step in a relationship. Marriage is the commitment between two persons that love each other. Getting married is not that important as it was thirty years ago. Today couples prefer to move in together before making the big step. But, what is this all about? Today's couples are afraid to make a commitment that is supposed to be for life and which includes the responsibility to build a family and the fact that only one person is going to be the partner for life.
The fear to face a new situation in life, which is full of responsibilities, is the one that does not let young couples take a final desicion when talking about marriage. Life is much more complicated these days when the street is full of competence and challenges in the working area, and when time pass and we do not notice it. Marriage seems to complicate things a little bit more. It is like a plant, it has to be fed with love, patience and time, in order to have a strong marriage that would not fall apart at the first sign of problem coming up. But in a relationship who is the most afraid of the marriage? Well it seems that men are not ready to handle a serious relationship; men think that getting married will ruin their lives because they would not be able to party or go out with their friends anymore. They do not see more of what they have in front. It is easier for them to move in with a person than propose; even tough they know it is the same situation. On the other hand, women are different; getting married is a part of their lives, it is like the top of everything. Women are more enthusiastic about getting married because they want to have children, which is the women's realization, and the children must grown in a familiar, loving environment where mother an father must be present.
A family is a group of people that care about each other.
