However, to idiots like me, marriage itself is a promise of eternal love, a celebration of two people coming together. But marriage is not represented by the ink on the legal paper, but rather by the emotions that it brings about. And therefore, the legal aspect is just a social obligation and nothing more.

The word love has different meanings for ppl. Love in the pure sense or unconditional love is very rare. Most of the love we is conditional & transitory. Anyway no one loves intentionally - love happens whereas marriage is intentional wether ur own or parents or sum1 else.. Marriage is a commitment IMO. One cant B blamed for falling in or out of luv as its beyond ones vol control but then as human beings we have a conscience that guides our action. I think one shud go by what ones conscience dictates under those circumstances.

Two persons living together in love should make it a point that their relationship is continuously growing, bringing more flowers every season, creating more joys. Just sitting together silently is enough....I think some intelligent world, people will love, but will not make any contracts. It is not a business! 😊They will understand each other, and they will understand the changing flux of life. They will be true to each other. The moment the man feels that now his beloved holds no joy for him, he will say that the time has come to part. There is no need for marriage, there is no need for divorce. Then friendship will be possible. You ask me why friendship is not possible between men and women.... Friendship is not possible between the jailer and the imprisoned.😊but what to do we still planing go same route and buss....even me too..😉

The law is not forcing anyone to marry. People who feel their relationship is strong without a legal marriage are free to do so. --😳

Signing a legal document for marriage is a way to secure your loved ones in case of life's uncertainties. A legal document gives the spouse and children rights to property and wealth in case of death. It allows spouses hospital visits and say in medical situations. There have been situations where family members have prohibited their child's live in relationship or partner from visiting them in hospitals or making medical decisions - and they have a legal right to do so. With a legal marriage family members have no right to bar a spouse from visiting. With a marriage you also ensure that someone you trust has parental rights of your biological/foster or adopted children. In case of an emergency extended family or social services cannot take the child away from the spouse. There are this and many other consumer, government, income and employment benefits of a legal marriage.

A legal marriage by no means replaces genuine love and trust in marriage. In fact without that genuine love and trust there is no marriage, just a legal contract.

If people feel that only love is enough and they do not need to secure any legal rights or benefits available, then they are free to not sign the legal document. If love alone could give relationships the security and protection they deserve in society, people would not give a rats ass for the right to marry.

Cos love is Insecure................And nobody knows where love will lead. It is just like a cloud -- moving with no destination. Love is a hidden cloud, whereabouts unknown. Nobody knows where it is at any moment of time. Unpredictable -- no astrologer can predict anything about love. About marriage? -- astrologers are very, very helpful....they can predict.

Man has to create marriage because man is afraid of the unknown. On all levels of life and existence, man has created substitutes----- for love there is marriage.....for real religion there are sects -- they are like marriages. Hinduism, Mohammedanism, Christianity, Jainism -- they are not real religion. Real religion has no name........ it is like love😊

I do not see why the need for some sort of structure in the legal aspect has to replace love or be above it. Its just something that adds to the love that exists. Marriage is meaningless without love. --😳
