Taking a Look at Marriage

Having two people in love and getting married can change a lot about both lives. Lifestyles will change and adapting to each other will be one of the major goals. Not being able to adapt to each other will cause stress and great pain to each other. The key to marriage is being able to withstand each other and having patience for each other. Marriage in the twenty-first century today lacks the skills of withstanding each other and patience, especially couples who get married at an early age. A perfect marriage is to marry a person who loves you for who you are and what you are, not for you to be different or to change. “The best life partner might, I think, be the one who sees you as you are and loves that person-the person who is boring and anxious or blotchy from a weekly scrub mask-not the imaginary one who is poetic and broodingly smart and sexy and ecstatic all the time” (Miller 64). This statement wrote by Catherine Newman clearly shows that a couple getting married should pick that right partner that choose you because of you and nothing different. If you choose a partner to be different or act different and not for what he/she truly is, you will guaranteed to have a hard and stressful marriage. Both of you will have trouble understanding each other and it will cause you to have therapy. Marriage therapy is very common today and one the reason of them is not loving your partner for who he/she really is. Marrying somebody can be easy, but finding the right somebody is hard. It may take more than one try to find that right

Marriages in modern culture aren’t as traditional as they once were. When society changes, sometimes we have to change. Having couples prepare three-six months before their marriage should be prerequisite around the board. Having married couples participate in marriage seminars. Those minor yet major courses could help and save a lot of couples. Maturity plays a vital part of a marriage. Learning about yourself, exploring life for yourself, and being able to make responsible choices are things that will strengthen a marriage. Education is paramount, not just for marriage but in general. Having a higher education will make for a lasting marriage. Lots of issues that can hinder a marriage, however with great preparation marriages can be just as surreal as they once

God created marriage as a union between man and woman. A woman, while still having a mind of her own and control over her own life, is under the authority of her husband. This frightens some women, who fear oppression at the hands of their husbands. While it is true that some men abuse the system that God set up for man and woman, not all men act as such. The Bible states monogamy is what God laid down as a foundational law of marriage,

Before you enter into a new life as husband and wife, I will give you some words of wisdom to help you continue to grow as a couple, be able to communicate effectively and be able to overcome the storms that may come throughout your relationship.

In America’s society today, the norm of marriage consists of the fundamental idea that husband and wife both work and are independent. The idea that there is an emotional connection between the couples is the reason for the marriage. Andrew J. Cherlin, author of the article “American Marriage in Transition” explores how the transition in marriage occurred and why it affects everyone, and even destroys that one role that wives used to play everyday of their lives. Because of the popular and powerful transition to the modernized, individualized marriage, the role of the housewife has become obsolete.

Congratulations on your recent engagement. A marriage is a very special thing shared between two people that truly love each other, and are ready to spend the rest of their lives with that person. I hope you two are ready for a lot of hard work. That may sound scary, but that is what it takes to make a marriage last. If you are not willing to be fully committed to each other, completely dedicated to one another, and ready for the challenges up ahead, then you are not ready to get married. I am

Before getting married it is important to plan one’s life after the ceremony as mentioned in the book. In correspondence Burns and Doug explains planning as dissecting one’s relationship during the courtship or engagement phase. It’s important to evaluate the relationship in order to find red flags before it is time to make a commitment. Red flags are things that someone should put into consideration before marriage to help figure out if they are marrying the right person for them. Some examples of red flags is addiction, abuse, unfaithfulness, etc. One important way to find a red flag is by talking to someone who mutually knows the relationship and asking their opinion about the relationship. Hopefully, their opinion will not be biased due to their situation if it appears to be ask another person.

The philosophy of marriage to me would be to help each other grow and succeed, not only separately, but together whether it’s financially, spiritually, or emotionally. The values of marriage are to be committed to the person that I am with. In addition, the importance of forgiveness and patience with one another is another value that I want to follow. The concepts regarding marriage would be to understand one another and willing to change for the other. We may have problems; however, we should be willing to solve it and be stronger as a couple. The marriage style that I want to pursue is an Egalitarian type. We can both be the breadwinners and providers, such as, making money, taking care of the children and equally paying the bills. I believe that this would the most significant type of marriage, due to, if we get a divorce then we do not have to rely on the other financially, spiritually, or emotionally. And that we can continue with our lives separately.

Men and women should get to know one another completely before deciding to get married. Important issues such as religion, finances, career, and whether or not to have children should be discussed so that the couple can learn each other’s views regarding the

First, the expectations of a relationship and how these expectations are met play a large part in the dyad’s assesment of how well the marriage is going. Also, the decision-making process, another important procedure that should engage both parties of a marriage, is of increasing importance in these post modern, feminist times.

A famous journalist Mignon Mclaughlin once said “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, with the same person.” Around the world there are various forms of a marriage. For instance, polygamous marriages where there is various people in a marriage. In every state marriage forms are viewed differently some are legal and others not. As culture has shaped our views on what is a right marriage most people only know of a monogamous marriage. There is so many different forms of marriage from polygyny and polyandry. What constitutes these different marriages to be wrong or better. Why not legalize different forms of marriage worldwide? Love is love either with one person or many. What if these types of marriages become standard as monogamy marriages. Therefore, in the following paragraphs what will be talked about is the positive and negatives affects a polygyny and polyandry marriage has on adults, children, families.

Today, the idea of marriage conjures images of bashful brides beautifully draped in all white, of grandiose flower arrangements climbing towards the ceiling, of romance personified. As an institution in this modern world, marriage represents the apex of romantic love, with an entire industry of magazines, movies, and television shows devoted to perpetuating marriage as an idealized symbol of the ultimate love between two people. Contrarily, as a sociological institution, marriage comes from much more clinical and impersonal origins, contrasting with the passion surrounding modern understandings of the institution. Notably, french anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss theorizes that the institution of marriage emerged from a need to form alliances between groups, with women functioning as the property exchanged so that such alliances could be solidified (Levi-Strauss).

Growing up we have always dreamt of the day we would be walked down the aisle by our fathers, or watch the love of our life walk towards up in front of rows of people. Even before were even engaged we wonder what colors or theme the wedding will be, how many people will be there, or where it will be! Unifying your love with somebody during your adult years has been something expected of us since childhood. Marriage is a big milestone in life, opening and closing many doors in life. In addition to changing your family it also affects other aspects of your life. Studies have shown that the satisfaction in marriage and the quality of happiness and health of marriage are different for heterosexuals and homosexuals. The partner’s understanding for one another, their “fighting styles”, and outlook on life are big aspects of marriage. These aspects differ among the separate groups, which is why same-sex couples have higher rates of satisfaction in life and have happier, healthier marriages compared to opposite-sex couples.

The number one mistake that couples make when marrying or moving in together is not being honest about their finances. Oftentimes, people may feel ashamed at the fact that they have a lot of debt, especially from credit cards, student loans, medical bills and more. On top of that, they may not be making very much money from their current job, and in combination with their debt, they are concerned about appearing financially unstable. The average person has some sort of debt, so there is really nothing to be embarrassed about. If you want your relationship to have the least amount of financial stress possible, then you have to be honest and fill your significant other in on what is going on with your
