Indeed, there has been much contention of late over the issue of marriage within this country. On one side, there are those who desire to keep the union between two separate genders, and those who wish to bring about the same for homosexuals. However, when we consider how most marriages end up, cannot any one see the despicable abuses perpetrated by the institute itself?
Now, I concede that there is small group of people out there who do marry for the sake of love. It is within their marriages that one could find some of the most stable households in this country. Unfortunately, these individuals do not accurately represent marriage in America.
The unfortunate reality of this particular matter is that many today get married with unreasonable expectations. Consequently, all too many get divorced. Even worse, children are sometimes thrown right into the middle of the mix, stirring up a sense of hate within them that shall likely for the rest of their lives.
So what is one to do about such a sad thing? Or would you readers rather keep it?! Perhaps, we need an amendment, or establish high standards for couples to get married.
Whatever the method, we need change.
I think we need to raise the legal age to marry. too many young people are marrying before they even know what a relationship is. this creates a marriage that is full of anger, conflict, and mistrust. imagine the money people will save if the legal marriage age was raised. No more antidepressents or child support.
People do what people want. I don't understand. This blog is under the label of "personal freedom" but it seems as if the message it is sending is limiting the freedom of people. It is true that there are many marriages that end in divorces and that many children are stuck between their parents, but there are also many more happy couples that come from young marriages. Marriage is an expression of self. We have fought so much for same sex marriage, and doesn't that just show how much the people should be able to decide for themselves who they want to be attached to by law? In regards to the issue of children, I believe that the children should choose for themselves who they wish to stay with instead of having the government choose for them. Most divorces happen because one person finds great fault in the other and, so, the children tend to find the same fault and don't wish to stay with that parent. It ought to be the child's choice, who to stay with. In the same sense, marriages should not have strict legal restrictions.
