Should marriage be a lifelong commitment?

<< < (7/17) > >>

O.T.13.:
Nah i dont think it should
people who are planning to marry should INTEND on it being a lifelong commitment, but you never know whats going to happen, life is not predictable, why make marriage like some sort of a lifelong binding contract?

Saladin:
yes, we are talking abt the intention, it has to be good and moral. That it why it SHOULD, we never said it must be.

Alpha:
Astar,

Yes, nice comments about stars. The cinema, media, and all their brothers and sisters that make the concept of marriage a very banal one indeed. Sacredness lost.

Dude & Omer,

So that marriage is 'moral', how can it be for a temporary period?

And what about children? Are they not affected?

Are courts, mosques, temples, etc, lingerie shops? (Sorry for the word, but, it's the best one in context here) Gotta be changed once a while?

Saladin:
It depends, on the circumstance.

For example, if a husband is unruly and disrespectful of his wife and vice versa, then a divorce should be ordained. There is no other alternative as the Children growing up would be worse off in this sort of relationship.

This is the circumstance, but ppl should always intend in their hearts, that they want to make a commitment to each other.
