marriage is an institution ordained by GOD. Marriage is a covenant n not a contract. Is this stupit senseless generation that called it contract so they can run away when they feel like.Is because we don't know the meaning of LOVE.

Marriage, like love, is not old-fashioned! Yes, there are many examples of people who have failed at it around us; yet there are also many examples of successful ones. I love and enjoy my marriage; I love the example set by my parents; and I learnt from the unsuccessful marriages I have seen around me.

There are many decent men and women out there who are not afraid of commitment; who are prepared to honour the other person who chooses to spend their life with them.

Many marriages fail as a result of DISHONOUR! Honour your partner, and you won't cheat on them or abuse them in any way. You would love them and seek their well-being at all times. Same thing applies to the society at large; Honour the next person! And like an earlier poster said, you can grow to love someone; that's how arranged marriages worked in those days!

Marriage; the union of a man and woman till death do them part , will never ever go out of fashion!

But Certainly not Marriage.

But hey, Marrying for happiness is simply an illusion.


It takes a lot of work

As people are beginning to see that its not worth it wasting money on what you are not sure of, wedding would definetly become old-fashioned with time.

Marriage is about two hearts twined in TRUE LOVE, it will remain till the end of time!

it depends on the way you look at it, in a certain sense it is old fashioned to some people who can argue that they dont need a piece of paper or ceremony to know they love each other, but others still see it as fashionable, i guess it boils down to "different strokes for different folks", in my opinion, though marriage can be a wondeful thing it is not for everybody, not everybody can be a pilot, doctor etc same way not everybody can be a wife or a husband, some people are better off alone!!! wink

Marriage is not old fashioned, its just abused. the way people jump into it unprepared as if its a bed of roses, they expect fairy tales and a happy ending grin grin grin, whereas,

Marriage was ordained by God right from the day of creation of man. The bible says; Marriage is honourable to all, therefore i dont see why marriage shld be old fashion, smiley

Marriage is not an old fashion and it would never be. As long as God lives Marriage is new everyday. But one thing i want you to understand is that we have different perceptions about life. The way we react to issues sometimes interrelated except we operate the same ideology about the concept. Biblically marriage is instituted by God and God'S is ever new.Anyone who thinks this way may have his/her reasons.It would never be the best one.

First of All, Marriage is not a contract. It is a covenant. I think we need to study both definitions. Secondly, It is a source of God's grace. So whether it is old-fashioned or not has no bearing on anything. It is like asking whether praying is old fashioned. It actually is. So what? I won't stop praying because of that. I think as a people, we should lose our fear of being called old fashioned.

Marriage is a good thing, it is honorable but most people going into it don't have the fear of God and cannot keep to the oath they made.

food for thought:




Daughter urges Okla. voters to not vote for father

An Oklahoma judicial candidate is fending off a political attack from his daughter, who has taken out a local newspaper ad urging voters: "Do not vote for my dad!"

His daughter, 31, said she never has had a good relationship with her father and doesn't think he'd make a good judge.

if the father had taken time to forge a good relationship with his kids, what are the chances of something like this happening?

We can't just prepare enough for marriage.
