Do people still get married? #16 (permalink) Sat Aug 08, 2009 11:41 am   Do people still get married?
 

Hello Alan!

The trend in my country is the same that you related on this story, but there a lot of people that prefer to get married. Some of them, because of the religion, others because they dream with this day (mainly women).
Presonally, I prefer the tendency of these days. I think, we live the same way married or not, we have to study, to work etc, but with more freedom and it is easier to spilt up when love finishes. We have to take care when we have children...
Well, I have some doubts:
1) What is the meaning of rumbustious:
2) " " " " " olden; and finally,
3) " " " " " G.O.M. .

I have one more doubt that is a sentence I found in a book:
"We "GOT TALKING" to some students" (again participles)

May you help me?

Thank you very much for all.

Personally I see no inconveniences in getting married. Of course if you in the very beginning do not have plans to divorce. Smile

In my country it's getting popular to "just live together". It's not a family - it's partnership, Alan is right. Very often I hear different reasons for not getting married yet: not enough money is the most brilliant one. As if money can ever be enough Very Happy.

People who want family in my country just get married.

My thought is that people ought to get married if they really love one another.
Marriage is a commitment to be true to each other and to share life's ups and downs.

If you are not sufficiently committed to do this then marriage is a definite no-no.

If you do decide to just live together, then for heavens sake forget about having children. It is not fair for them to have to go through life being called a bastard.

As regards being married in a church in a white gown.
If you are not a virgin then you are betraying all that the white gown is supposed to signify.

These are my views. You don't have to agree with me. This is only what I believe.

Kitos.
