 Marriage - What's the point?
I've been thinking a lot about marriage lately. Not necessarily about getting married myself, but about the institution of marriage and its purpose.
What is the purpose of marriage? Is it what a couple is supposed to do because they have been together for a certain length of time and have had sex and really enjoy being around each other everyday? Is it the logical next step...a requirement for relationships? Is it just so you can have sex without going to hell (according to Christianity)?
Why get married? Does the marriage license and the ceremony seal the deal and guarantee a long-lasting relationship? Does God require a couple to take the proper steps before he blesses their union?
These are just some things I've been wondering and was hoping to hear some other opinions/perspectives about the matter.
Look forward to your responses.
